Tarimanav Bmnrao.
lath, esigisi of the profpristere et the Bank of
iflaewhisit wee held today a dividend tor the
eel of 4 pee esat. was declared. It appeared by
tti t of the governor that the profits of the

n the proportion of prate from which the
el' be paid, was 8,613,4841., and, as ft
682,1201. to pay 4 pm ant., the rest would
au fly remain 3,001,3141. limit to that
fa it has now been wisely determined to re-
gard es greed. , The mil, point* psinently alluded
to he the 0001,1 of the eliesme which followed
°Ash** la tie remarks of Mr, Parry de Winton
sO.Mr. Fielder. Mr. de .Wiatce, while acclaim-
ing is theescrloysionfs the step adopted by the
'alt the increased dividend, Nig-
paned the dal of the director, embracing
it gii, olepettlanity of employing the funds of the bank
miter, and giving acestamodation to all re-
s able parties, includ
ing the negotiation of pro-
m notes with two good names upon them, end
the t of advances to county and other
Unitas w might seek to riles money for building
piblis institutions, each as pais, humid asylum,
.... Mr. Yielder elicited the that the various
idensiatleme Wens brukkgr generally ad-
mitted to hays greatly increased the public con-
venience, were drawing to a okras, and that the ex-
•perses incurred had been included in the amounts of
the last half-year. In accordance with the terms of
the charter, a ballot will be takenprofornul on the
question of increased dividend next Tuesday.
The present dividend is one per cent. per annum more
than the last; and when the low rate of interest
which hes ruled in the interval, and the competition
which the Bank has had to maintain in an over-
stocked money market are taken into consideration,
the preient dividend Teaks volumes in favour of the
sound principles and the judicious management
which have characterised the conduct of its affairs.
At the general meeting of the shareholders of the
Back of Belgium, held at Antwerp on the 20th inst.,
the balance sheet of the bank for the year 1849 was
distributed, by which 101,000 fr. are set aside in
redaction of the losees amounting to 297,000 fr. which
the bink has sustained by the dishonesty of one of its
employis. The report of the committee of inspection
having been read, approving of the accounts ren-
dered, a dividend of 40 fr. was declared on the first
class of shares issued in 1835, and the .meeting
then proceeded to the election of six candidates
to be presented to the King to All the office of
managers. The members of the committee of inspec-
tion were all re-i tinted. Another object of the meet-
ing was the au,horisition of certain alterations in the
laws of the institution, but as the necessary number
of votes could not be collected the proposed modifica-
tions will be submitted for the t.pproval of the share-
holders at the next general meeting.
The Bourse at Antwerp yesterday was extremely
heavy and prices of the public securities were not alto-
gether ma;ntaine d. At the cloaca( business the fol lowing
were the quotations : —Belgian Four-and-a-Half per
, Cents.. 1844, 89; buyers; the Five per Cents., 1840

Advice, from Havre of the 19th report a rather
steady market for cotton at previous rates, the sales
on Monday having amounts! to 8.57 bales, and the
I total for the week precious to 3,489 bales, against
2,126 bales Imported during that period. The prices
ate quoted ►t IL to 2f. below those of the week pre-
c.diug. Business is coffers had bees interfered sith
by the public sales of damaged parcels, with which
the consumers had supplied their wants, and beyond
which there was no demand. The inquiry for sugar
was extremely limited, and prices had not improved.
Indigo was without demand, but advice@ from Calcutta
as to the quantity bought on French account were
anxiously looked for. Of hides, some sales had been
made of dry Buenos Ayres of superior quality at 76f.
arid ethers at 59f.

Marseilles advice, of the 18:h report an exceedingly
dull market for coffee, the business of the previous
week having been almost suspended, pending the re-
sult of the Dutch sale,. A few small lots of Brazil
coffee were all that found buyers at 60f. to 6M. in
entrepot according to quality. In sugar of foreign
growth by French flags several transactions had taken
place; 4,000 bags Pernambuco, per Achille,
had been taken at 261. per 50 kilogrammes
in entrepot, on terms with discount ; and
some small lots of Havannah at 37f. for white, and 29
to 30r. for blond, per 60 kil. in entrepot. Olive oil
continued to find immedsate sale as it arrived, and
was in good &mud, which, with the absence of fresh
supple s, had given a further impulse to the market,
causing an advance in price. Araili and Canes had
bees disposed of at 118 and 1181 f., and the latter for
May and July delivery at 120 30. Gum Senegal
(Galsm) had found purchasers to the event of 100
big. at 220 f. per 100 kil. in entrepot. Silk was firm
in price, but business was limited. In American
colon ere was nothing doing, and the market for
this staple was without the least movement. Wool
had been in good requre. and sales of 120 bales of
Syria white washed, at 107.60, and 20 bales Zigay
white in the grease at 80f. are reported.
