The Qumran. in cumin itg ad tics, laid that the
melt of the half-year had not the arperratieng ha
bald eat at the last meeting. This was owing to failures in
Mil, mercantile boners, and the fall which occurred in
ea mice of articles of Indian produce. On the 14th of
Hera the estimated loss was 22,0001. ; but the crisis wee
we yet over, and further lames might be sustained an houses
emanated with the East were fain every day. He was
yaw to my that they had not sustained • Ices
of a shilling by the failure of Mr. J. Glachtooe.
Tiers wee another house, which be would not name' by
which the debt due to them was reduced how 70,0004 to
10,0031., and there would probably be no Ices at all. They

they bad on goverameat securities, was carried over
at the actual market value on the 31st of December. But
they bad not taken over the rum invested abroad in lands
sad building at the cost pram He believed they could
rules them now at nearly double the cost. With regard
to the future he believed they might look forward
to a speedy termination of the Americas war, which
he coexisted would lead to the increased prosperity of the
compasy. They were doing well ; their credit was good,
gad be believed their prospects were faar. (Hear).

The Ceanittx said that there were Me ilireebwe. Their

had been raised to 4.000/. There was no objection to pub-
lishiog the names of the directors. There was no present
intention of ineremaing the amount of capital, which now

dad at 800,0001.
