An Interesting Lecture by United states
contptroIier Knox.

Hon. John Jay Knox, Comptroller of
the Currency, delivered the second Of course Of
three lectures on finance before the students of
Johns Hopkins University, baltimore, Monday
evening. The hall was well filled by an audience
which included many Of the leading bankers and
business men of the city. In the first lecture,
which was given on Thursday last, Mr.. Knox
commenced by defining the character Of the busi
ness and functions of y bank, and presenting the
magnitude and importance of the banking busl-
ness in this country, afler which he announced
that his three lectures would consist of brief re-
view of banking as IL has existed In this coun-
try since its organization, and would include
first, colonial banking previous To the adoption of
the Constitution; second, the subsequent systems
of banking authorized by the laws of the United
States and of separate States and third, the ma
tional banking system, including some of the char
ncteristics OF modern banking. \ sketch was given
OF the Suffolk system in New England and the
charter safety fund and free banking systems In
New York and other similar systems, which were
organized in Ohio Indiana, and Illinois and other
Southern aud Western States, The lecturer closed
with general review of the different State systems
in operation at the time of the passage of the
tional bank act in 1868 The grouping of all the
leading events connected with banking in the
United States from 1916 TO lS63-a period of forty
seven years-required great condensation, but the
subject was presented in II clear aud concise man
ner, and held the attention OF the audience closely
for more than an hour.
