The proprietors of the Oriental Bank held their meet-
ing on Saturday, and the directors made a most flourish-
ing report upon the state of their affairs. The total
liabilities of the Bank to the 31st December last repre-
sented, with the paid-up capital, 2,646,5691., and the
profits were 29,8941. A dividend of 12 per cent., in-
cluding the bonus of 4 per cent., was declared, and it
was stated that the business of the Bank had increases'
so much since its charter of incorporation was granted
that power had been taken to raise an additional capital
of 400,0001., one-half to be issued at once at a premium
of 20 per cent. The new charter provides stringent re-
gulations fur the future government of the concern, and
ruck as are well calculated to give confidence and se-
curity.
The certainty of the removal of Smithfield Market
renders the substitution of another and a suitable locality
of urgent importance, and accordingly the claims of the
Islington Cattle Market are bring again brought for-
ward, enforced by the support of several bankers and
railway chairmen of high standiog. Taking into ac-
count the facility of access, the existence of railways that
by the West India Dock Junction are brought to the
very gates of the market, the natural drainage afforded
by the elevated site, the fact that the buildings are com-
pleted, and that the large area, exceeding anything that
could be procured so near town, can even be increased,
there is not a doubt that Islington should be the market
for the northern part of the metropolis. As to the pro-
bable return upon the capital required, 200,0001., the
Smithfield tolls and the experience of what provincial
markets yield is sufficient encouragement.
The advices received from New York are satisfactory
as to the state of the money market, and the large
amount of specie, 600,000 dollars, which the steamer
brings, is the precursor, it is considered, of further
large imports. The Californian news is also very fa-
vourable.
Commercial affairs in California seem to have greatly
improved since our last accounts, and everything beto-
kens a healthy prosperity and steady march to greatness.
But the golden accounts do not all come from Califor-
nia. Six weeks later news from the Australian gold
mines were received on Monday, by the way of Valpa-
raiso. The dates from Sydney are to the 20th of Fe.
bruary. The mines continued prosperous, but the
demand for gold was limited.

Five days later twvices from Buenos Ayres announce
that the country was quiet, although fears were enter-
tained .bat there would be trouble in Monte Video, where
Oriba's party was in the ascendancy. Utquizi, the new
President, seemed to be daily gaining ground in the es-

different provinces would so n resolve upon a confecle-
