BANKS IN INSTRUMENTATION eighty
millions of dollars are invested in the banks
and saving Institutions in Massachusetts
fifty four millions being in banks, and
twenty-six millions in savings institutions.
Over one-half of this vast sum OF eighty
millions is probably held by the various in.
stitutions in the city of Boston. Nearly
two-thirds of the entire Banking capital is
in Boston. 1t will thus be seen that the
savings banks, of whom business men are
almost unaware. of their existence, have
nearly one-half as much capital as the reg
ular banks.

LET 1HIS SUFFICE.

The Eogle Of last week endeayors to ere
ale the impression that the Gazette Is soon
to 90 into the hands oGMr. BEATY,a mem
Der ofthe Democratic party, and indeed a
prominent lea Ter in that party. We would
inform the Eagle that tits laboring under
an erroneous impression, and that the Ga
zette is not for sale. 1t is true, the gen.
tleman referredto recently made us an offer
of twenty-five hundred dollars for our cs-
tablishment, with the avowcd intention Of
publishing Democratic paper; but we
preferred keeping it under ourown control.
The Gazette can't be purchased for any
such amount and if ever it does change
hands, the editors of the Eagle can rest as
sured that it will not go into the hands Of
a Locofoco. We have no doubt there are
those among the friends Of the Pope's or
gan who would hail with uabouuded joy
a change in the proprietorship and tone Of
