Bank Of Virginia, is no more. From the Lon
isville Jourr. OF October 4,h, We take tie par

observes, his death is public loss. He was a
native, and, Tor many years, resident, Of our
town. He was chosen, some years ago, Presi-
dent of the Bank Of Virginia, under circumstances
which s.rikingly evinced the unlimited conf
dence repo,ed by the public in his ability and
integrity. Since that period he has resided in
Richmond, ADD had already obtained such hold
on the affections Of il, citizens, that his party (ihe
