SECRETARY (PRO TEM.)
John Wilson Pillans, Esq.
The vast tide of emigration which has recently flowed from Eng-
land and Scotland into the Australian colonies, composed of indi-
viduals possessing in the aggregate a large amount of capital ; the
recent discoveries of their great mineral wealth, and the increase of
their agricultural and commercial resources, render the extension of
sound Banking Establishments, under cautious management, a sub-
ject of the greatest importance to the future welfare of those valuable
and rising colonies.
The English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank has been
formed for the purpose of establishing banks of issue and deposit in
the principal towns of Australia ; for conducting exchange opera-
tions ; for making advances upon bullion, gold dust, and other un-
doubted securities : for granting letters of credit upon the different
establishments of the company, and for the transaction of all other
usual banking business in the colonies.
The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that they have
secured the co-operation of several influential parties in Scotland,
with a view to place the business of the company upon an extended
basis.
It is intended that the management of the company's affairs shall
be vested in a London Board, and that the Branch Establishments
in the colonies shall be conducted by properly qualified managers,
assisted by Local Boards. The selection of a Colonial Inspector will
receive the most careful attention of the Directors.
The intercourse between Great Britain and Australia has now be-
come certain and regular, by the establishment of direct steam com-
munication with that country, and the Directors in London will thus
be enabled to exercise 813 efficient control over the local managers of
the branches to be established in Australia.
The high ra•e of interest obtainable in Australia for advances on
good security, promises a profitable employment for the capital of
the Company whilst the impulse given to commercial undertakings
by the recent gold discoveries, will secure an ample return upon the
various branches of business to be carried on by the Company at its
Local Establishments.
The great field open for this Company's operations may be under-
stood from the fact, that there are only two establ
establishments
with
in
England at present employed in conducting banking aff
the important colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, and these
are eminently successful, and are realising large profits for the share-
holders.
It appears from the last printed half-yearly report of the Bank of
New South Wales, dated 21st April, 1852, that the following results
have been realised b y that well-conducted establishment.
The Directors state that the profit and loss account will enable
them to declare, not only the usual dividend, at the rate of 10 per
cent. per annum, but an extra dividend, at the rate of 10 per cent.
for the half year, to be applied in aid of the extension of the capital.
In addition to the above the Directors state that they have set
apart 5,0001. to defray the cost of freight and insurance on the ship-
ment of coin from England; that they have passed 2,4951. 14s. sd.
to the augmentation of the reserved fund; and have carried the
whole of the present office furniture account, and the balance of pre-
liminary expenses to profit and loss account; and, after all these ap-
propriations, it appears from the report that the sum of 1,7381. 7s. 7d.
remained to be carried forward to a new account for equalising fu-
ture dividends.
The Directors allude to the unparalleled circumstances in which
the Branch Bank, at Melbourne, has been placed by the gold dis-
coveries in the sister colony, and they recommend the creivion of
2,500 new shares, of 201 each, for the increase of their capital. They
add that their stock of coin (notwithstanding the great extension of
their exchange business, involving a considerable accumulation of
funds in England), amounted to the large sum of 230,4701. I2s. 6d.,
being more than one-fourth of the whole amount held in the colonies
of New South Wales and Victoria. The Directors state in the report
that having in view the great change in their financial affairs then
in progress, and the duty it appeared to impose upon them of bring-
ing all the resources of the Bank within their immediate control,
they had ordered the shipment to Sydney of upwards of a quarter of
a million sterling from this country.
Application has been made for a Royal Charter of Incorporation
to limit the liability of the Shareholders in the English, Scottish, and
Australian Chartered Bank, and the operations of the Company
will be commenced immediately on the charter being obtained. If
the charter be not granted, the deposits will be returned to the sub-
scribers in full.
Power will be taken by the deed of settlement to be executed in
compliance with the terms of the charter to increase the capital of
the Company to 1,000,000/. ; and, if the capital be increased, the new
shares to be created will be offered, in the first instance, to the
existing Shareholders, and to such influential parties in the colonies
as may be likely to extend the business of the Bank.
It is considered that the deposit of 41. per share will enable the
Directors to commence operations in an efficient manner, and on a
intercommensurate with the importance of the undertaking. An
val of at least three months intervene between all future
calls, none of which, it is expected, will exceed 2/. per share.
Application for Shares may be made, in the form annexed, to the
Secretary (pro tern.), at No. 4, Adam's-court, Old Broad-street,
London; to Messrs. Joshua Hutchinson and Son, 39, Lothbury ;
to Messrs. Sheppard and Sons, No. 28. Threadneedle-street, London;
or to Messrs. Allan and Dunlop, St. Andrew-square, Edinburgh.

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHIRES.

Bank.

in the above undertaking, the whole of which, or any less number

Settlemeat of the Company.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced snore misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed un
few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these

oases.
