The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report
and aocouate, maid linos the last meeileg some of those
disturbing circumstances had happened which this in-
vested the proceedings with a painful interest. There bad
been no convulsions in Turkey. At Smyrna and
Galati matters had proceeded favourably, and a
branch had been established at Bucharest under favour.
able auspices. The main interest centred at that moment
is Constantinople. As regarded the Inipsovement of
Turkish finance, be could not say that much had bees so-
tinily dome, but preliminary stops had bees takes.
Is the speech of Mr. Layerd is the Home of
Oceaseries, it was matidactory to find the annousessneet of
the appointment of a responsible Samos minister. In
every mooarchical country the character of the mermage
exercised great indigence, but that was peculiarly the sane
in Turkey. The present Sultan had not dieeppoleted
the expectations formed at the maimenewesa al
hie reign. A budget had been prepared whisk showed
a determination to reduce expenditure and te Wpm
revenue by every legitimate mama. There was mete to
hope that at the eed of the next year there would be a con-
siderable surplus, mid that could not fail to modem a
beneficial effect on the position and prospects el the
bank. He then expressed regret at the retirement
Mr. Glyn from the direction, observing that
it arose solely from private causes, and that Mr. Glyn's ad-
vice was dal at the service of the beard. The board mo-
mod that the vacancies created by the resignation of Mr.
Glyn and Mr. Layanl should be supplied by Hr. Brum,
brother of Lord Elgin, and Mr. Greafell.
The motion having been seconded and carried, a dividend
of 10 per cent. was declared in accordance with the report.
The sum of 6,1031. was added to the reserve fund.
Si, W. Clay and Mr. Larking were then reelected direct.

Greaten were elected in the room of Mr. Leyard. ILP.,
and Mr. Glyn, M.P.
The auditors having also been re-elected, thanks were
voted to the Chsirmau and the other directors, and the
meeting separated.

THZ ALBERT MEMORIAL Ft:RD.—The total amount
feeeivod in aid of the memorial fund up to Saturday was
41,0001., of which about 1,7001. cams to band during the
week.

THR HAITI= COLUIET FUND. —The total
amount received in aid of the Hartley Colliery fund up to
Saturday was 20,5241., of which merly 21404 came to hand
doling the week, whereas the amount in aid of the Myrther
fund is only 40t11. There seems to be an impression in the
minds of many that a portion of the surplus of the Hartley
fund will be devoted to the aratiume of theme at Myrther;
but it is the hatch= of the committee at Hartley to make
a reserve fund foe moth exigencies of the kind ea may
in future occur in the districts of Northumberland and
Durham. A meeting of the relief committee was bald at
Newcastle no Friday, the Mayor presiding, and it was re-
=by the treasurer that the money actually received by
mounted to 54,000 f., while the entire smo which bad
been subscribed was 72,000/. By the committee appointed
for the purpose • report was submitted as to the best rues=
of disposiug of the funds, and of the amount collected; they
proposed to invest in debentures 00,01001., the interest of
which is calmlated to produce 2,5001. per annum. The re.
comnitudation of the committee was continued, sod five
gentlemen, among whom was Sir William Armstrong, Were
elected trustees, in whose names the investmente should be
made. On the question of the proposed miners' pertaassat
fund, some discussion arose, awl in the letter which were
read on the subject a general opinion was espreased Last in
the beuelita of such a movement the country at large should
participate, but considerable diversity existing ea to the pro-
priety of dealing with the matter at present, no dectsiou
was come to.
