This company PROSPECTUS.
the bu • is established for the purpose of acquiring
,n mess and connections of ex sting provinciat Bank-
!. g Establishments acd of carrying on, generally, the opera-
-113 of Country Banking- on the Joint-Stock pri.iciple
Treaties are now pending for tbe purchase of some private
,a.t joint-stock country establishments, which will form the
basis'full
of a large and flourishing, bank ; and, for that purpose,
powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the
Articles of Association.
_ It is not proposed to do any banking business in London;
but in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con-
nections of ersting 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 two of the largest private
banks in London with joint-stock establishments, following
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-
Work 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-
-rate establishments are generally large and wealthy, it can-
not be a matter of doubt that the principle is still more apf
-
plicable to the country,
m where the resources and credit o
private firms are much ore limited. The increase, also, of
trade in the country generally has crea ed a demand for
mefur-
ther banking accommodation, while it is only in the
polis that the requirements of the mercantile community
have been adequately, considered.
,_The Shares of the three Banks in London constituted for
*guar object s are now quoted as follows, viz.:--
Paid. Present PriCes.
The National provincial......:. £l2 .. £44
65
The London and County ..... 20 • •
The Provincial Bank of Ireland.. 25 . •
In further illustration of the profitable a
character of the
business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks establish
of the
dur-
ing the past three years, it will be found on snapn
officia list that, out of that number, the of ali but
two are saleable at 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 Sol eitors. The Articles of Association may oe

The Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great
Financial Associations recently established.
It is not the province of these Institutions to carry
ob-
out
the public works contemplated in the concessions they
tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera-
tion of contractors whose capital and position offer an un-
deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus
relieving the financial associations of that responsibility.
The constantly increasing scale on which public works
involved, of
all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital
place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un-
less supported by joint-stock enterprise.
This Oompany has, therefore, been formed fer the pur-
Page of undertaking the execution of great public works,
and arrangements have been entered into with well known
contractors, by which contracts to the amount of £11,000,000
:sterling will be turned over to the Company.
Among other contracts handed over to the Company is
that for the construction of the European Central Railway,
'which has been secured on favourable terms, and will be
commenced forthwith.
The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose ls:„i..
mess has been secured, will be retained to execute ti-,,,,, work
on terms highly advantageous to the Company. ‘-..e.e retaining
a largo interest in the Company by receiyirg 'pay. ment for
the transfer of his contracts in Shares wf'.0.15 only credited
thereon.
It is well known that many ur..etertakings of great com-
mercial value have hitherto re:Audtted in abeyance for want
of Contractors who can com7.nand the necessary resources to
ensure their completion. This Company, combining the in-
fluence of a large sube
;eribed capital, extensive financial co-
operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi-
ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence
on the part of governments, public bodies, and the great
financial in:ditutions, as will enable it to command an ex-
tensive b-asiness on favourable terms.
Pros pectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained
at filo Offices of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli-
citors, and Bankers.
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will
las returned in full. Should a less number of shares be
allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made
available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.
