Committee appointed by the Legislature to ex-
anime The Mssi,sPpl Union BanA. The re-
pou makes It quite clear to Us that lhe Bank
win not be able to NEE, her liabilities, and sustain
n specie payment Of her notes when they are ma.
iured Aler making an exhibit Of lbo condition
Of the bank, giving rs liabilities oaI resources
he Committee say
"ltwiil be perceived By reference to the above
statements, that the liabilities Of the bank over li,
available resources at thls time VIII exceed four
million Of dollars, and that by the matunty Of lhr
May ISSUES, unless a large portion Of her bills re-
cclyable are paid, the bank viii fall short Of the
means necessary to enable her 10 sustain specie
payment Of her notes lha, viii mature at that time,
hence the committee suppose that i is essential
20 the soYency Of the bank that she require
prompt payment by her debtors, OF that she ne
golIale a sullicenry of the State bonds to enable
her to meet tho Apul and May post notes
The Committee then proceed to show that
there as no probability Of her negotiating the State
bonds, Or obtaining prompt payment from her
debtors, and Of course that she viii not be able 10
pay her notes IN specie as they mature.
We were struck, in looking over the report Of
the onion Bank committee, with the enormous H.
biliIes Of the Directors. The total liability Of
Hiram &. Ruoncs, tho President amounts to
$2l2,37s,62 and the aggregate liabilities Of the
Board, to SL0iL9G3,07!l But as we intend
to publish the. Report we Gorboar further com.
