PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been formed by the amalgamation of the
following London firms, for the parpose of carrying on and ex-
tending their business as mercants under the Joint Stock Com-
panies Act with limited liability :
Yew& Robinson and Fleming.
... Redfern, Alexander and Co.
Lane, Hankey, and Co.
Experience h'is shows that undertakings established uthe
principle of limited liability can auccesdully cany out t moat
coundental operations of banking and finance, and the ihrecten
feel assured that mercantile transactions will now be even more
freely entrusted to a comp ay so formed than to private arms.
It la believed that the periodical publication of a Wanes sheet,
with the security afforded by a Urge uncalled capital, will, when
combined with the persona management of a board of es-'
perienoed merohaola, attract business of the beet clam, under
permanently favourable conditions.
The bags of the arrangement with the amalgamated Arms is 1
m follow& :
I. All the Usbilitles and obligations of each house are to be
liquidated altogether independently of the Company, except
whets any such may hereafter be agreed to be taken over by the
board as newt and desirable business.
S. The parners of each boom bind themselves not to enter
Into any fresh mercantile operations in England of a similar
' character during ten years : and the completeness of the transfer.
with the eMelent management of each particular class of bui-
-1 nem, la ensued em
by tbe ling of the e fl
H the board and remaining as directors.mbers The qutharelificationma .
of each director is fixed by the articles of association at 00,000
to be held In the stack of the Company.
S. The tout goodwill of the amalgamated firms will be taken,
one-third in shares, with tee paid, and two thirds in debentures,
payable. with 6 per cent. interest. in equal annual instalments
over ten years; thus identifying the interests of the vendors
completely and continumpdwith that of the Company.
The total amount thus to the three firma for goodwill in
shares and debenture, al I be 076,000, which sum is calculated
upon their actual profits for three years: without estimating any
incresse limn new bushier, or meths' which will be effected by
the amalgamation, and assuming °spy the present profits of the
united firms, a large dividend may therefore be anticipated on
the paid-up capital, from the establishment of the Company.
The amalgamated firma, and their immediate connections are
prepared to subscribe for a large portion of the proposed capital ;
hut. as It is believed that the influence and prosperity of the
Company will be increased by establishing it on a wide and
rgiltlyc rtiatihs,..and that manyrinc "'lts wiVollut the unlimitedoPat;
of partnership, the Directors have decided to open the subkrip
tion to the public.
1',., meet the wishes of those who may desire to pay up et once
the amount that is intended to be called on the shares, it has
i been decided to allow such prepayments to the intent of S-50 per
shore, mud such shares will than rank for dividend In proportion
to the amount paid up. A separate form of application for such
shares is annexed.
There will be no promotion money paid for the formation of
the Company.

of aseoc deposit, may be made to the bankers and brokers. The
