AT the ADJOURNED GENERAL ANNUAL
MEETING of the PRPRIETORS of the PL.
BANKING COMPANY, held at the Clarendon-roLIVERoms, inOO Li-
verpool, this 3rd day of April, 1848,
GEORGRAMSDE Esq., Chairman in the Chair,
The Report of the AuditorsN, , 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 :

"To THE SHAREHOLDERS IN THE LIVERPOOL BANKING
COMPANY.
" 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 all e 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 kepreatisfactorily, 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.
" EDMUND WARD.
JOHN W. COWARD."
Resolved,—That the Auditors' Report, read at this Meeting,
be now passed.
Resolved,—That, in the opinion of the Meeting, it is not
expedient or advantageous to increase the number of Directors
beyond the present number of seven, and that no other Direc-
tors be elected at this Meeting.
By order of the Meeting,
GEORGE RAMSDEN, Chairman.
The Chairman having left the Chair, RICHARD BRIGHT, Esq.,
being called to it, Resolved, That the thanks of this Meeting
be given to the Chairman, for his able and impartial conduct
in the Chair. RD. BRIGHT.

I Observe that the Signature of the proprietor, "G. C. Serjeant,"

.t M. Office- The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
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 univergally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or incronvenience; hundreds have
experienced its happy an salutary effects since it was first
introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable
Specific that persons !pouring under the most distressing
Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered
thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved
in a few hours.

though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder.
