This Company has been formed by amalgamation of the
following London arms, for the purpose of carrying on and ex-
tending their business as men:ants under the Joint Stock Com-
panies Act with limited liability

Lane, liankey, and Co.
Experience his shown that undertakings established upon the
principle of limited liability can successfully carry out the most
confidential operations of banking and finance, and the directors
feel a.sured that mercantile transaction. will sow be even more
freely entrusted to & company so formed than to private firms.
It is believed that the periodical publication of a balance sheet,
with the security afforded by a iarge uncalled capital, will, when
combined with the personal management of a board of wi-
t erienced merchants, attract business of the bent clam, under
permanently favourable condition.
The bards of the arrangement with the amalgamated Orme is
as follows :
1. AU the liabilities and obligations of each house are to be
liquidated altogether independently of the Company, exapt
where any such may hereafter be agreed lobe taken over by the
board as new end desirable bush e.g.
2. The partners of each house Mud themselves not to enter
into any fresh mercantile opetations in linglarel of • similar
character dieing ten years ; and the eoepletenees of the transfer,
with the efficient management of each particular clam of bud-
bees, is ensured by the leading members of the three t 1 ins
Peeing the board and remaining as directors. The qualification
of each director Is fined by the articles of association at 610,000
to be fiddle the stock of the Company.
3. The total good will of the amalgamated firma will be taken,
one-third in shares, with PAO paid, and two thirds in debentures,
payable, with 6 per cent. interest. le equal annual instalmenta
over ten years; thus identifyieg the interests of the vendor,completely end continuouttr with that of the Company.
The total amount thus dto the three firms for goodwill in
sharesand debentures el be 0375,000, which sum is calculated
upon their actual profits for three yearn; without estimating any
lama.' bow new business, or saviors which will he effected by
the amaimunetion, and assuming on,y the present profits of the
united firms, • large dividend may therefore be anticipated on
the paid-up capital, from the establishment .1 the Company.
The amalgamated firms, and their immediate connections, are
prepared to aubscrlbe for a large portion of the proposed capital;
but. as it is believed that the influence and prosperity of the
Company will be increased by istablishing it on a wide sad
public basis, and that many investors will gladly seize the oppor-
tunity of thus becoming merchant* without the unlimited risks
of partnership, the Directors have decided to open the subscrip-
tion to the public.
To meet the wishes of those who may desire to pay up at once
the amount that Is Intended to be milled on the shares, it has
been decided to allow such prepayments to the extent of L 1.60 per
share, and such shares will then rank foe dividend in proportion
to the amount paid up. A separate form of application fur such
shares Is annexed.
There will be no promotion money paid for the formation of

the Company.
Application. for .hares, accompanied by a remittance fur the
deposit. may be made to the bankers and brokers. The articles
of association. are open for' lapertion at the Mice of the solicitors.
