Royal Bank Of Ireland.
The transactions involved in it amounted to over a million of money , and the commission , interest , and profits averaged from £ 3 , 500 to £ 4 , 000 a-year , and one year it reached , £ 6 , 000 . From the magnitude of this sum they might imagine that there was a disproportionate amount of risk , but that was not the case . There was material security in every respect , ancl large as the amount was , it
was not attended with risk of any unusual nature , but with a considerable amount of profit . The account went on to a recent period , when it was considered rather heavy , and they desired that it should be reduced , and then an account was opened with the Bank of Ireland . Up to the stoppage of the firm it was debtor to the bank only to the amount of ; £ S , ooo , and that was increased by
special application by £ 4 , , which was to be reduced , but was not . A sum of £ 13 , 000 really represented the amount of the liability of the firm to the bank ; but following its stoppage was tlie failure of four or five houses of eminence . One of them was a Belfast house in a prominent position , upon which the bank held bills to the amount of nearly £ 20 , 000 , such as no bank would think
of declining . It was from the circumstances following these failures , which were above the control of the firm , that the large amount of their liability arose , which raised the debt to the amount of about £ 19 , 030 . At the time of the stoppage the whole amount which they could claim from the firm was £ S , ooo , and all was covered by unquestionable security , material and otherwise .
Mr . O CONNOR asked if at that time there was not a fall in securities of 25 per cent ? Mr . COPLAND said , in addition to this , the depreciation in the securities they held was 20 per cent . A SHAREHOLDER asked what was the average amount of bad debts for ten or fifteen years , and what was the relation their reserve fund bore to their paid-up capital ,
having regard to other banks , and their reserve funds in proportion to their paid-up capital ? Mr . COPLAND said the average amount of loss from the commencement was ^ 4 , 600 ; and the average for the last ten years about ; £ S , ooo , including these heavy losses , and excluding them , only , £ 6 , 000 . The proportion which their reserve fund bore to capital was about 63 per cent .
The Provincial Bank represented 45 percent . ; the Ulster Bank , 71 ; the Hibernian Bank , 26 ^ per cent . ; the Northern Banking Company , 65 ; the Belfast Bank , 125 per cent . ; the London and Westminster , 50 per cent . ; the Union Bank , 25 per cent , & c . So that , as regarded their resc . ve fund to their capital , Ihey stood in a very satisfactory position .
A SHAREHOLDER asked what was the nature of the £ 4 , 000 which was not replaced by the firm alluded to in the report ? Mr . COPLAND said it was money drawn . The report was then put from the chair and unanimously adopted . Mr . QUINI . AN moved that Mr . Findlater be re-elected
a member of the board . Mr . PKII . I-. cjmplained that the shareholders had practically no voice in the election of directors , and he asserted that there were many on lhe board who were not fil for the position . The chairman was one of the prince merchants of the city , but he had not . 1 moment lo himself , for he had transactions all over the globe . Mr . lloycc
had more to do with boards than any man in Dublin , and he had not a moment to himself either . There were only two of the directors who should be on the board—Mr . Caldwell and Mr . Findlater—who could devote their minds and their lime to the business of the bank . The character , conduct , and ability of their manager were the admiration of all —( hear , hear)—and Mr . North , the
secretary , was an able officer —( hear , hear ) ; bill the best generals that ever were could not act effectively if they were not properly supported . Mr . COPLAND explained that under the deed of association any shareholder could propose a director on giving ten days' notice before the day of meeting . The re-election of Mr . Findlater was adopted .
Mr . MlUU . AND said when he undertook lhe duty of a director he was strongly impressed with its responsibility , and he would not have undertaken it if he had not been lirinly resolved lo give lo it all the time which was required ofhim to discharge it properly —( hear , hear)—and if he thought his presence was not agreeable lo the majority of the shareholders he would not sit on the board .
A SHAREHOLDER observed thai a man in cxtcnisve business must have an amount of knowledge lo qualify him specially for the office of director . Mr . LAMIU-. KT said they could not gel anyone more qualified for the position than Mr . Murland , whose reelection be moved . Mr . TAMES IIAUGHTON , seconded the resolution .
Dr . WALLER showed that they had been proceeding perfectly regular under their deed in the election of directors . Mr . I ' KILE said he had no objection whatever to Mr . Murland , but for the purpose of raising the point as to the power of the . shareholders in the election of directors , he would object lo his re-election . Mr . Murland was declared re-elected , Mr . Peilc
dissenting . The Hon . Judge Utile having been called to lhe second chair , Mr . ALEXANDER PARKER said they had so long been increasing the reserve fund thai they could badly bear to see it reduced ; but the circumstances of the past year were in every sense exceptional , and he considered that
the directors now deserve . I approval more than at any other time . There had been a sudden collapse in lhe corn trade that brought down houses of hi di character , and , in his judgment , the directors were not chargeable with any considerable amount of blame for the losses alluded to .

The Late Bro. Charles Sloman.
THE LATE BRO . CHARLES SLOMAN .
