The sound principles upon which the system of joint-stock banking is based, and the benefits which its practical application have conferred upon the public, are now universally admitted. Banking companies, with large subscribed a_id paid-up capitals, and protected by the responsibility of nimerous partners, have been long in profitable operation in every part of the kingdom. In the city of London there are six Joint-stock Banks; and so great is the confidence of the public in the soundness of these establishments, that their deposits amount to more than £30,000,000 sterling. The market value of their shares ranges from b 5 to upwards of 200 per cent, premium upon the amount paid, and is founded upon the large dividends they have declared. which at present (in addition to very ample reserve funds), average upwards of 13 per cent. per annum, inclusive of bonuses. It is a remarkable fact, that with the experience of the solidity and usefulness of these institutions, no independent joint.-stock bank exists in the western part of the metropolis, notwithstand ing the increased demand for banking accommodation and the rapid growth of the population. The branches of the City banks are, no doubt, important auxiliaries, but being controlled I) , in structions from the parent office, their managers necessarily exercise a limited discretion. The Western Bank of London will afford to the west of the metropolis all the benefits which are derived from parties who transact their banking business directly with an independent institution. It will have at the West-end its Board of Directors, its Discount and other Committees, who will adapt their system of management to the wants of the various classes of its cus tomers. It will open current accounts, receive deposits at agreed-upon rates of interest, discount bills, make advances upon approved securities, undertake at moderate charges the agency of persons resident abroad, receive dividends upon stocks, public or private ; collect and transmit pays, pensions, and annuities; rind generally carry on all the legitimate opera tions of banking. The financial position of joint-stock banks (unlike that of private partnerships) is published at the yearly and half-yearly meetings of their proprietors, when a balance-sheet, verified by two auditors appointed by that body, is submitted to the scrutiny not only of the proprietors but of the public. The shares in the London joint-stoek banks (including those reoently incorporated) are almost the only description of secu rity which has undergone no depreciation during the war; they have, on the contrary, steadily advanced in value. The subjoined table, extracted from public documents. furnishes unequivecal evidence of the advantages which original proprietors may secure by the investment of capital in joint stock banks:— g capital. s es El S..w 3 2 mg ta z• Name of Bk. ei 7, EA 5 , 0 = Co 1 •-• 4 It E ••• • Subscribd.
