I(.INK OF AL'STRALASIA.-(THIS DAY.)

'the hell-yearly muting of the shareholders
can Iv id at 1 o'clock, at the offices, 4, Threadneedle-
t, ,•t. Mr. E. W. T. MAYILTON, M.P., in the chair.

The following report was preirented;
The directors have to report that, during the put Rix
1...0da, the operations of the bank have proceeded saatis-
I The effects of the commercial depression in
Australia, adverted to iu the last report, have not entirely
I :lased away, but the greater firmness in the London wool
auuket is calculated to revive confidence, and to create
flereaseal demand for banking accommodation ; and the
alarectona are happy to say that the managers of branches
already speak hopefully of the prospects of trade, and
early improvement in the value of pastoral property.
The retirement of Mr. J. J. Falconer on account of
declining health haft been announced, and the directors
will have the pleasure of proposing to the proprietors at
this meeting, that a suitable retiring allowance be granted
to him in recognition of his valuable services in Australia
during a period of 24 years. Anxious to avail themselves
f Mr. Falconer's long experience, and his intimate know-
ledge of the affairs and connections of the bank, the
cetera have made a temporary arrangement to secure
I advice and co-operation at the meetings of the court,
nal on the very first vacancy they will submit his name to
the proprietors for election as a director. The dividend
nal bonus will be the same as at April last, making to-
_ User 24 per share, which is at the rate of 10 per cent.
1. r annum, free of income tax. It will be advertised as
a alai at the proper time, and will be payable on Tuesday,
U: e 12th October next."

Ihe eIIAIIIXAN in moving the adoption of the report,
by referringi to the last meeting, and stated
that the directors proposed to pay another dividend of 21.
,r tautrr, which would absorb 60,0001., and leave 2,0001.
1, he carried over. Since the last meeting nothing had
...coned to lead to the belief that the losses previously
ationed would be exceeded; but it must not be slip-
-1-,41 that they were about to return to high profits. The
• n.is of 1866 still left its effects ; and it was no exaggers-
-11..n to say that the depression of the great centres of
I • Won and Paris extended to all parte of the commercial
..rld. There were universal complaints of a want of
*.,lequate demands for bankingaccommodation. There were,
I,,tacver, two favourable symptoms, one the recovery in the
pn., of wool in the London market, the other the cease,
11. 41 of an extreme depreciation of property generally in
the colonies. The recent recovery in the price of wool
'afforded good ground of hope to all connected with oolo-
mal enterprise. In the Australian group of colonies none
Ind drawn so wildly= the future as Queensland. A
public debt had been incurred of 3,000,0001. sterling, and
the private mortgages were, he believed, of equal amount.
hecent advises showed that the rich soil of Aus-
tralia had yielded great results in that colony, and
:Jest pro my might be anticipated. The hon. gentle-
man then referred to recent advices in support of this
View; one statement made in them bang that, whereas
last year the whole export of gold was only 37,000 ounces,
in the first quarter of the present year the amount
was 30,000. Ile then alluded to hew Zealand, and
said that many of the accounts had been weeded, and
business had been placed on a better foundation.
In reply toe question from Mr. Hawn,
The CHAIRMAN said he believed that the reserve was
aticient to cover all past losses.
Mr. Bons: =Tended the motion, which, after a short
c•-..ussion, was agreed to.
