Th;!! Secretary (T. B Smrrx, Esq r ;Li
the notice calling the meeting,

On the motion of 'F. LAMIE MURRAY, Esq., se-
conded by It. SUTTON, jun., Eiq., GEORGE MOFFATT,
was called to the chair.

The CuAtem.ma said he believed their first business
would be to read the Report of the Directors, of the
transactions of the Company for the year ending the
31st December last.

The Secretary then read the Report as follows :
REPORT

Of the Directors of the National Bank of Ireland, made
to the Proprietors at the Fourth Annual General Meet-

ing, held 'at the Office of the Company, No. 13, Old
Broad-street, London, on Wednesday, May 22, 1839.
In the Report submitted to the Proprietors at the last An-
nual General Meeting, particular reference was madc to the
,tern upon which the Branches of the National Bank of
Ireland had been formed, and to the alteration found to
be essential to the permanent prosperity of the Company.
A change involving the interests and prejudices of a
numerous and influential body of Local Shareholders has
necessarily been attended with considerable difficulty, but
the Directors felt the importance of persevering in the
attainment of an object which, after the most mature deli.
beration, was deemed certain to advance the general wel-
fare of the Establishment, they have now much satisfac-
tion in being able to report that the conversion of the
Local Stock leas been successfully effected at all the
Branches of the Company, with the exception of two; and
although the change can scarcely be considered to have
had a fair trial during the process of consolidation, yet
the result is marked by such augmentation of profits as
elearly demonstrates the soundness of the principle by
which the Directors have been governed, in abandoning
tha system upon which the Bank was originally formed
for cue securing more simplicity in the working—a more
eorswlPte controul in the Administration—arid a more
pe,fi.c, unity of interest and action in the general con-
nection.

St-t..a the last Annual General Meeting. the Kanturk
Ant:i.7 has been formed into a branch. and the several
ag-e,...icts which had been opened at Killarney, Dingle.
Ta:bert, Rathkeale, Banagber, and Cahirciveen, have been
d ued.

T'ie Directors have kept a watchful eye upon the •arious
and extensive fluctuations that have occurred in the value
of Irish produce, and although anxious that every reason.
able accommodation and facility should be aff ,rded for all
legitimate purposes of Commerce, they have been careful to
discourage the tendency evinced to rash speculation
during a season of unusually high prices.
The natural resources of Ireland are daily becoming
?acre developed, and there cannot be a doubt that the intro-
duction of capital by Joint Stock Banks, his in a great
mer.lure tended to promote this state of improvement, by
affording to Commerce and Agriculture those e)-seutiAl
facilities which had so long been required, and while these
Establishments are conducted upon safe• and liberal princi
plea it can scarcely be doubted that they will continue to
receive such encouragement and support as will enable
them to prove more remunerative to their Proprietors,
when the Legislature shall have introduced such amend
silents in the law affecting Joint Stock Banks, as will
admit of their extending their usefulness to other Districts.
In conclusion, the Directors have much satisfaction in
stating that the general business of the Bank has increased,
whilst an important reduction has been effected in the
expenditure, and they novv beg to submit to the Proprie-
tors the following statement for the past year :
Undivided profits at 31 Dec. 1137 £ 403 11 0
Net profits for the year ending Dec. 1883 22,796 11 6

23,202 0 6
Deduct half-year's dividend to Proprie-
tors at Midsummer, 1638 £8,750
Ditto, ditto, at Christmas, 1838 8,750

