BY the following article it will be perceived,

PHILADELPHIA BANK CONVENTION.
Agreeably to arrangements, the delegates from
Banks assembled Yesterday at noon, in the Hall
of the Pennsylvania Bank


John B. Morris, Esq. President of the Me-
chanics Bank Of Baltimore, was elected President
of the Convention, and Elihu Chauncey, Esq.
of this city, Secretary.


Banks from the following named States were
either represented by delegates or pledged them
selves by letters to abide the decision Of the Con-
vention:


Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
PeRnsylvania, Delaware, Maryland
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri.


The following resolution was proposed and
adopted unanimously:


Resoired, That the Banks represented in this
Convention will resume specie payments on the
18th August next, and recommend that day for
the adoption of the Banks generally.


One or two representatives thought that the
ninth would he better day, though the avhu
was not stated. The THIRTEENTH day of August
is then fixed on as that for resuming specie paw
ments-the day designated by Governor Ritner in
his message. We congratulate our fellow citi-
zens upon this result, and hail it as the dawn of
"a new i'll business.
