      A xeport has been published by the Oriental Bank Corporation , whioh gives tho «© t proflta , after defraying all current expense ^ at 110 , 117 ? . 3 d . A dividend of 5 percent , for theflret half-year oi 1858 has already been paid , and tl » o directors propose to make a phnilar dietribTition , together with a

      bonus of 2 ? . per cent ., for the remaining half-year which will leave a balance of 3 , 9871 . 3 d . to be > carried ; forward to the next account . The annual meeting of proprietors of the Provincial Bank of Iceland is called for the 19 th May ; and an extraordinary'general meeting of shareholders inthe IiOndon Joint ' Stock Bank for the 19 th May ; to elect a director , in the room of Mr . George H . Foster , deceased . . . The business of the Western Bank of London has been transferred by arrangement to the London and County Bank . For some short time it has been known that the management of the former establishment has not been successful , and that the directors were endeavouring to bring about an adjustment of affairs . At the meeting of the East India Coal Company ( Iiimited ) v on Wednesday , a resolution was passed for the confirmation of the various improvements agreed to be made in the deed of settlement at the last meeting , and for other purposes , after which the meeting adjourned . At the annual meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company on Wednesday , Mr . Charles Mills moved that the usual dividend of 2 L per share should bie paid from the insurance fund instead of from the balance of profit and loss account . . A ballot was demanded , which resulted in the adoption of the directors' report , Mr . Mill ' s amendment being rejected . The retiring directors , Captain C . G . Mangles and Mr . Russell Gurney , and the uaditors , Messrs . A . G . Robarts and J . Capel , were reelected .

      Al the half yearly meeting of the Oriental Bank , the report was adopted unanimously , and a dividend and bonus declared for the past half-year equal to 7 per cent ., making a total distribution for 1858 of 12 per cent ., free of income-tax . The general results of the year were looked upon as satisfactory , considering the "consequences of the crisis , of 1857 . An extraordinary general meeting of the European Gas Company is called for the 13 th May , to consider the propriety of dividing the jE 20 shares into £ 10 shares * . and of incorporating the company with limited liability .
