An Important Opinion ICclnlive to National Jliinkn A)l)iiliiiM I lie Old Mule Hank Mynti-iii. The following opinion has just been promul gated: Attokney-Gexekal's Office, May 10, ISti'l. Sir: lu your letter of April 0, 1801)", transmit ting a copy of a letter, from the Comptroller of the Currency of the same date, calling attention to his letter of October 18, 1808, and referring to a letter of the late Secretary of the Treasury to my prede cessor of October 10, 180S, vou re quest my advice upon the points presented there with, which have been carefully considered, and upon which 1 am now prepared to submit my opinion. The Comptroller states in his letter of April 0 that ho is informed, and has reason to believe, that quite a number of national banks in the city and State of New Y'ork, in order to avoid the restrictions and limitations im posed by act of Congress, contemplate a return to tho State system, under what they now call the enabling act, passed by tho Legislature of that State tor that purpose: and in his letter of October 15, 1808, he states that the President ana directors ot the National Mechanics' and Fanners' Bank of Albany, au in stitution organized under act of Congress to provide a national currency, secured by ii pledge of United States bonds, and to provide for the circulation and redemption thereof, passed June 3, 1804, claim to have converted their bank into a State banking association, under the provi sions of an act passed bv the Legislature of the State of New York, April 20, 1302, entitled "An act enabling national banking associations to become Stato banking associations," ct and that by virtue of such conversions they arc ab solved from all allegiance , and responsibility hb ii ii.iuiiiwu uiinn iu ims owie.c, ami 10 me re quirements of the act of Congress. I am of tho opinion that it is not within the power of uie Legislature ot jsew lork to alter, modify, add to, or diminish the powers, du ties or liabilities created in or conferred upon a banking association established under act ot Congress, the powers, privileges, and duties of a corporated body are wholly derived from the sovereignty which gave it existence. The Legislature of New York may undoubtedly incorporate or provide by law for the incorpora tion of banking associations in that State; but banking associations thus created are new and distinct bodies corporate, with which corpora tions deriving their existence from the L'nited States cannot be merged, or in any manner ideu- lilled, without authority ot Congress. Any law ful contract which a national 'banking associa tion might make with a private person, or with another corporation, may undoubtedly be made with a corporation established by tho State of New York for banking purposes, aud authorized by that State to enter into such a contract on the dissolution of a national banking associa tion, in the manner provided by the laws of the Lnitea Slates, lue property ot such an asso ciation may be disposed of by its owners to any other parties competent by the local law to re ceive such transier, bo tar as tho restrictions, liabilities, and duties imposed by act of Con gress upon the corporation winding up its affairs will admit. But it seems to me that it is a misuse of lan guage to say that the National Banking Associ ation is in any tense changed Into a banking corporation created by the laws of the State and merged in it, ana I can perceive no authority existing iu the Legislature of New York by which the property of the-national corporation shall, by act of law and without any conveyance or transfer, be vested and become the property oi suen state panning association. The statutes of New York city, indeed, provide for the crea tion of a corporation, clothed with tho capacity to receive a transfer of property in such manner as tho Legislature of tho State mar determine. and as far as its capacity to receive is concerned, inu .ii;ir-iiuui u oi iuai ouue iias mu control over the subject, but the creation of the capacity on mo new corporation is an entirely uitierent thing from the attempt to transfer from the na tional corporation its property. The powers and mode of action of the national corporation depend wholly upon the action of the National Legislature. I am lurtlicr ot the opinion that when a national banking association has takeu tho proper measures for its own dissolution in confoi inity with its articles of association, and under the provisions of tho act of Congress of June 3, 1804, such resolution is not complete until the necessary action has beeu taken tor the redemption of its circulating notes, either by actually redeeming them and surrendering them to the Comptroller