17,500 0 0

Leaving amount of undivided profits at
Dec. 183, ... £5,702 9 II
From the foregoing it will appear that notwithstanding
the low rate of Interest which has obtained since the last
Report, and after deducting all ordinary expenses, paying
the proportion of Preliminary charges (the residue of which
will be cleared off next December) and making an ample
provision for all bad debts, the Directors were enabled to
pay a Dividensi of five per cent., and to add the sum of
6,211,11. 11s. SI. to the Shareholders' Reserve Fund,
tiaore'ey showing, in the course of one year, so great an
improvement in the affairs of the Company, as to warrant
the Directors not only to express their continued confi-
ience in the prosperity of the Establishment, but their firm
conviction that the future profits will be considerably aug-
mented by its increasing connections and the important
change which has been effected in its constitution.
There are now to be elected Four Directors in the
room of
GILOROB MOPPATT, Zsq.
1 MAcaten O'CoNNELL, Esq., M.P.
KORRIT St.yrox, jun., Esq., and
E. F. Gozcv, Esq.
I w:!.-. retire by rotation, all of whom are Candidates for the
. office, and eligible to be re-elected.
The Cstatatfax—Perhaps the concluding paragraph
is that which first calls for the attention of the Pro-
prietors, namely, that four of the Directors go out of
eilice, who are now eligible for re-election. As I hap-
pen to be one of these, I be; to move that Colonel
Stanhope do take the chair.
Colonel STANHOPE having taken the chair,
A Proprietor (C. BIANCONI, Esq.), said that hav-
ing had before them abundant evidence of the zeal and
lutiV7 of the four Directors who had retired by rota-
tioo, he felt much pleasure in moving their re-electien
to ills Board of Directors.
Tits motion having been seconded was carried una-
;omously.
Mr. MOFFATT having resumed the chair, said, that
I.ivirg heard the Report read, it would now be his duty
to •oilimit it for the adoption of the meeting. It
tioL4at be as well, however, if he, in the first instance,
,I:!=•rted somewhat more fully to the very flourishing
= --iition of the affairs of the Company.—(Hear, hear. )
i., loin; so he should begin with the beginning—he
meant the alteration that had lately taken place in the
onstitution of the Bank. Short as the period was since
hat alteration had taken place, it had been found to work
•'.x..reincly well—the result,however, was much more fully
..nd satishetorily expressed in the figures contained in the
Report that had just been laid before them.—(Hear,
hear.) That would more satisfactorily show them the
large increase that had taken place in the receipts and
other transactions of the Bank, than any statement he
could offer to them. In making that alteration he
would observe, that they had been especially careful to
retain the local proprietary. That was one of the most
judicious and beneficial features of the original system.
It had been the anxious wish of the Directors to follow
out that system, which would secure to them more effi-
cient management and controul, and to the Proprietorsge-
nerally, more profitable results. The consequence was,
that while on the 31st of December, 1837, they had
only 294 shareholders, on the 31st of December, 1838,
they had I,2lB.—(Hear, hear.) The Directors felt
satisfied that there could not be a better proof of the
strong hold they had taken in the affections and interests
if their customers, and the people of Ireland generally,
than the fact that, at December last, their circulation
showed an increase, as compared with the corresponding
period of the previous year, of more than 25 per cent.
There is also a yet more gratifying circumstance con-
nected with the increasing prosperity of the establish-
ment, which is, that the deposits have increased on a
comparison of the two periods, at least 50 per cent.
That was, perhaps, the most satisfactory announcement
that could be made to the Proprietors, as it showed
how large a share of public confidence they already
enjoyed.—(Cheers.)
A PROPRIRTOR—I suppose there is some statement
on the table to show the amount of the deposits, and the
circulation of the Bank.
The CHAIRMAN said there was. In the year 1837
the net profits were 5,9981., and in the year ending
December, 1838, they were 22,7961.—(Hear, and
cheers.) Besides, it should be borne in mind, that the
preliminary expenses of the establishment were still with-
drawing some portion of their net profits, but the..e
would be all cleared off in the present )ear.
A PROPRIETOR—It is mentioned in the Report that
ieo.lliderable reduction has taken place in the expendi..
;Ir.. May I ask in what &pertinent ?
l'he SECRRTARY—In the general expenses of ma.
nagement.
The Cu/dal/AN—The reductions effected have been
calculated up to the 31st of December last, and they
arnoant to 3,0001. current expenses.
A raorate•rox—As con-limed with the previous
year ?
The CHAIRMAN—Yes . • and as I before remarked,
with the present year our
preliminary expenses entirely
I cse. Before I sit down I may mention a circum-
stance of which, perhaps, some few of our Proprietors
are not informed, although it has made some stir in Ire-
load. There was a pressure upon flee Bank for gold
in the spring of the present year, The demand and the
sircumstatlees that gave rise to it. were purely and en-
tirely local. It was °paned to ens of our Branches,

