A new banking institution, to be loca-
ted in the American Hotel building, will
be opened on Saturday next. We have
been unable to learn the names Of the
parties in the interest Of this new move
ment except that William McClymonds,
ESQ.,, late the popular cashier Of the
Union National Bank, will be the cash
ier, and that the stockholders are among
our wealthy citizens. The fact that Mr..
McClymonds is to be the cashier is an
assurance of the excellence Of the new
institution.
