PROSPECTUS.
This company is established for the purpose of acquiring
the business and connections of existing provincial Bank-
ing Establishments and of carrying on, generally, the opera-
tions of Country Banking on the Joint-Srockpriociple.
Treaties are now pending for the purchase of some private
and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the
balls of a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose,
full powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the
Articles of Asso.iation.
It is not proposed to do any banking business in London ;
but in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con-
nections of extsting banks, i is intended to open branches
in proving Jai 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, fo:lowing
other combinations of a similar nature, and the continuous
advance in the price of banking shares generally, afford con-
clusive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint-
s toek 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 consthuted for
similar objects are now quoted as follows, viz. :
Paid. Present Prices.
The National Provincial
X 44• £l2 .
The London and County
The Provincial Bank cf Ireland 25 •.. 93 In further illustration of the profitable character of the
business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks established dur-
ing the past three years, it will be found on inspection of the
official list that, out of that number, the shares of alt but
two are saleable at a considerable advance on their paid-up
capital.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained at the Temporary Office of the Company, or of the
Brokers or Officeto. The Articles of Association may be
Been at the of the Solicitors.

Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac-
tures ( f Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it has not a single
Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean, the East Indies,
China, or Australia.
The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures
to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about
forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped
'from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into
Liverpool was of ava ue or uwards of sixty millions, making
a total of one hundred millions sterlin,..,
Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches
in different countries, established for the purpose of affording
every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of
this description, with its head-quarters in Liverpool, con-
nected with the East.
Tne profitable nature of Exchange business is well knOwn,
and the practice which has become so general of attaching
Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest
description of Banking business.
Some evidence of the safety and profitable character of the
business is afforded by the present values of the undermen-
tioned Banks, whose chief sources of profits are in connection
'With Exchange operations,

Then Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited,. will have its head-
quarters in Liverpool. Branch Banks will be formed, in the
first instance, at Alexandria, Bombay, Calcutta, China, and
Australia, and as the business develops, at other places.
The Directors of the Eastern Exchange Bank will make
zirTangements for London business, constituting a first-class
London Banking Agency on mutually advantageous terms.
Ihe business of the Bank will chiefly consist in negotiating
'mercantile bills of exchange, granting drafts, in negotiating
and collecting bits
.payable at places where the Bank has
Branches or Agencies. It will issue circular notes and let-
ters of credit, will undertake the purchase and sale of secu-
rities, the receipt of dividends, and efftct remittances between
'the several places, including London, at which its Agencies
and Branches will be established.
The Bank is founded under "The Companies Act, 1t62,"
