PEOSPEcTIJS.
Although within the past few'years considerable addition
has been made to the banking capital of our great Eastern
possessions, it must still be admitted that in India, China,
Japan, and Australia, as well as in the Eastern Archipelago
generally, business has grealy outrun existing banking ac-
commodation, and the necessity azain presses hard and
severe upon trade in these parts for greatly increased mone-
tary facilities.
To meet this necessity in some measure, the British and
Netherlands India Bank is established; and, a though it takes
powers in its Articles of Association to enter upon any por-
tion of the wide field before it, not only in India, China, and
Australia, but also in the Eastern Archipelago, yet its first
operations will be directed to those parts which have been
-chiefly neglected by the newly-created kindred institutions.
Chief among these fields in India will be the Madras Presi-
dency, and some estimate may be formed of its value when it
is stated that the import and export trade of Southern India
have more than doubled within the last five years, and the
extension of the railway system to that portion of Asia, and
the application of European capital to the development of its
great resources, as a coffee, cotton, and tea growing territory,
have increased its productive power to such extent that a
great addition of banking capital is absolutely necessary to
meet the legitimate requirements of commerce.
The British and Netherlands India Bank will also, without
loss of time, estab'ish branehes in China, Japan, and Batavia,
and arrangements are contemplated with an Australian
Bank, by which its operations will likewise be effectually ex-
tended to that field.
As a profitable investment the British and Netherlands
India Bank offers a very desirable opportunity. It will com-
mence operations under promises of very valuable and most
extensive suppert ; and at a time when the joint-stock prin-
ciple in banking is penetrating with new ease every part of
the rich fields presented in the East, it wi 1 participate at
once in that very lucrative business which was once the
monopoly of native discounters.
Every description of exchange banking business will also
be undertaken by the British and Netherlands India Bank,
and it will constitute a peculiar feature of the Company, that
under satisfactory securities it will issue credits to producers,
through which large commissions are made to the bank.

No promotion money will be given in the establishment of
the British and Netherlands India Bank. The preliminary
expenses wilt be confined to necessary disbursements.
The remuneration of the Directors left to the shareholders.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained of the Brokers, Bankers, and at the Temporary
