The application of the joint-stock principle to Ranking and
Exchanges, under the control and general management of
boards of di ectors in London, has proved so eminently suc-
cessful in the British colonies and dependencies, more parti-
cularly in the East and West Indies, that it is deemed xpe-
client to intro uce that system into the Continent of Europe,
with which our commercill intercourse is now so great as to
demand additional facilities and safety in support of our mu-
tual monetary transactions.
Banking on the Engdsh system, and with English capital,
has already been applied with success to foreign countries in
the ins, ances of t„e atoman Bank as regards Turkey. and
the Bank of Egypt in Egypt, both conducted under Royal
Charters of Incorporation. Other companies have more re-
cently been established, with similar objects, under the
Limited Liability Act.
The Directors prpose to take powers to apply for a special
Charter for this Bank.
In the limits of a prospectus it is impossible tc enter into
full details, but official statistics are available to show the
increase in the totals of our imports and exports of merchan-
di•e with. the principal countries of Central Europe, between
the years 185+ and 1861, which may b, briefly given thus :
With France, from 17 to 35 millions ; with Germany, from 14
to 19 millions ; with Holland, from 13 to 18 millions ; with
Italy, from 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.
The Bank, in addition to ordinary banking operations, will
conduct all the business of Exchange Agents. It will
Import and Export Gold and Silver.
Purchase approved Bills of Exchange, Coupons, Notes, &c.
Undertake Foreign Financial Agencies.
Grant Drafts on its various Agencies, and issue Circular
Notes.

ment be made to the applicant, the depo,it will be returned
