PROSPECTUS.

This Company is formed to extend the business of the
old-established Bank of Messrs. Charles Laffitte and Co., of
Rue Basse du Rempart, Paris, to this country and elsewhere,
by. converting it into a Joint-Stock undertaking, on the
principle of limited liability, and thereby to afford the com-
mercial community and general public facilities for trans-
acting their Foreign Banking and Financial operations
through an establishment having its centre in London,
and possessing the advantage of a name well known and
accredited throughout Europe, together with a thoroughly
organised, most extensive, and influential connexion.
The business of the Company will be similar in character
to that hitherto carried on by Messrs. C. Laffitte and Co.,
and other great foreign banking-houses, viz., a combination
of banking business, financial agency, and general mer-
cantile monetary affairs, with the advantage of increased
resources and a more extended field of operations.

An arrangement has been concluded with Messrs. Charles
Laffitte and Co. for the purchase of their business, for the
sum of £150,000, which amount has been arrived at upon a
moderate computation of its value, based upon a statement
of the profits actually realised during a series of years.
Two-thirds of the purchase-money will be taken in Shares,
on which £lO per Share will be credited as paid-up ; and
Mr. Charles Laffitte will continue his connection with the
undertaking in the capacity of Chairman of the Company,
and will give it all the advantage of his influence and
experience.
Negotiations are pending for incorporating with this
Company other banking, financial, and commercial estab-
lishments, for the purpose of extending the sphere of its
operations, and of affording to the establishments alluded
to the opportunity of consolidating their business, and of
reducing the existing liability of their shareholders.
In case no allotment is made, the money deposited on
application for Shares will be returned in full.
Forms of Application for Shares and every information
can be obtained of the Bankers, Brokers, and Solicitors, or
at the Offices of the Company, where copies of the Memo-
randum and Articles of Association, and of the Agreement
with Messrs. Charles Laffitte and Co., may be seen.
