The prospectus of the London and Colonial
Bank (Limited) has been issued, with a capital
of 500,0001., in shares of 100/. each. It is not in-
tended to call up more than 251. per share. The
direction is respectable, and of a practical cha-
racter. The rapid extension of the British colonies,
and the vast increase in their population and
,wealth, are urged as proofs of the open-
ing presented to further banking enterprise.
The directors propose commencing operations in
the Canadian colonies, which, it is mentioned, have
not been included in recent endeavours to extend
banking accommodation. The action of the bank,
however, will not be confined to any one locality,
power being taken to select the must promising
fields from time to time. It is mentioned that the
inadequacy of present banking facilities is felt by all
classes of the Canadian community, and now that
the attention of capitalists is being turned to the
country through the discovery of the petroleum
wells, of mines, kc., additional banking assistance
is requisite. The local banks have been largely re-
munerative. Ile management of the bank will be
in London, with the establishment in the first in-
stance of a branch at Montreal, under the control
of local directors. A large proportion of the shares
is stated to have been already applied for.

The ordinary geoeral meeting of the Lewes
Assim (Tea) Company is convened for the 29th iust.
