The Engman, writing regarding the Chartered Mercantile Bank, states that depositars will be paid in full and there is no need for anxiety on the score of the Bank's solvency as for as this portion of its indebtedness goes. The shareholders, however, will suffer to an extent which may be roughly estimated at the difference between the paid-up capital of £750,000 and the procent available assets of 75 lakhs of depreciated rapees, which will be further freened by a deduction of about six months' working expences, The flank's losses have been chiefly incurred on advances In Ceylon and the Strait. Ne serious losses in exchange business have been made since 1866, the year of the general collapse following the American War, but the Bank omitted to provide against the depreciation of the sterling capital, as has been systematically done by other Indian Binks.

Unlike a certain eminent man of our acquaintance, he did not begin with a reference to William Charles Wentworth, or Daniel Henry Dennehy, or the departed glories of Greece and Reme. No, Mr. Tart confined himself to the living present, and in a few well- chosen remarks, reminded his hearers that there was much in common between the Chinese and the Scotch. Both were Industrious, canny and thriity; and, for possessing such praise-worthy qualities, both had incurred the jealousy, and even the enmity, of thele neighbors-in fact, a Chow was a Scot.. The Sentchmen present were delighted, and cheered loudly proof that the national sense of humor had changed but little since Sydney Smith's day.
