BANK OF NEW ZEALAND.

The twenty-second half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of tho Bank of New Zealand was held today in the head office, Queen-street, — Thomas Russell, chairman of the Board of Directors, presiding. j The luspeetor read the notice conven j ing the meeting, also the minutes of the last half-yearly meeting, which were con firmed. 1 he following is the report and balance sheet for the half year :— REPORT : The directors have to report that con sequent on the cheapening of money and its abundance in tlie colony, with the absence of an active demand for its employment, profits do not compare favourably with past half-years. They hare, however, to con gratulate shareholders on the maintenance of j the Bank's leading position, as evidenced in the attached statement, and express a hope that development of commerce will soon offer more profitable employment for the Bank's resources. The net profit at 30th September, after making full provision for all known bad and doubtful debts, and for usual appropriations in reduction of Bank premises and furniture accounts, amounts to £ 35.760 2s Od ; to which has been added—balance of undivided profit at 31st March, 1572, £7,600 3s Od j making a total available for division, of £46,3(30 5s Od. The following appropriation of which is now recommended : To payment of dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, £30,000 0s Od ; to bonus of 2s 6d per share, equal to 2-£ per cent, per annum, £7,500 0s Od ; to balance carried to profit the loss new account, £S,S6O 5s od. Total: £46,360 5s Od. The dividend and bonus will be payable at Head office, Auckland, to-morrow, the 24th October, and at branches on receipt of advice.

Taylor, Audited j 0 j g TONE The .Chairman, in moving that the report be adopted, printed, and circulated for the information of the share holders, 1 said that in' past half-years1 the reports commended themselves to, the acceptance of the shareholders. He was glad to say that notwithstanding' a flight, diminution iri' the. dividend, the institution still occupied the same leading position in the colony. Its note circulation was more than half the whole note circula tion of the colony ; its deposit account was half the gross deposits ; and its discounts afid advances were more than half of those made by all the other; banks.■,_, The share holders would perceivei that the'djmiriution. of the dividend Was owing to causes upon-;, which etery,person inthe colony should be 'congratulated, the" vast increase of wealth. This was caused by the sudden rise -'ih the value and /price of the w6ol staple, which "/made "people , who: were for'merlyVcustomers independent of bank accommodation. V Mt.i James", Williamson seconded the motion.*-,.-- :'■ - - ■ Mr.^Brpdie said with respect to -the ;pfrojected ~ ~ National Bank" that there" would be room for two. . . ;: The Chairman was of opinion that when they considered the abundance of money ■■which they could not employ here, and were therefore driven to employ in other -parts of the world, at lower rates of in terest than ought to be obtained' in the. colony, andespecially when they' saw other banks imprecisely the.same position, there was not room for another foreign bank. As to a second Colonial Bank, that would be the right thing when the time came for it. '-But they could not regard] the present project as a Colonial Bank. It was simply another foreign institution. He^id not think they could/,be .asked v tp. support a bank which was starting with such an assumption —as it were under false pretences, yt .... ~,„ uq :u .p a j The report was.adopted Mm: conk ' i Dr. Campbell'arid C !: ;& 7 Stope, ywere l elected new'directors; G.

WM EVBNtNG STAB, WEDNESDAY OOTQBETt 23, 1572



We have been favored with the perusal of the followihg telegram received this afternoon by his Worship the Mayor, from the Honorable the Colonial Treasurer : —"Auckland Water Loan Bill, has passed. The Empowering Bill will pass to-day." As an illustration of the benefits of Life Assurance, especially where the assured share in thr, profits, we have been informed of the caf.,e of an old settler, just deceased. He had ensured in the Australian Mutual Provident Society fourteen years ago, for the sum of £1,000, and on his decease his trustees have ust received from that Company the sum of £1;330, being the amount of policy with additions. Comment is needless. On Thursday, 26th ultimo (says the JBurrowa Advocate), a young man named John Byati Was seriously, bitten in the right arm.by a vicious horse at.Kalangan. Various remedies were applied to the wound botjji at Young and Murrumburrah ; but as the arm seemed to get worse the sufferer came into Burrowa on Saturday, 28th.;Bep'te'niber, and was attended to by Dr. O'Conner, with whom he proceeded toYass on Monday. The injuries received sit»n«said to be of a serious nature that it ■ : '■■'"- pieved amputation of the arm will, be i j £*a{ necessary in Order to save the young Iran's life. : ' Tbe folloynng from the Sydney Mail > is pithy^^ahd'trtithfal:^l^)^ 'of iKe-mb&t convenientways.of getting rid of a ques tion which bore's the Legislature is to refer it to1 a select committee for consider ation and report. It is convenient to the Government when it postpones a perilous j proposal ;it is convenient to honorable members generally, when it removes for a time from the arena of the Assemblya,: matter, in, reference, to, which it is assumed1! that they require fuller information; it is j convenient to the inoyer, because it allows j him to carry on an enquiry into ."a pet' subject. It is convenient to others, because tHefemoval of a troublesome motion from the floor of the flbuse to the quiet of a committee room gives them a better chance of mounting their own particular hobbies.
