the commerce of this country,
and its present healthy condiVon, calls for a corresponding
increase in all the means which are necessary for ducting it, and the ready conversion of Bills of (Exchange,

interest as a means of employing sur,lus Funds with perfect
security, and private depositors will always be enabled to se-

The moment for establ:shing this Company is peculiarly
appropriate, the trade of the country is comparatively free
from' speculative inflation, and there is IL) doubt that in the

The Principle of carrying on discount onerations by means
Of a Joint-stock. Company has been tested and fully proved,
and scarcely a doubt can exist of the perfect success
of an institution for this object under good management and
founded on a sound basis.
The directors, being fully impressed tha' much valuable

terprises for want of experienced managementiantrafnearthieer
Years of their foundation, have concluded negontin
purchase and transfer of the long-established business of
Mr. J. P. Wilkinson (formerly Brace and Wilkinson', whose
undivided services have been secured as Managing Director,
thus enabling the Company to commence operations on an

to be made to p, °meters, the necessa y expenses incidental
