PROSPECTUS.
The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited), is formed to supply
a want which has been long felt, and its value will be imme-
diate '3, recognised.
Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac-
tures of Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it hqs not a single
Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean. the East Indies,
China, or Australia.
The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures
to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about
forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped
from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into
Liverpool was of a va ue of upwards of sixty millions, making
a total of one hundred millions sterling-.
Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches
in different countries, established for the purpose of affording
every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of
this description, with 1.8 head-quarters in Liverpool, con-
nected with the East.

The profitable nature of Exchange business is we'l known,
and the practice which has become so general of attaching
Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest
description of Banking business.
Some evidence of the safety and profitable character of the
business is afforded by the present values of the undermen-
tioned Banks, whose chief sources of profits are in connection
with Exchange operations,

The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited', will have its head-
quarters in Liverpool. Branch Banks will be furmed, in the
first instance, at Alexandria, Bombay, Calcutta, China, and
Australia, and as the business develops, at other places.
The Directors of the Eastern Exchange Bank will make
arrangements for London business, constituting a first-ea.,s
London Banking Agency on mutually advantageous terms.
The business of the Bank will chiefly consist in negotiating
mercantile bills of exchange, granting drafts, in negotiating
and collecting bills
.payable at places where the Bank has
Branches or Agencies. It will issue circular notes and let-
ters of credit, will undertake the purchase and sale of secu-
rities, the receipt of dividends. and eff,ct remittances between
the several places, including London, at which its Agencies
an,i Branches will be established.
The Bank is founded under " The Companies Act, 1'62,"
whereby the respective liability of each Shareholder is
limited to the amount of his Shares.
There will be no fee for promotion; the remuneration of
the Directors will be fixed by the Shareholders at each
annual meeting ; and the preliminary expenses will be con-
fined to indispensable outlay.
The Articles of Association lie at the Office of the Solicitors
for inspection.
Applications for Shares must be accompanied with a
Banker's Receipt for £1 per Share.
In case the amount so paid should exceed £3 per Share on
the number of Shares allotted, the surplus will be returned ;
but it it should fall short, the balance must be paid within
seven days after notice of allotment, or in default, the allot-
ment will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited.
If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full.
Applications for Shares may be sent through the Solicitors
or Brokers of the Company, from whom Forms of Application
may be had.
