The 011AIEXAN in moving the adoption of the report and
accounts referred to the position of the bank at the lad
meeting, and claimed moth* for having justly paled
at that period a gradual improvement in Muleo. Trade
had, he said, evidently pioneered with the gradual im-
provement in the political condition of Mexico.
The board bad seen no room to change their
opinion with regard to the brush at Bogote,reect=

and the money would be better employed elsewhere. There
was 88,0001. in actual cash at the bank, and the &polio
stood at • higher amount thee before the bank unfortunately
suffered from temporary discredit. The lAVIIIIIID4II4II would
on that day yield a meet of 2,0001. The helium ree
current account bad been reduced by 100,0001. The
stead,y progress of the mime could not but be eatielaa
tory to the shareholders. (Chun.)
Mr. H. Cuomo,, deputy clubman, in second the
motion, made, as one of the liquidate!' of the u-
miak a statement with respect to the progress ef the
liquidation, which he said, -bad been effected at a very
moderate cost, ad that that after the liquidation bad ter-
minated the Marta dere would be summoned to receive
a anal statement of the accounts.
The motion was carried unanimously, without any pre-
view discusion, and a dividend of 10.. per share, being at
the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, was declared for the
halfyear.

The bankrupt was a wholesale jeweller end dealer in
ltirminshoun and Sheffield wares, carrying on business in
lioundsditch. He owes to unsecured creditors 2,88 CU. ;