of tho Currency, or by do positing an amount of Treasury notes with him adequate to their redemption, as provided by that net, and that until these acts arc com pleted the existence of the national banking association continues under the law; that its capital cannot bo lawfully distributed among its shareholders, or transferred to any other person or body corporate; that it remains under the supervision of tho Comptroller of the Currency in the manner aud to tho extent prescribed by act of Congress to tho same extent as before Itsliquidatiou commenced; that it is still required to make regular and proper reports and returns of its condition to the Comptroller iu tho mauuer required by the statute; that it is subject to tho penalty which the statute provides for a failure to nuko such returns; that its obligation to keep its reserve of lawful money still continues; that its directors must still be the owners of so much of its capi tal stock as the statute directs, and that it is unlawful to endanger tho lien of tho United States upon US assets ny a transier oi iiiem, ,. wi,iit other consideration than tho transform ation of a new banking association by tho .,, Bf nek holders. It follows as a con sequence that whatever reiuedics tho act of Congress gives for a violation of its provisions may be pursued by the Comptroller of the Cur rei.ev wi,Athf.! Mich a remedy is to bo found iu obtaining a decree of forfeiture and tho appoint ment of a rece iver. bv tho exaction aud collec tion of pemtRics only on Injunction, from a court of equity, to restrain acts from which loss or danger to the rights of tho United States may bo reafonably apprehended, will depend, of course, upon tho special facts of tho case, nnd upon the nature and extent of the violations ot its corporate duty, which tho national banking association, undertaking todissolve Its corporate existence and liquidate Its u flairs, may bo found to commit. 1 return herewith the papers trans mitted. 1 have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant.

Drupatch to The Kecnimf Telryraph. New Yoiik, May 20. The business session opened villi prayer by the Moderator, the usual devotional exercises' having' been held nt the Church of the Covenant in connection with the other Assembly. Before taking up the order of the day, which' was reported by the commit tee to correspond with the ollicers of the Grand Army ot the Republic, a communication wa rend from the proper ollicers of Long Island to the elici t that the decoration of soldiers' graves would take place, according to previous an nouncement, on the 30th inst., but that no de corating ceremony would take place. It con cluded with an invitation to the Assembly to attend nt Cypress Hills Cemetery. Jt was reported also troni Long Island I'rosbv- tcry that it had rejected the proposed union on the basis proposed. It was hoped bv tho pres bytery, however, that a union would lie consiun- natid on the common standard without reter- ring the subject again to presbyteries. 1 he hrst order of the day was taken up at ten o'clock. The report of the Committee on Disabled Minis ters r und was presented to the house by Jr. . 1!. Marshall, chairman. Total amount devoted to this object during tho year, including interest on permanent fund and contributions taken, was to'.i.MO, nn increase of ifli8.)0 on last year. Ol this amount, !I0(I'.I remain in the treasury. The report concluded with the loiiowing JliKvlrril, That In the constant and Increasing pros perity of tills cause the General Assembly recog nizes, hntli with t Mo approbation of the Master ami nn emphatic intimation of the churches, the duty to prosecute the scheme vigorously and sustain it uneruiiy. Jicmlrnl, That, believing Its object but, Imperfectly attained, the General Assembly earnestly reiterates the injunctions which In former years it laid umm churches and presbyteries. The report was diseused at lnrgc by Dr. Hale. Rev. Mr. Plumley, and I'ev. Theodore Strong. The importance of the subject, in view of the words "Inasmuch ns ye do it to one of these little ones, ye do it to mo." was recognized. Lev. Mr. (nmpbcll, ol Nashville, spoke of the deficiency in the salary of ministers. He said that in his vicinity there was an actual want ol the necessaries of lile. Rev. Mr. Fox added to what had been said his hearty approval and sympathy, and recom mended that a fund, in addition to the present amount of 24.000, be set apart for the object of Helping needy ministers. Discussion was interrupted bv Dr. Blackwood, who wished the order deterred for tho hearing of delegates from corresponding bodies. It was so decided, and the report will be resumed at another time.
