BANK OF NEWCASTLE

In another column will be found an announcement of the first Provincial Bank ever established in the Colony, under the title of the Bank of Newcastle. An institution of this sort may be rendered of very essential convenience and service in facilitating transactions amongst the inhabitants of that extensive and thickly settled district, and in the hands of Mr. Boucher, we are disposed to anticipate the concern will be managed with that prudence and skill which are essential to its success and utility.
