The Banking Interests and the Peace.

In view of the certain results Ia the com

arising out of the late war aud the present
peace, it behooves the bank managers t"

trouble next fall. Wehud occasion to ulIserye
in our monetary column Yesterday, that
many of the banks in this city are falling in
IL the same error from which all the mischief
of 1851 eyentnated. The termination Of the
Crimlram war found our banks comparative
" r"ntrarted but the necessities oi Europe
demanding large exports 81 goods Ia tins

they burst, and disaster v widespread and des-
tructive fell upon the commercial communl-
ty. The desperate attempt they made to con-
tract when the coming storm WAS visible,
only Increased the trouble and hastenrd II

in Europe finds many of our banks expand

institutions take warning in time. The
