'We are informed that a telegram received by the
London branch of the National Bank of India
states that the head office has declared a dividend
for the previous six months at the rate of six per
cent. per annum, carrying over 60,000 rupees to
the reserve fund, after providing for all contingen-
cies. The National is an Indian bank, established
in Calcutta in 1863, and seems to have gone through
the recent crisis without any loss.
The Etna has arrived at Queenstown with £4,000
in specie, and the New York at Southampton with
£9,340 for England and £4OO for Bremen.

Two o'CLocK.

At the Parisßourse to-day, according to Reuter's
telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at
69f. 65c. Quiet.

The present joint-stock and private establish-
ment, including the National Discount Company,
and Messrs. Alexanders, Cunliffes, and Co., have
reduced the interest on deposit accounts to 4i per
cent. for money at call, and to 44 per cent. for
7 and 14 days' notice of withdrawal.
Within the last hour more commercial bills have
been offered for discount. This was fully expected
because no one would think of obtaining supplies
of money when lower terms were imminent. The
market, however, still retains a tranquil appear-
ance, 5 per cent. being predicted for an early day.

The effect of the Bank's measure on the Stock
Exchange has been limited to a consolidation of the
firmness noticeable yesterday. There is no further
improvement of importance, but values are gene-
rally buoyant. The announcement of the directors
was fully " discounted," and the latest prices of
Consols are the same as those current yester-
day afternoon—viz., for money and the 6th
September 89f I-, and for October 89/ f.

States 5-20 Bonds are 72f j ; Erie shares, 45/ 46f ;
and Illinois, 79f 80.
In the Railway Share Market increased activity
has prevailed, and prices have shown a further im-
portant advance, owing to the futher fall in the rate
of discount. South Eastern have improved /,
Lancashire and Yorkshire, and London, Chatham,
and Dover, each 1 ; Great Western and North
Western each 1f ; Midland, 1/ ; and Great Eastern,

FEMALE BEAUTY.—The plainest face is redeemed
by a lovely skin and colour; the most beautiful is not per-
fect without it. Paints and powders are absurd to the
eyes of beholders, and deceive none but the silly wearers
of those ruinous applications. A gentlewoman of rank,
from philanthropic motives, is anxious 0 impart to every
one of her sex, rich or poor, the means of procuring the
most beautiful natural complexion by wholesome, simple,
effective, and inexpensive means.—Send stamped directed
envelope for particulars to Mrs. GRANTLEY, 4, Connaught-
terrace, Hyde-park, London, W.—(Apirr.)
