BOMBAY, AuGra: 9.

At the annual meeting of the shareholders of
the Bank of Bombay, the directors reported an
additional loss of 530,000/. of the bank's capital,
leaving 510,1001. intact. A resolution was
adopted praying the government to appoint a
commission to inquire into the mismanage-
ment of the bank. The Poonah branch of
the Bank of Bombay expected to lose between
20,000/. and 30,0001., principally on forced go-
vernment securities. The amalgamation of the
Banks of Bombay and Bengal has been abandoned,
although applications for over 1,500 shares have
been registered.
The Marine Court have inquired into the loss of
the Jersah, and the captain and officers have been
exonerated from blame.

The ship Merchant Prince, from Glasgow to
Bombay, was ashore near Bombay harbour, and
was expected to become a total wreck. The
Governor of Bombay had decided to present a gold
watch, with a suitable inscription, to Mr. Shuttle-
worth for gallant conduct at the wreck of the
Jersah.

The public at Bombay have also subscribed
4001. to the Shuttleworth testimonial.

THE PROPOSED VISIT OP MR. DICKENS TO THE
UNITED Sraemi.—The American public will learn with
pleasure that their favourite among novelists and humour-
ing is about to renew in their ears the familiar but nn-
wearying entertainments to which he has accustomed their
eyes. Mr. Dickens' agent, Mr. Dolby, ha. arrived in New
York, to make arrangements for public readings of the
character which have given so much satisfaction in the
highest circles of his native country. Naturally, the
readings may be expected to follow at an early date
in the fall, and it is needless to say that Mr. Dickens
will meet at once with • pecuniary success and a
personal reception both flattering and friendly. It
is said that same uncertainty has been felt of •
kindly reception to the author of " American Notes" in
America. The doubt is an absurdity, as great perhaps as
any of the usual misconceptions of American character
exhibited by our distinguished foreign visitors. The
American mind is not provincial, and has no small room
for petty grudges. As a whole, its measurements and its
sympathies, so far as they are in common to so large a
people, are necessarily large, and adapted to the estima-
tion of great men in their great qualities, neglecting the
account of their peccadilloes. We have really forgotten
all about " American Notes," while we are thankful to
Mr. Dickens for giving us so much that we can remember
and enjoy for ever. He will meet with • different recep-
tion from that which he formerly experienced, not from
any change in our cordiality towards himself, except as it
has grown and deepened, but from the marked expansion,
in every sense, which twenty years cannot peas without
developing to the most careless eye in a people like ours.
Positively, Mr. Dickens will find himself a greater man
here than before ; relatively, much less ; and yet by so
much the more truly honoured in our self-respecting tribute
to his talents and worth, and our indifference to things
that were trivial in him, and much more trifles to us.—
