The bankrupt Uri once obtained his lease after the adjudication, and had been subsequently rested. His Honour said this being so, he did not think the ems me within thediscretionary oection under which the bank pt was applying for his discharge. He must, therefore, use the application.

Mr. Denny, who supported, said that the bankrupt had ed with the opposing creditor one day, and on the next he d arrested him, after making affidavit that he was bout to leave the country. (A laugh.)

Mow Hugo, a morose-looking fellow, described as a oems ker, residing at 1, Verulamatreet. St. Andrew's, was . before Hr. Barker with committing a murderous ult on Rosanneh Jel!imam. Police-sergeant Waterfield, 12 0, produced a .ed by Mr. H. Selwood, the house surgeon of the ree Hospital, which stated that the complainant is now out-patient of the hospital, and unable to follow say .loyment, in consequence of suffering from a very severe p wound. The complainant, who seemed to be suffering severely I .m the effects of the prisoner's violence, said that the .ner was in the constant habit of besting her, and herivise ill-using her. About three weeks ago be was ked up for assaulting her. but she would not press the rge, and he was discharged. Yesterday be went home e worse for liquor, and after making use of some cry filthy epithets said he would murder the nom. lainent before the day was out. He then took up an homer° jug and threw it with great force at her. .8 jug struck her on the bead and inflicted a severe oiled which caused the blood to flow freely. Not mutant ilb this violence he followed it up by striking her, and add have otherwise illused her, had it not been for the ighhoun, who stopped the prisoner and gave him into tsdy. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that he did lot know what be was about, as be had been drinking. The emplainent was a bad lot, and ought not to have preferred the charge. The complainant said she did not wish the prisoner swished ; all she wanted was that he should be bound over D keep the peace. Mr. Barker said the assault was a very serious one, and soteeoed the prisoner to two months' hard labour in the louse of Correction. ARLIIO RO U G -STREET. UTTERING • FORGED BANK NOTE TO AN IMPLORE.

He asked e prisoner why be did not put the name on it, and be •• be never did There were two other 10/. notes which rue from Mr. Fruin,aod they were both good and bore the amen of the persons Mr. Fruin received them from. Mr. ruin had paid the prisoner 301. on the previous Monday, at the prisoner did not pay it in till last Monday, with they sum of 31t. odd received from Mr. Frain. Mr. Woollam, clerk to Mr. Betts, said he received the et of 681. 2.. 20. from the prisoner ou Monday last, and mongst the amount was the note produced. On show •g it to the prisoner he said it was good enough, and that e received it from Mr. Fruin. It was the prisoner's duty • have paid the money he received the previous Monday .0 same night. Mr. Fruin, of High-street, Acton, grocer, &c., said be Al the prisoner un Monday week three 10/. notes, and .ey all bore his name, as he made ita practice to put it on ery note he received. He was certain the note produced as never in his possession. Mr. Lewis said he should reserve the defence, and asked tiled might be taken. Mr. Tvrishitt said he must refuse the requeat. and added should .col th e p r i soner for trial for the uttering, and for embezzlement.

William Marrhent was brought before Mr. Mansfield barged with having stabbed Jeremiah John Donovan with knife. The parties are shoemakers living opposite to each other, White Lion-street, Edgware.road.

P•inage of his house, and while lying on the floor the risoner, who, with others, had rushed in, leant over him ( complainant). and with a white handled knife stabbed him in the forehead.

(A surgeon's certificate was handed to magistrate./ Harr Anne Coleman and Amelia Donovan, the former ister.ialaw and the latter daughter of complainant, de to their hawing witnessed the wounding by the risoner. ft further appeared that for some time peat the parties I had anythieg buts friendly feeling towards each other. Pne more than one occasion complaints arising out of awe( and assault had been brought under the magistrate's Lice. The prisoner strongly denied the charge, and called Wil. am Henry Ming and John (lollop, b o th o f whom swore et rasitively th a t h e ( pr i sooerl was not in the house at I at the period of th e a ffr a y, w hi c h had its origin in a ball icing been thrown by a child into the passage, and it was irther proved that the cut on the forehead wee caused by rig unintentionally in warrline•cff a blow which com ment was is the act of inflicting on him with the knife queaion.

The prisoner, in defence, mid i he was drunk yesterday, and did not know what be was about, nor did he want to see ytbing. li a r a .Woolrych —Drunkenness is no palliation of aims.

