"Wo know that the members have- ' a zealous desire 4 o promote our welfare , and we confidently anticipate that ' wo shall not only retain the position which vvo have gained in the metropolis , but that our advance there will in a few years afford one of the most honourable and lucrative tests of the soundness of our principlcs , and the prudence of our practice- " REPORT UST THE DIRECTORS .
