NEW ORLEANS BANKS.

Tie military eommandant of the Department Of
Louisiana having, on the 9Th inst, announced in
General Orders No. that on the fourth Monday Of
this month the military control of tie five banks
OF this city which are in liquidation would pc
transferred to directories duly by the stock
holders OF the respective banks, We deem the
present fitting opportunity to examine iato s''e
former movement of such of our financial lnstitu
tons as were in existence previous 70 Ihe war;
and TO contrast il with their present eohall'oh as
certified By the various officers representing them
an tbe last fiay Of the year just closed. lauda.
Bile curiosity would justify the scrutiny we have
nronosed Ia ourselves, but in entering upon it we
feel inpelIed by higher motive, one which has
for its object the good Of the community at large,
which is always affected by an excess or deficiency
of capital in the prosecution of their various ayo-
cations. New Orleans being a great commercial
city, and having by prescriptiYa right long en-
joyed the principal part of the trade of the Msss-
sppi Valley, her business men saw at an early day
the vital Importance not only of large aconmula-
ton Of capital at this point for facilitating trade
but also the imperative necessity for wise and Ja-
dicious banking laws, hence the character which
she soon acquired and ever retained OF
the soundest financial system of any State
on this continent. her DallhS hdu always
been regarded as specie paying banks, and, in
fact, so great was the confidence reposed in their
solvency and management, that for many years
the bills or notes which they issued were held at q
premium above specie. This being the case, it is
painful to reflect that the close of the war finds US
with but six of the eleven banks which were in
existence at its opening now in a condition to
transact business, the five others being in state
of liquidation. Had none but the parties directly
interested in these institutions suffered by the
transition, we would not go into the present
investigation, but as every resident Of New Or
leans is more or less effected by whatever tends to
the prosperity or adversely Of the Crescent City,
we cannot be deemed alarmists when we assert
that there is not half as much capital welded at
present in her commerce and business as is abso-
lutely necessary for their uninterrupted proseeu-
tiun and final success. No complaint was ever
uttered of redundancy Of capital previous to the
war, and if all that was then in the hands of COR
poratons and individuals found profitable invest
ment, it is palpable that the present deficiency
must prove exceedingly onerous, as the diminu-
ton in the legitimate trade of the city is entirely
disproportionate to the reduction of the means,
which is indispensable for its successful proseeu-
ton.

N ANGELEBR ATOM. The eleventh anniversary of
NE Home for Jewish Widows and Orphans, was
celebrated yesterday, at Masonic Hall, with an
eclst, good taste and Hberality, which were in
the highest degree creditable to those who super
intended the ceremonies. The spacious hall was
thronged to its fullest extent with an audience as
Intelligent and respectable as was everour fortune
"a Witness in any city.
Il The proceedings were opened with fervent
and eloquent prayer from the Rev. Mr.. Gutherin,
Thar whom more estimable, able or charitable
servant of God is not to be found in the southern
country. The overture from sss5emiramis,. which
succeeded, was beautifully and fauItlessly played
by MI. 0liveira, the prince of yielinists, accom-
panied by Mr.. Grueling on the piano. The Grafton,
by Alex. Dalshein1er, Esq, soaring far above the
ordinary run Of national and patriotic efforts usual
IN such occasions, had nothing tame on common
place throughout the delivery. The FIRE. grace and
el0qnence OF the orator reminded one of Soule
And Prentias and when, with hisystronglY marked
physiognomy and his long, abundant hair, Mr.
Dalsheimer spoke of the Hebrew race as the royal
descendants Of the mighty Kings of Gods
chosen people, in the days Of their superhuman
power and magnihcence, there was something in
the picture and its surroundings which We have
never seen surpassed,
II The other performers, particularly those Of
Siadarae Schwartz and the orphan children Of both
sexes, were xceedingly pleasing and artistic. Du.
ring the four terrible years from which this country
has just emerged, there has been no class of popu
Iation which has shown more true, transformations
kindness and benevolence, than the Hebrews,
their hands have ever been sopen as day to melting
charity " and we shall not be the most backward in
giving them the tribute which Is their due from
The suffering people Of the land.
Tie children, for whose benefit this charitable
anniversary was observed, looked more like the
saucy youngsters who are the pets Of papa and
mama. than the fatllerless dependents upon the
kindness Of strangers; and if the ladies whom we
saw clustered amongst the children, are the He
brew widows, Nc are shrewdly Of the opinion that
they will not wear the weeds long unless their
hearts ARE ateeled the opportunities of the
bachelors present.
