BOROUGH HOP.

We continue to have a slow sale for all kinds of hope;
indeed, so little is doing in them that it is impossible 0
quote prices accurately. The supply of hops is very lard
for the time of year, and some parties continue to estimate
the duty as high as 230,0001.

THE WESTERN BANE OT LONDON.—The anneel
meeting of the Western Bank of London was held yo'
terday, Mr. Roebuck, M.P., in the chair, when the 0;
port was e.dopted unanimously. The chairman °boric;
that during the past year the bank has had to oonteV
with great difficulties. Independently of the effect pre'
deiced by the mismanagement of certain similar instittl•
Cons, and the depression consequent upon the pani°'
they have also suffered from having been dragged into
unnecessary litigation. In every one of their law cases,
however, they have been successful, and their opposees
ordered ,to pay costs. Rumours were likewise indus-
triously circulated that half the capital was lost, and the'
the establishment was on the brink of ruin, but the
board consider that the balance-sheet now presented coil
elusively proves the falsehood of these reports. Of th:
10,225/. charged fur current expenses, &c., 4,9731. is f!:
bad debts. The chairman then pointed out that the
counts of the j int-stock banks lately published show'
in on'y o .e instance an increase of business,..while in el
caw of the Western B ink there has been an increase °
36,0001. In answer to a question it was stated that th:
directors have received no remuneration for the Pit
yea-. It was also mentioned that the reduction in tu"
sum invested in Government securities has been ocer
sioned by the withdrawal of fends which could be
ployed to better advantage in affording increased
ties to customers during the late pressure.
