The CHAIRMAN said the directors had entered upon the
arrangement because they believed it would be for the ad-
Sd the shareholders, who would, if it were moo-
hansediately partkipsta in the profits of an este-
' banking hominess, while they would avoid all the

constant, showed that the prospects were very Nati-
factory. The Bank of Hindusten had jest paid an interim
dividend ci 10 per mat. ; the shareholdin would parti-
cipate in that dividend, and there was no reason to sup-
pose that It would not be maintained. The shame of the
other bank now stood at 9 premium. The sewn fund
would at the end of the year amount to 180,0001.

Mr. Gress as to the necessity for information, and non-
deemed the proposed appropriation of 20,0001. to the pay-
ment of preliminary capons.
Mr. Petonsvz took the game view, and said the agree-
