The foregoing Report having been read by the Secretary, the fol-
lowing resolutions were carried unanimously :-
1. That the Report be received and adopted, and printed for the
Use of the Proprietors.
2. That many of the Proprietors this day assembled at the Annual
Meeting of the Company having received, during the last half-year,
various printed circulars, signed G. Sturt, and many of them having
also received anonymous letters to the same effect, and extracts ftom
such circulars having obtained publicity through the medium of the
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 in the estimation of the
public, by attacking the public and private characters of the Direc-
tore, 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 they hereby convey to the absent Shareholders, and
the public, their entire confidence in the Directors, and in the ability,
energy, and zeal, 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 51. per cent. per annum be de-
clared upon the Capital Stock of the Company, clear of income-tax,
for the past half-year, payable on and after Saturday, the 10th day
of February instant.
4. That the Balance of 8051. Ils. 6d., remaining to the credit of
the Profit and Loss Account, be carried to the Guarantee Fund.
5. That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Directors for
the able manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the
Company during the past year.
6. That the sum of 1,5001. be placed at the disposal of the Di-
rectors, for their remuneration for the current year.
7. That the Thanks of this Meeting be presented to the Auditors of
the Company for the past year.
8. That Jonathan Barrett, Esq., Joseph Henry Warier, Esq., and
John Donkin, Esq., be elected Auditors for the year 1844.
9. That the Thanks of this Meeting be presented to the Manager,
Inspector, Secretary, and the respective Branch Managers, for the
zeal and ability with which they have discharged the duties of their
several offices.
The Ballot for the Election of three Directors having been pro-
ceeded with, the following gentlemen were nnanimously re-elected:—
John Cuthbert Joyner, Esq., Swynfen Jervis, Esq., and William
Cory Esq. (Signed) W. HAWES, Chairman.

IMPROVED LIGHT.-GAS ECLIPSED.
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.
Rectified Camphine Spirit, as. Bd. imperial gallon.
Please copy the Address—Clark and Co., 447, West Strand, ten
doors from Lowther Arcade.
N.B—C. and Co. have invented an Opal Enamelled Shade, which
gives a Lamp a truly elegant appearance.
The Public should purchase the Camphine Lamps without the
Globe and Chimney, and apply to C. and Co. for their improvements.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
1.7 and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless ALBATA
PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and 16, NORTON-FOL-
GATE, aided by a person of science in the amalgamation of metals,
gas succeeded in 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.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal is pecu-
liarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold, than
his metal is from all others ; on its intrinsic merit alone he wishes it
to be tested, and from the daily increasing euloginms he receives, he
is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an article of uni-
versal wear.
