The City Bank have notified the issue of' 1,500 new
shares of 100/. each to their proprietary, at 8/. premium,
the rate of allotment being one new share to every two
old shares. the amount realised by the premium will
be applied4to the commencement of a guarantee fund.
The aeylon Government Gazette of the 29th of Decem-
ber notifies that the Government issue of notes has been
withdrawn frorn-the Ist ult., and that the notes of the
Oriental Bank Corporation are made receivable at all
the Government Cutcherries in their stead.
Notwithstanding the animation in the Consol market
there was a general relapse yesterday afternoon in the
premiums on the shares of the new banking companies.
This will be regarded with satisfaction by all persons in-
terested in the respectability of English enterprises, since
it may check the flood of imitative projects which are
understood to be ready to be poured upon the public.
HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS' INSTITUTION. --The
third annual ball in, aid..of the funds of this excellent
institution, established for the purpose of affording relief
to its aged and necessitous members, is announced to
take place at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, on Tuesday
next, the 19th instant. When we consider the vast
benefits that have already been conferred by this young
but flourishing institution, we cannot but congratulate
the csimnittee upon their great success. We sincerely
hope that the assembly on Tuesday next will outrival
all its predecessors, .and thereby largely benefit the
funds of this benevolent and charitable institution.
LORD MAYOR'S TnumPATER.--Yesterday, at a Court
of Aldermen, it was announced that the Lord Mayor's
trumpeter was dead, and a question arose as to the ap-
pointment of a successor. Alderman Wiro submitted a
motion to the effect that the office was unnecessary.
Alderman Outer said he looked upon the office as one
which made-the civic procession more conspicuously and
noisily ridiculous. (Laughter.) Alderman Farebrother
having remarked that, insignificant as was the office, it
might be advisable not to throw it up without due cor
sideration, it was resolved that the situation should not
be filled up for the present.
