The application of the joint-stock principle to Banking and
Exchanges, under the control and general management of
boards of directors 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-
dient to intro uce that system into the Continent of Europe,
with which our commercial intercourse is now so great as to
demand additionat facilities and safety in support of our mu-
tual monetary transactions.
Banking on the English system, and with English capital,
has already been applied with success to foreign countries in
the instances of the Ottoman 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 propose to take powers to apply for a special
Charter for this Bank.

In the limits of a prospectus it is impossible to 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 1851 and 1861, which may be briefly given thus :
With France, from 17 to 35 millions; with Germany, from 16
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.
