Rennie and Sir J. Kirkland, whose retirement the board had
to regret, and to elect threw directors retiring by rotation,
but who were eligible for re-election.
Mr. FAIRLAND, the Secretary, then read the report, which
was to the following effect ,
The directors have the pleasure to commence their fourteenth
annual revert with stating that. with the exception of out-standing
Instalments, amounting to 3,2731., the paid-up capital of the bank Is
now one million sterling. The remaining ten thousand thaws were
booed at par to the proprietors, in tee manner announced at the het
general meethig. The events of the pad year have shown the pro-
priety of tilts mann. The profit. of the past year, alter defraying
the total expense of the estabmt, making allowance for all bed
and doubtful debts, and paying the income tax, amount to
58,2231.45. Wei. Out of these Profits the directors paid lust Septem-
ber • dividend, at the rate of six per cart per annum, on the paid-up
capital of 8-0,0001. for the half-yeer ending the 30th Jane, tad they
now declare a dividend at the same rate upon the inffewM capital of
LOOO,OOOl. for the half-year ending the 31st December. After the pay-
meet of these dividends, making together 34,0002, there will remain
out of the profits of the rear a eurplus of 4,223/. ga. led.,
to be added to the reserved food, which will then amount to
100,6471. 16a. 11d. From the severe pressure on the money market
Mien the latter part of the year it wan deemed advisable to retiree
some portion of our government securities, and although the profits
of the year have consequently been curtailed, yet the directors feel
assured that the liberality which they were thus enabled to exercise
toward, its customers, will tend to the advantage of the bank. The
whole of the stock that was sold has since been mimed. The direc-
tors have further to announce the resignation of M. B. Rennie, Esq.,
and they have to regret the retirement of Sir J. Kirkland. The
weancies thus occasioned to the board have been supplied by the
election of J. D. de \lire, Eeq., and of G. Hanson, ram, subject to
the confirmatioe of the present meeting. The three directors who go
out by rotation this year are F. Burmester, Eeq., C. Gibbed, Eeq.,
and Ft. Kerrey, Esq., who, being eligible, offer themselves foe re-
election.

The CHAIRMAN in mowing the adoption of the report said
he wished particularly to explain one portion of it. Judging
from the high rate of interest which prevailed during the
put year, many persons bad doubtlesa expected that the
directors would have been able to declare a bonus in addi-
tion to the usual dividend of 61. per cent. He was not sur-
prised that such an expectation should have existed, and up
to the month of October last it had been shared by himself
and his colleagues. But during the period of difficulty,
which he might well call the week of terror, that prevailed,
the directors had considered it desirable for the general in-
termit of the bank to realise a portion of their funded capital.
The anxiety of the directors during the period of pressure
was that the distresses of those customers who withdrew
their accounts should not operate injuriously on those who
desired aseommodation. The principle on which the
hank had been conducted was, to have its whole
capital invested is government securities. Times
bad before arisen when they thought it cemetery
to borrow on such securities, but, strange to say, in the pre-
sent ease they were the very worst of any. The great
house over the wv:htheuoldirladylls or—had evend nothingnui to
rr'egreeithttereduromsay that the difficultywto which heed an
alluded
had entailed upon the bank a loss of 20,0001, or within •
trifle of it ; and the fund which would otherwise have been
divided as a bonus among the proprietors had been appro-
priated to replacing that loss. He trusted that the proprie-
tors would see the policy of a great bank like theirs always
maintaining a large amount of funded security, which was
the best security they could have against any impru-
dence en the part of the directors, or against
• period of commercial difficulty. He trusted, there-
fore, that they would approve of the course which
the directors had adopted. It might certainly be asked why
they should charge the whole 20,0001. to the losses of last
year ? They might certainly have pursued • more boasting
course by opening • contingent fund, to be repaid annually ;
but, he asked, would that have been a fair and honest course
of proceeding, although it might have been more gratify-
ing to the proprietors, and have earned for the directors a
kind of ephemeral popularity ? With respect to the " clear-
' ing " system, be considered it was now time, when they
found that heavy loss was entailed upon them for the want
of it, that it should be brought forward as • great public
question affecting the interest not only of the bank but of
the commercial community of the country. A better time
for mooting the question could not be found than the pre-
. sent, when the attention of the public was directed to the
monetary interests of the conntry at large. He would con-
elude by expressing his hope that the public would soon be
convinced that all jealousy existing between private and
joint-stock companies with respect to the " clearing " system
might speedily cease.
On the motion being put for the adoption of the report,
Mr. Mawnaimy minds qasstionwithregart to the report cir-