Nearly 400 parsons sat down to plain but substantial fare, served in the south wing dining-room. The chair was occupied by the Dan ish Ambassador, his Excellency Torben De Bilk, who was supported by Mr. Westeoholz, the Danish Consul ; Kr. Itimeata4. one of the most eminent members of the Danish parliament ; and Professor Hummel ; who are the leaders of the expedition ; sod many other Danish gentlemen of distinction. The chief toasts were the "Health of the King of Denmark," pro posed by the ambassador ; "Her Majesty the Queen of Eng land," by Professor Hummel; "Our Guests," by Mr. Westenholz ; and "The Danes in London," by Mr. Rime sled. 00., speaker observed, with a touch of grim burnout, that he believed there had not been so many Danes in England since the days of Canute ; but that their object was very different, and that they came as hearty friends. After dinner the party promenaded through the grounds, preceded by a few enthusiasts, who carried the old " Dan nehroc," the national flag of Denmark, high in air. Owe. siooally a halt took place and • speech was made, the cheering being of • heartiness such as is seldom met with. Patriotic Danish wogs—soup to the army and the navy— were given lustily forth ; and ere long our own " God save the Queen " was snag in swapper that very clearly showed it was no unfamiliar tune to the choristers. REMOVAL or ST. TuomAa's HOSPITAL, AND THE CHANINO-CROSS RAILWAY. —The bill now under the con sideration of Lord Redesdale, and about to be referred for inquiry to a committee of the House of Commons, is to en►ble the Lord Mayor and corporation of London and the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital to convey the site of it to the railway company, and to acquire a new site else where. Doubts having arisen as to the ability of the governors to sell the hospital, the Charing-cross Railway Company have objected that the governors are not em. powered soto do, and that as it hoe been judicially settled it is desirable that all double thereon should be dissipated and set at rest. After reciting the charter of Edward VI., and stating that the purchase•mooey for the hospital, amount ing to 296.0001., has been paid by the railway company into the Court of Chancery, the bill asks for statutory powers to uonfirm the agreement and to erect a new hospital on a new site, and to raise in addition 50,00 W. for the purposes of the act. — RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLIA HENT.—Yceterday, in the Lords, the bill for the Mid-Bent sod Addispoombe Railway was passed. The Mayor of Newport and other witnesses were examined on the West Midland Company's Bill, and Mr. Rowbotham, manager of the North British, in favour of the amalgamation of that company with the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and West of Fife. The opposition of landowners and of the inhabitants of Cheltenham is now on in the committee on the East of Gloucestershire Railway, and the promedings on the Stafford and Uttoxeter have also reached that stage. The Loudon, Chatham, and Dover Company's extensions to Deal and Dover and St. Mary's Cray, the Llanidloes and Newtown, Mid-Wales and Sfambesterland Milford, Birkenhead, Car , donian and Bristol and South Wales Union Railway Bilk were passed in Lord Redesdale's committee. In the Com mons, the case in promotion of the Ellesmere and Oswestry lines was concluded; and the opposition of Lord Browalow was opened in evidence. THE LIVERPOOL SCHOOL FRIGATE CONWAY.—The school frigate Conway, which has now beau established for three years in the Mersey, under the direction and manage ment of the Local Mercantile Marisa) Association, has beers so successful that the average number of boys in attendance now exceeds 100. The design of the institution is to train and educate, at a moderate cost, respectable boys for officers in the merchant navy, and to infuse an elevated spirit into that branch of commerce by the introduction of officers who shall not only be thorough sailors, but have the feelings and habits of gentlemen. Yesterday the annual distribution of prizes took place on the deck of the Conway, Sir John Pakington making the awards. A large number of distinguished strangers and others had been in vited to attend, including the Earl of Shrews bury, the Right Houourahle Mr. Corry, Captain Sir John D. Hay. R.N.. the Hon. Captain Talbot, R.N., Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, M.P., Admiral Evans (govern. ment conservator of the Mersey), Mr. T. B. Borstal, M.P., Mr. John Laird, M.P., kat. There were also present some of the leading shipowners and merchants connected with the port, and a large somber of ladies. The Conway Boys. in their smart naval uniforms, were drawn up " two deep" on the deck, and their healthy sod sailorlike appearance and trim were remarked upon with pleasure by all. The prizes, which consisted of 'maks, nautical instruments, ke. , were awarded for proficiency in seamanship, mathematics, nautical astronomy, and the use of nautical instruments; while the association presented a gold medal to the youth who manifested the greatest general profiviency in all the departments of training sod education conducted on board the school frigate. DEPARTURE OF TEI GREAT EASTERN FOR NEW YORK.—The Groat. Eastern yesterday left Liverpool for New York with a large number of passengers and about 1.18)0 tons of fine goods. A great number of people ma'am bled on the lauding stages and elsewhere to witness her de- partiire. The Great Estero is likely to absorb a very large ' aniouut of the passenger traffic between Liverpool and Amerika. The directors have adopted the return ticket I system. and this advantage, coupled with the superior ac- commodation afforded on this gigantic vessel, are already beginning to rep" the trade of the other transatlantic I boats, and numbers of people who have formerly been in the habit of pitronisiug other steamers take berths in the great ship. THE LATE CHARGE OF WIFE-POISONINO AT KIHOHTSBRIDGE.—A public meeting took place at the Duke of Wellington's Riding-school, Knightsbridge, last evening, to coosiderthe propriety of expreesiol public sympathy with Mr. Phillips, the extensive horse-dealer at Knightsbridge, and iodiguatiou at the charge lately brought against bim, of poisoning his wife. The Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Gough house, Chelsea, presided. The reverend chairman opened the proceedings by reading letters apologising for unavoid. able absence of the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Ernest Bruce, and other distioguiebed persons, and exerted's of their sympathy and entire concurrence with the object of • the meeting. The following resolu.ion was unanimously adopted :—" That thi s meeting, consisting of the frien& and neighbours of Mr. Henry Richard Phillips, desirous of expressing their feeling of indignation at the recent unjust and grooodlees charges brow-lit against him, takes this opportunity of showing the deep sympathy they have felt for him io his distressiag position, and their extreme grata fication that on a full investigation of the case before the coroner, at Kemal-green, June t 3, 1862, it was declared by that officer and the fury, that there was no foundation whatever for these charges."

