I!ROSPICTCS,

Although the system olloTni-litoc Iftanking has been estab-
lished to meet the regalrements of wet department. of trade.
It has not been introduced for the business of the Agricultural
and Cattle Markets of the metropolis , and though the popula.
Bon has doubled within the bun twenty.live years—and rouse.
fluently the necwmuy quantity of sopplles—yet the whole busi-
ness, amounting to Mt en to twenty millions per annum, fe left
In the hands of a few private Anne.
The Albion Bank Is introduced to provide increased facilities
for this trade, by establishing an office in the City. as well as at
smithileid, and the Metropolitan Cattle Market . and subse-
quently, should It he found desirable, by *ening branches in the
sigricultural districts.
The value of the rapidly IncressingoneemlsUnn business to be
trsipacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appreciated by a
knowledge that the method In which dealings are carried on at
the Cattle !lathe' constitutes the Bank the depository of all the
monies passing from the buyer to the producer.
The Metroreditan Meat or Poultry Market In Smithfield, now
in course of erection, is destined. by the terms of the Art of Par-
liament, to combine and supersede all of-berms/tent for meat to
the metropolis To this market will be coecestrsted allitraneac-
Mons for the supply olibetchenejneat. poultry, end other produce
to the inhabitants of the metropolis, and a circle of fourteen miles
round it.

Directors have entered Into provisional arrangements by
which the advantage of commencing upon an established con-
nexion. under competent and experienced management. wed be
secured to shareholders from the ausinencement of basinees, by
which they are warranted In expecting that they wed be enabled
to declare a dividend during the Ant > ear.
That the number of Joint-stock banks may be art vantageoally
Increased ;more particularly under special circumstances, such
as have led to the formation of the Albion Bank , if demon-
strated by the tact that so late se six years ago, when the
naval:we of joint-stock banks in Loodos was not mom
than six, their total deposits old not exceed 5'.22,000000 .
while now that the number of these banks has been
doubled, the joint deposits are already more than trebled,
amounting fo • total of £71,792,300. The dividends of
the older banks range from I i to 30 per cent., In accordance with
the dates of their estainishmeot ; and the premiums on their
share, are from 200 to 300 per cent., in a precisely similar ratio.
Thedeposits and dividends of the Joint-stock banks recently
f show • rapid progress towards identical results.

Should no allotment take place the deposits will be returned
in full. Should a le!, number of shares be allotted than are
applied for, the depcsit will he made a•Wable towards the pal-
mist onAllotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the ap•
plioent.
Application for shares In the annexed form may be addramed
to the bankers, brokers, or Directors of the Company, and to the
Secretary, at the Maces of the Company.