emitted an the 3rd of March, 1847, that a sum of 4,6001. bad
bissairatad by the proprietors u a remuneration to the
bowl of directors, which, they being only thirteen in num-
herweall give to each director nearly 3001. a year.
TM Owaranast said he believed that 2.0001. were hut
year sided to the sus given to the directory ; the realltnera-
dal which they were new receiving amounted to the BUM
dated. A convenation ensued, in the course of
whisk is was suggested, that for the future minutes
should be kept of the mutual meetings of proprietors, as it
spruced that no record was preserved of the proceedings on
thou occasions.—The Chairman acquiesced in the propriety
of such a regulation, and said that the omission should be
rectified. . . .

•
Mr. Tin wished to know the circumstances which had
led to the loss of one of their customers—the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, which was said to have been caused
by the conduct of the bank.—The Chairman regretted that
he could not answer the question, as the members of the
board were bound to **emu in respect to the concerns of its
customers. He could only say he was sorry for what had
occurred. He feared there was something of pre-
cipitation in the matter, which he considered too
small in itself to be a cause of reflection, either on
the Eastern Counti. s Railway Company or on the
bank. There had been something of an irregularity
on the part of the railway company, hut when the im-
portance and value of that company was taken into con-
sideration he thought it was to be regretted that their
cheque had not been cashed. He hoped, however, to see
the Eastern Counties Railway again among the customers
of the bank. and the unpleasantness forgotten. He wished
u, take that opportunity of stating that the capital of the
bank had been completed, the reserve fund increased, and
that they were now in a state of considerable presperity. Al
for the subject of clearing it had now become a public
right, and public measures ought to be taken to
secure to joint-stock hanks a privilege which was
now only enjoyed by private bankers. The subject
of half-yearly meetings was one in which the directors
would be guided by the opinion of the proprietors. they now
met at the period set forth in their deed.
Mr.MAWDE6LY was of opinion that the dividend meeting
should take place in January instead of March, and that the
report and accounts should be circulated among the proprie-
tors a week beforehand. He was also of opinion that, in
consequence of what bad taken place at the Bank of Liver-
pool, a resolution should be passed, refusing to afford ars-
commodation to the friends or relatives of tie director+ or
manager, unless they had adequate cover in the hand' of the
bank for the advances made to them.
The CHAIRMAN considered it would be inconvenient to
hasten the meetings ; and the reason the report was not pre-
viously circulated was to prevent any traffic from taking
place in shares. The accounts were to be seen iu the secre-
tary's office. He considered that their circulation before the
period of meeting would be a most injudicious! proceeding..
With regard to a suggestion that no money should •be ad-
vanced on mines or colonial or home produce, he said it
would be very desirable that such should be the case. He
thought, with reference to Mr. Mawdesly's suggestion.
that the question of the security on which money ought to
be advanced should be left to the directors.

The report was then adopted.
A resolution was then moved by Mr. Witiour, embodying
the substance of his suggestions, namely, that the board of
directors be recomm•nded to call half-yearly meetings ; to
cause the dividend nr etinga to be held as early in the year
as poesible ; and to direct that at each general meeting the
minutes of the previous meeting should be read. The reso-
lution was carried ; and was followed by the confirmation to
their seats at the board of the two gentlemen elected by the
directors, and the reelection of Mr. Burmester. Mr. Gibes,
and Mr. Harvey, the directors retiring by rotation. Some
complimentary votes concluded the procedings.
