The Bank of India is established for the purpose of carrying on the
general business of banking and exchange in India, China, the
Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and other eastern possessions of the
British empire ; for receiving deposits and making remittances ; for
,ranting cash credits and making advances upon approved securi•
ties ; for issuing circular notes payable in Europe, Egypt, the prin-
cipal stations on the Overland routes to India, and at the different
establishments of the bank ; for granting local drafts sad credits ;
and for all other legitmate banking business.
The large capital of the Bank of India will render it a safe medium
of deposits and investment for the Indian community, whilst the
sources of profit to be derived from the extended operations of the
hank, by means of its different agencies, and the high rate of in-
terest obtainable in India, will ensure a large and profitable return
upon the capital invested, and will, it is confidently expected, justify
the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors.
The great success which has attended the operations of the exist-
ing t anteing establishments in this country, connected with the East
Indies and of the well-conducted 1 cal banks in the different Pre-
,ideiaelec, and the encouragement given to the employment of capital
in atmilar undertakings by the extension of commerce and railways,
has led to the formation of the Bank of India.
The extensio❑ of banking facilities necessary to meet the growing
requirements of the mercantile community and of the large civil and
military establishments of India, and the development of the sources
of wealth of that country which must arise from its improved internal
communication by the railways projected and now in progress there,
will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the
Bank at its different branches.
The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage-
ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries
so distant as India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter-
course now existing between these two countries.
The certainty and rapidity of this communication will be further
increased by the new lines of railway now in progress on the conti-
nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of the electric and
sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies
already in operation.
Arrangements are in progress to secure to this Company the co-
operation and support of some of the largest native merchants of
India, which will extend the operations of the Bank amongst that
class of the Indian community.
Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and to the
Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia-
bility of the Shareholders, and power will be taken to increase the
capital of the Company to 2,000,0001. sterling, in which event the
new shares will, in the first instance, be offered for distribution
amongst the existing Shareholders, and such other parties as, from
their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered
likely to extend the business of the Bank.
The arrangements for the constitution of this Company are now
nearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board
of I)irectors, will be pablisb.ed in a few days.
In the meantime, further information may be obtained at the
temporary Offices of tae Company, No. 4, Adam's-court, Old Broad-

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRWEA • ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperms-
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Plckford ; hut the moderate
price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April
18,1852.

about the simple curo of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—oho Bell's Surgical
Obflervations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. CourtenaY) has
given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted,fi for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was nally
removed iu as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag.
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, an yet th
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently
_sucd cessful."e
