Bank of the United Stutes Assipnment


On Saturday, the Directors of the Bank of the
United States made an assignment of mos, of the
valuable asscsts Of that institution to the following
ramed gentlemen :-Robertson, President; J. S.
Newbold, Director; Richard Bsysrd, of Della.
ware; Thomas S. Taylor, Cashier Herman Cope,
Assistant Cashier.
The preferences, if they can be so denominated,
are one or two small demands next, those indi.
vidLals to be secured who have made themselves
responsible for any liabilities of the Bank, particu-
arly those who have entered security on judgement,

mounting, we think, TO nearly two hundred thou
sand dollars. The proceeds Of the remaining por-
ilon of the assests nre to he appropriated for the
benefit of the general creditors, the note holders de-
posors. &c.
With reference TO this asst gnmen,, we may re.
mark that it is called "partal assignment" not
general because general assignment would not be
valid without the assignees entering security for
twice the nominal amount assigned, and no set OF
men in this or any other city of the Union could
find such security or, at any rate, none would &C.
cept trus, of such little profit upon such an enor-
nous condition. The assignment is, therefore,
partial, and is authorized by an act Of Assembly
granting the Bank power to make partial assign
menis without asking security from the assignees.
Without knowing, we presume the schedule of pro-
perty assigned contains nearly all the valuable pro-
perty of the Bank not included in the two former
assignments, viz the one for the benefit of the city
banks, and the other for the bene, Of the note hold
eTs.
One condition of this assignment is well worthy
of remark, viz: the assignees may receive notes Of
the United States Bank for any bills receivable,
notes or bonds due; and they have, besides power
ment therefor notes of the United States Bank.
The assignment allows to M,sssrs. Robinson,
Bay and Newbold fifteen hundred dollars year
each for their services, and to Messrs. Taylor and
Cope four thousand dollars year each. ! his is
