The London Financial Association (Limited) invite sub-
scriptions for the Capital Stock of the British and Californian
Banking Company (Limited).
This Bank is established to supply those facilities which
the great ant increasing trade of California imperatively re-
quires. It is remarkable that, while British capital has been
seeking investment in joint-stock banking operations in
every part of the world. California has been hitherto over-
looked. This omission has excited no little surprise on the
part of the merchants and traders of that State, and the esta-
blishment of this Bank will be eagerly hailed by them.
The following facts show how large a field of operations
will be open to this Institution. The yield of the gold fields
is above £8,000,000 per annum, and is steadily increasing.
Silver mines discovered about four years ago in the new ter-
ritory of Nevada are now producing £200,000 sterling per
month. Great progress has been made in agriculture, and
instead of importing grain, as the gold colonies of Australia
do, California exports largely. The population of the State
exceeds 500,000, exclusive of the Chinese and Indiana, and is
on the increase.

The Great Pacific Railway, for uniting the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, is now under construction. When completed,
it will take only six days to convey passengers and goods
from New York to San Francisco, and the latter place will
then become an important depot for the trade to China,
Japan, and other parts of the East. For the purpose of com-
mugication, California is already brought by telegraph
within ten days of Europe.
There is tri-monthly steam communication between Cali-
fornia and the Eastern States, and Europe, via Panama, and
bi-monthly between San Francisco and the British colonies
to the north. The direct trade between England P. is Cali-
fornia, and between the colonies and Califoritd, is rapidly
increasing; and a large proportion of the ;precious metals is
being sent to London instead of, as forlnerly, to New York.
The facilities for discounting colnmercial paper, and for
deposits, are at present very detuient, contrasting remarkably
with those in the Atlantic S,rates, in India, China, Australia,
and other British posse ',eons. The rate of discount ranges
from Ito 2 per cent. 'per month, and the exchange business is
capable of great de,velo r ment.
The business, of the Bank will include advances on ship-
ments of gr:id, silver, and other produce of the country, the
purchase
of bullion, the niscount of commercial bills, ad-
vance for a limited period on available securities and mer-
ndlse, letters of credit, and all other usual banking
operations.
Applications for shares must be made in the subjoined
form, which may be obtained at the offices of the London
Financial Association (Limited), of the brokers, or of the
bankers.

PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed, not for the purpose of establish-
ing a new Marine Insurance Office in rivalry with offices
already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing
Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry
Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings,
Liverpool.
Mr. Case's sereices, as underwriter, have been secured
upon terms satisfactory to the Directors, dependent in part
upon the success of the Company, and without the payment
of any "promotion money," either in cash or shares.
It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al-
ready possessed by Messrs. Price an I Co. will be retained
and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi-
ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased.
The success which has attended the operations of Marine
Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from
the present value of their Shares in the market, viz.:—
Amount Present Equal
paid. price. to
The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 percent pm.
The British and Foreign 2 415 0 137 „
The Union 2 5 1 3 ' 156 „
The Empire
The Albion .... .
The Mercantile
The stric!est economy will be exercised in working, and the
preliminary expenses will consist solely of the actual neces-
sary disbursements and legal charges.
Applications for Shares must be accompanied by a payment
of £1 per share, which will be retained on account of the full
payment of £2 per share on the number of shares which may
be allotted to the applicant, and will be liable to forfeiture it
payment of the remaininc, £1 per share be not made at the
time to be stated in the notice of allotment.
Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the
brokers, and also at the temporary offices of the Company,
4 and 5, Brown's-buildings, Liverpool.
In cases where no allotments are made, the deposit will be
returned without deduction.

the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted without
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, wiou
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