At the last meeting of the Southern Star Lodge , of which Bro . Bayfield is W . M ., a very graceful tribute was paid to a departed brother by the Treasurer and Founder of the lodge , Bro . Henry Thompson , P . M ., who after some very kindly observations congratulated the brethren upon their
reassembling after the vacation , and made the following observations upon the death of Bro . Charles Sloman , who was an honorary member of the lodge Brethren , having hitherto touched only on pleasant themes , having only looked at the bright side of the pictureI am afraid without doing something like
, injustice to this brief review I have undertaken of what has occurred since our last meeting , that I cannot pass over a subject which is not so pleasing as those that have gone before , and to which I have already reverted . In these we have reason to congratulate each other , not only for the earnest of what we have
done , but what we intend to do in the future in furtherance of the great princip les of our Order , but there may be a shadow cast on this picture , and we as Masons ought not to be unmindful of it ; as holding out to us a solemn warning for the future . Since wc last met together in this lodge the hand
of Death has smitten one whom by your kindness became one of our members , although he was not initiated in our lodge . He received at your hands the distinction of an " honorary member " in consideration of his abilities , his great powers for affording a pleasing entertainment , his position as a
Mason , and above all his willingness at all tunes , in season and out of season , to place his gratuitous services at the disposal of any one in the cause of benevolence or charity . I need hardly say brethren , that I refer to the death of our Bro . Charles Sloman , whose presence wc shall ever miss from our festive
board , and who will no more enliven our leisure moments with those impromptu literary portraits he was so able and willing to draw of us . Who can forget the many pleasant hours we have spent in his society ? Who can forget the readiness with
which he photographed the happy sketches of everyone who came within the range of his witty lens . Who , when he saw it , could deny the fidelity of the portraiture , the reflex of the original , the second self of the individual whom he painted with a master hand . Yet in all these great works , holding
As 'twere the mirror Up to A atttru as he did , truthfully and honestly . In no instance whatever—and I say it fearlessly—did he ever suffer his wit to carry him beyond the bounds of prudence , or was he ever betrayed—even in the loftiest flights
of his personal fancies—to cause the slightest illfeeling , or leave the slightest trace of a sting kehind . He loved the Muses , but he loved them only so far as he could use them to exalt our common nature , to make us consider our weaknesses , ancl when the
necessity should arise , to respect those of others . No ill word or angry imputation ever escaped his lips , and perhaps few present have had more opportunities than I have of knowing what our deceased Bro . Sloman
waslie had a hand open as day To melting charity . And I say it fearlessly that if ever there was an act of benevolence to be perfoimed , any good work to be accomplished , he was always ready to do it , without cost and without price . Thus proving that
he always carried out the great princip le of Freemasonry , even to those without the pale of it , and to whom he owed no other tie than that of a desire to assist his fellow-creatures in the hour of their misfortunes . When nature failed him , and advancing age induced him lo appeal tohis brother Masons
in the time of affliction , from the recollection of his many virtues , it was at once responded to . The solace of an income , ancl a home which should cheer him in thedeclining hours of his life ancl renderthem happy and comfortable , were placed before him ; but , alas ' . for the mutability of human affairs ,
the ready aid of his brother Masons came too late . He had scarcely come into the enjoyment of it when his brain became weakened , reason was no longer able to assume her sway , and without further pursuing the melancholy subject , suffice it to sav lhat our poor Bro . Sloman ended his days in a
pauper ' s home . From his end let us draw a moral . Let it teach us to do all the good we can " while it is yet dav ; " let us draw closer ancl closer those bonds of ' fraternity that link us together , so that during the short space which is allotted to our present existence we may wisely and usefully employ our time in the reciprocal intercourse of
kindly and friendly acts , and mutually promote the welfare and happiness of each other . If we do this , we can then with complacency , without fear or trembling , quit this sublunary abode , and say that our work is well finished , and leave it with a firm hope of being partakers of the honours frc : ly dispensed in the Grand Lodgeabove , where the worlds (" rent Architect lives and reigns for ever . ( Applause . )

he always carried out the great princip le of Freemasonry , even to those without the pale of it , and to whom he owed no other tie than that of a desire to assist his fellow-creatures in the hour of their misfortunes . When nature failed him , and advancing age induced him lo appeal tohis brother Masons
in the time of affliction , from the recollection of his many virtues , it was at once responded to . The solace of an income , ancl a home which should cheer him in thedeclining hours of his life ancl renderthem happy and comfortable , were placed before him ; but , alas ' . for the mutability of human affairs ,
the ready aid of his brother Masons came too late . He had scarcely come into the enjoyment of it when his brain became weakened , reason was no longer able to assume her sway , and without further pursuing the melancholy subject , suffice it to sav lhat our poor Bro . Sloman ended his days in a
pauper ' s home . From his end let us draw a moral . Let it teach us to do all the good we can " while it is yet dav ; " let us draw closer ancl closer those bonds of ' fraternity that link us together , so that during the short space which is allotted to our present existence we may wisely and usefully employ our time in the reciprocal intercourse of
kindly and friendly acts , and mutually promote the welfare and happiness of each other . If we do this , we can then with complacency , without fear or trembling , quit this sublunary abode , and say that our work is well finished , and leave it with a firm hope of being partakers of the honours frc : ly dispensed in the Grand Lodgeabove , where the worlds (" rent Architect lives and reigns for ever .
