A balance sheet for the second financial year, has
been issued by the directors of the Anglo-Egyptian
Bank, They state that the result of the operations
of the establishment for the past twelve months has
been unsatisfactory. This is to be attributed to
.exceptional causes, which may bereadily understood
by those who are conversant with the present state
of monetary affairs. The Bank, in conjunction
with other powerful parties, became contractors in
Deceraber la:4 fora loan to the Viceroy of Egypt, and
this business provided great advantages ; but owing

extraordinary financial crisis, the total issue of the

h2ellrities to -maintain their position, and thit 1.110
reaulted in a considerable loss. Nevertheless,
it will be satisfactory to know that the
directors in Alexandria obtained from the Viceroy
a signal favour, who took for his personal account"
nearly half the loan at the contract price. More-
over, his liig hness compensated the bank for part of its
lossby a grant of £50,000, and placed business in the
hands of the directors probably sufficient to cover
the deficiency. The directors also state that they
are desirous of reducing the liability of the share-
holders, and will recommend a measure with that
object in the ensuing month. The accounts will be
issued in the course of a few days. There is every
reason to believe that the capital of this company
is virtually intact.

The improvement which took place in the English
Stock Market about midday yesterday was not
t4aintained, owing to a few speculative sales just
before the close. Consols quietly settled down at

surprising that the different classes of Government

there are hoards of money awaiting investment.
