FRANCE AND ITALY.

La Patrie has the following :—" It is asserted
that in consequence of the recognition of the king-
dom of Italy, the cities of Florence and of Naples
ceasing to be considered by us as capitals, France
will establish consuls-general there. French con-
suls and consular agents will be established in other
towns of the ancient kingdom of Naples. The exe-
quatur for these agents will be granted by his Ma-
jesty King Victor Emmanuel."

THE COMMERC/A_G BANK OF LONDON.

The Commercial Bani of London have issued the
following notice to their shareholders, proposing a
return of £lO per share of the paid-up capital of
£2O. It appears that strong hopes are entertained
that the ligidation will ultimately result in a return
of the whole amount. S bould this be realised it will
afford proof, looking at tle adverse state of the stock
and money-markets th i.t has prevailed ever since
the winding up was rmsolvecl upon, after the dis-
covery of Durdin's frauds in February, of the sound
position of the establis'ament at that time, and of
the absence of any imperative cause for a cessation
of its blsiness

" Commercial Bank of London, Lothbury, July 2.
" Referring to the meeting of the proprietors of this bank
held on the 19th of March hist, and to the resolutions passed
at that meeting, the directors have now the pleasure of in-
forming you that they ha ve paid off nearly the whole of
their banking liabilities.
" Under these circumstarksees, the directors are desirous of
making the earliest possibit return to the proprietors of a
portion of their share capital:. The realisation, however, of
the remaining assets of the I sunk will necessarily be attended
with some delay, and with Cue view therefore of accelerating
a payment to the shareholder;, and of meeting the expressed
wishes of many of them, the directors have made an arrange-
ment with the London and "Westminster Bank for such an
advance as will enable therm to return at once a sum of £lO
per share.

" Should the sharehold airs generally sanction this ar-
rangement, the directors will be prepared to make a pay-
ment of £lO per share on t'ae 31st day of July inst.
" I am, sir, your obedient servant,
" A. R. CITTBILL."
