More than thirty years have elapsed since any leading Bank
has been established in Sew lewd ; and when the following
circumstances are considered, viz., the extraordinary develop -
ment during this interval of the resources of the country; the
extension of steam and railway communication ; the improved
cultivation and value of the land ; the almost wonderful
growth of some of the chief cities and towns, in population,
wealth, and enterprise ; and the fact that millions pass an-
nually between Scotland and the commercial Metropolis of
the World; coupled with the universally admitted deficiency
of direct banking accommodation between both countries ;
it w;11 be seen that the present is a peculiarly favourable op-
portunity for successfully introdu ing the London Bank of
Scotland (L mited), and sfeuring it an extensive and profit
ab'e bit ine-s.
All financial operations between Scotland and London are
transsic*ed through Agencies at considerable expense, time.

Brats in c rculation in the country, and alto the Foreign Bills

the gran focus to which pecuniary ransactions of the
E" pine are ultimately brought to be adjusted.
This Company will be enabled to offer very considerable
advantages to the public, in the uniform and more economical
charge for the collection, transmission, and liquidation of
bids, money, exchanges, and other business transactions
betwren Scotland and London. The remarkable success
attendant upon banking institutions connected with this
country. whether for Ireland the Continent, or the Colonies,
proves that an establishment in London facilitates business,
whilst larize profits are secured. N ne of the existing Scotch
ke possess this advantage; and the Londc n Bank of
Snott.na
deratum. is es' abllsi,ed to meet so great a monetary deli
As corroborative of the necessity which exists for extended
banking facilities, it may be also eta ed, that during the
above• mentioned period the external trade of the country
has more than trebled itself. The returns published by the
Bo4rd of Trade thow that the exports in the year 183 •
amounted to x 32,000,000, while in 'B6 they reach( d
£1,5,842,8 7; and th ,t the aggregate value of the impo to in
the yo ar 1854 'when first ascertained) was £152,389,0 3, which
in 1.8.50 amounted to £179,,82 35
The home trade during the corresponding period developed
itself to xtent which it'is almost impossible to comp •.te
Regarding the- e consider time, and the still rapidly
expanding commercial relations between Edinburgh, G 16,8.

The administrat on of the London Bank of Scotland and
its Brandies will he superintended by men of sound practi-
cal, commercial, and financial know,edge, whose position
and antecedents will be a sure guarantee of the careful and
Wise management adopted throughout all the details of this
Bank.
