—Yesterday. (Monday) the thirteenth general annual
meeting of the shareholders of the Union Bank was held
at tho Clarendon-rooms, for the purpose of receiving the
directors' report. There was a very numerous attend-
ance of proprietors. Edgar Garston, Esq., occupied the
chair. Mr. Lister, the manager, read the report, which
stated that the directors, at their last meeting, had ex.
pressed a hope to have an increase in the surplus fund
from y ear to year, hut the calamities in which the,com-
mercial world had been involved had caused them, in-
-lead of adding to the surplus fund, to take from it that
year 20,0001. The paid-up capital was 300,0001, the
number of shareholders, 269. On the 31st December,
1846, the reerved surplus was 50,000/. to which add the
oft profit fir the year 1847, 42,2771. 13s. 2d.; total,

debts, 19,0681. 9s. Id , and for the present reserved sur-
plus fund, 20,0001.; total, 39,0681 9s. Id., which de-
ducted, leaves the present reserved surplus fund 30.000 L
The directors recommend that the rate of interest in

the surplus fund should amount to 60,0001. The report
was adopted, and resolutions in accordance with the
suggestions of the board unanimously agreed to.—

[ADVERTlSBMENT.]—Extraordinary Cure of a
Disordered Liver and Stomach, by Holloway's Pills.—
"To Professor Holloway. Sir,—Seeing that the Earl of
Aldborough was cured of a liver and stomach complaint
by means of your Pills, I was induced to try them ; and
I have the satisfaction to inform you that your Pills have
certainly in a very short time done wonders for me in a
similar complaint, when calomel and other medicines at
last failed to give me any relief. I send you my name
and address, but would rather you would not make them
public." N.B. This communication is from a counsellor
or barrister of great eminence of the Inner Temple,
whose letter would be shown to any respectable person.—
