The telegrams from Bombay report a further
slight advance in the exchange, and the silver

A new London Joint Stook Bank, formed of
the principle of limited liability, now appli-
cable to banks, is announced under the title
of the Mercantile Bank (Limited). The direction
resectable, and of a practical character. In order
that "an ample portion of the capital" may "be
left uncalled to secure the confidence of customers"
it is not intended to call up more than 301. per
share, or 300,0301. of the capital of 1,000,0001. The
fact that the current and deposit accounts of the
existing London Joint Stock Banks have increased
between 0,000,0001. and 7,000,000/. during the last
twelve mouths reported upon, is cited as proof that
the field for banking is extending.
It is intimated that the General Bank of
Switzerland have obtained an interim injuno-
tion from the Court of Chancery restraining the
directors of the Bank of Turkey from paying
away money to the shareholders. Holders of
cheques already given for this purpose were ac-
cordingly rt fused payment yesterday by the com-
pany's bankers. It appears, however, that of the
40,000 aliens constituting the capital of the Bank
of Turkey, the holders of 30,000 have already re-
ceived back the deposit of 3/. The matter will be
argued further in the Court of Chancery on Fri-
day next.

The report, to be submitted by the directors of
the Mercantile Fire Insurance Company, at the
special meeting called for the 25th inst., makes the
satisfactory announcement that the second call of
21. las. per share, which was originally fixed to be
paid on the Lt prox., is not considered necessary.
A paid up capital of 200,0001. is cow regarded as
quite sufficient, the subscribed capital being
2,000,0001. Regard is also had in this arrange-
ment to the contemplated union with the North
British Insurance Company. The business of the
Mercantile Company is described as of a satisfactory
character and fully maiming the directors' expecta-
tions. _ _ _
