The show of foreign was small compared with several previous west. There was lase doing in malting samples, owing to the heaviness in the malt trade, yet prices were sup ported. Grinding and distilling sorts were rosy dull on forroer terms. The supply of malt being large, and the brewers well in stock, that description of produce was heavy, at the late de cline in value. 0 - M;4lte - illow of which was good—moved off slowly; but no change took place in their value. There was a moderate iaquiry for beam on former terms. Peas realised If oaday's quotations, with a fair demand. No alteration can be noticed is the value of either English or foreiga flmr. The trade was by no means active. The inquiry for seeds was somewhat restricted, at late rain.

AMALGAMATION OF THE LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANK WITH THE PRI VATE BANK OF MESSRS. JONES, LOYD AND CO. HALT-PAST Tw•o OVI/JCK. An announcement to the above effect has just been made in the City, and has caused coL siderable excitement, especially in the market for bank shares. The price of London and Westminster Bank shares (100!. shares, with 201. paid), which closed yesterday at 82 to 84, has risen to 110 to 120. Subjoined are the notifications issue.l respec tively by Messrs. Jones, Loyd and Co. ; and tLe London and Westminster Bank : Lothbury, London, E.C., 31st lamb, 1864. We beg to inform you that in pursuance of a wish (which we have for some time past eatertained) to retire from business, we have made arrangements with our immediate neighbours, the London sad Westminster Bank, for the transfer to them of our banking establishment. In thus entrusting to them the future management of a business which we have oolong ooaducted, we believe that we shall confide the interests of ourconstituente toss institutic n in every way capable of doing them justice, and we shall be much obliged to the friends who have kindly reposed ooni deuce in us, should they ruction the arrangement we have made by continuing with the London and Westminster Bank the business hitherto entreated to us. We cannot thus announce to you the step we have takes without thanking you for the kindness and confidence with which you have favoured as, or without expressing to you the regret wit► w►ich we contemplate the close of our mutual connexion.—We are, &c., JONES, Lora and Co. Leaden and Westminster Bank, Lothbury, Leettea, E.C., Mardi 31, WA. We have the pleasure to inform you that we have con cluded an arrangement with our next door neighbors Masers. Jones, Loyd and Co., for the transfer to this back of the., oldnetablishod banking 'business, together with their banking premises ; and that Mr. H. J. Norman will join the board of directors of this bank. The business will be cooducted is Lothbury as hereto fore, and in soliciting the favour of your accoact, we beg to aware you it will be our earliest desire to afford you every facility in the cooduct of your business In furtherance of this arrangement may we hope you will kindly sign and forward the authority on the other side.—We have the honour to remain, on behalf of the Board of the Lasko and Westminster Bank, your most obedient servants, Joni! GAARATE CATTLEY, THOHAS CaimuN, Jaadvi Dm, Dr VIVRE, BOSANT DOERS; JOSEPH &DAIL; DAVID DALoIIVTIS. At a time when the extension of joint-stock enterprise seems likely to exercise an important influence upon our monetary position the in creased demand for the shares of the financi.sl and banking companies, most of which are steadily rising, is deserving of especial notice. TLe sub stantial support which new undertakings this kind find at the hands of the public will doubtless lead to a continued influx of fresh projects. Yesterday being the last day of the quarter, a very active demand for money was experienced, and wag increased by the requirements in connection with the settlement iu the Stock Exchange. The applications at the Bank of England were heavy, and in all quarters 6 per cent. was the charge for good bills. AR soon as provision shall have been made for the mercantile engagements maturing en the 4th of April (Monday), the market will probably become easier, in anticipation of the April dividend money. About 37,000/. in gold was taken from the Bank yesterday for abroad. 100,0001. of the American eagles by the Mexican packet was also sold for exportation. The demand fur gold for the conti nent, nevertheless, was not quite so active as of late. We understand that the dividend to be declared by the Oriental Bank Corporation at their ap proaching meeting will he 3/. per share for the half-year ending 31st December last, free of income tax. This is at the rate of 24 per cent. per annum. The London Financial Association; ave introduced the Clyde Engineering and Iron Ship Building Com pany (Limited). The object of this undertaking is to purchase and extend the 0:d establisl.ed business of Messrs. Smith and Rodger, shipbuilders and engineers, of Glasgow, a locality which pos sesses great advantages for a basiness of this sort. The arrangement made for the acquisition of the concern is descrited as " very favourable :" the purchase-money is to be partly cash and partly shares. The partners of the firm join the board, which is in all respects very respectably constituted, comprising the following names— vie.: Lord Claud Hamilton, M.F. ; Admiral the Hon. Sir Montagu Stopford, K.C.B. ; Mr. John Walker (of Messrs. Walker, How, and Co.), a direc tor of the London Financial Association ; Mr. John Elfin, of Alschurch-lane ; Mr. David Smith (of Messrs.
