COMMZUCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The directors of the Provincial Banking Corpora-
tion have elected as their general manager, Mr.
Trotter, who has been connected with the National
Provincial Bank of England, the Manchester and
Liverpool District Bank (at Liverpool), and the
Provincial Bank of Ireland.
The half-yearly meeting of the directors and
shareholders of the London and Provincial Turkish
Bath Company (Limited) was held, in pursuance of
the Act, at the Hammam, 76, Jermyn•street, on
Monday afternoon. The directors present were—
Stewart Erskine Holland, Esq., chairman ; Percy
Smith, Esq.; Major Poore, Sth Hussars; J. H. N.
Da Costa, E ; and James Lowe, Esq. The report
of the directors on the affairs of the company was
read. The gross profits of the bath are £367 12s
6d in excess of those of the last six months, and the
Profits of the café and hotel can only be considered
as rendering its returns since the last Easter vacae
tl°u., The amount available for distribution on the
profit and loss account would have been £1,123 7s
4d, but for the extraordinary contingency of the
company having been mulcted in £279 Os 53 law
Costs incurred by Adams's action. The debt of the
company has been reduced from £3,000 to £2,500,
of which £l,OOO will be immediately paid, and thy'
remaining £1,500 in July, from which period it
will be entirely extinguished. The directors pro-
Posed a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum from the
Ist November, 1863, on all shares then peid up,
and a proportionate rate on all shares subse-
quent paid up in full, according to the date of
Payment. This semi will amount to £505 14s. 3d.,
and will leave £338 13s. Bd. to be carried over to
the credit of the next account. Various alterations
and improvements have been made both in the hotel
and hammam,which have materially increased their
attractions. Others are contemplated which will add
to the accommodation for bathers. The powers of the
bath, as applying radiating heat to the cure of dig>
ease, will then be brought into action and evidence.
In the course of the proceedings it was proposed
that the directors be hereafter remunerated. This
-was unanimously declined by them on the ground
that their work was comparatively nil; the real
management, which was entirely one of complicated
details, being conducted by the honorary director,
Mr. Urquhart, whose labours in the matter were
further increased by the applicatio❑ made to him
for the erectioa of baths by the managers
of several of the largest hospitals and asylums.
After the discussion of some points raised by the
shareholders present, the Report was unanimously
adopted, and a dividend of 6 per cent. ordered to be
paid ; and, after a vote of thanks to the Board of
Directors and the Chairman, the meeting adjourned.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris this morning, according to Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 65c.;
New Account, 661. 95c.

A decline of k per cent. has occurred this morning
In the Eng.ish Funds. This drop is, no doubt,
owing more to the very limited business in progress
than to any other circumstance. Monetary prospects
,re favourable, and there appears to be quite a lull
In politics. Consols, for money, are 91a I, and
for the account, less the dividend, 901 1. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 e ;
Es-
- Bills, 7s. to 2s. dis.; and India 5 per Cents.,
10,0 1.
In the Foreign Market there is very little ani-
mation, and prices are tolerably steady. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 71 4 ; do. Consolides, 481 ;
Mexican, 44-a y ; do. New Loan, 1 01 dis.; Spani,h
Passive, 34-k e ; Greek, 251 2 ; Portuguese, 48-1 a ;
Russian Scrip, 4 4 prem.; Swedish, 21 31 prem.;
and the Confederate Loan, 64k
In the Railway Share Market a firmer tone has
prevailed. Great Western, Lancashire and York-
shire, Great Eastern, and London, Chatham, and
Dover have each improved ss. ; while Metropolitan
have declined 153,

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are also in some
instances at slightly enhanced rates.
