PROSPECTI7S.

The Bank has acquired the banking, bullion, and ex-
change business of the late London, Hamburg, and Conti-
nental Exchange Bank, by which it' has secured an exten-
sive and profitable connection, embracing a large number
of current and•deposit accounts and•foreign agencies.
Under the agreement for taking over the premises, busi-
ness, goodwill, and assets of the London, Hamburg, and
Continental Exchange Bank, the shareholders in that bank
are entitled to subscribe for 10,000 shares in the General
Exchange Bank (Limited), credited with £8 per share,
being an exchange of two £5O shares, £8 paid, for one
£lOO share, £25 paid. Should the assets of the former
bank not realise the sum to be credited, the deficiency to
be made up by such shareholders.
In addition •to the existing arrangements, negotiations
are in progress for amalgamating other banks with this
Company, and a concession is promised by a foreign Go-
vernment which will carry with it important banking
privileges.
The Bank has, since the issue of the original prospectus,
concluded arrangements for the purchase of the old and
highly-respectable banking business of Messrs. Scicluna
and Sons, of Malta, as also that of Messrs. Borg and Co.,
of Alexandria.
The exchange and bullion department of a banking busi-
ness is well known to be most lucrative ; and in this par-
ticular branch the Bank, from its extensive existing con-
nections, possesses important advantages.
The Directors have soured the services, as manager, of
F. Dixon-Hartland, Esq., a gentleman of considerable
banking experience.
The Articles of Association and Agreements may be in-
spected at the offices of the Solicitors of the Bank.
Application for shares to be made to the Secretary, at•

The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying into
effect an arrangement which has been made for the pur-
chase from Messrs. Qverend, Gurney, and Company of
their long-established business as Bill Brokers and Money
Dealers, and of the premises in which the business is con-
ducted ; the consideration for the goodwill being £500,000,
one-half being paid in cash and the remainder in shares of
the Company, with £l5 per share credited thereon—terms
which, in the opinion of the Directors, cannot fail to in-
sure a highly remunerative return to the Shareholders.
The business will be handed over to the now Company
on the Ist August next, the vendors guaranteeing the
Company against any loss on the assets and liabilities
transferred.

Three of the members of the present firm have con-
sented to join the Board of the new Company, in which
they will also retain a large pecuniary interest. Two of
them (Mr. Henry Edmund Gurney and Mr. Robert Birk.
beck) will also occupy the position of Managing
Directors, and undertake the general "conduct of the
business.
The ordinary business of the Company will, under this
arrangement, be carried on as heretofore, with the advan-
tag& of the co-operation of the Board of Directors, who also
propose to retain the valuable services of the existing staff
of the present establishment.
The Directors will give their zealous attention to the
cultivation of business of a first-class character only, it
being their conviction that they will thus most effectually
promote the prosperity of the Company and the permanent
Interests of the shareholders.

Copies of the Company's liemorandum and Articles of
Association, as well as of the Deed of Covenant in relation
to the transfer of the business, can be inspected at the
Offices of the Solicitors of the Company.
Applications for shares must be accompanied by the pay-
ment of a deposit of £2 per share, which will be received
by Messrs. •Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, Twells, and Company,
54, Lombard-street. In the event•of no allotment being
made, the deposit will be returned in full; should a less
number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the depo-
sit-will, so far as required, be appropriated towards the
payment due upon allotment.
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may
ge obtained at the Brokers, or the Temporary Offices, of
