Raving thus brought before the meeting the results of the
Past year, and of the two quinquennial periods, closed at the
date of balance, the Directors defer any further remarks on
the Company's position and prospects till they have the
pleasure of meeting again in a few weeks, to report the result
of the investigation of the Company's affairs, as at 15th
November, 1855, now in progress; and they trust they will
then be able to show that the business transacted during the
last five years has been profitab'e as well as extensive. The
calculations are far advanced, and a Special Committee has
been appointed to examine the securities and to bring up a
l'oPort en the whole matter, after a thotough investigation of
the Company's assets and liabilities.
