 sion, or the bacic cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copies are filmed beginning on the 
 first page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, and ending on the last page with a printed 
 or illustrated impression.

 shall contain the symbol — *► (meaning "CON- 
 TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), 
 whichever applies.

 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method:

 orommetrial USanlt of (ilTanatia, 
 
 KiNciSTox, 9tii Dr,( ., 1H(»7. 
 
 I beg to inform you that the Bill iipplied for by the Bank, in 
 virtue of resolutions adopted at the meeting of Shareholders held 
 on Gth November last, has passed the House of Commons, and sub- 
 stantially in terms set forth in the published notice of application. 
 There is every reason to believe that the Bill will pass the Senat*; 
 also, and receive the assent of His Excellency the Governor Generiil 
 in due course : but it may not beciime law until several days after 
 the 17th inst., the day fixed for the Special Meeting of Share 
 holders. ! 
 
 Obviously the Directors could not enter upon measures or nego- 
 tiations for the future, until they had obtained the recjuisite powers. 
 It is therefore probable that it will be necessary to adjourn the 
 meeting of 17th inst., and in such a contingency, the Directors will 
 propose adjournment to Tuesday, tlie 7th January next ; but they 
 will be prepared to give all the information they possess, regarding 
 the affairs of the Bank, to such Shareholders as may attend the 
 meeting of 17th inst. 
 
 Meantime it will be satisfactory to the Shareholders to be in- 
 formed that the reduction of the liabilities of the Bank since the 
 date of suspension, exceeds $2,250,000 (two and a quarter millions 
 dollars) : the reduction now amounting to more than half of the 
 liabilities on IDth October last. 
 
 I am, 
 
 Your most obedient Servant, 
 
 C. S. ROSS, 
 
 Ccmhier.
