At the Annual Meeting of Proprietors held on Thursday, the Ist of
February, 1844, at the Company's premises, No. 71, Lombarthstreet,
the following Report for the year ending the 30th of December, 1843,
was read by the Secretary
HAWES, Esq., in the Chair.
REPORT.
Your Directors have much satisfaction in calling the attention of
the Proprietors to the half-yearly balance sheet of the Company, by
which it will be seen its business is steadily improving, and that,
after deducting all the current expenses of the head office and
branches, and interest on current and deposit accounts, rebate on
bills not due, allowance for bad and doubtful debts, &c., there re-
mains a balance of 3,8471. 14s. at the disposal of the Shareholders.
Your Directors recommend a dividend at the rate of S per cent. per
annum for the half-year, which, if approved by the Proprietors,
leaves 805 . I is. 6d. for the Guarantee Fund.
Your Directors can continue to report most favourably of the
working of the branches. They believe the monetary wants of the
localities in which they are situated are fully provided for, without
any stimulus being given by the issue of local notes.
Your Directors cannot make any definite report at present on the
pending law proceedings, arising out of the affairs of Messrs. Coils
and Co.; but, acting under the best legal advice, and devoting to
them their best attention, they believe the statements made to the
last meeting will be supported by the result.
As soon as it is in their power to afford an exact account of these
transactions, a detailed statement will he submitted to the Proprietors.
The Proprietors will not fail to observe that, although the times
have been moat unfavourable for banking profits, the Guarantee
Fund is increasing.
The three members of the Board who retire from the Direction on
the present occasion are—John Cuthbert Joyner, Esq., Swynfen
Jervis, Esq., and Wm. Cory, Esq., all of whom are eligible for re-
election, and offer themselves accordingly.

THE MIRROR of LITERATURE, AMUSE.
MENT, and INSTRUCTION, containing Tales, Poetry, His-
torical Narratives, Biographical Memoirs, Manners and Customs,
Topography, Science, and Fine Arts. The Number for Saturday,
Feb. 17, contains—Riembaur, the Saintly Murderer—Gennaro
Armes, or Entertainment for a Duke—Passages in the Life of
Chaucer—Appalling Themes for Eloquence—The Autograph of Shak-
spere—lmportant Scientific Articles, with Two Engravings, &c., &c.
The SECOND VOLUME, for the year 1843, is now completed. It
is superbly embellished with a frontispiece, representing Milton com-
posing his " Paradise Lost," with a multitude of other embellishments.
Numerous Original Tales, Scientific Notices, Interesting Biogra-
graphics, and Singular Narratives, with Sketches of the Nobility of
England, enrich " The Mirror" for the last year. The promises made
by popular Writers and eminent Professors who had engaged to adorn
its pages with their communications have been made good, and no
magazine of the day has been able to lay before its readers more
varied or more valuable original matter. Its widely-extending con-
nexions enable the Proprietors to furnish the earliest and moat cor-
rect announcements of all discoveries in Art, Science, and Nature,
that are interesting to the friends of Literature.
The general varieties which, for more than twenty years, have re-
ceived the stamp of public approbation; historical facts, amusing
anecdotes, graphic descriptions of remarkable localities and celebrated
edifices, ancient and modern, will successively appear, with embel-
lishments of a superior order, and much costly matter, never found in
any similar publication, while the price will remain the same (Two-
pence), that it may be within the reach of all.
Many Advertisers having wished to avail themselves of the large
circulation enjoyed by " The Mirror" in high and respectable families,
an additional Half-Sheet is weekly appropriated to advertisements,
so arranged as to form a Wrapper, or double Wrapper, without in
any way interfering with the Miscellany. It can be retained or de-
tached at pleasure.
"The Mirror" can be ordered from all respectable Newsmen, Price
Twopence.
For the convenience of Country Subscribers, it is forwarded
monthly with the Periodicals to the provinces, as well as to foreign
parts, forming a Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Intelligence,
comprehending Four or Five Numbers.
The two volumes for the year 1843, handsomely bound in cloth,
from the immense stock of information and entertainment which
they contain, will be found a most acceptable present for a friend in
foreign parts, and invaluable as a companion on a long voyage, while
its insignificant price places it within the reach of all classes.
All communications to be addressed to the Editor, care of Mr. Mor-
timer, publisher, Adelaide-street, Trafalgar-square, where Books for
Review, and Advertisements are received.

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCEIOVIES
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London.
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.

lowing resolutions were carried unanimously :-
1. That the Report be received and adopted, and printed for the
use of the Proprietors.

public press, declare-
I. That from the information always afforded by the Directors at
the Half-yearly Meetings of the Company, and particularly after the
explanations given this day, they are satisfied the statements in such
letters, whether printed or anonymous, are both false and malicious.
11. That they cannot too strongly express their indignation at these
unprincipled attempts to injure the Bank iu the estimation of the
public, by attacking the public and private characters of the Direc-
tors, and those of several of the officers of the establishment, by per-
sons not connected with the Company, and whose dismissal (or
forced resignation) as officers is most amply justified by their subse-
quent conduct.
111. That they highly approve the conduct of the Directors in
leaving such publications unanswered, except at the periodical meet-
ings of the Company, and that they be requested to rely on the in-
tegrity and honourable feelings of the Proprietors for support against
such unprincipled attacks:
IV. That they deeply regret to hear that several private bankers,
In the districts in which the Company has branches, have been active
distributors of Mr. Sturt's letters, but believe that no gentleman,
after this declaration from those best able to judge of their baseness,
will continue to participate in their circulation. And-
Lastly. That tbey hereby convey to the absent Shareholders, and
the public, tick entire confidence in the Directors, and in the ability,
energy, and weal, with which they have conducted the affairs of the
Company ; and their deep regret, that in the honest discharge of their
duty to the Shareholders, they should have been exposed, collectively
and individually, to the accusations of Mr. Sturt and his accomplices.
3. That a Dividend at the rate of M. per cent. per annum be de-
clared upon the. Capital Stock of the Company, clear of income-tax,

The CAMPHINE LAMP produces a Light of extraordinary
power, and promises to supersede Gas entirely. No smell emitted.
Can be fitted to any description of Lamp pedestal or Gas-fitting.
CLARK and Co. have a Fireproof Chimney, which is so necessary
for the Camphine Lamp, the Light being too powerful for common
glasses.
C. and Co. are positively selling the Camphine Lamps at one-half
the price charged elsewhere. A really splendid Show of Lamps (of
every description) at manufacturers' prices. One inspection will
prove. Lamps always kept burning to show the different improve-
ments.

gives a Lamp a truly elegant appearance.

C. WATSON, 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and 16, NORTON-FU-
GATE, aided by a person of science in the amalgamation of metals,
has succeeded its bringing to public notice the most beautiful article
ever yet offered ; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance
—with all its durability and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in
use—undergoing, as it does, a chemical process, by which all that is
nauseous in mixed metals is entirely extracted—resisting all acids—
may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every article for
the Table and Sideboard.
