ceedings were chiefly of a congratulatory character.

dividend of 15s. per share, being at the rate of 10

surplus to be carried forward, was unani-
mously adopted. Mr. Layard, the chairman,
referred in terms of satisfaction to the suc-
icessful establishment of the bank and its branches,
and expressed an opinion that the proposed bank
of Turkey, should it be established, will benefit
_the interests of the Ottoman Bank, by placing the
general currency of the empire upon a more
satisfactory and reliable footing. A cordial vote of
thanks was passed to the directors.
