The following report was presented :
The Directors have the pleasure of submitting to the Share-
holders a statement of the affairs of the Company, on 31st
December last, together with an abstract of the profit and
loss account, which shows a net profit of 7,7661. 14s. 10d.
after the payment of current expenses, and providing for bad
and doubtful debts.

Th.) Directors recommend that a dividend of three shillings
Per share on the original shares, with a proportionate divi•
dead. of threepence per share on the deposit upon tie new
shares, together amounting to 6,3761. 6s. 3d., be declared,
and the balance, 1,3901. 9s. 7d,, be carried forward to next
iteeou,ut. ' It'ie: suggested that the liquidation. of the
,preli-
minary expenses shall be spread over a series of years; no
appropriation towards them is proposed at this early period,
but they have been held in view in the amount of the balance
to be carried over.

The Directors have to express to the Shareholders their
satisfaction with the progress of the business, the bills dis-
counted to 31st December having amounted to 5,926,413/.
, 16s. Id., and the number of accounts opened being 845. The
resifts would have been still more favourable but for the sud-
den. advance in the rate of interest in October and the great
scarcity of money which has since prevailed. It must also
be kept in mind that the growth of every business is gradual,
' anct the forming a connexion a work of time, while the ex-
Penises of an efficient establishment aro immediate, yet indis-
Pentsable. The capabilities of the office have been necessarily
adapted to transactions of a much greater extent, but as the
bu.sdness increases the expenses will each year become a com-
Paratively lighter burden on the profits.
Besides tho difficulties incident to every new undertaking,
the. Directors have had to encounter those peculiar to, and
contsequent upon, this Company being the first formed for
!al Tying on large monetary operations under the Limited Lia-
bility Act; but they believe an opinion is gaining ground—
lAlch an examination of the List of Shareholders is well cal-
,lllated to strengthen—that the new law of Limited Liability,
bT attracting a superior class of Proprietors, and through the
odium of a large subscribed capital, will afford to the public
a degree of security which recent events have shown not to
aye been always insured by the old law.
The Direetors are glad to have the opportunity of confirm-
thehigh opinion they have already expressed of the ability
lH sid knowledge of the managers, and of bearing testimony to
the efficiency of the secretary and the other officers.
The Offices at present occupied by the Company, though
nAleiently central, are most inconvenient, and the access to
rein has been much complained of ; but the Directors are
in being able to announce that, after several protracted
and ineffectual negotiations, they have at length secured a
rnorit eligible sae in Cornhill, on which they propose to erect
a twailding which will afford suitable accommodation for the
bus thess of the Company.
'The Directors who retire on this occasion, in conformity
with' the terms of the Deed of Settlement, aro W. P. Andrew,
J. U. Ellis, Esq., F. W. Russell, Esq., M.P., and J. R.
el "asert, Esq., who being eligible offer themselves for re-
action.
The Directors in conclusion, trust they may be permitted
to remind the shareholders that the further success of the
C°l4tionsPanY. mty hs very much promoted by their individual
exer
