It is well known that business of all kinds has for a length of time been very unprofitable and failures have been the result, however it is to be hoped that a revival of business is at hand and that the want of confidence which has been the prevailing feature of the various money markets will soon give way to a more healthy tone. We feel confident that the Bank will participate fully in any im. provement that way take place.

The last voyage of the steamship Marinf les from Singapore to Manila was somewhat long, but it was not only owing to the bad ntate of the weather, which we first thought it to be. The vessel was navigating in front and at great distance from the Bala bac straits, and on the 27th or 28th Jan. she struck a reef which was not marked in the chart, where she remained for twelve hours. This reef, according to calculation, fa altusted in lat. 7.58 N., long. 120.2 E. of San Fernando. It is of white coral, and of some four miles long and 2 miles wide.
