directors whose term in office now expires, are Mr. /then M'Andrew,
Mr. John lioyee, and Mr. John Twiname.—Joas C. Jar., Chairman.
Alter a few remarks from the Chairman, in which he ex-
premed his gratitude (the hon. gentleman had had both legs
Ibroken at the Liverpool and Mancluiter Railway about this
time last year) for his restoration from the accident
Mr. A. Royce, of Southampton, wished the director,
to put the shareholders hi possession of the pre-
cise amount of bail debts incurred within the year
1847, also of what was the original cost to the Bank of the
railway stock it holds, and in what lines, en the Bank might
be 'peculating in foreign lines, such as the Dutch, Rhenialt,
and others.—The Chairman replied that the Bank held no
foreign railway stock; that the Bank did net "speculate.'
in any railway shares ; but when it became necessary to in-
vest its large reserve Lund, the directors deemed there could
be few better investments than the railway properties they
held.—Mr. Ropes again pressed his queries. What amount
had the Bank ia South Easti To shares, and how much
had the Bank's buildings in Castle-street cost them?—
An honourable Proprietor here euggeated that if the meet-
ing had as little contider.ce an Mr. Royce in the manage-
ment, they hail better name new directors. (" No, no."
—Mr. Royts and Mr. Smith both emphatically declaimed
anything approaching to want of confidence ; but considered
the Bank shares would rise in the market, especially after
the highly creditable announcement regarding bad debts,
provided the public knew precisely what their railway invest.
menu were.—Mr. Macgregor reminded the shareholders that
the chairman had profierred, if it were their pleasure, to
answer the questions of his friend, Mr. Roses; that is to
the depreciation in their securities, only look what sou the
I depreciation in all securitles, not only in England, but in all
I Europe, and no man need be surprised at this depreciation.
It was general and inevitable, and he made the gratifying
enaouncement that while the bank's liabilities were (in round
*ambers) only 226,0001 , its saute were as much as 736,0001.
(Rear, hear.) Nor did he deem the depression of the
bank's a
rts • matter to be urprised at—it might offer
an opportunity for the direcstors to absorb shares at the
reduced market price, and se lessen the capital, sod
I perhaps, proportionably augment the dividend. lie tunf
I titer announced that during the last year, a year o
I unexampled commercial embarrassment, the bank had din.
counted to an extent approaching 3,000,0001., and yet had
had greet immunity from bad debts, and concluded by ea
standing the motion.—Mr. 'Joyce, after remarking that ths
1 comparative immunity from bad debts was exceediagly
creditable to the directors and manager, said he should am
an amendment to refer back the report to the directors, to
enter into minuter details relative to the bank's investments.
—Mr. Hoyes' amendment was put, and seconded by Mr.
Smith, when only two hands (the mover's and secoadais)
were held up for it.—The three directors, whose tera of
office had expired, were unanimously re-elected. —A vote al
thanks to the chairman and directors, and a similar vote to
the Teenager, were then carried by acclamation.
