The annual meetiing of the Provincial Bank of
Ireland took place to-day--Sir. W. Minto T. Far-
quhar, Bart., M.P., in the chair. The directors'
report, which was unanimously adopted, referred
at sonic length to the distress in Ireland which had
prevailed since 1859, through the disease in the
potato crop, the scarcity of fuel, and the inactivity
of business in the linen trade, occasioned by the
American war, but notwithstanding this adverse
state of things, the bank had made satisfactory
progress, and the directors were enabled to recom-
men d a dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. The
amount of " rest" in last year's accounts amounted
to £251,693 Bs. 5d., out of which had been deducted
for .dividend, &c., £143,693, to which has been
added during the year from the profit!, of the bank
£111,355 1 ls. 4d., making the "rest" now £255,048
19s. 9(1;• --lit was now recommended to pay an ex-
traordinary dividend of 30s. on each £lOO share,
and 12s. on each £lO share of the capital stock of
the bank, in addition to the ordinary dividend of 4
per cent., making the am ount to be then paid £2
10s on every £lOO share, and £1 on each £lO share
for the half-year ending midsummer next. A
vote of thanks to the directors and officers of the
bank concluded the proceedings. _ _
