The application lists for the issue of £2,771,600
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Consolidated
Sterling Mortgage Bonds were closed yesterday,
and it has been ascertained that the subscriptions,
which were very numerous, are for more than the
total amount required.

The Banking Almanac and Directory for 1866
has just made its appearance. The work is com-
piled by D. M. Evans, and published, as in former
years, by Messrs. Groombridge and Sons, of Pater-
noster-row. It is most useful to the banking and
financial community, furnishing, as it does, all the
changes and variations connected with these estab-
lishments. The amalgamations and absorptions
during the present year have been exceedingly
numerous, and these have been recorded; whilst the
new bank is clearly indicated in detail, the old or
fused establishment is also referred to. The gene-
ral information, the banking and commercial retro-
spect, and the list of failed firms, will all be found
available for reference.
