ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta-
blished to meet the requirements of most departments of
trade, it has not been intro•iuced for the business of the
Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the metropolis ; and
though the population has doubled within the last twenty-
five years—and consequently the necessary q iantity 01 sup-
plies -yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twent y
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 office in the City,
as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Catt e-market ;
and subs( quently, should it be found desirable, by opening
branches in the agricultural districts.
The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business
to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre-
ciata,d by a kno fvledge that the method in which dealiags are
carried on at the Cattle-market toms titute3 the bank, the de-
po,itory of all the moneys passing iron the buyer to the
producer.
The Directors have entered into provisional arranqements
by which the advantage of c mmencing up to en eAshl shed
connexion, under competent and experienc d management,
will be secured to Shareholders from the c immence-
meet of business, by whic'i they are warranted in expect-
ing that they wi 1 be enabled to de:lire a dividend during
the first .c ear.

Should no al otment take plan:: the deposits will be returned
in full. Should a less number of Shares be a 1 ,tied th -.11 are
applied for, the deposit will be made available tow-ads the
p •yment on •llotment, and the ba ance, if any, returned to
the &polio int.
Application for Shares may be addressed to the Bankers,
Brokers, or Directors of the Company, and to the Sec et iry,
