UNION BANK OF AUSTEALIA. The annual geueral meeting of proprietors was held on July 8, at the offices of the com pany, No. 1, Bank-buildings, London ; Sir Charles Nicholson, Bart., in the chair. The 34th annual report and statement of accounts were read by Mr. John Bramwell, the manager, as follows:—" The directors are gratified at being again in a position to submit to the proprietors a statement of accounts which has enabled them, after making ample provision for every bad and doubtful debt, to declare a dividend equal to that of last half-year—viz., 64 per cent., or at the rate of 13 per cent, per annum. Al though commercial affairs in the colonies, by latest advices, continued dull, and low rates j—% >r money, the prosperous state of the . al interest, and the further discoveries, "^»cjv*J.,jtrsed, of rich mineral deposits in both New South "Wales and Queensland, must sooner or later, in the opinion of the beard, give an impetus to trade and create a demand for capital, whereby this and other kindred institutions will be benefited. The board, with a view of enlarging the bank's local connections,* have considered it expedient that facilities should be afforded for the extension of the colonial proprietory by allow ing a further portion of its capital to be transferred to the colonies. Under clauses one and four of the deed of settlement, one half of the original capital of the bank, viz., 10,000 shares, might be held in the colo nies. Tn June, 1840, authority was given for the issue of 2,000 additional shares, of value £50,000, making in the aggregate 12,000 shares available for the colonial regis ters. Of these 12,000 shares only 5,800 are at present on the colonial, the remainder being on the English register. In order there- ' fore to carry out the original intention of the bank in this respect, it is now proposed that the transfer of shares to the colonial register be sanctioned on the written appli- ! cation of transferees resident in the colonies, I until the capital held there shall amount to : 12,000 shares of the value of £300,000, the j existing limitation respecting such shares, prohibiting their retransfer to the English register, remaining unaltered. To comply with the 38th clause of the bank's deed of I settlement, whioh requires that resolutions of the above character shall be sanctioned by two special general meetings of proprietors, such meetings will accordingly be called by public advertisement at an early day. Mr. Robert Brooks and Mr. Robert Carter retire from the direction on the present occasion in conformity with the provisions of the bank's deed of settlement, but now offer themselves for re-electiou. The directors again desire to recognise in the warmest terms their sense of the zeal and ability which continue to characterise the services of Mr. McMullen and the other officers of the bank, both at home and abroad. The annexed statement of accounts presents a net profit of £85,674 19s. 10d., available for division, of which the dividend for the half-year will absorb £81,250, being at the rate of £1 12s. 6d. per Bhare, leaving £4,424 19s. lOd. to be carried forward. The dividend warrants will be transmitted by post on the 15th inst., and the dividends will be payable in the colonies at such time as the general manager shall fix after receipt of advices."

The position he occupied that day was more favourable in some respects than that in which his predecessors during the last three or four years had been placed. They had had to deplore the state of depression in which the colonies were placed, chiefly owing to the low value of that common stiple of the colonies—wool. For many years the producers of that article had been carrying on their establishments, if not at a positive loss, certainly without any adequate remu neration for the capital and labour employed. The late impulse to commercial enterprise in England and throughout the world had, however, reacted most favourably upon the colonies. The large and almost unprecedented rise in the price of wool had completely changed the condition of the Australian )c?o^-oducers, and the raising of wool had -pr_e so profitable that the squatters and itffeep farmers who formerly came to them for advances had been able to pay off their debts and carry on their operations under the most favourable prospects. Besides this change in the pastoral interest, there had been a sudden development of wealth in all the departments of colonial industry. The production of minerals had received a great impetus. The gold mines of New South Wales had made larger returns than even before, while those of Queensland had re ceived an extraordinary development, the increase there more than compensating for the falling off in the Victorian districts. The yield of copper had likewise largely increased, and that con currently with the increased demand and higher prices here, and tin, the most valuable metal next to silver, was being found in large quantities. Sugar-growing and meat-pre serving had also increased to a great extent. Queensland now grew sugar enough for her own consumption, and while the production

I of preserved meats was growing it was i satisfactory to find that the public of England were becoming more used to them, and that there was every reason for believing, looking at the rise in the price of animal food in this country, that this branch of colonial industry j would become one of the most valuable in ' ; Australia. (Hear, hear.) During the last 1 | four years there had been a diminution of 10 I per cent.in the meat supply of Great Britain, • ; while tho population had increased one ■ million in the same time. Perhaps it might •; be said that in consequence of this pros |.' perity the proprietors of that bank, ' | and those who were interested in colonial ' enterprise, had a ri^ht to look forward to j increased profits and larger dividends. In | reply he must remind them that the pros- j perity was not of long standing, and that at ■ present it was impossible to calculate its full I effect. And, anomalous as it might seem, j this great and sudden prosperity had to ! a certain extent tended to limit the business J of the bank. Sheep farmers who used to come j to the bank for assistance were now able, consequent upon the high price they obtained for their wool, to keep large balances to their credit, and no longer j required to borrow. This militated against I I large banking profits at present, but no doubt ; the prosperity Would re-act in various ways ; j the holders of capital would seek investments in other directions, and the sphere of the bank's operations and the expectations of legitimate additional profits would be in- j creased. The directors felt it their duty to look rather to a safe business than, for the sake of possible large profits, to incur risk, I knowing that the liability of their share- j holders was personal and unlimited. (Cheers.) i He then adverted to the paragraph in the report referring to the desirability of increas- I ing the colonial interest in the bank by adding to the colonial proprietary, and explained j the advantage which would follow from the ; j transference of the influence of the colonists j who would become shareholders to this from : | the colonial banks which now competed j with it. ' Mr. W. Botley seconded the motion, I expressing his thorough approval of the I proposal of the directors for increasing the j colonial interest in the institution, and his j satisfaction with the very favourable report. After a short discussion the report was un animously adopted, and, the retiring directors having been re-elected, the report of the dividend already announced (b\\ per cent, for the half-year) was read, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, and a similar compliment to the manager and staff at home and in the colonies, concluded the proceed- ' ings. * UNION BANK OF AUSTEALIA.

Christchurch, May 13, 1872,

We have inspected at Messrs L, D. Nathan and Co.'s store some samples of dried fish from Messrs Perston and McLeod's Tutukaka fish-curing establish ment, Wangarei Heads. They have a parcel waiting shipment, consisting of schnapper, shark or New Zealand ling, and whapouka, a New Zealand turbot. The fish are packed in 1001b. boxes. Some time ago the Provincial Government, for the encouragement of local industries, offered a bonus of £4 per ton on the first 100 tons shipped in the province, and Messrs Perston and McLeod are doing their best to earn tho reward. The samples to hand have a very wholesome appearance, and possess a pleasant odour, and if the bulk is eqaul to the sample they bid fair to become an article of great consumption.
