Whim the dlsestors met the shareholders is January last they reoammeaded a dividend at the rate of 6 per oast. per annum, sad • said they anticipated increased encases. Very diortly after Mr. P. C. Rani and other infieeatial gentlemen Mood the bank and the shares immediately rose six or seven per neat. Other secessions of the same kind followed, and by the 3rd of April the shares reached a premium of 201. This showed that the directors did right in making these additions. The deposits rose from 600,0801. in Decem ber to 1,017,0001. at the end of June, and the gross profit of the last half-year were 35,0001. against 16,0001, in the previous half-year. (Cheers.) The beak was simply a London me—they had no branches—and having gone on padually increasing, he believed it would continue to progress. (Cheers.) The directors intended to be cautious in their operations and to take care that the business was dose as securely as possible, but with the amistanos of the shareholders in obtaining new customers they would no doubt be able to make the beak one of the Ina busking concerns in the metropolis. Mt. HALL seconded the motion, which was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 8 percent. per annum having been declared, the meeting terminated with votes of thanks to the directors, the manager Mr. Boutham, the assistant mower Mr. Brows, and the chairman. MERCHANT BANKING COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.) To-day the first ordinary general meeting of this company we. held et the I.oedoe Tavern, Yr. JOHN PATIRSON in the chair. _ . The Caaraaaa stated that the purchase of the bugloss, of Masers. H. and J. Johneoe, the merchant beakers of ()mama-street, had proved most satisfactory, for it would net have cost myth* like three years' marclusee and it would certainly give twice the usual calculation of 10 or 12 per cent. on the mosey invested. There were no figures to present, the amounts in these criocems heisg clonal annually, but the directors were justified in declarim for the six mosthe the business had been in operation an interim dividend at the rate of 10 par met. per annum, the actual profits liming reached 20 per cent. (Cheers.) In the first year of working they hoped to write off the whole of the preliminary exposer ; the amalgamation amount would be extinguished in half the time allowed by the trust deed ; sod they anti cipated being able to carry over 8,0001. or 10,0001. out of the profits to form the nucleus of a good reserve fund. The whole of the directors who retired in accordance with the deed of settlement were re-elected ; the dividend was declared at the rate of 10 per emit. per annum free of income tax ; and a vote of thanks wars accorded to the directors.

Two o'CWoi. Great dulness continues to prevail in the stock markets, the general tone of which is rather flat. In some cases prices have slightly receded. Consols have declined about 1 per cent. As regards moat other securities, however, the reduction in prices is unimportant. The demand for money is rather brisker to-day, and there is an unwillingness to take good three months' bills below 6 per cent. In the Stock Exchange the rate for short loans on English government securities is 41 to 5 per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. !tante' opened at 66fr. 30c., being sc. better than yesterday. Consols are quoted 901 to 1 for money, and 901 to 3 for the account (August 9). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 901, 1 ; ditto for account, 903, 1 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 891, 3 ; New Three per Cents., 89/, i ; Bank Stock, 240 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 106, 1041 ; Four per Cent.

The foreign stock market is dull, and rather flat in character, but the reduction in the prices of the speculative stocks does not exceed 1 per cent, and is not genera/.

About 30,0001. in bar gold and 25,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for ex portation. The former,will be sent to the continent and the latter to Brazil. The City of London has arrived from New York with 87,5001. in specie, which will be sent to the continent, the demand for that quarter continuing strong. The bidding% for 30.00.000 rupees (300,0001) in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were—to Cal cutta, 17.10.000 rupees ; to Bombay, 12.00.000 rupees ; and to Madras, 90.000 rupees. The minimum price was as before , viz. ' Is. Md. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras , and Is. 110. on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to 180 lam (1,800,00 W.). Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at is. 110. will receive about 18 per cent. ;on Bombay at 25., about 85 per cent.; and all above those prices in fulL On the last occasion the applications within the limits amounted to 1,710,0001. It is officially announced that the East of Eng land Bank—a joint stock bank, with unlimited liability—whose head office is at Norwich, has stopped payment, but it is believed the liabilities are not very heavy, and that, cm nig to the large wealth of some of the shareholders, the depositors and other creditors will eventually receive 20s. in the pound. The manager of the bank died about six weeks ago, after being connected with it for a period of twenty years, and attempts were subse quently made to merge the undertaking into the Provincial Banking Corporation, which has recently been established. The negotiations being none oeseful, some of the depoeitore commenced with drawing their accounts, and this led to a general " run upon the bank ; hence the determination to close the doors yesterday, with a view to prevent any unfair preference. The bank was established in 1835, with a paid up capital of 100,0001., and an authorised note issue of 25,0251. It has either nine or eleven branches. The London and Westminster Bank are its Londonents. Messrs. Harding, Pulleiu, Whinney, and Gibbons are preparing • statement of affairs to be submitted to meetings of creditors and shareholders. All who wish to see the abuses which occasionally creep into the formation of joint stock companies checked, and new undertakings rendered more strictly amenable to the jurisdiction of that court without appeal—the Stock Exchange—will be glad to learn that the Stock Exchange Committee have unanimously confirmed the following resolution, which was carried without a dissentient on the 18th inst. : . . Resolution :—" That no company shall be ad mitted to quotation in the official list rules a member of the Stock Exchange be authorised by such company to give the committee full informa tion as to the formation and the bona tides of the undertaking, the applications for and the distribu tion or allotment of shares, and every other parti cular that the committee may require." This reso lution forms henceforward a part of the law of the Stock Exchange. Its object evi dently is to impose a salutary check upon the present growing system of forming companies by means of an organisation of capitalists or pro mown, in contradistinction to bona fide subscrip tions by the public. There have been several instances of late in which powerful combinations have made use of the Stock Exchange for the A new undertaking is announced under the title of the Express Penny Parcels Delivery Company (Limited). The prospectus recites th►t, a want being experienced of a medium for the transmis sion and delivery of parcels in the metropolis with regularity and despatch, and at reasonable rates, this company proposes to convey parcels at the uniform rate of one penny for each parcel under 71b., and twopence under 141 b., and to have " an hourly delivery during the ordinary business hours of the day." The arrangements are to be specially adapted to the requirements of the whole sale houses and tradesmen, both in the West-end and the City, with a view to obviate the necessity of their keeping carts of their own. The registration of parcels for an additional fee of one penny is like wise contemplated. The capital is 50,0001., in 5,000 shares of 101. each, with a fast issue of 2,500 shares. _ . . .
