The application of the joint-stock principle to Banking and
Exchanges, under the control and general management of
boards of di ectors in London, has proved so eminently suc-
cessful in the Brit sh colonies and dependencies, more parti-
cularly in the East and West Indies, that it is deemed xpe-
dient to intro nc that system into the Continent of Europe,
with which onr commerci tl intercourse is now so great as to
demand ,dd tionu facilities and safety in support of our mu-
tual monetary transactions.
Banking on the Engish system, and with English capital,
has already been applied with success to foreign countries in
the instances of tt.e t Atoman Bank as regards Turkey, and
the Bank of Eypt in Egypt, both conducted under Royal
Charters of Incorporation. ( ether companies have more re-
cently been established, with similar objects, under the
Limited Liability Act.
The Directors pr pose to take powers to apply for a special
Charter for this Bank.

In the limits of TP;ospectus it is impossible to enter into
full details, but official statistics are available to show the
increase in the totals of o,ir Imi,orts and exports of merchan-
d: -e wit!} the principal countries of Central Europe, between
the ye ,rs 185} an 1 1.461, which may b - briefly given thus:—
With France, from 17 f o 3i millions ; with Germany, from 16
to 19 millions ; with Holland, trom 13 to 18 millions ; with.
Italy, f rom 5 to 9 millions ; and with Spain, from 5 to 8 mil-
lions sterling-.
Arrangements are matured to secure the services of gentle-
men of large experience to conduct the Foreign Department
of the business.
