Teller, George F. C. Smith, >vhich has been written off from the current profits of the half-year. The Directors immediately on obtaining the sanction of the Proprietors to the New Zealand extension, concluded an arrangement with tho Oriental Bank for the transfer of its business at Auckland, Wellington, Wanganui, Dunedin, and Invercargill, and in addition have opened Branches at Christchurch and Lyttelton, and contemplate opening at Nelson. The Local Inspector and Managers; report favorably of the prospects and so far justify the. expectations formed of doing a remunerative business, while the discovery of extensive and productive Gold-fields in the province of Otago will materially further the prosperity-of" the Southern Branches. A Branch has been opened in the rising town of Rockhampton, in Queensland, and Gold-buying Agencies have been established- at Inglewood, Creswick, and Linton, in the Colony of Victoria, while that at Kiandra in this Colony has been withdrawn. Mr. Stuart retires from the Direction by rotation. Messrs.

Mr. Lotze also retires from the office of Auditor, and it devolves upon the Meeting to elect a successor.
