FIRST NATIONAL BANK.-By an a1ver-
tisement winch will be found in another column
OF our paper to-day, the reader will perceive
that the business OF the First National Bank of
Philadelphia has been removed to No. 800 Ches-
nut street, during the period required for the
erection of the new banking mouse of the 1nsti-
tuition on the ground occupied by the building
formerly used by the st. Louis Hotel. The edi-
fee will be sixty feet front on Chestnut street,
one hundred and forty ieet IN depth on Hudson
street, sixty feet hign, and masslvely CONSTRUCTED
of Quincy granite. fhe entire building will be
ocCup ed for the business of the bank, which
has expanded to such proportions as to
satisfy the managers that smaller space would
not suffice. THIS has been satisfactorily
ascertalned by the experience of the in
stitution IN the building used by the old
hotel. The whole front apGr ment will be used
for the banking operations, the rear apartments
being devoted to the President, Cashier, Drec-
tors, etc. John Macarthur, Esq, is the architect,
and John Rice, ESQ.,, builder; and it is expected
that the building VIII be finished and ready for
use by October l ensuing. The coarse texture
OF the Quincy granite necessarily admits of but
little ornamentation; but what it loses IN this
way is more than made up by the imposing
aspects of a well.prOportioned edidce OF massive
construction in this material, as Is shown by the
Jayne buildings and the Philadelphia Bank.
The new First National Bank will differ entirely
from these in appearance, though quite as mas
sive. Two lofty pillars, each six feet in c1rcum-
ference and twenty feet I'm height, will form the
main feature OF the facade. 1t will materially
change the appearance OF this portion of the
street, and also increase the width OF Hudson
street. Altogether, the Improvement will be
creditable to the institution and beneficial TO
the city.
