PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for the purpose of converting
the £lOO Shares of the Continental Bank Corporation into
Shares of £2O, and to carry out the amalgamation of that
Bank with the Bank of Messrs. E. Landau and Co., of
Alexandria, and for facilitating commercial, financial, and
monetary transactions between this country, the Continent,
and Egypt.
Five of the £2O Shares in this Company will be allotted
to the Shareholders in the Continental Bank, in exchange
for each of their present £lOO Shares. The £2O Shares
allotted in exchange for Shares on which £25 has been
paid, will be credited with £5 paid up ; and those allotted
in exchange for Shares on which £l5 only has been paid,
will be credited with paid up.
The arrangements which have been made for amalga-
mating and managing the business of the above establish-
ments are such as, aided by the high Egyptian connections
of Messrs. Landau, cannot fail to secure to this Company a
very extensive and profitable business.
The establishment of Messrs. Landau and Co., at Alex-
andria, in addition to its regular banking operations, has
long enjoyed an extensive connection with producers and
exporters of produce in Egypt. This business has always
yielded most favourable results; and no better proof of this
can be given than the fact that thefirni, during the whole
of its existence, as well as the other banks lately established
in Egypt, have experienced an absolute immunity from lois
in their transactions of this class of bnsiness.

The daily increasing trade of Egypt with Europe, espe-
cially with England, is also a sure guarantee for the en-
hanced future success of this Company; the profits hitherto
realised by Messrs. Landau and Co. are alone sufficient to
yield a large return upon the capital proposed to be called
up; and the several partners of the Firm, in order to show
their confidence in the future success of the Company, have
taken a large number of Shares, and will continue m the
active management of the business at Alexandria.
The Bank has also secured the co-operation, as a Direc-
tor, of Mr. Bravay, whose exertions will be especially de-
voted to the extension of the Bank's relations with
the Egyptian Government, a class of transactions in which
he has hitherto engaged, with very successful results.
The amalgamated establishments propose liquidating all
their present transactions up to the date of amalgamation.
The Articles of Association of this Company, and the
Agreement entered into for acquiring the business of
Messrs. Landau and Co., can be seen on application at the
Office of the Solicitors.
A deposit of £1 upon each Share must be paid at the
Offices of either of the Bankers of the Company, on applica-
tion, according to the annexed Form.
Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained of the
Secretary, at the Company's Offices, and of the Bankers
