ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

Although the system of jo'nt-stock banking has ben esta-
blished to meet the rcquirements of most departments of
trade, it has not be °n intro timed for the business of the
Agricultural and tattle-markets of the metropolis ; and
though the population has doubled within the last twenty-
five years—and consequently the necessary cuiantity of sup-
plies —yet the whole business, anruuting to fifteen to twenty
millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private
firms.
The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased
facilities for this trade, by establishing an off n, in the City,
as well as at Smithfield and the Me•ropolitan Catt e-market ;
and subsequently, show d it be found cesirable, by opening
branches in he agriculteral tilstricts.
The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business
to be trans lcted by the Al ion Bank can be rea iily appre-
eiat-d by a k no xledge that the method in which de dings are
carrie i ont at the Cat, le-mar;•et c Its tit ute the ba 'k, the de-
po;itory of all the moneys passing troat the buyer to the
producer.
The )Irect ors have cntered into provisional arrangements
by which the advantage of c mmencing up m an estatl shed
connexion, under competent and experieno d manageme-t,
will be se,ured to Shareholders fr im the c )mmence-
meat of basin. se, by which they are warranted in expect-
ing that they wi 1 be enabled to de:dare a dividend during
the first ear.

PROSPECTUS.
Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger
traffic which exists between this country, America, the West
'wiles, and Canada passes.
It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel acoommoda-
tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary ; and to
supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built
within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted
mi on the model of the great American and Continental
Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury
which modern taste can suggest.
The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal
railway terminus, on one of the finest Wei in the town. It
contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best style.
Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of
storing about 3.(00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice
wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the
whole town.
The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the
Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade,
furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in
the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the
Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital
will be realised.
It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be
the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other
existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other la ge towns
in the United Kingdom, and also in America.
As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large
returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and
acquiring a business, will be avoided.
The Company will take immediate possession of the pre-
mi-es, and enter at once upon the business, consequently re-
turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that
they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate
large dividends for the shareholders.
'there will be no promotion money, and th. preliminary
expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred.
If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi 1
be retnrned in full ; and if a less number of shares be allotte
than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wi,l be cre-
dited towards the payment on alotment.
Plans of the prot,erty may be seen at the Offices of the Com-
pany, and also at the Brokers, where Pr3spectuses and Forms
of Application for Shares may be had. ,
