REMOVAL OF THE DEPosIrs.-The stock, lock
e al. d. e D-I.
removed to-day from the corner of Union and ST.
Charles streets 10 the corner Of Exchange alley
hnd Canal street. The transfer attracted infinitely
lsas attention, however, than q similar movement
bn the part Of one Of our best and most unselfsh
presidents in the days Of the old United States
Bank, and strange as It may appear, instead of
brousing the indignation OF a professedly injured
population it was hailed by all of our best citizens
hs wise and judicious movement, But to digress,
HE recently chosen and very popular president
md directory Of the Bank of New Orleans have,
bgreeably TO previous notice, abandoned the $50
lated position where the affairs Of that instlution
have heretofore been conducted, and have
located themselves in the very center Of the
business portion Of the city. The building on
the corner Of Exchange Alley and Canal street
has been reftted and furnished in very tasteful
nnd, We might add, elegant style; and It's naugu-
ration to-day as banking establishment attracted
numerous friends and visitors. The writer of
This Acknowledges the receipt Of a polite invita-
lion from the president of the bank to be present
npon the occasion, and regrets exceedingly that |
owing TO imperative duties be had to deny himself
That pleasure. From gentlemen who were more |
i rtunate, however, We have learned that all out
siders who ventured in were kindly cared for,
hnd that the success of the Bank of New Orleans
pr der its present very promising and favorable |
huspices was frequently toasted by several Of our
most prominent and entefprising fellow-citizens.
