PROSPECTUS.

This Bank is established in order to meet a want which has
long been experienced in Mexico—the want of those assured
Banking facilities which have done so much to stimulate the
industry and develop the resources of other countries.
'flit field before such an Institution, which Mexico and the
South American States present, is most inviting. Its re-
sources in silver are boundless, while the climate of this
wonderful country is such that almost every production of
the soil can be cultivated to an extent which can scarcely be
imagined.

With the hoped-for success which is to be anticipated from
the policy of the new Government, Mexico has a great future
before her. Money there commands at all times a high re-
munerative price, ranging from 10 to 18 per cent., and, as the
field will be almost free, the Bank will be able to select those
securities which are ample and undoubted, on which to make
its several advances.

It will also constitute a favourable feature of the Mekican
Bank that, as a strong London Institution, which has already
secured to itself promise of the support of influential Mexi-
can and South American houses, it will command the confi-
dence of local depositors, who are at the present tine in the
hands of private money-dealers, but who, !"..t) soon as such a
Banking Institution is established in t'tleir midst, will lose
no time in transferring considers
esta-
blishment, as offering a securty, ample and sufficient, which

and the magnitr

subjoined st.dsties
Import of silver into Great Britain from Mexico
South America (except Brazil), for tee eleven
months ending November 30, 1863
Imports of gold ditto ditto 3,493,914
The exports from this country, consisting of Manchester
goods and other .-ritish manufactures, are very considerable;
and this trade will no doubt be extensively augmented as the
empire becomes consolidated and the confidence of merchants
in the stability of the Government is secured.
The Directors of the Mexican Bank will §lso establish a
Branch in Valparaiso, the great commercial sea port of Chill,
and where the want of the facilities which such an institu-
tion could afford is much experienced by English and Ameri-
can, as well as the native mercantile firms, carrying on the
great trade of thaf important territory.
Arrangements are in contemplation for the incorporation
of an existing successful Banking Institution with the Mexi-
can Bank. .

No promotion money will be given in the establishment of
the Mexican Bank, preliminary expenses to be confined to
necessary disbursements.
The remuneration of the Directors left to the Share-
holders.

Prospectuses and forms of applications for shares may be
obtained of the Brokers, Bankers, Solicitors, and at the Tem-
porary Offices of the Company, but no application for shares
will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share has been
previously paid to the Bankers of the Company.
The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of
the Solicitors.

In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit will
be returned without deduction, and should the number al-
lotted he less than the number applied fur, the payment in
excess will be applied towards the amount due.
