BETTING AT MANCHESTER.
We leave nothing of importance to record since Tues-
day. The rooms being nearly deserted on Wednesday
and Thursday by the subscribers to attend the Hoylake
Meeting, and was but thinly attended to-day. 50 to 1
was currently offered against anything for the Chester
Cup, and there ware offers to take 20 to 1 about Daw-
son's Lot ; 40 t• 1 was taken to win a few hundreds
about Frederick for the Derby, the same figure being
wanted about Polydere, against wham 1,000 to 30 was
the highest offer. Any advance upon 20 to 1 would have
been taken about Cruiser, but so little was done that we
deem a list of quotations unnecessary.

Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advan-
tage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming im-
paired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged
persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most
minute occupation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag-
li
nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-

nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probatly ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear Istinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired. By her Majesty's Royal,
Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp,
Race-course, Opera, and Persoective Glasses (glazed with
Munic German Glass), to kiilw the distances of objects
viewed through them—of great importance to the army,
navy, and others. Those telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 3.4 inches, with an extra eye-
, piece, will show distinctly JuDiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance time miles and a half distant,
and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly,--The Royal Ex-
hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and knownli miles distant; they answer

They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera.race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful

At a meeting of the London Chartered Bank of Aus-
tralia, held to-day, Mr. D. Dunbar presiding, a dividend
of 3 per cent., free of income-tax, for the half-year end-
ing the 30th of June, was unanimously carried. The
chairman stated that it was not the practice to exhibit
accounts on the present occasion, the ordinary period
being in June, when they would be brought forward
properly audited, but that an abstract of profit and loss
had been prepared, with the view of satisfying the
shareholders that the rate of distribution proposed is
warranted by the position of the bank. The advices
from the colony are satisfactory, and, with the exercise
of due caution, business is making progress. After pay-
ment of this dividend and the transfer of 10 per cent. .
to the reserve fund, a balance of 7,0001., or nearly 11
per cent., will remain to the credit of the current half-
year. In illustration of the increase of operations, it
was mentioned that the circulation, which, on the
31st of December, 1853, was 125,0001., had, on the
30th of June, increased to 279,0001. ; that the de-
posits, from 230,7941., had increased to 291,0001. ; and
that the discounts, from 380,4531., had increased to
810,0001. The dividend having been agreed to, the
question of an increase of capital was taken into con-
sideration. On behalf of the directors it was intimated
that the augmented transactions of the bank require at
least 200,0001., which is proposed to be raised in 10,000
shares of 201. each, the board promising to use oircum-
speotien in calling up the amount after the payment of 1
the first 51. per share in January next. Under the
charter the capital can be increased to 1,000,0001., but
the directors state they are not desirous of carrying it at
present beyond 700,0001., so that the proprietors may
receive the full benefit of the profits. There are three
establishments to support in Australia—one in Sydney,
one in Melbourne, and one in Geelong ; and, as the co-
lonial officers report that these cannot be adequately re-
presented by less than 450,0001., it is felt that 50,0001.
is too little for the parent establishment in London.
The great majority concurred in these views, but one
proprietor suggested that no hurried steps should be
taken in this direction, especially since it would be ne-
cessary, in the existing condition of Australian affairs,
not to encourage an extension, but rather a contraction
of banking facilities. It having been explained, how-
ever, that the London Chartered Bank of Australia
being in comparative infancy, and having to sustain itself
against the active rivalry of the established Australian
banks, may require the amount to increase the confi-
dence of its customers and the public, the resolution was
forthwith unanimously adopted. At the close of the
proceedings, Mr. C. G. Barnett, of the firm of Barnett,
Hoare, and Co., was elected a director ; and, in answer
to a question, it was announced that, although the board
under the deed are entitled to receive 3,0001. as remu-
neration, they have accepted only 1,800/. The following
is the abstract of the profit and loss account at 30th of
June, 1854 :
