PROSPECTUS.
Although the system of joint-stock baniting has been esta-
blished to meet the ',quire 'tents of most degartme its of
trade, it has r of been 'nt reduced for the business of the agri-
cultural and cltile markets of the metropolis ; and , hough
the population has doubled within the list 25 years, and, con-
l'equ ntly, the necessary quantity of suppl es, yet the whole
[liminess, amounting to t 5 to 2 , millions per annum, is lett in
the hands of a few private firms.
The Albion Bank is introduced to prod. 'e increased facili-
ties for this tr, de by establishing an office in the City, as well
as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Cattle Market ; and
subsequently, should it be found desrab:e, by opening branches
In the agricultural districts. _ .

'I he value of t'e rapidly-increasing commission business
to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre-
ciated by a knowledge that the method in which dealings are
C Tried on at the Cattle Market consti utes the Bank the
depositary of all the moneys patssieg f, om the buyer to the
produ. er.
The Metropolitan Meat or Poultry Market in in Smithfield,
how in course of erection, is destined, by the terns of the
Act of Parliament, to combine and supersede all othee mar-
kets for meat in the metro ohs. To this market will be con-
centrated all transactions for the supply of butchers' meat,
poultry, and other produce to the inhabitants of the metro-
polis and a circle of i 4 miles round it.
The Directors having confirmed the provisional agreement
for the purchase of the lucrative busines of Messrs. Challis
and Son, the advantage of commencing upon an established
connection, under competent and experienced • antat,rement,
will be secured to shareholders from the commenem, nt of
lousiness, by whic't the direl ors are warranted in ,xpecting
thatthey will be enabled to declare a dividend during the
”,
, t the number of joint-stock banks may be advan-
"4eously increased (more particularly under special cir-
cumstance such as have led to the formation of the
Albion Bank), is demonstrated by the fact that, so late
'i six years ago, when the number of joint-stock banks
in London was not more than six, their total deposits
cud not exceed £2?,000,000 ; wlrle, now that the number
of these banks has been doubled, the joint deposits are
llr'adY more than trebled, amountlag to a total of £71,792,300.
The dividends of the older banks range from 15 to 30 per
cent., in accordance with the da es of their establishment :
and the premiums on their shares are from 200 to 300 p-r
cent. in a precisely similar ratio. The deposits and dividends
of the joint-stoca banks recently formed show a rapid pro-
gress towards identical results.
. Should no allotment take place, the deposits will be re-
turned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted
tman are applied for, the deposit will be made available to-
wards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any,
returned to the a• plicant.
Anplication for shares may be addressed to the
