Imperial Bank.—(Meeting this Day.)

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this bank
was held to-day—Mr. James Dickson in the chair.
The report, which was unanimously adopted, stated that,
after defraying the current charges of the bank, amounting,
inclusive of directors' remuneration, and provision for bad
and doubtful debts, to £4,620 9s 9d ; and deducting the sum
of £1,908 10s 8d for rebate of interest on bills discounted
and not yet due, there remained an available balance of
£9,613 155 4d. The directors recommend that a dividend
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, for
the six months ending 31st December, 1863, be declared,
payable to the registered shareholders of the bank at that
date, which will require the sum of £5,000; that the sum
of £3,000 be appropriated to a reserve fund ; and that the
balance, £1,613 16s 4d, be carried forward to credit of profit
and loss new account.

The CHAIRMAN said, in moving the adoption of the re-
port that he ventured to hope that the shareholders would
agree with him that the accounts presented were highly
satisfactory. the gross profits realised during the last six
months represented more than 60 per cent. over those of
the preceding period. This gratifying circumstance was
partly owing to the recent high value of money, but
for all that the accounts testified to an increasing addi-

...
tion of current and deposit business. The chief feature
in their history was their admission to the Clearing.
house, into which no young institution was allowed to
enter till had taken permanent root in the confidence of
the public. The directors had decided upon opening a
branch at Pimlico, in the immediate neighbourhood of
which no other banking establishment existed. The share-
holders expressed their satisfaction at the statement of tho
directors, and votes of thanks were passed in favour of the
board and the managers.
