The bar silver by the West India packet was sold
yesterday for India at se. lid. per ounce, being }d.
above the price obtained for the previous su y,
and id. above that current in the interval. ere
is rather more demand for silver for Bombay.
A rather peculiar point was decided yesterday in
the Bankruptcy Court with regard to the personal
liabilities of official assignees. It would appear that
the only modes in which money may be remitted
from the country to such functionaries is by Post-
office order, or, where the sums are small, by
postage stamps. The representatives of a deceased
official assignee have been ordered to make good a
sum of 2641., lost in transmission to him through
the post by a draft on a banker, of which possession
was fraudulently obtained by other parties.
A new joint stock bank is announced this even-
ing, under the title of the lJnion Bank of Ireland
(Limited.) It is intended to supply additional
banking accommodation in Dublin and throughout
the chief cities and towns in Ireland. The head
office and seat of management will be in London.
It is pointed out that as much as a quarter of a cen-
tury has elapsed since any new bank was established
in Ireland, notwithstanding the steady extension of
trade in that country, the enhanced value of land,
and the advance of the community in prosperity.
A list is given of six of the leading joint stock
banks in Ireland, whose dividends range from 11
to 20 per cent. per annum, and the premium on
their shares from 106 to 250 per cent. All the
ordinary kinds of banking business are to be con-
ducted. The board of direction includes a number
of respectable names practically connected with
commerce. Mr. John Manning, the secretary,
was upwards of 23 years in the house of Dimsdale,
Drewett, Fowler and Co., and has had much
banking experience. The capital is 1,000,0001.
(subject to increase), in shares of 1001. each, but it
is intended to take advantage of the provisions of
the new bill for reducing the nominal amount of
shares in banks as soon as it becomes law.
A call of 21. 10s., making 101. paid, is to be paid
on the Metropolitan Extension Capital of the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company
