PROSPECTUS.
This company is established for the purpose of acquiring
the business and connections of ex,sting provincial Bank-
ing Establishments and of carrying on, generally, the opera-
tions of Country Banking on the Joint-Stock principle.
Treaties are now pending for the purchase of some private
and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the
basis of a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose,
full 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 evsting 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, folowing
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 tack 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
Similar objects are now quoted as follows, viz. :
Paid. Present Prices.
The National Provincial Z 1.2
The London and County
The Provincial Bank a 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 all 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 Sol citors. The Articles of Association may be

PROSPECTUS.
The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited), is formed to supply
a want which has been long felt, and its value will be imme-
diate y recognised.
Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
trade, mid is the port through whi passe valuable manufac-
tures .1 Lancashire and Yorkshire
Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean, the East Indies,
Gli'kna, or Australia.
The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures
In 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 avalue or upwards of sixty millions, making
a total of one hundred millions sterlin,„o,
Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches
In different countries, established for the purpose of affordin
every facility in Exchange transactions, there Is no Bank o'
this description, with its head-quarters in Liverpool, con-
nected with the East.
The 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 Exchan€,e operations.
