AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
THE BANK CHARTER OF 1844.—The whole of
the wording of this important enactment will be
given in extenso in The Sun of Tuesday evening
next, the 7th instant, it having occurred to us that
a matter of such profound interest to the entire
commercial world could not but be most welcome,
just now, in the midst of the severe monetary crisis
which is still unhappily existing.
Some heavy commercial engagements have come
due to-day, but ample provision having been made
by the mereantilo, community generally, there
is not the least doubt that all payments will be
met satisfactorily. The inquiry for money is rather
active, and the brokers require full rates for all the
busimu they negotiate.
It is satisfactory to report an influx of £43,000
in bar gold at the Bank of England yesterday
afternoon, and likewise 104,000 sovereigns received
from India, the latter being the first operation of
the kind for a considerable period.
A dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum
for the past half-year has been declared by the di-
rectors of Penson and Co. (Limited), leaving a
balance of £1,684.
The specie movement during the past week has
been of an extreme character, both as regards the
imports and the exports. The former have amounted
to about £1,044,586, chiefly from New York and
the West Indies and Pacific, while the latter have
been to the extent of £625,593, 'the greater portion
of which has been despatched to the continent.
A first capital of £40,000 in £lO shares is re-
quired by the Parkesine Company (Limited),
which is established to acquire and work the patents
of Alr. Alexander Parkes in the production of a
new substance known as Parksine, a material, it is
stated, that can be manufactured at a cost much less
than that of indiarubber or gutta percha, and which
Can be applied in a superior degree to all the uses
of those articles.

The provisional liquidator, Mr. Barrow, of the
National Savings Bank Association has been
appointed by the Master of the Rolls official liqui-
dator.

Reuter's telgram, the 3 per cent. Rentes were 69f.