and did not even spread into t te Litricts connected 'via,
it—l allude to the capital of the South of Irela (1,
ork. Tiie demand, however, was promptly met, and
we experienced an anxious desire on all hands to up-
port us. If the demand had heon ton times what waF.
it could have been ja,t us effigy i-ntly and as prcimp at"'

A PROPRIETOR—It was productive of benefit to the
Bank ultimately.
The CHAIZIMAN—I was just about to make that re-
mark. It wit productive of ultimate good to the Bank,
for it increased the confidenre of the public in the sta-
b, ty and reiources of the Establishment. But, lam
,orr} to say. it tv ,s not productive of good to the par
ties who made. the demand for gold. It had the bad
effect of forcing down the price of produce for the time,
and so far it was prejudicial. I may also observe, in
conformity with a statement made by our Chairman at
the last annual meeting, that wherever Branches were
found not only not incurring loss, but not producing a
profit to the Company, they have been discontinued. In
pursuance of that pledge, six sub-agencies which had not
occasioned us any loss, bat were not productive of
profit, have been discontinued.
A PROPRIETOR—How many Branches have been
discontinued, and what are the names ?
The CHAIRMAN—Six have been discontinued.
The SECRETARY—They are not branches, but sub-
agencies, and they are enumerated in the Report.
The PROPMETOR—How many branches have we
now .

The SECRETARY—Thirty-six branches.
The CHAIRMAN—It should also be recollected that
during the last year money bore a very low rate of in..
terest. Of course the higher rate of interest that is now
obtained will, on a future occasion, exhibit more satis-
factory results.
A PROPRIETOR—WiII an increase in the rate of in-
terest affect the transactions of the Bank in Ireland ?
The CHAIIINI AN—Certainly.
A PnorataTos.-1-lave we not been charging six per
cent. in some cases ?
The CHAlRMAN—Unquestionably, where the parties
have derived corresponding advantqfes and accommo-
dation. The rate at which money can be obtained is
always somewhat lower in Dublin than in the country,
but the interest is always governed by the rate of in-
terest in the London market. In conclusion, I have
only to express on behalf of the Governor (Daniel
O'Connell, Esq., M.P.) his regret that he could not be
here to preside at your meeting this day, being called to
Ireland by very urgent and important business.—
(Hear, hear.)
A P ROPRIETOR—Before the Report is adopted, may
I ask if we shall have any statement of the assets and
liabilities of the Bank laid before us ?
The CHAIRMAN—I believe none of the Joint Stock
Banks publish any detailed statements of that sort•
They are open to the inspection of any gentleman, but
they will not he published,
A PROPRIUTOR sail it would be desirable to know
whether there was any probability of either of the two
branches to which allusion was made in the Report
coming into the general plan, or whether any negotia-
tions were still on foot for that purpose.
The CHAIRMAN could answer with regard to one of
them, that. there was every probability of its coming into
the views of the London Court of Directors. As re-
garded the other, he believed one of its Directors was
present, and he could answer the question more antis-
factoriiy. The London Court had no other object in
view but to promote the interests of all the share-
holders.—( Hear, hear.)
A PaorataToa wished to know whether the change
that had lately taken place in the constitution of the
Bank had increased the number of shares. He under-.
stood that there were 20,000 previous to the alteration
The SECRETARY--.NO, the local stock became an-
nihilated by being converted into London shares.
A PROPRIETOR-4 wish to know whether the Di-
rectors have taken any steps with regard to the Char-
ter of the Bank of Ireland, because that is a most im-
portant point to know.
The CHAIRMAN said the Directors were also im-
pressed with the conviction that it was a most important
question, but they had not taken 'any active steps in
the matter of late. They had been in communication
with Mr. O'Connell on the subject, and the letter he
(the Chairman) had received from him that morning
so completely embodied the views of the Directors, that
he perhaps could not do better than read an extract
from it.—(Hear, hear.)
The PROPRIETOR thought it would be very desir-
able to hear the sentiments of Mr. O'Connell on the
subject of the Charter of the Bank of Ireland.
The CHAIRMAN then read the following extract from
Mr. O'Connell's letter :

