The following report and balance-sheet were Femme : gr.
"The directors have now to present to the shareholders Be,

and Ices account of the bank for the half-year ending the is-
30th ult.. showing a net profit of 30.3501. 15.. 7d., which sat

will perceive that the net profit earned during the half-year
amounts to about 141. per cent per annum, and that the gri
reserved fund is now Increased to 80,0031. After mature to
deliberation, with a view to the fur/her extension of the 10
business of the bank, the directors have decided to issue the St
remaining 2,003 shares of the authorised capital, and to Li.'
offer them pro rata to the proprietors who shall be regia

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and 5
amounts, observed that the last half-year's business MA LI.
very satisfactory. The net earnings during that period were
at the rate of 14 per cent, per annum-e result gr.
which,
established, wandering' how recently the honk se,
ws appeared to him a very excel- HA
lent return for legitimate banking, The pro- Be

the wee every probability of its provirsg • valuable 10
auxiliary to the parent establishment. The ruing of .deli- gg
timid capital would secure a still larger amount of public ar,„
confideme. fa.
Mr. RIRRIFIRLD seconded the motion.
A SHAILIHOLDIR expressed his regret at the contemplated ek.,
increase of capital, the company having, he remarked, re.
already 100,0001. more capital than the Bank of London. 8,
After a short dismission the report was adopted, and the 86,
dividend and boons were declared. dt

Before the re-election of directors, St.
A SILUILKOLDEE wished to know whether the board were
perfectly united, as some time ago it was supposed that they "

The no
CRt LIENAZI said no body of directors could act together es,
with greater unanimity. (Cheers.) es.
The retiring directors were then unanimously re-elected. 84.
Mr. ANNUM, having relinquished the poet of auditor, ,fa
proposed Mr. John Carrie as his succea•or, and the motion t.
wee agreed to unanimously.
Mr. Owen Lewis was reelected auditor.
The proceedings terminated with votes of thanks to the 31.
directors and the auditors, the manager (Mr. White), the 11l
sub-manager (Mr. Duncan), the secretary (Zr. Worth), and ak
the other officers of the bank. ea.

From a comparative statement which wee appeeded to go
the report it appeared that the quantities of goods- leaded in ft
the docks in the first six months of 1861, 1862, Is.
and 1863, and the quantities of goods in warehouse
on the 30th of June, were ma follows :—Goods Ml*
bustled, 1861, 59,123 tons ; 1862, 64,267 tons ; 1863, att.
72617 tons ; goods in warehouse on the 30th June, 1861, go.
67,928 toes ; 1862, 59,791 tons ; 1863, 71,925 tons. The
shipping and Sooner that entered the yards during the
same periods were as follows :-1861, ships with oergoes„
244 ships, 73,548 tons ; 1862, 247 ships, 77,693 toes ; 1863,

B. I Pd I

—irectors felt great plenum in presenting such
report, mod being enabled to recommend a dividend of
per cent. It was the increase of business which bad brought
about this improvement. There was an increase of ships,
of tonnage, and of profit ; and although the profit was !
not what it ought to be, it was satisfactory that it !
exhibited any increase at aIL It was vain to expect a large !11
increase while the reduced rates continued, the result of the
reductions being a lots of 50,000/. in the dividends of the last g
six or seven years.
The report was adopted unanimously. ■
The CRATRWAN then referred to a contemplated aroalga-

matins with the London Dock Company, wiik a view to a
saving of expense and a more prodtable tracking. The
proposal of the London Dock Company wee that the basis of
amalgamation should be the market value of the
stocks of the two companies. To this the St.
Hatbarine Dock board could not agree, thinking
that the amalgamation should be based on the business
dose for a series of years. Re then referred to
statement of the chairman of the London Dock
Company that while the business of that company
had been recently increasing that of the St. Katharine
Dock Company had been slightly declining. and entered into
eististies to show that the latter part of the statement was
incorrect. He thought it best that the question of areal-
vitiation should be left in the hands of the board, who
would act with we and deliberation. He was sure it was
the wish of the proprietors that some arrangement ghoul,' he
effected by which the dock interest generally would be
besotted. (Cheers)
Mr. TAYLOR hoped the board would tales ems not to pro-
pose any amalgamation which might lead to a further
diminution is the value of the company's stock. No
amalgamation cou'd he satisfactory which did not include a
general rearrangement of rates on the part of the several
dock companies.
The CHAIRMAN observed that no final step could be taken
until the assent of the proprietors had been given at a special
meeting.

