though we must confess that the bold system of spelling
and division of words and sentences which he has adopted
render it occasionally difficult to grasp his meaning. We
feel sure,,however, that our readers would prefer to read

obscure, diction, pruned and polished by our editorial

The report of the directors of the London Bank
of Mexico and South America, to be presented at
the forthcoming second ordinary general annual
meeting, congratulates the proprietary on the suc-
cessful progress of the bank during the past half-
year. The accounts show that the net profit
amounts to £27,860 195., which, with £13,585
brought forward from last account, gives an avail-
able total of £41,446. The directors recommend
that £15,000 of this sum be appropriated to the
payment of a dividend of 15s. per share, being at
the rate of 10 per cent. per annum; that £2,133
12s. 10d. be placed to the reduction of preliminary
fund; and that the balances, £4,312, be
expenses ; that £20,000 be carried to the reserve.d

THE "ECONOMIST" ON THE REFORM BILL—Some

Liberal members of Parliament have been satisfied with
the promise by the Government that they would during
this session lay their supplemental reform bills on the
table of the house. But no such
promise cam satisfy the
country—out of doors nobody cares what is on the table
of the house. We only know what is proposed. Who can
tell what may happen before these deposited and ante-
dated bills come on for discussion ? The proceeding is
fatally like that so common in the money market of late.
The manager of a finance comPanY says, "Sir, your bills
are capital, excellent paper ; I shall be very glacl to dis-
eount them Of course you won't object to take the com-
pany's acceptance. We are short of cash just now." Just
so the country is asked to consider what government will
propose, because it is not convenient to propose it now.
But we do not even know that the government willbe in
existence when it is called on to perform its engagements.
We should be worse-than the holder of the acceptance of
finance companies, for an administration has no corporate
character when it has ceased. It has no lasting unity t 9
