A Joint-stock Company has been formed, and provisionally
registered, under the above title, for carrying on a general dis-
count business.
The circumstances of the times are peculiarly favourable to
the establishment of such a company, and the commercial
exigencies of the country require it.
The foreign trade alone of the United Kingdom has trebled
itself within the last 25 years, the exports which, in the year
1832, amounted to 32,000,0001., having, in the year 1854,
risen to over 97,'00,0001. The home trade has received a
proportionate impetus and development, and the aggregate
transactions of the country, in exchangeable products, have
multiplied to an extent which it is difficult to estimate,
whilst the monetary facilities for carrying on those transac-
tions have not kept pace with this rapid and gigantic in.
crease.

A company, which, from its ample resources, offers addi-
tional facilities for commercial operations, will, it is believed,
be faVourably received by the trading community, and prove
a useful auxiliary to the banking establishments throughout
the kingdom, at the same time affording to all classes a safe
anil remunerative investment, either permanent or tempo-
rary, for their surplus funds.
Tho pvinciples on which the company is based are simple
and familiar.
The foundation is a large Kubscribed capital, of which a con-
siderable proportion will be at once paid up, and money will
bo received on deposit upon terms of repayment to be spe-
cially agreed with the depositors ; these means will be em-
ployed in discounting, and in loans on approved securities.
The Company will not open drawing accounts with their
customers, nor act, in any .respect, as a bank.
The capital is to he'l,ooo,ooo/., divided into 40,000 shares
of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 5/. per share shall be
paid, on the acceptance of the letters of allotment. Power
will be taken by the deed to increase the capital to 2,000,0001,,
with the assent of three-fourths of the proprietors, specially
convened.
It will be the duty of the Directors to select a General Ma-
nager, whose ability and experience will assure to the share-
holders and the public a vigilant and prudent administration.
The Comppy is constituted within the provisions •f the
Limited Liability Act.
Each application for shares must be accompanied by a pay.
meat to the bankers of the Company of 1/. per share on the
number of shares applied for, and for which a voucher will
be given. Should no allotment be made to the applicant, the
money thus lodged with the bankers will be returned free of
charge ; if an allotment be made, it will be applied toward" ,
the deposit of 51. per share then payable.
Prospectuses, with forms of application for shares, may 'O,
