Dear Sir,—I see by the Examiner that Caweron has sailed for Kurope to Island Steam Navigation Company.

Bank cf P. EB. Island.

l'o the Editer of the Leraminer.

Mr. Evrror,—I trust that the Share- hulders and especially the Depositors in the above Bank will make a careful note of the letter signed “Veriias” in your issue of Tuesday last

{i clearly shows that, at leastsome of ths parties who assisted to bring the Bank to ite present deplorable condition are qui e¢ prepared to wake another baul should it azain resume buyiness.

‘* Veritas” writes like a deeply injured p-reon; and no doubt he feels so for various reasons. It may be that he did not succeed im getting so large an amount out of the Bank as he had imtended, then for the last cwo months he could not get any, then gain, ‘‘the Seribes and Pharisees of Uh town” have been broadly hinting, even vpenty stating, that it is not consistent with common honesty for any person to get money out of a Bank whea he knows that he will net be able to return it. I should think, Mr. “Editor, that very shame should constrain those who have profited largely out cf the Bank at the expense of others, t keep silent, at least for the present. Lt seins, however, that it is not enough for Sha ebolders and Depositorsto suffer injary, but they must submit toiusult as well from those who have aided to fleece them. I make no allusion to parties who have beou e-rrying on a legitimate and honest busi- ness, and who have received moneys frow the Bank by the authority of the Board of Directors, even though they may have overdrawn their accounts to some extent. Banks do not often lose by such persone, as

hey keep their business within their means aud are always able to give ample security to the fuli amount of their indebtedness.

I refer to quite anocher class of persons, to which, if ** Veritas” does net belong, he is, at least, an apologist and defender, viz., of those who have got money out of other vanks withont ever paying it back, or who have failed in business when their shops were fall, or who paid their creditors with the promise of 30 cr 40 cents on the dollar.

It is a fact that certain parties, who could not have got ten dollars’ credit from any- one who knew them, have Managed to secure thousands out of the P. BE Isiaod Bavk. But ‘ Veritas” tells us, “ Those wen did not, 1 believe, steal into the Bank in the darkness of the night and rifle the vanlis ” If not, they did what was mora ly as bad, without the risk of being lodged in the penitentiary. Like a pack of hungry woives, they pursued the poor, week- minded young man who had charge of the vaults, till they got him under their in- fluence and control, and thus made the Bank’s money an easy prey. These wor- thies may regard themselves as virtuous— and even injured men—but all honest peo- ple look upon them as no better, in any respect, than ordinary thieves.

In reply to his sneers at depositors, J may inform ** Veritas” that some of them had not only. ‘t 2 few hundreds” but even then- sends, in the vaults of the Bank, for which they recived no * huge dividends,” but only the very moderate return of 5 per cent. Even this has been suddenly swe pt rom them, and a good part of it has gone
