The success that has attended the establishment of Joint
Stock Banks in London, and the advantages they have
afforded to the public, are evident from the large amount
entrusted to their care, the balances in their hands being,
at the end of 1861, upwards of fifty millions sterling.
The advantages to the proprietors are shown by the divi-
dends they receive, which vary from 6 to 24 per cent., and
by the present value of the shares.
The London and Westminster Bank Shares, £2O paid,
Worth in 1852 £3O, now quoted £77.
The London Joint Stock Bank Shares, £lO paid, worth
in 1852 £l9, now quoted £36.
The Union Bank of London Shares, £lO paid, worth in
1852 £l6, now quoted £33.
The London and County Bank Shares, £2O paid, worth
in 1852 £24, now quoted £4O.
The City Bank, established 1856, £5O paid, now quoted
£9O.

The Bank of London, established in 1857, £5O paid, now
quoted £Bl.
From these facts it appears that the paid-up capital of
the six banks, amounting to £3,400,000, represent a present
ularket value to the shareholders of upwards of £10,000,000.
Since the establishment of the last named banks, no other
London joint-stock banks have commenced business, while
,the trade and population of London and its neighbourhood
oave steadily increased with the general trade of the
Country. That this increase is accompanied by additional
demand for banking facilities is abundantly pawed by the
fact, that durinc, the past year the balances in the hands of
the existing banks increased—
from £44,143,181 to £50,783,353,
showing an increase of £6,640,172 in one year.
From these encouraging data it may be safely assumed
that the growing requirements of commerce demand addi-
tional banking accommodation.
Acting on these unmistakeable indications, the Imperial
Bank, Limited, is about to be established ; and it is confi-
dently antieipated that without pretending to offer advan-
tages superior to those which the trading public now enjoy,
there is every reason to conclude that a more extended
choice of banking advantages would be received with favour
by the public.
A prominent feature in this Bank is the limitation of the
liability of shareholders to the amount of their shares, thus
giving confidence to a most desirable class of investors, who
on principle have abstained from holding shares in joint-
stock banks with unlimited liability.
The Imperial Bank, Limited, will undertake every de-
scription of business that comes within the province of a
joint-stock bank.
The capital has been fixed at £3,000,000 in 30,000 shares
of £lOO each ; first issue £1,000,000 shares' in 10,000 shares ;
£1 per share to be paid on application, and £1 per share on
allotment ; no call to exceed £5, and an interval of not less
than three months between each call. It is not intended
that the paid up capital shall exceed £25 per share of the
subscribed capital.
Applications for shares must be made in the annexed
form. The deposit of £1 per share must be paid to the
Company's Bankers, for which a receipt will be given. If
no allotment be made, the deposit money will be returned in
full; and if a less number be allotted than is applied for,
the surplus will be used towards the payment on allotment.
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares, may
be obtained at the Temporary Offices, and of the Brokers,