Mr. BERlf.ELEl o inovea the second reading of this bill. Hs found himself in an awkward position in being, for the first time, called upon to ask the house to read the till • seeped time. It was not his fault that he was salted to do no now, for he was aware that there was • majority of 437 members, who, at one time or another, had recorded ' their votes against the measure, while there wee only 330 who had voted in its favour. He had therefore very little hope of carrying it, unless the people out of doors came forward and expressed their opinion unmistakably in its favour. After referriog to the attempt to count him out on the last occasion, and observ ing that the gentlemen had never been so met before, he said that as regarded argument, the advocates of the b a llot stood perfectly triumphant, but there was a load of dust and cobwebs which was all times ended ' voured to be thrown over the question ' a part of the press taking the lead. As an instance the Teats stated that Mr. Beticely could only assemble 80 members when be brought on his bill, while the editor of that paper had in his hands at the time a list of 112 pairs. He would endeavour to place before the house the exact position of the ballot. He had in his band • table of statistics of the electoral bodies of England, the area, the re ! presentation, the population, &c. He fist took the metropolis, returning eighteen members. The City of Londo n returned four members ; Westminster, two member; Tower Herniate, two members ; Lambeth, two members; Southwark, two members; Finsbury, . two members • all of whom had voted for the ballot. Manc hester, Birmingham, Salford, Ply ; mouth, Bradford, Glasgow, the Wart Riding, and other great constituencies, including Brighton and Gloucester, returned members who were likewise supporters of the ballot. The result of these returns was, , that the places he enumerated, containing 8,014,000 Inha bitants and 2"03,246 registered electors, return :d I forty-one members all strong supporters of the ballot. He was asked why he brought forward the question now, when there was a general apathy on the subject of reform, and when the most earnest reformers were silent on the subject. He held that, being sent to the house, as they were to make wholesome laws and remove unwholesome abuses, it was • satire to regard them as a mere maccaroni bound by party and having no will of their own. Indi vidually, as far as be was concerned, he would endeavour to do his duty. He did not wish to make any alteration in the electoral code, all he desired to do was to carry out that code in its inte grity and to enable those electors who were qualified to vote to exercise their votes freely. He was at • toes to see what there was revolutionary in this, yet they were always met with the word. " revo lution," whenever the question of the ballot was mooted. The same class of argument had been urged against the repeal of the corn laws, yet behad lived to see the strongest opponents of the corn law repeal the most strenuous free traders. They were told thatjthe ballot had failed in the great republic of America, and with it equal electoral districts, annual parliaments, and all the rest Because our American brethren bad fallen into a civil war republican in stitutions had fallen to • diecount. What, was civil war to be a test of constitution ? If so, what became of monarchy in this country, which had had three civil wan in 230 years? If so, what was to become of monarchy in Italy, where a man with • red shirt had driven out an army with • monarch at their head. Monarchy was not at • discount because civil war hal driven monarchies from their thrones; on the contrary, we all knew that under such • monarch as we had the hap piness to possess monarchy was the safeguard of political liberty. He denied that the ballot was • part of republican institutions. It wait only a barrier against aris tocracy, moneyocracy, or any other " orrery " which ioterferred with the free exercise of the electoral right. He contended that the action of the ballot in America was distinctly and decidedly conservative, and opposed to universal suffrage. Universal suffrage reduced democracy to a mobocracy—and how did a mobocracy act? By the mob law—the bowie knife and the tar barrel. But the ballot gave protection to the man of good feeling against this tyranny. America afforded a good illustration of the difference between the ballot and open voting. In Ver. ginia there were a number of old families who boasted of English descent, and were food of adhering to English institutions and habits. They adhered to open voting, their opinion being much the same as Lord Derby's, that secret voting was political cowardice. They said, let us see how every man votes, for if be does not vote as we'wish we will streightway tar and feather him. ("Hear, hear," and laughter from the liberal benches.) But was there no simi larity between the state of things in Virginia and the state of things in England? If there were no social slaves were there no political slaves? They did not flog, but the land owners hesitated Dot to turn front their homes those who voted against their landlords' views. This he knew took plane amongst the landocnscy, sod be believed the same thing took place amongst the millocracy. (Hear, hear.) He called the attention of hon. gentlemen of conservative principles to the evidence taken before Mr. Grote's com mittee, showing that if the ballot existed conservatives would be returned where now liberals were elected. Sir G. Grey, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Lysley opposed the motion ; Mr. Pot... supported it. The house then divided: For the second reading Against it 2ll Majority —B5 The bill was accordingly lest. [Left mittieg.] COLONIAL BANK.