This Company is establisied to the purpose of acquiring the
business and counectn.na of existing provincial b•uking esta-
blishments, and of carrying on, senerally, the operations of
oouatry banking, on the Joist stack principle.
Trestles are now prbding for the p. rchase of some private
and Joint stock country establishments, which will form the
Oasis of a large and nom ishiust bank ; end fur that purpose,
full powers hr the increase of capital brie been taken In the
Articles of Association.

It is not proposed to do any banking bathes, to Imam but
Ia addition to acquiring the goodwill and bathe. connelloos
of suiting banks, it Is intend-ea to open branches In prorincial
cities and towns where, owing to the Increase of wealth sad
Par:ltioa, a ratiafacrory Imidams can be uthblished.
nvent amalgamation of two of the largest private beaks
is London with joint stack establishments, following other eom.
Una/lune of a similar nature, and the mahatma advance in
the rice of tanking shares generally, afford conclusive evidence
of tire advantages of the principle of Joint stock association In
bulking bushiest.
If the system of banking earned on by pablit manacles Is
admitted to be so advantageous ha London. where the private
establishments are generally large sad wealthy, it cannot be •
ostler of doubt that the principle Is still more applicable to the
country, where the resources and credit of private Some are
much more limited. The increase, also, of trade In the country
generally has created • demand for further banking acumano-
debit, while It body fu the metropolis that the requirements
of the mercantile community have been adequately considered.
The sham of the three banks In Loudon constituted fur similar
objects are now quoted Si follows, vit. :
Paid. Present Prim.

In further Illustration of the pron• able character of the bad-
ness of the forty-one joint stock banks established during the
past three years, it sill be found on inspection of facia
Wt, that out of that number the shams of al but two
are sale-
able at • considerable advance on their paid up capital.
