BANKING INTELLIGENCE.

CARLISLE BANK.—Mr. John Brown late manager of
the Carlisle city and district hank, has, according to a no-
tice issued by the directors, " absented himself from the
bank under circumstances which have excited suspicions
that he will not return." The directors say, they have
examined his accounts. &i•. and " have found everything
correct, with *he at: gle exception that Mr. Brown's own
cash account has been overdrawn to :he amount of X 2,554
9s. 3d. which sum, however, is considerably within the
amount of his securities in the possession of the directors."
A BAD SPECULATION.—We understand that amongst
the advances made by the joint-stock bank which has
just exploded in the Isle of Man, was one of £lO,OOO to
no less a personage than Don Carlos, of Spain, made at
the time when his army was starting from the Basque
Provinces for Madrid, anti which was to have been repaid
tenfold when he arrived there. Unluckily, both for Don
and the bank, he was stopped on the way by Espartero,
in consequence of which he lost his chance of the crown,
and the bank lost both its principal and interest. We
have heard that the sailing of the Spanish Armada was
retarded by the refusal of the bankers of Genoa to make
certain advances to the government of Spain ; but we cer-
tainly were not aware u ail very recently that the fate of
the Spanish monarchy had been so nearly decided by a
joint-stock bank in the Isle of Man.

BANK Olr ENGLAND.—On Thursday a quarterly gene-
ral meeting of the proprietors of bank stock was held in
the bank parlour, for the purpose of declaring a dividend
for the half-year ending on the 10th of October next ; W.
Cotton, Esq., governor, iti the chair.—The Governor said
the directors had resolved upon declaring a dividend of 3i
per cent. interest and profit for the half-year ending on
the 10th of October next, deducting 7d in the pound on
account of the income tax. Ile had also to state that the
court of directors, in order to enable them to declare
this dividend, had taken from the " rest" the sum of
£7,167 17s. lid , the accounts being made up to the 10th
of October. £5,1164 had been taken from the " rest" in
order to make up the dividend of the last half year, which,
added to the amount taken to make up the present divi-
dend, made the total amount taken from the rest, during
the present year, £13,032 9s. 11d. In the course of the
proceedings the Governor said that in consequence of a
communication, which the directors had received from her
majesty's government, they had relieved 10,000 accounts
from the payment of the tax, without giving the parties
the trouble of making any application to the authorities
on the subject.—Mr. Thompson inquired whether the
batik had sustained any considerable losses by the branch
banks within the last six months ? The governor replied
that he was not aware of any.—ln answer to a question
after paying the last dividend, was
from a proprietor, the Governor stated that the amount
of the " rest,"
£3,177,737: and it would be, after payment of the present
dividend, £3,170,570.—A dividend of 3-4 per cent was
then declared, and the Governor stated that the dividend
warrants would be delivered and payable on Wednesday,
the 10th of October next.
