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 boon paid,
will be credited with £3 paid up.
The arrangements which have been made for amalga-
matingthe business of the above establish-
mentsaarend ansumehaasg,
ianigded by the high Egyptian connections
of Messrs. Landau, cannot fail to secure to this Company a
very extensive and profitable business.

t This business has always
long enjoyed an extensive connection with producers and
exporters of produce in Egyp
yielded most favourable results; and no better proof of this
can be given than the fact that the firm, during the whole
of its existence, as well as the other banks lately established
in Egypt, have experienced an absolute immunity from loss
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 continuo in 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 doposit 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 bo obtained of the
Secretary, at the Company's Offices, and of the Bankers

view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the

on Quacks and Quackery."
GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON.
A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared In
the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The
reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has
often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau-
dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences,
and more money by menaces and extortion, from green
young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not
advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants,
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, needful to be I.nown, will be found in the pamphl t
above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks
ant Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular "
Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C.
The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel
rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of
Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to
the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in "Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The
pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory. by consulting which every young man may know
where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed.
Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse
you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01
course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your
own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple-
tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"
Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the
young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if tor no
other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.
