PaOSPEC ['US.
More than thirty years have elapsed since any leading Bank
has been established in Sco lei d ; and when the following
circumstances are considered, viz., the extraordinary develop -
Ment during this interval of the resource s of the country; th,
extension of steam and railway communication ; the improved
cultivation and value of the land ; the almost wonderful
growth of some of the chief tamscitie d towns, in pppulation.
we th, and enterprise; and thelfliat millions pass an-
nually between Scotland and the commercial Metropolis of
the World; coupled with the universally admitted deficiency
of direct banking accommodation between both countries ;
it will be seen that the present is a peculiarly favourable op-
portunity for successfully introdu ing the London Bank of Scotland (L mated), and securing it an extensive and profit
able bu-ine.s.
All financial operations between Scotland and London are
transacted through Agencies at considerable expense, time.
and trouble, by far the largest proportion both of the Inland
Bills in C rculation in the country, and alto the Foreign Bills
drawn upon Great Britain beim( made payable in London,
the grant focus to whi•h the pecuniary .ransactions of the
pire are ultimately brought to be adjusted.
This Company will be enabled to offer very considerable
advantages to the public, in the uniform and more economical
charge tor the collection, transmission. and liquidation of
bills, mn,ey, exchanges, and other business transactions
betwr en Scotland and London. The remarkable success
attendant upon banking institutions connected with this
country. whether for Ireland. the Continent, o • the Orlonies,
proves that an establishment in London facilitates business,
Whilst laree profits are secured. N ne of the existing Scotch
Barks possess this advantage; and tile Londcn Bank of
Soot ind is established to meet so great a mouetary deli
deratum.
As corroborative of the necessity which exists for extended
banking facilities, it may be also sta,ed, that during the
Babove• mentioned period the external trade of the country
amore than trebled itself. The returns published by the
rrd of Trade Chow that the exports in the year
amounted to .£32,000,000, while in iB6 r they reachtd
£1 5,842,8 7 ; and th t the aggregate value of the impo is in
they. ar 1854 (when first ascertained) was £152,389,0 3, which
in 1859 amounted to £179,'82 35
the home trade during the corresponding period developed
itself to en extent which it'is almost impossible to compote
Regarding these consider time, and the still rapidly-
expanding commercial relations between Edinburgh, Gies-
low, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth. Inverness. Paisley, Stirling,
and other important pla es in Scotland, with London, it has
been decided io constituting thigh int to take powers to o en
Branches, as Or limstances may warrant, in the above cities
end towns, Commen'ing first in Edinburgh and Glasgow,
With a Head Office in London.
The administrat on of the London Bank of Scotland and
[ts Branches will he snperint-nded by men of sound practi-
uti. commercial, and financial know edge, whose position
tnd antecedents will be a sure guarantee of the careful and
[tan management adapted throughout all the details of this
