This company is established for the purpose of acquiring
the business and connections of ex sting provincial Bank-
ing Establishments ard of carrying on, generally, the opera-
tions of Country Banking on the Joint-Stock principle.
Treaties are now pending for the purchase of some private
and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the
basis of a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose,
full Powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the
Articles of Asso istion.
It is not proposed to do any banking business in London ;
bat in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con-
nections of ex'sting banks, l. is intended to open branches
in provincial cities and towns where, owing to the increase
of wealth and population, a satisfactory business can be esta-
blished.
The recent amalgamation .of two
of the largest private
-banks in London with joint. stoct establishments, following
other combinations of a simil'Ar nature, and thee,
continuous
advance in the price of bank:,az shares generally, afford con-
clusive evidence of the ad' antages of the ptinciple of joint-
stork association in ban:aing business.
If the system of ba`4lting carrii-d on by public companies is
admitted to be so -'king
in London, where the pri-
vate establishmetas are generally large and wealthy, it can-
not be a matter of doubt that the principle is still more tip •
plicable to the country, where the resources and credit of
private firms tare much. more limited. The increase, also, of
trade in the country g-enera'ly has crea ed a demand for fur-
ther bankin g accommodation, while it is only in the metro-
have bee' polis that
, the requirements of the mercantile community
a adeqately consired.
The P.hares ofu the three Banks in London constituted for
eimi)a,r objects are now quoted as follows, viz.:—

In further illustration of the profitable character of the
business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks established dur-
ing- the past three years, it will be found on inspection of the
official list that, out of that number, the shares of alt but
two are saleable at a considerable advance on their paid-up
capital.

'obtained at the Temporary Office of the Company, or of the

The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited), is formed to supply
t which has been long felt, and its value will be iname-
diate'y recognised.
Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
'trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac-
tures , f Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it h.s 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
from
forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped
Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into
Liverpool was of ava ue of upwards of sixty millions, making
a total of one hundred mill,ons sterling. Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, w;th branches
In different countries, established for the purpose of affording
every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of
this description, with i' s head-quarters' in Liverpool, con-
nected with the East.
The profitable triture of Exchange business is well 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. ~,il
borne evidence of the safety and profl'able 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,
