PROSPECTUS.
This Bank is founded on the basis of the well-known and
old established Firms of Pastre Freres and G. Sinadino and
Co., of Alexandria, under the following circumstances :
The trade and commerce of Egypt, which have been for a
series of years steadily increasing, are now raised by the
change in the cotton trade, caused by the American war, into
first rate importance, and corresponding banking and finan-
cial facilities are required.
The export value of the cotton crop of Egypt for the pre-
sent yearis estimated at £17,000,000 ; the population is now
from 5,0(0,000 to 6,000,000. The financial potption of the
country is most flourishing, all the elements of wealth and
I rosperity are rapidly expanding, and an extensive field is
opened for public works and industrial under akings of all
kinds.
The situation of Egypt, half way between England and
India, makes it also an important station for a large portion
of the exchange and other financial operations connected
with the immense trade between Europe and the East,
The Agra and Masterman's Bank, having a leading posi-
tion both in Eng and and India, has felt the advantage
wh;ch would result from having an i de;,' &int Agency in
Egypt, while a great amount of finsell
and industrial busi-
ness, not falling within the so,
tions, will afford large ary banking cpera-
commands such a hip ,pe of ordin

prep- ..tese favourable circumstances an opportunity has
_.-nted itself of founding a powerful Banking and Finan-
oial Corporation, with a ready-made business and first-rate
local influence and connections, by a transfer of the two
establishments of Messrs. Pastre Freres and G. Sinadino
and Co., who have for many years had the honour of trans-
acting banking and mercantile business on account of the
Government of Egypt and of his Highness the Viceroy.
A satis,actory agreement has been made with Messrs Pastre
and S nadino for merging. the whole of the business of these
two establishments in this Bank, a ith the premises occupied
by them, and the entire staff of their intelligent and expe-
r eneed employes.
Messrs. Jules Pastre and G. Sinadino, who are now at tint
head of the establishments in Egypt, and under whose ma-
nagement they have attained their present great prosperity,
will continue to superintend the operations of the new bank
in that country, in concert with English gentlemen of first-
rate banking experience, while the Financial Agency of the
Agra and Masterman's Bank, and of the General Credit and
Finance Company of London, will ensure to this Bank the
full advantages of banking in London, India, and through-
out the Continent of Europe.
The Anglo-Egyptian Hank will thus possess the immense
advantage of entering at once upon a business in full acti-
vity, yieidi g large profits, with the co-operation of gentle-
men who are intimately acquainted with the usages of the
country, and who have for a long series of years retained the
confidence of the Government and of the mercantile commu-
nity in Europe and the East.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association and Copy
of the Agreement with Messrs. Pastre and Sinadino, will
lie for inspection at the Offices of the Solicitors, 20, Austin-
friars.

A large proportion of the Capital is already subscribed.
Subscrip ions for the remaining Shares will be received by
the Agra and Masterman's Bank, 35, Nicholas-lane ; by the
General Credit and Finance Company of London. 7, Loth-
bury ; and by Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, the Brokers of
the Company, where Prospectuses and Forms of Application
may be obtained.

to the Company's Bankers previously to the application being
sent in ; this sum will be returned if no allotment is made to
the applicant.
