THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK
(Incorporated by Charter), intend opening, on MONDAY,
the Ist of January next, a BRANCH at No. 32, Regent-Circus,
Piccadilly. Though one of the principal thoroughfares of the metro-
polis, there has never been a Bank in Piccadilly ; and it is hoped that

least such of the inhabitants of that important neighbourhood as have
not hitherto kept a banker.
Interest on deposits and on the fluctuating balances of current
accounts are reckoned from day to day, at rates varying from one to
four per cent, per annum, according to the 'amount and continuance
of the deposit or balance, and promissory notes or bills, circular
letters of credit, and drafts payable to order or bearer, which may be
cashed in any town at home or abroad where there is a banker, are
issued to merchants and travellers, for whom they possess some
peculiar features of economy, safety, and utility.
l)e•ailed terms of business will be communicated on application at
the Head Office, Tokenhouse-yard,; or at the branches, 429, Strand;
77, Bridge-road, Lambeth ; 97, Goswell-road. Islington; I, Shaftes-
bury-terrace, Victoria-street, Pimlico ; and 60, Stones-end, 'South-
