PROSPECTUS.

Although the system of jo'nt-stock banking hasb±en esta-
blished to meet the requirements of most dep,rtmenta of
trade, it hss not been Intro-Neel tor the business of the
Agricultural and t attl-markets of the metropolis; and
though the Npulation has doubled within the last twenty-
five years—and consequently the necessary q fantity of sup-
plies yet the whole business, amounting foiitteen to twenty
millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private
firms.

The Albion Bank is introduced to rrovide increased
facilities for this trade, by establishing an affix, in the City,
as well as at Smithfield and the Mefropolitan watt e-market ;
and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening
branches in she agricult,ral districts.

The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business
to be trans icted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre-
ciated by a k no sledge that the method in which deallags are
carried ou at the Cat le-market constitutes the balk, the de-
po-itory of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the
prodticer.

The Metropolit n Meat or Poultry-market in Smithfield,
now in cours of erection, is destined, by the terms of the act
of Parliament, to combine and suftersede all other markets
for meat in the m-tropolis. To this market will be concen-
trate • all transactions for the supply of butiners' meat,
pou try, and other pr Awe to the inhkbitants of the metro-
polis, and a circle of 14 miles round it.

-
The idrect at s have entered into provisional arrangements
by which the advantage of c mmencing up In an e‘tabl shed
connexion, under competent and experienced manageme t,
will be secured to Shareholders it In the o immence-
mebt of business, by which they are warranted in expect-
ing that they wl 1 be enabled to declare a dividend during
the first sear.

That 'Amber of Joint-Stock Banks m ybe advantageous'y
increased (more p r•icularly u..d. r special circumstance,
such as have ,ed to the formation of the Albion Bank), is de-
monstrated by the f act that so late as six ye r i ago, when
the number of Joint Stock Bank In London was n t more
than six, their total deposits did not ex :eed £22,070,000;
while now that the number of these ban a has been doubled,
the join, deposits are ad eady more than ireb el, amoun ing
to a total of .£71,:92,3C0. Tne dividends of the older banks
range from 15 to 30 per cent. in Accontance with the dates of
their f staba hmtnt ; and the premiums en their shares are
from 203 to 3CO er cent. in a precisely smi ar ratio. u•The
der °sits and divicends of th Joint-Stock B Anita recent y
formed show a rai id progress towards identic .1 results.
Should no al otment take plat .! the deposits will be returned

PROSPECTUS.
Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenzer
traffic which exists between this country, America, the West
Indies, and Canada passes.
It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel aooommoda-
tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary; and to
supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built
within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted
uo on the model of the great American and Continental
Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury
which modern taste can suggest.
The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, apposite the principal
railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It
contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best style.
Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of
storing about 3.1)00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice
wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the
whole town.
T

A. he Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the
Washington Hotel. together with the goodwill, stock in trade,
furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in
the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the
Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital
will be realised.

It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be
the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other
existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other large towns
in the United Kingdom, and also in America.
As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large
returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and
acquiring a business, will be avoided.
The Company will take immediate possession of the pre-
mie es, and enter at once upon the business, consequently re-
turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that
they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate
large dividends for the shareholders.
'I here will be no promotion money, and th' preliminary
expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred.
If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi I
be returned in full ; and if a less numb rot shares be allottel
than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wid be cre-
dited towards the payment on a lotment.
Plans of the pro berty may be seen at the Offices of the Com-
pany, and also at the Brokers, where Prapectuses and Forms
of Application for Shares may be had.