-(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the proprie tors was held this day at the Loudon Tavern, Biahopegate street, Mr. CH•111.6.4 MARBTAIT presiding. The Swan/air (Mr. C. A. Calvert), read the following report:—" In compliance with the provisions of the charter the directors lay before the proprietors the customary state ment of the debts and areets of the corporation, which on this occasion has been made up to the 31st December, 1861, and comprises the net profit of the hairiest ending that period. Debts : Circulation, 280,8011. 17s. 6d. ; deposits, bills payable, and other liabilities, 1,510,4541. la. 10d. ; paid-up capital, 503,0001. ; reserved fund, 101,930/. lls. 3d. ; net profit, 37,2631. 7s. 64. ; total, 2,430,4531. 18 s . Id. Assets : Specie, 278,6161. 12‘. 6d. ; due to the bank in the colonies, on bills discounted and purchased, including those past due, lac., 1,271,091 i /. 7s. 9d. ; due t o th e b an k n the colonies, on current accounts, 11,3841. 17s. 3d. ; due to the bank in Loodon, on bills remitted, cash at bankers, 859,4371. 17s. 9d. ; bank premises and furniture, in London and the colonies, 9,921/. 2s. 10d.-2,430,453/. 18s. Id. Considering the favourable character of the above state. men; the directors feel warranted in proposing a further increase of the dividend, and they, therefore, moral:nand that out of the net profit which, after providing for income tax and all bad and doubtful debts, amounts to 37,265!. Ti. 6d., a dividend be made of 6 per nest. for the haltiest ending the 31st of De cember, 1861, being at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum on the paid up capital of the corporation. This dividend will require 30,000/. leaving a balance of 7,265/. Is. 6d. to be added to the reserve fund, which will then amount to 1093954 18s. 9d. The directors are happy to add that at the latest date from the branches the transactions of the bank were going on steadily and satisfactorily, but in consequence of the depressed state of the market for all descriptions of colonial produce, and the continuance of the civil war in the United States, they have thought proper to instruct the branch managers to be exceedingly cautious in their operations, and this may have the effect of temporarily lessening the business of the bank." The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which, he bad no doubt, would be received with satisfaction by the shareholders, showing as it did a profit which enabled them not only to increase the dividend, but at the name time to ha: ease the reserve fund. Up to this time the business of the bank was showing a steady and sa tisfactory progress; bat there was a shady as well as a sunny side to the present report. The directors had felt it necessary tonsil their attention to the fact that the present state of the sugar market and of colonial produce generally was such that it might probably lead to a limitation of their business. There was no doubt of the fact that the present price of sugar was less than it could be profitably produced at in Jamaica, and the greatest caution was required on the part of the managers of the bank to prevent loss. They must expect that tbn enact of additional caution must be to diminish their deposit sad current accounts, but possibly these unfavourable circumstances might pass away without in any way injunog them. The question of the emancipation of the slaves in America, and the effect that such a measure might have ore Cuba, coupled with the recent convention with the United States for the suppression of the slave trade, were moat important points in their favour. The free competition of the'slave labour of Cuba with free labour in the sugar market had been causing great distress io our West India colonies. In 1855 the highest amount of sugar mint by Cuba to this country was 40.000 tons, sad now she sent upwards of 100,000 tons in unfair comps. tition with those colonies which prided themselves upon having emancipated the trade. A HHARNMOLDER wanted to know whether the bank had suffered at all from the fire. The CHAIRMAN said some of their customers bad had pro perty damaged by it, but they were well able to meet the loss, and he did not think the bank had lost anything by it. Another SHAREHOLDER expressed his perfect esti/faction with the progress of the bank and his entire concurrence in the remarks of the chairman with regard to the competition of slave labour and free labour. He was of opinion that if some pressure were used on behalf of the West Indian oolooks, in which this book was so largely interested, they might get some concession made in favour of free labour produce, to the exclusion of slave produce. He knew that when the large differential duty existed, Cuba was on the brink of ruin from the price that sugar was being sold at. It was offered there at Bs. and 9s. a cwt., and that was considered so unprofitable a price that it was expected half the planters would be ruined, Font uncoil es this country thought fit to admit slave produce in competition with free produce they not only gave a stimulus to the slave trade, COMMERCIAL AND MARKET& MARK-LANG.-(THIS DAY.) The state of the weather has altered very little since oar errport. The wind to-day is westerly, with a strong bre The English wheat and flour supply this week is ex tremely contracted.

