beld_rotirday, Mr. James Munsyßobertem and
Mr. Mk James Gilman were unwomanly elected
dirnshore, in the room of Mr. G. P. Robinson and
Kr. Thome' Stenhouse redgned. The chairman
tool:elks opportanity toilets, for the estisfaction el
the Meeting, that the failure of Maws. B. H. Cams
trod Co., of which intelligence was waved that
morning, will same only a very tailing loss to the
bank, owing to the precautions taken and the
timely warnings and orders meat same !Months since
to Bombay, where the greatest caution had been
observed, as well as at other branches. The chair-
Man also mentioned that the bank would not be
sufferers by the failure of Messrs. Lindsay and Co.
In China, nor by that of Mews. Wilson, Ritchie,
and Co., of Ceylon. They would not be affected, in
fact, by any suspensions which had taken place
since that of Buchanan, Hamilton, and Co. It is
the intention of the board to prevent hereafter re.
transfer of shares from the London to the Bombay
' register, it having been found from experience that
then facility, which in one not sanctioned by the
dead of settlement, opens a door to abuses, and
leads to speculative operations and fluctuations in
the value of the shares, which the board are
anxious to prevent as far as they can.
The dividend of le. per !hare will be payable

The stock markets are better now that the long
apprehended failure of Messrs. Came and Co., of

Fors o'CLocit.
Consols are still quoted 90} to with div., for
money, and 891 to }, ex div., for the account.
53,0001. in gold has been sent into the Bank.
The continued announcement of mercantile
failures, and the apprehension that more will take
place, seem likely to promote the accumulation of
unemployed money, by occasioning increased cau-
tion in the mercantile world, and thus limiting the
creation of bills.
We are requeated to state that the list of appli-
cations for the Consolidated Five per Cent. Peru-
vian Loan will be closed to-day (Wednesday),
at four o'clock.

can Deferred bondholders, to invite the British
bondholders to join in the formation of a committee
to effect an arrangement of this matter, and it is
proposed to ask for a liberal grant of laud in dis-
charge of the claims of the arrear certificate
holders.

land on the 7th of June, will be rupees 30,00,000

The following is a circular relating to the failure
of Mr. B. H. Cams, the eminent Parsee merchant.
of Bombay, and the only partner in the firm of
Messrs. Byramjee Cams and Son, of London and Li-
verpool. The liabilities of the two branch houses in
England are said to reach about one million ster-
ling, and those of the chief establishment at Bombay
are believed to represent a larger total. Mr. Cams
was understood some time ago to have been worth
about half a million, and to have subsequently
realiped a large sum in cotton and in shares in new
undertakings, during the prevalence of the recent
speculative mania in Bombay. A very serious de-
cline, however, has since taken place in prices, en
tailing enormous losses. The impression is. there-
fore, that the liquidation will prove unsatisfactory,
and that some of the local banks will suffer.
