AUSTRALIAN CABLES.
* (Per Press Association.) Sydney, Nov. 17. The Atlas Engineering Company has completed an order for five cannons for King George, of Tonga. His Majesty's object in increasing bis armament is strictly pacific. Up to the present the Tongan arsenal is not supplied with the means of replying to the Tahitis' visiting vessels, and the King, desiriner to establish his dignity on a proper footing, has ordered the new guns for saluting purposes. At a special general meeting of the Mutual Life Association of Australasia revised and consolidated bye-laws were adopted. The most important alteration is to clearly define the power of the directors in regard to branch boards. This bye-law places beyond all doubt that the Sydney board is the Supreme one. At the half-yearly meeting of the Bank of New South Wales a dividend of 9 per cent was declared.