We select reports from some of the most imps tent plantations. Maidstone.—Although the nighta have been unseasonable, the bine has taken • start during the past week. There is no appearance of fly, and with favour able weather there is every prospect of a good crop. Fern ham, A 'too, and Country Districts.—After • very untoward March and April our plantations came out very vigorously, presenting • most luxuriant appearance, and free from blight—pot only of their natural enemy, the fly, but of the unnatural one of the exciseman. Since that they have re ceived a check owing to the cold, wet, and windy weather ; but as it is DOW more genial, they are rapidly recovering from its e ff ects. It would be idle to speak of the future, as everything will depend upon the tempensture for the next two months. Worcester.—The Worcester Herald says : "Our plantation accounts are of an unfavourable character ; the bine is growing very slowly, and the blight rather on the increase than otherwise consequently the prospect of an average crop in this district is not very promising. LORD PEMBROKE'S SALL—Monday being ap pointed for disposing of the deceased nobleman's pictures, the rooms were crowded with amateurs long before IL Facribe, the auctioneer, took his seat at the rostrum. The pictures, forty in number, were all by the French masters of the 17th and 18th centuries, sod the prices given were high. Indeed, to judge by the warm competition which took place for several, it must be affirmed that the French school is in great favour at Paris :--" The Party in a Park," by Pater, brought 3,1501 r. ; " Country Amusement," by the same, • large composition with several fives', 13,700 fr.; " The Repose," companion picture to ibexes. ceiling, by the same, 12,600 fr.; "The Sleep of Diana, by Vaaloo, 3,2001 r.; " Venus and Cupid," • urge picture by Boucher. admirably painted, 4.0101 r.; " Portraits of • Lady and her Sno," by Nattier, 4,140 fr.; " Halt at a Fountain," attributed to Lancret. 3,200 fr.; "lance in the Country," by the same, 4,300 b; "The Little Flower Girl," and " The Little Bird's-nest Taker," two single figures of • girl end a boy, by Drouain, 5,470 fr. ; " Pastoral Scene," by Boucher, a large picture. remarkable for the harmony of its colouring, 5,200 fr. ; "A Girl's Head." by Grease, 6,750 fr. ; " Portrait of a Lady," by Mdme. Vigtte- Lebrun, a charming picture of • large sine, something is the style of Sir Joshua Reynolds, 2,200(r., worth more certainly ; " Assemblage in • Park," by Pater, a large oom position, with a great number of figures, 30,800 fr. ; "A Dance in the Country," of about the same size es the pre. ceding, and nerving ea • companion to it, but painted by Lament. 35.700 fr. The whole proceeds of the day's sale were 187,700fr.—Ortfipi ! ani. SALMON RIVER MINES. —Millen do not count gold Isere by dollars and cent; but by pounds. IN malty claims they have taken out from five to seventy pounds per day to the rocker. A large share of this country is much like the Oro Fiao district, the stripping deep, and difficult to find the lend, and is quite irregular in its yield. Some owning rich claims tell me that their pay has been from one hundred and sixty to nine hundred dollars per day to the rocker, and others have paid double that amount to the mime laboar.—Orepat Tinto.

