At the first annual meeting of the shareholders
of the Ottoman Financial Association held to-day,
the report stated that the gross profits for the half-
year were £23,292, which, with £6,833 balance of
last account, enabled the directors, after payment
of all current expenses, to propose that £959 be
written off preliminary expenses, £2,000 put to the
reserve fund, and £18,079 carried over to meet any
losses which may result from embarrassments at
Smyrna.
The directors of the Trust and Loan Company of
Upper Canada have issued their report and state-
ment of accounts for the six months ending the 30th
September of the current year, to be submitted to
the proprietors at the next general meeting. The
net profits during this period have amounted to
£13,498 14s. 2d., which, added to the sum brought
forward from March last, leaves £13,687 15s. Id.
available for distribution. The directors recommend
that a dividend at the rate of 74 per cent. per annum,
less income-tax, be declared on the paid-up capital
stock of the company ; that one half of the surplus
profits over 6 per cent. per annum, and the usual
charge for interest, amounting together to £3,588
17s. 5d., be carried to the reserve fund ; and that
£250 be applied to the redemption of preliminary
expenses, leaving a sum of £l6l 7s. Bd. to be carried
forward.

DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON MILL BY FIRE.--On
Friday evening a fire occurred at Gargrave, near Skipton,
in the West Riding of Yorkshire, by which property of the
value of £50,000 or £60,000 was destroyed. Tho property
consisted of a largo cotton mill, three storeys high, with all
its machinery, stock of cotton, cotton yarns, and other
articles. The mill was occupied by Messrs. Edward Brace-
well and Brothers, but was the property of Mr. Matthew
Wilson, of Eshton Hall.

THE REDUCTON OF THE FRENCH ARML—The re-
ductions in the French army are so considerable as
to
excite surprise and respect. They aro indicative of in-
creased reliance on his personal influence and on the per-
manence of his dynasty on the part of the Emperor.
They show that he does not anticipate any European
difficulties or foreign derangements, and at the same time
they exhibit the workings of a conviction that the weight
of the army was too great for France, and that it would be
better to incur the anger of a small class than the discon-
tent of the mass of the people afflicted by taxation. Indeed
these changes are so large that the measure may be re-
garded as the guarantee of a change in French policy. In its
immediate bearings on the condition of our own army, it
must be regarded as a lever which Mr. Gladstone will at
once apply to the War-office and Horse Guards, with the
view of benefiting his budget, and but for some threatening
appearances in our sky, there can be no doubt that 1866

alleviate by legitimate compensation the rigour of the re-

sures as a sign that France is disarming are, however, re-
minded by the marshal that there could not be the least
difficulty in swelling the army to its original dimensions at
a very short notice ; and Mr. Prince Smith and his brother
dreamers may, after all, open their eyes to the news in every
day's paper, and read of rebellions and revolts, and wars
they may at last learn that standing armies aro the armed
police of civilisation, even though the Emperor of France
can afford to strike 40,000 men off his muster rolls.--Army