" You ask my opinion as to bringing forward the
question of the monopoly of the Bank of Ireland, and I
candidly confess to you, that strongly opposed as I am
upon first principles to the continuance of the mono-
poly, I deem it premature to discuss the question until
the intentions of the Government are known. Nobody
imagines it to be within the range of possibility that the
present system should continue, such continuance being
out of the question. Some substitute must be found in
order to satisfy the rights of the stock-holders, and
their claims on Government for the repayment_ of the
loans. Such substituted plan can and ought to be
altogether free from the taint of monopoly, and we are
not to anticipate that it will be otherwise. In short,
there must be a new plan of some kind—a Charter,
preventing personal liability, hut not including any mo-
nopoly, would of course be valuable to the stockholders
of the Bank. Yet until we know what the new plan is
to be I think any discussion would be premature, as it
must turn upon a suppositious case—a case which may
never arise. I\l3 conclusion plainly is, that for the
present we should be silent on this topic, and re-
serve all our strength, and all our argument, to oppose
any absurd or mischievous attempt to continue the
baneful off, ets of the existing power of the Bank of Ire.
land if any such attempt should he in contemplation."
A PROPRISTOR thought the statements in that letter
must be very satisfactory to the shareholders.
The CHAIRMAN would only add, that the Directors
entertained sanguine hopes that Government had it in
contemplation to place the Banking system in Ireland
on a sound and free basis.
A PROPRIETOR asked if the Charter of the Bank
of Ireland did not expire in the present year?
The CHAIRMAN said the Charter had expired, but
had been renewed for one year, which would lapse on
the 31st December, 1839. He had only now, in con-
clusion, to congratulate the Proprietors not only on the
very favourable Report that had just been laid before
them, but also that they were able to call them
together in a house of their own.—(Hear, hear.)
In fact, everything was as flourishing and as prosperous
as the most earnest well wishers of the Bank could
desire.—(Cheers.)
A PROPRIETOI (C. Bianconi, Esq.), if he was not
out of order, would be glad to answer a question that
had been asked relative to their circulation. He had
seen a very important document, the official return from
the Stamp Office of the circulation of the Provincial
Bank and the National Bank of Ireland, placed parallel
to one another. It was a return for the year 1837, just
one year and a half previous to the present time, and
it showed, that, although the National Bank had not been
established for ten years after the formation of the Pro-
vincial Bank, the circulation of the National Bank was
within about 24,000/. of that of the Provincial.—
(Hear, hear.) He thought the Proprietors, therefore,
had just ground for congratulation, not only in the in-
creased and increasing prosperity of the Bank, but also
in the increased confidence which the people of Ireland
had evinced in it, and their anxiety to join in the ad-
vancement of what they considered their mutual inte-
rests. He felt satisfied if the Parliamentary returns were
seen now, they would show that the National Bank had
a very considerable circulation over that of the Provin-
cial Bank.—( Hear, hear.)
Another PROPRIETOR (Fowler Newsam, Esq.), said
he was sure the Shareholders must be very much
(ibiged to the D rectors for the satisfactory report that
had just been laid before their, and for the readiness
with which they had answered all the question, that
had been pot to them. If he understood the statement
that had been made, the amount of undivided profits in
1837, was 4051., and the amount in December, 1838,
after paying the dividends of 5 per cent., was 5,7001.;
after deducting for preliminary expenses, and all other
charges.

