Paid-up Capital ..£4,60,.00.)
Most of these Banks have besides paid large Bonuses to their
P. oprietary, and all of them have allowed Interest on Deposits. •
The remaining seventeen Joint-stock Banks in Scotland are in
the same flourishing condition, and such, indeed, has been the pro-
gress of the system that of the many private Banks formerly carrying
on business in Edinburgh only ons exists at present.
There are only three Joint Stock Banks in London, with a paid
up capital of 1,000,000/., the Shares of all of which are at a high
Premium.

It is the intention of the Directors to allow interest on deposit
aecounts, under proper rules and regulations, which, with other
details as to the transaction of business with the Bank, will be
hereafter announced.

As a sufficient capital has already been subscribed to enable the
Directors to commence business immediately, they have resolved,
in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise
in other undertakings from an unrestricted application for shares,
and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona
lido proprietors, will net entertain any application unless made
in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accom-
panied by a payment of 21. upon each share applied for, the Di-
rectors reserving to themselves at the time of appropriation the
right to reject or comply with such application either in whole or
in part; the money to be returned without deduction, if the appli.
cation be rejected, and if accepted to be placed to the credit of the
party in respect to the shares allotted to him.
It is not in contemplation to call up more than 101. per share for
the neat two years.
Deposits, in accordance with the printed forms, may be paid,
and prospectuses obtained, as under :
London—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, 4, New 13ank-buildings.
