Nor can the prosperity of Banking operations connected with
those Colonies be better, illustrated than by reference to the
satisfactory Report of the . Directors of the Union Bank of
Australia, presented to the Proprietors at their General Meet-
' ing, on the 3d of February, and by the following extract from
the Rev. Henry Carmichael's Pamphlet on New South Wales,
wherein he observes—" There are at present in Sydney three
Joint Stock Banking Companies in operation, with a paid-up
capitol of abmt 80,000/. each ; which divide a profit 'nnually
of from °O .to 25 per cent. His Excellency Sir James Stirling
also, in Ms recent work on Western Australia, says, in allusion
to the Western Bank of Australia, ~ The second half-year left
a clear profit over the expenditure of 14 and a half per cent., '
which., after setting • aside one-fifth as an accumulating fund,
aecoroling to an existing rule, enabled the Directors to declare a
dilVlend of 11 and a half per cent. on the paid-up capital ;at
the close of the year no dishonoured bill remaining on hand, nor
ad, the Solicitor of the Bank to commence a single suit for the
" tevery of a debt due to it."
