The British and American Etch•nge Banking Corporation iLl-
natteen 6furssed for the purrieme chiefly of dealille lu OiChAllges—s
business which, exceptifig with British possessions. ba• hitherto
been mainly in the hands of private firma . 1113 d it Is well known
that with many countries suck banking facilities have not been
afforded to Merchants and other, as the vastly extended com-
merce of the preeent day demands. This Is particularly the case
In the trade between England and America. and It Is proposed
that this Corporation shall commence Its operations by the estab-
lishment of an agency in New York.

The profitable nature of Exchange business Is well known,
especially that with the American States, and although the profit
Is atpreseat greater than can be calculated upon in ordinary years,
there Is generally a much larger margin than is usually found
remunerative by bankers. The purchase and sale on commis-
sion of securities in New York and London, the dealings In
which amount annually to many millions sterling, and the re.
mlttanceis of interest and dividend; will afford other sources of
/W°lll' ..

—The practice now become very preessneers' of attaching hills of
lading to bids of exchange as collateral security, readers en-
change operations more than usually ash, whilst the shipment
of gold involves scarcely any risk whatever,
The shipments of predates and specie trews New York alone for
the past year have amounted to nearly forty millions sterling,
and the average of several years has not been much Irk There
Is thus a very extended field for the operations of the corpo-
ration. and the facilities which ft wdl afford, both In this °wintry
and America, mast tend to promote, and still further to extend,
the commercial and monetary transactions between the two
countries.

—The same remarks are applicable to other places in which the
establishment of agencies is contemplated.
A large business is also anticipated betwixt America and the
ports la India and (Alm, which will be carried out in coope-
ration with the Oriental Bank Corporation.
The anceess of Joint Stock Banks dealing In Exchange is evi-
denced by the present quotations of the shares of the nudes,
menUoned Companies and it Is somewhat remarkable that the
Joint Stock principle ham sot yet been adopted In the American
trade, though presenting a wider field for Its proillsl99 operation
than, any other part of the world.

The application of the joint 'dock principle to hinting and
exchanges, under the control and general management of boards

Knot and West Irdies, that it I. deemed expedient to introduce
that widen into the Continent of Europe, with which our com-
mercial Intercourse Is now no great se to demand additional
facilities and misty I. support of oar mutual in inetsry trans-
actions.

'farces of the Ottoman Rank as regard. Turkey, and the Bsok of

poration. Other cornp-mies have more recently been established.
with aimtlar objects, under the Limited Lialgitty Act.

charter for thin flank.
