The prospectuses of two large undertakings have been issued under the auspices of the London Finan cial Association. The capital of the British and Californian Banking Company (Limited) is fixed at 3,000,0001. in 40,000 shares of 501 each, with a first issue of 20,000 shares. This project proposes to take up ground which has not yet been occupied by any English ioint-stock bank. The field is large, and the board is composed of gentle men of position, the majority of whom have had I much banking experience. The second undertaking above referred to is the South Eastern Banking Company (Limited). The basis of this project is an amalgamation with an old established bank and its branches, whereby it is proposed to carry out a broad scheme for affording increased banking facilities to the South Eastern counties of Surrey, Hampshire, Kent, and Sussex. No new bank has been formed in these districts since 1839, when the London and County Beak was established. The business of the new company is of course to be of the usual character.

The character of the dealings in the shares of the Australian and Eastern Navigation Company continues to attract much attention, and it is stated that the Stock Exchange Committee will be applied to to withhold the usual "buying-in day" against sellers failing to deliver shares. A dividend of 2f. be. per share (less exchange) is Dow payable to the shareholders of the Melbourne sad Hobeon's Bay Railway on the English register. The inundations at Melbourne bad suspended the traffic for about four days, but it is now resumed, and it is estimated that about 1,0001. will cover the damage done to the company's property.
