A Special and Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders was
heldat the Banking-house of the Company, 3, Moorgate-street, Loth-
bury, on Monday, the 22d July, 1844.
George Bulpett, Esq., Deputy Chairman, declared the Meeting duly
constituted by the presence of the number of Proprietors required by
the Deed of Settlement.
The advertisement calling the Meeting having been read, the mi-
nutes of the proceedings of the Special Meeting of the 3d of June last,
and the resolutions then passed for reducing the denomination of the
Shares front 1,000/. to 1001. each, were severally read and unani-
mously confirmed.
The Annual General Meeting was then held, and the following Re-
port front the Directors was read by the Manager :
.FOURTII REPORT of the DIRECTORS of the COMMERCIAL
BANK of LONDON.

The Directors, in conformity with the Deed of Settlement, submit
to the Shareholders their Fourth Annual Statement, on reference to
which it will he seen that the position and prospects of the Bank con-
tinue to improve.
After paying all the current expenses, and making provision for
. bad and doubtful debts, the net profits of the Bank for the past year
. • amount to 6,3031. is. 1 Id.
The Directors have therefore decided upon declaring a Dividend
of Five per Cent. (free of Income-tax), leaving a balance of 2,3031. 7s.
I ld., part of which will be required for rebate of interest on current
bills, and the remainder is proposed to be placed to the credit of the
Guarantee Fund.
The Banking-house in Moorgate- street having been found Inconve-
niently small and quite inadequate for the transaction of the busi-
ness of the Company, now in the course of daily extension, the Di-
rectors have taken new premises in Lothbury, to which they intend
shortly to remove.
The Directors are confident that the change in the amount of the
shares from 1,0001. each to 100/. each, will be the means of greatly
• extending the connexions of the bank, and thus prove highly con-
. ducive to the interests of theliroprietors, whilst the removal of many
of the restrictions which have hitherto impeded the operations of
joint-stock banks In London, and the power conceded under the New
Bank Charter of accepting bills at a less date than six months, will
enable the Directors to undertake much valuable business from which
they have hitherto been excluded.
In accordance with the provisions of the Deed of Settlement, the
• following Directors, viz., Edward Stillingfleet Cayley, Esq., M.P.,
Charles Weld, Esq., Thomas Barnewa 1, Esq., donathan.Hopkinson,
Esq.,.retire from office, and, being eligible, they offer themselves for
re-election.
• • The dividend will be paid on and after the 10th of August next,
and at the same time certificates of the new shares will be exchanged
for the old ones.

ripii. E WELLINGTON STAT
Amid the proud City, where multitudes pass,
Stands Wellington's monument, sculptured in brass.
We hail its appearance, a d gladly we wan
The statue of such a remarkable man.
For while on the work of the sculptor we gaze,
The mind is conducted to chivalrous days,
Great men should be honour'd. Their acts should be told
To far-distant ages by monuments bold.
Not only for warriors should these be display'd
But likewise for those who have risen'in trade.
Let a statue be sculptur'd for MOSES and SON,
Whose " ac
tactics" in tade such hievements have won,
And here, by the way, r
we would beg to suggest
A plan which we certainly think would be best.
Let subscriptions'of one single farthing be paid
By all who have patronis'd MOSES'S trade :
For the number's so great and the sum ;is so small
That the thing might be done without trouble at all.
But why should we wish to be signalls'd thus ?
A far greater " monument " rises for " us."
Our fame is a " statue" which none can surpass
Although 'tis not wrought by a Chantrey in brass.
A durable monument, eeuall'd by none
is the glorious fame of E. MOSES and SON.

IE,DWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully
to re,quest that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO-
SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent
Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita-
tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite,"
used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real
Composite Candles are made, being tet one ; and E. P. and Co.
granting no licenses, none of theseimitation candles are at all the
same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their
burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and
their affordiag so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper,
taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of
them giving the light of three ordinal,' moulds. They may be had of

most of the respectable tallow-ehenalers throughout the kingdom, and
are supplied to the trade Whqiesate by

The decided superiority of this Medicine over every other
hitherto offered to the public for the cure of those dreadfully painful
diseases gout, rheumatic gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, &c
is so fullh manifested by the increasing sale, and the testimony of
thousan in every rank of life, that those 3yho are aware of the ex-
istence of such a remedy, and have not availed themselves of trying
its efficacy, cannot truly be objects of sympathy. 'The testimonials of
the astonishing effects of this medicine are universally acCoinpanier;
by the fact that no inconvenience rif any sort attends its
