Be bad been told on high banking authority is that if they made 2,000 accounts in five 'wax' they might Itt be thankful. They bad been established only four years, w . , and had made their 2,000 emanate, and possessed a _pro- 100 perky that promised to be ultimately a great success. They et. 1 bad paid 5 per cent. throughout, and notwithstanding the Ilt. severe crisis through which they had passed, a nd with the 4 2- !, banking rate at 2 per cent., they continued to d o so, . re. t and to possess public confidence.

A business of that sort, made in four years, was I ei . something to congratulate themselves upon. The sr- 1 OIL Tsii2einents for the audit were most complete, so that 1 fie they might depend upon the accuracy of the accounts, ! EIL and that everything bad or doubtful was written off. After acknowledging the efficient services of the managers, sears- I et. tart'. and staff, and referring to the usual retirement ! et of the directors and auditors, all of whom offered them- I ft selves for seolectiin, he concluded by mo v i n g the adop- 1 81. fit. tion of the report. Mr. CAPPER, M.P., seconded the motion, which was et I carried unanimously. 20 I The dividend at the rate of 5 per oent., free of income is tax, payable forthwith, was then resolved upon, and the St. retiring director' and auditors having been re-elected, the at. proceedings terminated with the aerial complimeat to the Ni.

John William Miles, of Ringsweston, brother of Sir William Miles, has cemented, at the request of the leading conser vatives of Bristol, to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of that city at the next vacancy. The members for Stockport, Mr. J. B. Smith and Mr. Within, addressed their constituents last night upon the occasion of the annual meeting of the Stockport Reform Association. Both members spoke of the suffrage for women as desirable, and were also agreed on the sub ject of education, being in favour of a compulsory system. Mr. Butler-Johnstone, 81L.P., in another letter to the Post, states his proposals as a peace-offering to Ireland. They are —a parliamentary sitting in Dublin during the recess of the imperial parliament, with the functions of legislation upon all matters of purely Irish domestic concerns ; the appointment of a prince of the royal blood as perpetual Regent, instead of lard-Liea tenant, with the title of Prince of Ireland or of Dublin ; and a universal amnesty for all past political offences. "It is my firm unswerving conviction," he say s, " that these measures, freely and genevonely offered to the Irish people, would effect that which we have hitherto foiled to effect, converting a di slo y al Into a loyal people, a discon tented nation into a happy and joyful community. It would, besides, free England's ern, which is now paralysed, and enable her to stand erect before her enemies at the gate." Mr. H. Bence Jones writes to the Times:— " I em requested by Mrs. Faraday to express, through you, her thanks to your correspondents and to the public for the interest they are disposed to take in her behalf. The whole course of her husband's life was so marked by his love of retirement that she feels most keenly the intrusion of his name even, while she cannot but be grateful for the Idealises which causes her so much pain. She wishes me to assure all those who value Mr. Faraday that the recognition that has already been made of his merits has given her more than she either requires or desired ; and she is most anxious that his name should not be need in a way which he never would have THE EXPIUMS;; /111IIRSDAY *Mgt% -iyou. ~~~ N 190 101 NI 1011 IN N II 06 97 101 106 107 101 146 107 111 107 19 98 101 1101 106 107 1111 1121 102 104 106 10 9 IN 109 108 110 - 10 - IT - Y"ID_ 100 DO. — l - 9011 al ~..i a. ..„„,,, He Do.

The report of tho London Rise Mill Company , presented yesterday, shows an available total of 20,342/. Bs. 6d., including a previous balance a 1,4441. 19s. &1., and it was agreed to appropriate 5,0001. in payment of dividend, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum ; 10,262/. 9s. 3d. to the reserve fund, which will raise its amount to ' 13,000/. ; 2,000/. to the extinction of preliminary expenses ; and 3,079% 19s. 2d. to the next account. C re d i tors of the International Hotel Company [ (Limited) are required to send the particulars of Itheir claims to Mr. Albert Gearing, one of the offi cial liquidators, by the Bth Feb., the 18th Feb. having been appointed by Vice Chancellor Melina for adjudicating upon them. The preparationsyeaterday for to-morrow's settle ment in the railway market showed that the supply of stock is still decidedly scanty,but t he pressure for lit has been less than at the last settlement. Thus the bonus for the loan of Caledonian stock, which I on the last occasion wa s 1 p er cent. or more, pester k day scarcely exceeded 4 per cent. The " bacwarda lion" on Metropolitan was likewise less than a fortnight ago, though showing some tendency to advance at the last. Lanaishire and Yorkshire and , Midland were wanted for the settlement, while Great Northern " A" and Great Eastern were more plentiful. The following shows the terms generally current: MONEY MARKET.—(THI DAY.), 1 • .1 lositiegoest o w in g to the superabundance of money, mid the absence of adverse political feature', the • • markets show an upward tendency. Console are inquired for, and are firm at the advance of yester day. :Foreign bonds and railway stocks have further improved in many cases. The dividends proposed by two or three of the principal lines are consi dered satisfactory, bearing in mind the extreme dulness of trade during the past six mouths. There is no doubt, however, that the accounts of all rail way companies will be closely investigated at the ap proaching meetings, with a view to ascertain whether the unsound financial system of the peat has been effectually stopped by the wholesome discussion of the past year. Meanwhile, the public still avoid purchasing railway shares, the advance being almost entirely caused by transactions to close spe culative accounts. The amount of business gene rally is large, although attention is still partly diverted to the fortnightly settlement, which will be completed to-morrow. The discount market remains very quiet, and quotations are without variation. There is no demand in the Stock Exchange for advances on English government securities. Consols are quoted 93g to 4 for money and the amount (6th February), and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 1 931 to Home railway stocks continue in request, and a further rise of I to per cent. has occurred in several of the principal descriptions.
