It would appear from the Report made yesterday °ertilicsl4l
fairsof the Louden Joint Stock Bank, that the cone,
withstanding the low rate of interest that has ruled for r'f
time past, is working well. A dividend at the rater°ol
cent was declared. As this Report appears in anethe 60111
of The Sun, it is not necessary to advert to its
si,sei,
here, further than to observe that the sY
Joint-Stock Banking is fostered in the City °cad',
malgre all the denunciations of the supporters of tte
banking interests. when it was first introduced to t':,B't r

Among the indications of an augmentatinaarth
trade of the port of London, it may be yr)
tice, that both in the St. Katherine's and the dr
Docks, additional berths and warehouses for shipping M+
are in course of formation. There is a good demo' of
tish manufactures for exportation, and the nuraheror
taking in cargoes in the River Thames shows a 'serf
able increase on the list at this time last year.
The private advices received this morning from
state that the manufacturers of that country were 11e'Y
over-stocked with fabrics suitable for exportation, the 184
