B.t mos BANK. The annual meeting of the
trustees of this bank was held on Tuesday, when the
accounts of last )ear were gone into and passed.
From these accounts it appeared that there were, on
the 20th of November, upwards of 400 depositors;
the total amount deposited being nearly .000. This.
bank is much appreciated as a great boon by many
of the pourer classes, as itgives them the opportunity
of investing their savini,s ; and by allowing $
small rate of interest when the deposits reach a
certain amount, eheouragement is given to deposit
small sums, which, in the majority of MRCS, W 0111 d
most probably be otherwise spent in waste.

-
popular position, rapidly adding to its numbers and
financial strength. We find the grand total in
