BANK OF EGYPT.

(MEETING THIS DAY.)

At the first annual meeting of the shareholders of the
B Ink of Egypt, held to-day, the subjoined report was
agreed to :
"Tic bank opened fir business at Alexandria on the
7th July last ; and the directors have now the pleasure,
in accordance with the deed of settlement, to submit to
the shareht 'dens a statement of the affairs of the com-
pany ending the 31st of December last. The
audited accounts show a balance. on that date, to the
credit of profit and loss, of 5,9411. o.s. 2d. Favourable
as the above results may be deemed, it must
be borne iu mind not only that the capital of the Bank
could be but partially employed for the first three months,
but al,o that the charges debited agaiost profit and loss
commenced several.months antece lent to the opening of
the Bank fir business, and include all rents, salaries, and
charges of every description in Alexandria up to the 31st
Dec. The paid up capital, at the openin of the Bank,
was 125,0001. ; and the subsequent call of 61 5:4. per
share, payable on the 31st October last, was met with re-
markable punctuality ; the working capital was therefore
125,0001. for four months, and 137,50)/. for two months.
Although a dividend could thus be made, after setting
apart funds for thegralual liquidation of the preliminary
( xpenses, the directors recommend that no division of
proats ghoul' take place until the expiration of twelve
months from the commencement of business, at which
time they propose again to call the proprietors together.
In accordance with the provisions of the deed of settle-
ment, the ciirectots now go out of office and are eligible
for re-election. The auditors named in the deed of set-
tlement were Mr. J. E. Coleman and Mr. G. W. Horn,
and their appointment now rests with the proprietors.
The retiring auditors are eligible for re-election."
