PROSPECTUS.
This company is established for the purpose of acquiring
the business and connections of ex sting provincial Bank-
ing Establiatiments and of carrying on, generally, the opera-
tions of CorAntry Banking on the Joint-Stock principle.
Treaties, are now pending for the purchase of some private
and join'.;-stock country establishments, which will form the
basis 44' a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose,
full t owers for the increase of capital have been taten in the
Art Acles of Association.
'At is not proposed to do any banking business in London ;
hat in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con-
a ections of ex. sting banks, i is intended to open branches
in provincial cities and towns where, owing to the increase
'of wealth and population, a satisfactory business can be esta-
blished. •
The recent amalgamation of tw of the largest private
banks in London with joint• stock establishments, blowing
other combinations of a similar nature, and the continuous
advance in the price of banking shares generally, afford con-
elusive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint-
Cork association in banking business.
If the system of banking carried on by public companies is
admitted to be so advantageous in London, where the pri-
vate establishments are generally large and wealthy, it can-
not be a matter of doubt that the principle is still more ap •
plicable to the country, where the resources and credit of
'private firms are much more limited. The increase, also, of
trade in the country genera ly has crea ed a demand for fur-
ther banking accommodation, while it is only in the metro-
polis that the requirements of the mercantile community
have been adequately considered.
The shares of the three Banks in London constituted for
silabwr otject s are now quoted as follows, viz.:
• The National Provincial Paid. Present Prices.£l2 .£4l
The London and County
65
The Provincial Bank cf Ireland. 4 85
03
In further illustration of he profitable character of the
'business of the forty-one Joint-P"cook Banks established dur-
ing the past three years, it be found on inspection of the official list that, out of thla number, the shares of alp but
two are saleable at aco 't
advance on their paid-up
capital.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be

rther patents, to construct '.eel under Bessemer's or
steel shot and shell, draw 6 receel ordnance, manufacture
feeel wire, manufacture and erect
steam engines, boilers, ae
ed all kinds of machinery and im-
plements for mining, `..aanufacturing, and agricultural pur-
poses, and to carry en the business of engineers and mill-
wrights, ac Tavietock, in the county of Devon. The Directors have entered into an agreement for the
purchase, on, terms favourable for the Company, of the pre-
mises, machinery, plant, stock in trade, patent rights and
goodwill of the business of Messrs. Gill and Company,
Engineers and Iron-founders, of Tavistock, whose works
have been successfully carried on for the last sixty years,
and who have long since established a reputation for the
excelleeece of their manufacture of steam engines and boilers,
chains, hammered iron, edge tools, and every description of
roireing and other machinery.
The property consists of about thirteen acres of land,
'held under a long lease from the Duke of Bedford, and
comprises, besides the ground devoted to the works, a com-
fortable mansion with plantations and grounds, a house for
the manager, and cottages and gardens for the workmen,
all of which aro let at remunerative rentals. There is also
never-failing water-pozer maintained at the cost of the
Duke of Bedford, suffi.cient' to carry on all the operations of
there Company, and b,y means of which great economy and
a pportionate in'aease of profit is secured.
The property and business thus purchased include several
valuable pateret rights and contracts ; amongst others a very
advantaeeo'as contract for the extensive manufacture of
Cretee'al'eaeumatic Tunnelling Engines, which are destined
to effect,; a complete revolution in the scientific working of
Laura; also a licence on favourable terms to manufacture
tl'e Blakely guns, for which profitable contracts can be im-
mediately obtained. Other very important contracts, which
the board consider will alone produce a good dividend to
the shareholders, have been provisionally secured, and will
be completed as soon as the Company is in a position to
undertake them.
The Directors only consider it necessary to allude to the
large profits realised by the manufacture of steel (which at
the present cost of its manufacture ultimately take the place
of iron in most instances), and the remunerative business of
manufacturing steel ordnance, shot, and shell, for foreign
dividends will
Governments,
be realised to satisfy the sharehold ere that handsome
The premises are easily accessible by canal from Ply-
mouth Sound, and by railway from all other parts of the
kingdom, and being situated in the midst of a prosperous
and constantly increasing mining district, a large amount
of business with mines can be ensured.
The Company will take possession of the works on the
30th of April, 1864, and are to be entitled to the profits of
:Messrs. Gill and Co.'s business since the 30th of September,
1863. as well as the benefit of all contracts entered into since
that date. No promotion money whatever will be paid.
Of the first issue of 5,000 shares, nearly one-half have
been subscribed for, and the remainder are now offered to
the public.

1. The object of this Association is to promote and en-
courage the monetary, financial, and industrial undertakings
of the kingdom of Italy.
2. Whilst the territorial and commercial development of
Italy has been se great, and has lately been so much en-
larged under the influence of the constitutional system of
government, and the recent liberal treaties of commerce,
capital is imperatively required for the development of the
vast material resources of the kingdom.
?,. There are few countries which present so extensive
and profitable a field for the safe and remunerative employ-
ment of capital.
4. A very important operation will at once recommend
itself to the attention of the directors, and one which will
be within the province of the Association—the negotiation
with the Italian Government for the proposed sale of the
Crown lands.

5. The operations will embrace—the negotiation of Go-
vernment and municipal loans ; advances upon all securities
affording adequate guarantees, and financial accommodation
to the concessionaries of, or other parties interested in rail-
way and other important public works. These works are
frequently undertaken by local municipalities whose en-
gagements are guaranteed by the isssue of obligations or
debentures, secured on their revenues. These securities
have always sustained their value in the monetary
markets.

6. A;an evidence of the rapid advance which Italy has
made in her trade and commerce, it is shown by the official
reports that the declared value of the imports and exports
of the kingdom now amounts to upwards of 80 millions
sterling, being an increase of £20,000,000 beyond the value
in 1858.

7. An association of this nature so much required, and
being introduced upon a scale commensurate with the great
resources of the Kingdom of Italy, will be most favourably
received by the Government, as well as by the commercial
community.
8. Important relations have already been established
with influential banking houses and capitalists in Italy,
with a view to the immediate commencement of the busi-
ness of the Association.
9. The seat of Administration will be in London.
10. In the event of no allotment of shares being made,
the deposit will be returned in full. Sh uld a less number
of shares be allotted than is applied for, the deposit will be
made availablo towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance (if any) returned to the applicant.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained at the temporary offices of the Company, from the
solicitors, or the brokers.
