L. s. BANK OF PESNsrLvASIA.-Tho
President, Cashier, and six Directors of this
institution csigncd their places on Thursday,
and Col. William Dayton, formerly mem
Der Of Congress from South Carolina was
elected President, and the places of the six
Directors who resigned filed by gentlemen
Of high standing and first rate business hab-
its. The new President is gentleman of
the most unbcnding integrity and Of great pu-
rity Of character,
The stock has been sold since the election
at $50 per share.
The Report of the committee appointed
to investigate the condition of the Bank dis
closes revolving scene of corruption and
mlsmanagcmcnt for the last four or five
years. The late officers Of the Bank ap-
pear not to have been properly controlled
by the Directors, and to have used its funds
in their own private spcculations. Indeed
it appears since the removal of the depositcs,
to have been managed almost as badly as
the Manhattan Bank, the dcpositc Banks in
Boston, or any other locofoco institutions.
After the arbitrary power of the General
Government was directed against it with
spirit Of indscriminate fury that no regard
for the commerce of the country could allay,
the Bank appears to have broken loose
from its former safe moorings, and to have
dashed headlong into the wild speculations
which the enormous increase of paper
money authorized by locofoco state legisa-
lures, rendereds so rife throughout the country
The following article exhibits the detcrmi.

The adjourned meeting OF the stockholders which
was very large took place this morning The pro.
ceedngs were protraccd that we can only mention
the Leading points recommended by the Committee
appointed to report upon the course proper de adop
ted by the Bank. Their recommendations were =
To reduce through the agency of the Legislature
the capital to fourteen Millions and to have the loans
TO the State and the sums paid 10 the State reduced
to the ratio established for other Banks
To change the name of the Bank. To restrict the
mode of voting byproxy.
To protect by special security the Circulation, De-
postes, and Post Notes of the Bank.
These, as well remember, were the man
points OF the Committees Resolutions The debates
on some OF them were very protracted Several 9th
er resolutions were adopted
Among them one ins,ructing the Directors To
inquire into the Obligations incurred by the former
officers of the Bank, and if posi- lie TO proceed by
legal means 10 enforce the fulflment Of them. Ano
er absolyed tine clerks from Their oaths TO keen the
secrets OF the bank from the stockholders The
meeting adjourned to meet on the second Tuesday in
