It is believed the call for $2500 per share, of which the Glasgow Bank gave notice yesterday, will exhaust the means of smaller shareholders and throw the burden of as- sessment upon a few wealthy ones. This assessment will be further increased by the fact that the Bank itself held a large amount of its own shares—such an amount that about four and a half millions of the present call would have been assessed thereon, and which must consequently be made geod by shareholders. The first in- stalment of the present call is made pay- able the 22nd of December, and the second the 24th February.

The City of Glasgow Bank.

THE MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS—THE REV. MR. ROBERTSON’S PLAN.

On Oct. 22, the shareholders of the City of Glasgow Bank met in the City Hall to consider the question of liquidation. Mr. Robert Craig, who holds over £20,000 in stock, occupied the chair, and among those present were six ladies. Mr. Young, of Glasgow, in seconding the motion to read the report of the examiners, said that the report reveals that in June, 1873, there was a deficit of £973,000, which had been ever since covered up by fictitious entries, while dividends of ten and twelve per cent. had been declared and new stock issued. He alluded to other losses since that time, which made the tutal of the deficits £5,190,- 000 ($25,119,000. )

Rev. Mr. Robertson proposed a motion that, as it was proved the bank cannot, by reason of its liabilities continue business, it was advisable to wind up.

‘*We meet,” the Rev. gentleman mourn- fully said, ‘‘under adverse circumstances. We are called upon to face a crushing cal- amity, and must acquit ourselves like brave, courageous and honorable men. Respect- ing the directors, I scarcely dare to speak. I must endeavor to restrain my just indig- nation and speak calmly as a minister of religion. Sir, these gentlemen have been faithless to high office, disloyal to truth and the first principles of morality.

‘‘ What, with respect to some of them, deepens the discredit is that they trod the streets of the city arrayed in the garments of relizgiousness, making long prayers while desolating widows’ houses, erecting churches while wrecking homes. Their honor is tar- nished, their reputation stained ; but the day of reckoning has already dawned. The majesty of the law is now vindicating its claim. (Cheers.) For my part I wish them no sorrier, heavier punishment than that they be haunted night and day with the ghastly visions of the hundred of happy lives they have wrecked and blig hted ti the feeling of remorse is ki within their hearts, and they are driven to their Maker’s presence to seek His forgiveness, and that they may leave His presence;de- termined to spend the utmost energies of their remaining years in some poor measure to undo the evil they have done. (Ap- plause. )

‘The report is a sorrowful document, but it gives a few gleams of light. The assets of the bank, miscellaneous as they are, have great value; further, the investigators have not credited the dividends which may be drawn and the bankrupt estimates, which may be very large. We entertain the ex- pectation that one estimate alone will yield something exceeding £500,000 ($2,420,000), We, it seems, although ignorant of it be- fore, are possessed of an American railway, in which these gentlemen or their predeces- sors were good enough to sink a million ster- ling and called it banking. We possess some forty thousand acres of land in New Zealand which the directors last year pur- chased, which they have stocked and taken to the task of farming instead of the task of banking. Still that ground is valuable. Then there are insurance policies for £600,- 000 ($2,904,000). They are of value; even wicked men sometimes die. (Cheers. )

‘* Here is my proposal :—Organize a com- pany, called ‘The City of Glasgow Bank Assets Company,’ with a capital of £2,000,- 000 ($9,680,000) £1,000,000 of* it consisting of ordinary capital, the other £1,000,000 consisting of debentures. Let the company purchase from the liquidators whatever as- sets they are prepared to throw into the market at full market valne, or rather above market value. If this scheme should be carried through, you would, withina year, be ablé to hand over to the liquida- tors £2,000,000.

‘* Many may speak harshly of the posi- tion I have chosen to-day to occupy. They may say lam mingling too much in secular affairs. I reply that in my opinion well- doing is religiousness. (Loud applause.) If the directors believed that religion consist- ed less in solemn phrasings than in right doings, serving God in their day and gener- ation,we should not to-day be placed in these calamituous circumstances. For my part [ am _ not disheartened. If my services be of any value in promoting the scheme I shall, saving my sacred office, devote my time and attention to forwarding its success, believing that doing my humble little to lessen the appalling pressure of the calamity on many suffering hearts I am serving my Maker and Master, as well as when preaching His blessed Gospel. In God’s name and by God’s blessing let us bravely and faithfully struggle through and emerge with honor untouched and reputa- tion unshaken.” (Cheers. )

VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION.

Mr. John Wilsoh, Treasurer of the City of Edinburgh, then moved that the bank’s affairs be wound up im voluntary liquida- tion. This was carried with only one dis- sentient voice. The following liquidators were then nominated : William Anderson, Glasgow ; George Auldjo Jamieson, Edin- burgh ; John (Cameron, Clydesdale Bank, and Mr. Haldane, a partner of Mr. Jamie- son. The usual vote of thanks then con-

cluded the meeting.
