ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

Although the system of jo,nt-stock banking has been esta-
blished to meet the requirements of most departments of
trade, it has not bent introluced 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 of sup-
plies —yet the whole business. amounting 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 office in the City,
as well as at Smithfield and the Me'ropolitan Watt e-market ;
and subs( quently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening
branches in he agricultoral districts.

The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business
to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre-
ciat 'd by a k no mledge that the method in which de.ilings are
carried on at the Cat' le-market c institute, the ba ik, the de-
po•itory of all the moneys passing irocn the buyer to the
producer.
The Directors have entered into provisional arraneements
by which the advantage of c .mmencing up eatall shed
connexion, under competent and experienc d manageme ,t,
will be secured to Sharchnlrters fr In the c )mmence-
meet of business, by whicTi they are warranted in expect-
ing that they wi 1 be enabled to ee.dare a dividend during
the first year.

Should no al otment take plat- the depoiits will be returned
in full. Should a less number of Shares be a 1 )tied thin are
applied for, the deposit wit be made available towards the
p ,yment on llotmenr, and the ba ante, if any, returned to
the anvil° tut.

PROSPECTUS.
Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger
traffic which exists between this country, America, the West
Indies, and Canada passes.
It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommoda-
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
u•t 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 sites in the town. It
contains about 200 rooms, turnished in the best style.
Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of
storing about 3.000 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 IJnited 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-
mises, 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.
'I here will be no promotion money, and the preliminary
expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred.
If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi 1
be returned in full ; and if a less number of shares be allotte
than are applied for, the balance of such deposit will be cre-
dited towards the payment on a'lotment.
Plans of the property maybe seen at the Offices of the Com-
pany, and also at the Brokers, where Pr,spectuses and Forms
of Application for Shares may be had.
