ORIENTAL BANK CORPOR4TION.-(TUIS DAY.)

A general meeting of the shareholders in this
undertaking was held at their office' Throadneedle•street,
this day, Mr. H. G. Column in the chair.
The CitatnnAN said, at this period of the financial year
the directors did not submit a report, bat it would be sa-
tisfactory that a statement should be made.
Mr. C. J. sTuAirr, the chief manager, then read a state-
ment and balsace.sheet for the year ending June 29, from
which it appeared that the liabilities to the public were
15,574,970/.. and that the assets were 1,7 m9,530r., and
that the balance of profit and loss after defraying all cur-
rent charges for the half-year was 98,0101.
. .

The CHAII:MAN said the bank maintained its position.
The lasses spoken of last year had turned out less than an-
ticipated, and this year they had been insignificant. Their
loss by the failure of the Royal Bank at Liver 00l was very
little indeed. It would be remembered that at the last
meeting it was stated that the usanee on bills
had been reduced from six months to four. He was sorry
to say that three of the banks had receded from this
arrangement, and of course this bank could not fluvia-
-1 twin it against them. Nevertheless in substance the
arrangement would be reverted to and the six months
=linos maintained. He moved that • dividend for the
half-year of :10s. per share be dechred, which was equiva-
lent to 6 per cent., or 12 per cent. per annum, free of in-
come tax.

The motion wee agreed to, and a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors concluded the proceedings.

Mr. Hardy has declined to comply with a memo-
rial forwarded to him by Mr. W. P. Roberts, Mr. Ernest
Jones, and Mr. Cottingham, praying for a postponement
of tho trial of the men who are charged with having been
concerned in the Hyde-road outrage, Manchester.
The Roman catholic prelates of Ireland have
again assembled in Dublin, " for the transaction of im-
portant business," the Freeman's Journal informs us.
The meeting probably has reference to the Catholic l'ni-
versity, the session of which institution was opened yester-
day.

Constantinople journals of the 16th contain a
long proclamation from Nen Puha, the Grand Vizir, to
the Cretans, extolling the clemency and magnanimity of
the Sultan, and informing the inhabitants of the island
that his Majesty does not intend to confine his kind offices
to the general amnesty already accorded, but has sent to
them the writer to lay the basis of a new administrative
organisation. Stich persons as do not think fit to avail
themselves of the favour of the Sultan may quit the island
within a given time ; but the others arc called on to elect
representatives with full powers—one half Mussultnans
and the other Christian—to concert with the Grand-Vizir
on the measures to be adopted.

A Natal paper states that Colonel Towers and
Captain Chaplin. of the Coldstream Guards, have returned
from a hunting tour in the Zulu country, where they
bagged 120 hippopotami, 2.1 rhinoceroses, 5 lions, 12 buf-
faloes, besides a great many antelopes and other small deer.

A skeleton was dug up a few days ago under the
floor of a schoolhouse in Ballymena. It is supposed to
hate been that of a female who was decoyed into the
house and murdered more than :10 years ago by a school-
master who has since died. She left her home, and never
was heard of afterwards, and it was remarked by the
pupils in the school that the desks bad been displaced and
the floor disturbed, but no suspicion was excited at the
time.

A SVENE AT SANTE:4.—On Monday last the
clergy, the pious confraternities, and other friends of the
temporal power of the Pope, accompanied to the railway
station several recruits who were going to join the Ponti-
fical Zouaves. At the moment of starting the clerical
party raised a shout of " Vire le Pape•roi." Some young
men who were attracted by curiosity to the spot
at once raised • counter cry of " Vice Garibaldi!"
The Pharr dr la Loirr, from which we glean the above par-
ticulars, adds : " From the moment these adverse cries
were raised, Papalini andGaribaldians engaged in • curious
battle of applause' and biases, of acclamations and male-
dictions. In point of numbers the clericals had the advan-
tage, but in strength of conviction they were inferior. The
aerials shouted 'A bac Garibaldi.' A young vicar cried,
'A In porte les heretiques,' but happily this acclamation was
not responded to. The excitement was great, hearty
laughter on one side and irritation on the other. At one
time it was feared that both parties would come to blows,
but happily they confined themselves to such amenities as
we need not report. In short, yesterday evening was very
amusing. The most heterogeneous cries were heard. One
priest shouted Viva Marie, concue sans peche ; another
cried • bas les libres penseurs,' whilst a third roared '
bas lea fans-masons.' The spectators hereupon began to
laugh. If this was announced as • spectacle the whole
population' (adds the journal) ' world like to be present.'"
An old Dutch farmer in the Queenstown district,
it is said, is about to wind-up his estate and portion it
among his children, in the belief that he has not long to
live. Re is a retie of the good old times, when the
stocking and not the bank was the " centre of gravity."
In this patriarch's estate there are 1110 oxen, 80 horses.
4,000 sheep, 4 farms, and 6,1141. in gold.—Alga Bay