The SECRETARY—And providing liberally for all bad
and doubtful debts.
Mr. NEwsalt—And their circulation had increased
25 per cent, beyond what it was the previous year. All
that was highly satisfictory. ♦t their last Annual
Meeting the Chairman had informed them, that the
profts were increasing from the month of December,

when the accounts were made up, to the period st whi&,
they met. He wnuld be glad if the Shareholders could
receive any intimation to that effect now.

The CHAIRMAN said they were increasing in the same
ratio as last year.—( Hear, hear.)

Mr. NEWEAM said the whole of the details laid before
the Mi eting were so cheering and satisfactory, that he
only regretted that they had not a more numerous meet-
ing of the Shareholders to hear the statements. He
wished that some plan could be devised to give greater
publicity to the meetings, for some of his own friends
who would have attended, were entirely ignorant of it ;
and it was merely by accident he himself had heard of it.
The CHAIRMAN said the Court were much obliged to
him for his suggestion, and they would in future send a
short circular to the Shareholders in London, precious
to the Annual Meetings.
A PROPRIETOR would be glad to know whether the
Directors could give the meeting any pledge that the
dividend would be paid as before ?
The CHAIRMAN could say, as his own personal con-
viction, and without the slightest hesitation, that the di-
vidend would be regularly paid, and certainly would not
be less than it had been last year.—(Hear.)

The question, that the Report be adopted, printed,
and circulated among the proprietors, was then put and
carried with acclamation.

A PROPRIETOR said he was afraid they were asking
too many questions, but it was very desirable that the
Shareholders should be satisfied on every point. He
wished to know whether the bad debts had been taken
into account. At the last meeting a certain proportion
of profits had been set aside for that contingency, and
he wished to know whether, in the accounts just sub-
mitted to them, any provision had been made for bad
debts?

The CHAIRMAN said their estimates for bad debts
were governed by the same principle they had adopted
in 1837.

A PROPRIETOR—Has it been found that your calcu-
lations for bad debts have been well-grounded ?
The SECRETARY—In some cases debts which had
been written off as bad in the previous year have since
been recovered.—(Hear.)
A PEOPRIXTOR (Mr. Hutchinson) suggested whether,
as the affairs of the Bank were so flourishing, they might
not make a dividend of six per cent.
Mr. BIANCONI said he would object decidedly to such
a proposition. Five per cent. was a very fair allowance
for their money when the Bank was only yet in an infant
state. They should recollect that the Rest was as yet
comparatively small, and it should be their object by
increasing that fund, to secure the permanency and sta-
Mity of an institution which was so deeply connected
with the best interests of the country.—(Hear, hear.)
Until their reserved fund was much larger he hoped the
question would not be entertained. There was another
point to which he wished to allude. He would be glad
to know whether some plan might not be devised to hold
the annual meetings after the books were closed in June?

The CHAIRMAN would he happy to meet the views of
the Proprietor, but the Deed was clear upon that point,
and they must hold their annual meeting on the fourth
Wednesday in May.
MICHAEL O'BRIEN, Esq., s3id, as an Irish Shareholder,
he could bear testimony that in the agricultural districts
of that country their Bank had been productive of a vast
deal of good.—( Hear, hear.) During the four years
the Bank had been in operation in that agricultural dis-
trict it had done an immensity of good, and he was
happy to say it had never lost one penny.—(Cheers.)
He alluded to the district of Mitchelstown, where they
had discounted upwards of 300,000/., without having
sustained any loss whatever. The people of that part
of the country were fully aware of their obligationi to
the National Bank, and he could assure the meeting
that through it the value of property had been consi-
derably enhanced.—( Hear, and cheers.)

A PROPRIETOR said there was a rumour that they
had very heavy debts to meet in Cork. Had they been
provided for in the account just stated to the meeting ?

The CHAIRMAN said most of the Shareholders were
aware that the London Court had not been satisfied
with the management at Cork, and that the Manager
had been removed. In the anticipation that certain
losses might occur, they had made provision for them
in the present balance sheet. He would tell them
fairly, that some of these losses had occurred, but not
to the extent they had anticipated.

