| Mr.. Binney remarked, tha, in secondine the mo-
tIon tor vote OF thanks he would take the liberty
OF briefly stating his reasons for it. From the pa
pers on the table, and from the lucid exposition of


the affairs oil the Bank by the President, it was OBJ
eious that the profits of the Institution had material
y increased since the last trennia meeting of the
Stockholders; aud he conceived this to be in
principal degree the effect of measures of the Bank
which had for their object, the augmented crcua-


on oil It's notes, the increase of private deposits and
the extensive purchase of Domestic Exchange, in
which part OF this circulation was beneicialy EN-
ployed in the Southern and Western parts of the
Union


he result 1t appeared to him was that the Bank
now possessed in Its circulation and private depos-
us, OF sum exceeding oy more than seven mil.
mons, The amount nf those items at the last riennal
meeting: and from this and other circumstances il
was easy to deduct the increase off from three to
live hundred thousand dollars in its annual nett prof
u.s. he subject was moreover to be regarded in its
aspect toward the country al large for by pursuing
the policy which had led the result Jus, stated SO
beneficial to the stockholders, the bank had disc harr
ed It's public duty by promoting the interests Of the
community at large and the consequence was in adj
don to the increase of profits, an increase of good
will through the country which had been concated
bv the facilities furnished to il in the transactions off


its business. Upon these grounds he cordially Sc
conded the motion, which gave the thanks Of the
stockholders to the administration of the Bank, as
one that had been able, faithful, and successful.