MONEY MABXII7.-(THIS DAY.)

Two °Two&
The stock markets to-day exhibit increased de-
pression, and a further general decline has taken
place. The reduction does not exceed it per
cent. in the funds, and is of only mo-
derate extent in the home railway market,
but is rather considerable in some of the more

speculative foreign stocks, including more particu-
larly Spanish Passive Greek, and Turkish Conso-
lidds. The unsatisfactory position of the Polish

question is still the chief source of uneasiness.
The course of prices on the Parisßourse is watched
with increased earnestness. _ _ _ •

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened
at 67fr. 80c., being I per cent. lower than yester-
day. The telegram states that there is "great
uneasiness" on the Bourse.

Consols are now quoted 921 to # for money, and
92# to 3 for the account • (August 6). The official
business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.
Console, for money, 921, 1; ditto for account, 92i ;
Three per Cents. Reduced, 92#, 1 ; New Three
per Cents., 92k, I, ; India Stock, 227 ; ditto Five
per Cent. Stock, 108, I, 1071 ; ditto Four per
Cent. Debentures, 1001 ; ditto Bonds, 15s. prem.;
Exchequer Bills, March, par, 3s. prem.
Foreign stocks are generally lower, and in some
cues materially so. Greek Bonds have fallen 1 per
cent., being quoted 331 to #, and Turkish Con-
solid& }, the present price being 49# to 1.
The Turkish Loans of 1864 and 1862 are
I}

per cent. worse, at 93 to and
67 to /, ex div., respectively, while the Bonds
of 1858 are steady at 70/ to 71. Spanish
Passive Bonds are severely depressed, sales
having been last effected at 311. The fall
extends to Italian and Mexican Bonds.
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian,
1852, 1858, 1860, 92/ ; Chilian Six per Cents.,
102; Danish, 1863, 901 ; Dutch Certifi-
cates, 102/ ; Egyptian, 1031 ; ditto second
bone, 104 ; Greek, for account, 331, I ; ditto,
Coupons, 151, 15, I; Italian, for account, 701, 1, ex
div. ; ditto scrip, 1 prem., ex div. ; ditto Marem-
mane Railway, 79, 1, ex div. ; Mexican, for account,
37, 361, 371, 381; New Granada Deferred, 9/;
Peruvian, 1862, for account, 861, 87, ex div. ;
Portuguese, 1853, for account, 471, ex div. ;
Russian, 1862, 93 ; Sardinian, for ac-
count, 89/ ; Spanish, for account, 54, ex div. ;
ditto Passive, for account, 33/, 1,1, a, 31/ ;
ditto Certificates, for account, 121, }, ; Turkish,
1854, for account, 931 ; ditto, 1858, for account,
70/, 1 ; ditto 1862, for account, 671, ex div.
The Confederate Loan remains heavy at 41 to 31
dis. ; Venezuelan scrip is quoted 1} to 0/ dis.
International Financial shares are dull at
to 41 prem. General Credit and Finance have de-
clined to to 1 prem. ; and London Financial to
to 11 prem.
Hudson's Bay and Egyptian Trading shares are
heavy, and have declined : the former are now
quoted to 1 dia., and the latter ato / prem.
The applications at the Bank of England Dia-
count-offioe yesterday were light, and in the general
market the terms for good bills did not exceed 31
to 31 per cent Nevertheless, a little indecision is
observable amongst discounters in consequence of
the rumour that the Bank of France has irsde
arrangements fur drawing some amount of gold
from this country.
The announcement of the mission of the Vioe-
President of the Confederate States to the Federal
government has excited a good deal of discussion.
I According to the belief of some, the Confederate
President reckoned upon holding Vicksburg and
upon defeating General Meade, and on the subse-
quent advance of the Southern forces upon
Washington would have assumed a moderate tone,
detaching the Vice-President as a peace-envoy at
the moment when the Confederate attitude would
have been most imposing. These calculations have
now been frustrated.
General Foray, the French commander-in-chief,
has just published a decree in the Mexican Mimi-
tear, prohibiting, until further notice, the exporta-
tion of gold and silver specie and bullion from the
Mexican ports under the control of the French.
The object of the French commander in this ex-
ceptional and unexpected proceeding, is stated to
bu to facilitate the provision of supplies for the
French army, and to induce the merchants and,