A. PILOPItIETOIt---13 it understood that these losses
have been so far provided for, that they will not affect
the dividend for the present year.
The CHAIRMAN—I have already given an intimation
that they will not affect the dividend for the present
year. I am not warranted i❑ giving anything more
than a personal opinion, but there need be no apprehen-
sion on the subject.
A PROPRIETOR—Perhaps the Chairman would state
what the amount of the loss is, to prevent any erroneous
impression going abroad.
The CHAIRMAN-It would be difficult to state what
the exact amount of the losses were ; and although I
have gone into many minor details, it is not customary to
answer these questions at public meetings.—(Hear,
hear.) I will state, however, that a sum of 10,0001.
has been reserved to meet any losses that may occur at
Cork.—( Hear, hear.)

A PROPRIETOR—And if there be no considerable

loss—
The CHAIRMAN—Your profit will be by so much the

larger.

A PROPRIETOR ( Wheeler, Esq.), said the affairs
of the National Bank had been always conducted, so
far as he had been able to ascertain, on the broadest, and
pl tirwst, and soundest, principles, having nothing whatever
to conceal. He believed it was still corylucted on the same
principles, and on that account he would beg to ask
whether the Proprietors could have access to a distinct
and succinct statement of the affairs of the Company.
It would be matter of very great satisfaction to him, if
, no objection was made from the other side of the table,
and that he could receive the intimation that such a
statement was accessible to the Shareholders.
Another PROPRIETOR (James Hutchinson, Esq.)
said, before the Chairman answered the question, he
would just remark that he thought the plan proposed
would be attended with some danger, if the balance
sheet and books of the Company were thrown open
promiscuously. He apprehended, however, that if any
Member made a special request, and gave a pledge that
he would make no extracts from the balance sheet,
there would be no objection to show the accounts of the
Bank. He recollected at their meeting a year ago,
Mr. O'Connell invited the gentlemen present to come
and examine the books whenever they pleased ; that he
thought was an injudicious and dangerous plan, because
any party could easily qualify himself as a Shareholder,
and then convey information to a rival establishment.
The CHAIRMAN entirely concurred in the propriety
of the Shareholders being allowed to inspect the details
referred to.—( Hear.) He still, however, remained of
opinion, that they ought not to be published, although
they would be open to the inspection of any Proprietor
who wished to examine them. The results, however,
were already before them, and they could draw their
own conclusions.—( Heas, hear.)
Mr. WHEELER said he was fully satisfied with the
answer of the Chairman.
The SECRETARY said he would be most happy to
afford every information in his power to any gentleman
who called upon him the following or any subsequent
day.—( Hear.)
A PROPRIETOR (Mr. Fox, of Ipswich) asked whether
they anticipated that a sum of 10,0001. would be re-
quired to be set aside for bad debts at Cork for the
present year ?
The CHAIRMAN saw no probability of any such de-
mand being made upon their funds. It was impossible
to say what was in the womb of time, but at present
there was not the most remote probability of it.
A PROPRIETOR (Mr. FOWLER NIWIAM) said he
elt particularly happy in proposing a vote of thanks
to the Chairman and Directors, for the zeal
and ability they had shown in the management
of the concerns of the Company. He was happy
to have an opportunity of stating that their unvarying
attention had been the theme of universal approbation
out of doors —(Cheers.) He had much satisfaction,
therefore, in proposing the warm and cordial thanks of
the Proprietors to the Chairman and Directors.
The motion having been seconded by Mr. WHEELER,
was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks. He felt
confident that the Proprietors would not be insensible to
the exertions of the Directors, and without saying too
much for themselves, he would venture to state that
they had deserved it. No men could look more anx-
iously to the interests of the concern, and they bad on
all occasions acted as if it was their own, and exclu-
sively their own. The Directors fully appreciated the
kind mark of their favour that had just been bestowed,
and would endeavour to merit its continuance.
The meeting then separated.
