annual meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held at
their offices, 38, Old Broad-street, J. J. Cummins, Esq., Chair-

of the branches had wound up unfavourably. No change of im-
portance had then made in the colonial arrangements. There were
bills pa)able to the amount of 78,434., which, with other sinus,
made the liabilities of the Company 194,4781. The paid up capital
of the bank amounted to 820,000/. The balance of undivided profit
up to the end of the year just ended was 43,5681., from which the
Directors recommended a dividend of six per cent. The report was
adopted. Mr. Robert Carter and Mr. Thomas Young retired from
