SECOND REPORT
Ordinary General Meeting of Proprietors at the London
GEORGE
avern on Tuesday, the 10th inst.
P. KITSON, Esq., in the Chair.
8 The Directors in their first Report to the Shareholders
submitted the accounts of the Association to the 31st Do-
ll Faber, 1864, proposing that the financial year should ter-
_ mate on the 30th of June in each year ; and they there-
,ore DOW furnish the Proprietors with the Balance-sheet
seethe 30th June, 1865, together with the Profit and Loss
mit for the six months to that date, both duly audited.
Since the Gelneral Meeting held on the 28th February
high cumin ast tho Directors
tentio have added to the Board gentlemen of
mercial standing and influence ; and pursuant to
Lns expressed, they appointed a General Manager in
b9ndon, but the result not being in accordance with the
i?'ectors' : expectations, the appointment has been tormt-
-1:
;!_tel-!aged, and the matter of securing the services of another
r engages attention.
Although the six months ending 30th Juno last cannot
IZ-.for 'various reasons, amongst them the reduction in the
iel° of cotton consequent on the cessation of hostilities in
rica, and the loss of crops through the inundations in
ReirurkeY—he considered to have been favourable for the
orations of the Company, yet it will be seen from tho Profit and Loss Account that the gross profits for the half-
VI. wore .£23,292 19s. Bd., which, with £6,833 165.,
balance of last account, enables the directors, after payment
of all all
preliminary
en. rrent expenses, to propose that £959 85. be written
expenses, £2,000 put to the Reserve Fund,
44(1 X 18,079 14s. (less a small amount for rebate) carried
over to meet any losses which may result from the sus-
11t alt
Pension of payment by their Agents at Smyrna, Stephen
ass and Anthony Pittaco, which the Directors regret
to announce occurred in May last.
ouStnThe Directors duly despatched a representative to
yrna to take charge of the Branch, and to arrange all
outstanding matters ; and from information received they
have every reason for believing that the losses will be
more than covered by the sum now carried over ; but until
they are in a position to state definitely the exact amount
of loss, they consider it prudent to recommend to the pro-
prietors the carrying forward of the whole sum rather than
declare a dividend on the present occasion.
The Directors have to state, in conclusion, that certain
arrangements are in view, which, if completed, and the
operations of the Company bo not entirely confined to the
Turkish Empire, must materially advance the interests of
the shareholders ; and they have still full confidence in the
future prosperity of the Association.
Two Directors, Frederick Harrison, Esq., and F. B. Ren-
shaw, Esq., retire at this meeting, and, being eligible, offer
themselves for re-election.

THE RESCUE SOCIETY wishes to add another
home to the 12 now in operation. Last year no fewer
ihan 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected trom
want of FUNDS and room, making s total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in five years. Here are brief details of a few
of the most recent cases:
F. F., aged 16, fallen, mother dead, deserted by her father.
K A. F., aged 13, homeles4, both parents dead.
A. 8., aged 17, fallen, father dead, deserted by her mother
S. D., aged 15, fallen, mother dead.
C. 8., aged 15, fallen, mother dead,
A. 8., aged 16, Callen, both parents dead.
S., aged 14, homeless, deserted by her parents,
M. 11., aged 17, fallen, both parents dead.
C. H., aged 17, fallen, both parents dead.
A. G., aged 18, fallen, father dead.

S. B. aged 17, fallen, both part nts dead.
M. Al W., aged 17, fallen, both parents dead.

have been led astray from the path of virtue.
Contributions will be received gratefully by the Secretary,
Mr. Daniel Cooper, 85, Queen .street, Cheapside; or by Messrs
