Thvales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
eßtiliked at 15,000 bales, of which 5,000 were
take 4 export and on speculation. The market
was 'ger imated, and prices of all kinds were
tight. Y e jales comprised 12,000 American, 500
Pernam Maranham at Gd. to '7Bd., 200 Bahia
at 6id., 400 Egyptian at 52d. to 9d., and 2,000
Surat at 3d. to sd. per lb. Railway Shares were
firmer.

The advices from the Continent add nothing im-
Portant to the previous accounts, but they are still
hopeful generally as to a pacific adjustment of the
Eastern question.
The ship Geelong, which left Adelaide March
3, is reported off the coast, and brings 38,000 oz.
in gold. The Alecto, advised yesterday afternoon,
has 12,000 oz. from Port Philip. These dates are
old,

At the general meeting of the London Joint-
stock Bank Proprietors, held this morning, the
following report has been adopted "On presenting the half-yearly accounts, the direc-
tors are happy to have it in their power to report the
continued progress of the business of the bank.
"It will be seen that the net profits of the half-year
are 31,540/. 3s. out of which sum the directors propose
to make a dividend for the half-year after the rate of 81.
Per cent, per annum, and to carry forward the remainder,
112. 7,540/. 3s. to the credit of profit and loss account
of the next half-year.
"The directors have had under their careful consider-
elan the
esuggestions made at the last meeting of
me share-
holders respecting the expediency of placing so re-
striction on the amount of which the Guarantee Fund
determined
be allowed to attain, and they have consequently
"Iterrnined to divide annually in future the whole of the
11,,t profits amongst the shareholders, and not to put to
it at fund any part thereof, excepting such fractions as
th Onlye impossible to divide :. so that henceforward
3 e additions to it will be interest after the rate of
Per cent., as required by the Deed of Settlement ; and
fhen they consider the important objects for which this
ccl Was established, and that for the attainment of
those objects, a resort to the reserve which it provides
taebe occasionally necessary, the directors trust that
la arrangement will be satisfactory to the shareholders.
th" While calling the attention of the shareholders to
e dutythey have this day to discharge, in filling up
the
thto existing vacancy in the direction, the directors wish
t, avail themselves of the opportunity of expressing
e
sense- of the great worth and highly honourabl
characters of their late colleague, William Curling, Esq.e
n.r
the shareholders will, they are sure, participate with
he .
In a feeling of regret at the loss which the bank
88nstained. The only candidate to supply the va-
e4
ecY is Philip William Flower, Esq., who is duly
14alified, and has given the requisite notices.
tt`' The dividend will be payable on and after Friday,
.429th inst."
