A Geographic despatch from Toronto announces
that at meeting Of the Bank Of Upper Canada
held on Tuesday, the cashier reported that the
losses sustained by the bank during the past few
years amounted to 81 500 900. He recommended
the reduction of the shares from $50 to $50 each
which VIII cover the losses and leave the capital
OF the bank at 50 ,0O000 The bank is perfectly
solvent, but it is the wish OF its officers that its
affairs shall be placed on the basis Of its actual
and not its nominal, capital.

weak to attack, and our forces are uupre.
