It will not lie deemed out of | l ice t<> make a few remarks on practical banking; paitieu. larly at a season when banking institutions obtain so much favor, ami at a time too when there is so little practical know ledge abroad adequate to their management. This is a subject, which, in all its practical bearings, can only be thoroughly understood bv well indoctrinated merchants?the Hank of Venice ''whose merchants were prim es,"'folly prepared in the elements and praesice of their profession. In confirmation <i| their extraordinary practical knowledge in their profession. | need only mention that it was there that the art of keeping hooks by double entrv wasfii?l discovered and sent abroad; tlie elementary principles of which have Mucethat period been modified, cltanged and adapted to the v:?ii??tis business of the merchant. Hut the art itself remains um hanged. The next bank called into existauce was the Hank of Paris, and suhseqmi tlv the Hank of I'liglamf. i h"Se three have been the parents of all subsequent banks. However divetsified the latter may lie, it is io?t dillieiill to trace them all to a common 01i_fiii. The inference is that whereas hanking institutions are the oll*>;ni:ig of the in* reliant*, none tuil fbi'in are ea m a hie of inali.'i" in" I heir atl'.iii's throughout nl! the (*< !<piiuciples up. p'icable tosuch institutions. Hence,a* a Slate becomes a hanker, to he successful, >he must conform t" tlie practice ;t!i<J usages of her s >ter institutionsAt this place the inquiry will reasonably he i made, wli if are these rules! To attempt to detail all of them \V"iiM require more time ami patience than 1 can afford. Although I will not attempt to detail :iIi ol them. I will u??t shrink hack from detailing a part of tliein. Ail ir.id"s ami profes-d0:1s have their secrets app rtain ng the: eto.thc developeuient of whi-di, in ni l ;y instances, would he followed by ver\ serious cO'i<eipieu vs. it't he di?co\vi i<-s of the j head ami skdl of the lian Is were ui h-wooie cotntiioii property, an end would he put to all Hew inV'-ntimis ami diseoveries Why is it that the priest at the confession d. tIn* I swier i:i referctsce to his cli-nt, the merchant's and all entered apprentices, are legally yK?'twd to keep the .-eivets of a I the parti. /. as 1 lie ease icquin s. To any enmmoti understanding the sotiinl reason for the rule must lie ohvious. If i he merchant's employee* are pettnitted to snhinit to palili g.r/.-' I.is emp|o\ el's fjjiMits or los-.'s. siieh di*e|osiire wmsid necessarily produce envy on one side, and a diminution ol credit on the other; iiolh of whi.-li the prudent merchant i- anxious to avoid. As I have said before, S'? say I now. that a hank is no other than a legitima'e if|sp,,ing ol the merehatit, all buy and seii commodities ; all do inereaiiti!e act-; and all wlio do so, are hound hy the law of the met chant.
