Acts of the general court of the present year authorized the following banks to increase their capital; the amounts and time of payment of which are as follow, viz:

Adams, in Adams, $50,000; paid April 20.

Franklin County, in Greenfield, $50,000; of which $12,500 were paid July 1, and $12,500 September 2.

Grocers', in Boston, $50,000; paid November 16.
Holyoke, in Northampton, $50,000; paid July 1.
Mechanics', in Boston, $30,000; paid May 9.
Mechanics', in Worcester, $50,000; paid June 11.
Newton, in Newton, $50,000; paid June 4.

Tremont, in Boston, $500,000; of which on July 6, $85,800; August 22, $84,500; and October 4, $287,150.

Union, in Boston, $200,000; July 2, paid $165,000; July 30, paid $35,000.

Western, in Springfield, $150,000; $50,000 paid May 10; $50,000 July 1; $30,000 October 2.

In the column of "Cash deposited bearing interest," the Globe Bank, Boston, includes $30,000, and the Eagle Bank, Boston, $50,000, loan from the commonwealth.

The Mechanics' Bank, Boston, made an extra dividend in May of $50,000; and the Bay State, in Lawrence, in April, $3,000; which are not included in the average.

The Millbury Bank makes a return of their reserved profits in October, 1850, of $5,000. The requisition requiring the state of the bank on the first Saturday of September, that amount is not placed to their credit in the abstract. The dividends returned as paid, in October, 1849, and October, 1850, are, for the like reason, omitted.

The "Total amount due from the banks," and "Total amount of the resources of the banks," do not, in the aggregate, agree by the sum of $32,413 35. This discrepancy is caused by the return from the Dorchester and Milton Bank, which deducts from its resources $31,921 57, of which it has been robbed, and $491 78, expenses incurred on account thereof. The return from that bank, however, states that, since the first Saturday of September, $11,100 of the stolen money have been re-. covered.
