THs NATIONAL MErRoPoLIrAN BASK.-A
few days since a resolution was offered in tue
House Of Representatives by Mr. Ella. OF New
Hampshire, directing an Investigation and re-
port by The committee as to what LEGISLATION il
required TO enable Comptroller H1rihuri to
wind up the affairs of The National Bank OF
the Metropolis" II has been enormously sup.
posed by some persons that the bank alluded
TO is the old District Bank Of The Metropolis"
now known 1.-The National Metropolitan
Bank This Is a mistake. The institution
mentioned in the resolution was organized
under the national ban king law some time, we
believe. IN 1863, and adopted the name of "rhe
National Bank OF the Metropolis" and es-
tablisned its office on 18th street a few doors
from the old Bank Of the Metropolis, which
had not Ihsn acceded to the banking law. This
new bank of Uhittenden Co. whent into IL
qudatien in October, 1862 but IL appears at its
affairs have not vet been finally wound up
When the old Bank Of the Metropolis came to
adopt the national banking system, it found Its
name already appropris ted by another, and
was obliged to STYLE itself "rhe National Me-
tropoItan Bank" or abandon all ssmblauce of
its old name. II is one of the oldest aad best
u
equal to that OF any banking institution IN the
United States. Under the careful man igemeat
OF DR.. John Ii Blake, president, Moses Kelly,
cashier, and a board Of directors COMPRISING
many OF our wealthiest and most Influential
citizens, il commands the entire ontiderc e of
the whole business community here, aud
should not be- confeuuded with the institution
named IN tho resolution, which has been closed