ST pl W 4- 3 MONEY MARKET.-(71118 DAY.) Two o'Cwoi. The stock markets present no feature of much interest to-day, business being still upon a quiet scale. The funds, however, have improved to the extent of k per cent. A fall in Spanish Certificates and in South Eastern Railway stock form■ the principal movement in prices. Turkish Loan scrip is quoted 1 to 1 prem., ex div. ; ditto paid-up, 68h to;, ex div. ; Egyptian, 3 to 3} prem. ; and Russian, I to f die. Consols are officially marked 911, 1, and /, ex div., for money, and 911, ex div., for the account. The present quotations are re►pectively 911 to 1, and 911 to 92. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cents. Reduced, 911, f ; New Three per Cents., 911, 1, I ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1081,; ; ditto Bonds, 18s. prem. ; Four per Cent. " aniseed " rupee paper, 91i ; ditto Five-and•a-Half per Cents., 1001 ; Ex chequer Bills, Bs. prom. The transactions in the foreign stock market have been to a moderate extent. Equador Bonds have adv►nced. Italian Five par Cants. are more enquired for, and Mexican Bonds quiet. The prin cipal fluctuations have again been in Spanish Certificates, which, after being marked 101, have been last sold at 9i. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 95 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 644 ex div. (exchange 126.) ; Equador New Consolidated, 171, 4, 184; Egyptian Seven per Cents., scrip, 31, 3,4, prem. ; ditto paid-up scrip, 854; French Three per Cent. Renter, 68fr.(exchange 25fr.) ; Italian Five per Cents., 691, 704, ex div. ; ditto hfaremmana Railway scrip, 1 dis. ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 281 ; Rus sian Five per Ceuta., 1862, scrip, ; ditto paid-up scrip, 911 ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account, 534 ; do. Passive,l94 ; the Committee's Certificates, 101, 1, 9 4 ; Turkish Six per Conte, 1868, for account, 701 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1862, scrip, 1, 01 prem., ex div. ; ditto paid-up scrip, 681, 1, 1,1, ex div. ; Venezuela Three per Ceuta., 234. . _ Notwithstanding the low value of money, specu lative purchases of Consols are restrained by the apprehension that the monthly settlement neat week will show a rather full supply of stock, indications of a similar nature having been presented at the last settlement. Whether the supply of stock comes from thesavings banks, or is merely the effect of the desire on the part of holders for securiti yielding a higher' rate of interest, is not clear, but it seems certain that the balance of bond fide trans actions latterly has been on the side of sales. It remains to be seen whether the reinvestment of the July dividends will place the market on a stronger basis. An instalment of 10 per cent. fell due yesterday on the Turkish Loan for 8,000,000 E stock, less this half-yearly dividend, at the rate of 3 per cent., and the amount previously paid in fulL Payment "in full" was made yesterday ou the loan to the extent of 118,0001. cash. Messrs. Baring Brothers have announced the dividends on Buenos Ayres 6 and 3 per cent. bonds, together with the particulars of the redemp tion fund in each case. _ _ . A meeting of holden of Equador Bonds is con vened by the committee for Monday next. The amount of gold taken to the Bank yesterday was 15,0001., making 400,000/. since the last re turn. The arrival was announced yesterday of the Dover Castle, from Melbourne, with 184,5001., and the Agincourt with 125,0001, making together 3095001. The mail steamer Atrato, which will leave for the West Indies to-day, will take 18,0001. in gold, and 3,9001. in silver.
