AT the ADJOURNED GENERAL ANNUAL
MEETING of the PROPRIETORS of the LIVERPOOL
BANKING COMPANY, held at the Clarendon-rooms, in Li-
verpool, this 3rd day of April, 1848,
GEORGE RAMSDEN, Esq., Chairman, in the Chair,
The Report of the Auditors, appointed at the General Annual
Meeting of the 7th of March last, having been laid before the
Meeting, and having been read, of which the following is a
copy

i'VO THE SHAREHOLDERS IN THE LIVERPOOL BANKING

CO M PA

" In pursuance of the resolution passed at the Meeting held
on the 7th ultimo, we have proceeded to investigate the affairs
of the Bank.

" The Manager placed before 'mall the Books and Securities,
and afforded us every facility.

" Our attention was, in the first instance, directed to the
Books, for the purpose of testing the accuracy of the Statement
submitted by your Directors of the last Meeting. The Books
have been kept satisfactorily, and as to its mere figures, the
Directors' Statement is quite-correct; but with their Estimate
of Assets, Debts, and Securities, we do not concur.
" Upon a careful review of all the circumstances, we cannot
but feel a strong conviction that the Assets have been over-
rated, but to what extent we are unprepared to state; for some
of the Securities are of such a nature as not to admit of imme-
diate realization in times like the present. The Bank, however,
is perfectly solvent, and, after payment of all its liabilities,
will yield a considerable surplus to the Proprietors.

Chairman,

The Chairman having left the Chair, RICHARD BRIGHT, Esq.,

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and tteptorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.

This-excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have
experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first
introduced; and ,such are the properties of this invaluable
Specific that persons labouring under the most 'ciistressing
Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and Tendered
thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been-relieved
