EAST INDIA BANK.
CAPITAL, 2,000,000, IN 40,000 SHARES OF £5O EAEII.
Deposit upon Allotment £1 per Share.
MUTE Administration of the EAST INDIA BANK will be
4 subject to the control and superintendence of an English
Board of DireCtors, without fetter-16,g the just independence
and efficiency of an Indian Direction. It will rigidly adhere to
a liberal system of legitimate banking, avoiding, on the one
hand, the mercantile adventures and speculative investments of
its borrowed capital, which have issued in such calamitous con-
sequences, and, OA the other, that injudicious c ration which
cramps the healthful and stimulating employm -of capital for
the purposes of re-production. It is presum that if these ob-
jects be carried out in practice, the E INDIA BANK
will not only insure the full confidence o he native population,
but become the medium for the distribution of English capital
in those innumerable channels which require to be enriched by
its invigorating influence. New and strong ties of connexion
will be formed between the capitalists and producers in both
count ries, it being proposed to reserve one fourth of the Shares
for the commercial classes of Calcutta; and it is not chimerical
to expect that the proposed Banking Association will awaken an
intense interests in the improving, and still improve the resources
of India

The advantages which the BAST INDIA BANK holds out
to those who invest in its stock are,—the unvarying value of
sound Indian investments.—the amount of business which a
Bank constituted upon the principles above developed can
transact in the absence of an effective competition,—and
the large profits which Indian banking has habitually yielded
even under a defective and an exclusive system of administra-
tion.

It is proposed to open the Bank at Calcutta. (the centre of
the financ►al arrangements of the Indian Government,) when
the requisite amount of capital is subscribed.
Applications for Shares in the Capital Stock of the Company
to be addressed to the Provisional Committee of the East India
Bank, No. 10, Liverpool-street, Broad-street-buildings, on or

pool.

_IL having expressed a desire for the formation of such an

Establishment as the one now submitted r e Public. it has
been determined that a Company be estab ed in the Metro-
polis, under the title of '' THE BRITISH ISCOUNT BANKING
COMPANY." for the purpose of making a profitable use of the
dormant Capital of such of the Joint Stuck Banks of the United
Kingdom as may happen at any time to have such surplus, and
of lending it out on discount to such other of the Joint Stock
Banks as may from time to time require the same; and to ex-
tend, under perfect security, the Banking and Commercial
operations of the British Empire.
The Names of the Provisional Committee and a List of
Country Bankers, to receive Deposits, willshortly be published.

r' HE great, extensive, and continued demand that will
_IL shortly be made, not only in England, but upon the Con-
tinent of Europe, in America. and in .Innia, for Locomotive
Engines, Steam Engines, and Carriages, in con uence of the
wide extending lines of Railway throughout e whole civilized
world, render it desirable that a Company Id be formed with a
Capital adequate to produce a supply in s e degree commensu-
rate with this rapidly-increasing want, and by concentrating the
united talents of the most gifted of our Engineers and Mechanics,
and aided by those discoveries which philosophy is flails
making to forward and improve the arts, render available to
the public in the most peitect form that Machinery which is,
apparently, destined at no remote period of time, to change
the face of the whole countries, and produce a powerful effect
upon the relative position, and social, and political condition of
the great families of man.
To render the desirableness and even necessity, for the forma-
tion of a Joint Stock Company with a sufficient capital for such
a purpose apparent, we need just mention the facts, that the
late Mr. Boulton expended about £-17,000 in experiments on
the Steam Engine before Watt perfected its construction, and
occasioned any return of profit. Messrs. Need and Strutt, of
Derby, also expended a large fortune upon the inventions of
the late. Sir Richard •Arkwright, before the mechanical con •
trivances of that extraordinary man realized any profit. And
the frequent remunerations made by Parliament to individuals
who have spent large sums in completing their inventions, not
only show the necessity of a large capital, but also that which
is of more importance to the public, namely, how slow must be
the developement of those mighty powers and energies which
yet lie hidden in the mysteries of nature and science, when so
great a drain of pecuniary means of private individuals is
required to carry their inventions into practical effect.
It is the intention of this Company, by securing the co-opera-
tion of men the most eminent in science, in philosophy, and
the mechanical arts, to carry to the greatest degree of perfec-
tion those machines which their united talents may be employ-
ed upon, in such manner as under no other circumstances could
be brought together, or attained; fully satisfied, that the his-
tory of mankind has not before furnished an opportunity where
such an union was so imperiously demanded, or could have been
so successfully and usefully put into operation. And while we
deplore in common with all prudent men, the great number of
visionary schemes now soliciting the notice of the public, we in-
vite the attention of the community to our present undertaking,
possessing within itself..nothing of a speculative character; we
claim but to participate fairly, and honourably, in anew branch
of industry, as manufacturers of machines requiring an union
of the greatest scientific and mechanical skill, which the pro-
gress of a new-and most important means of intercourse will -so
shortly require, and that must increase and become coeval with
the whole extent of the civilized world.
It is not, however, to engines upon the locomotive principle
alone, that the Company would confine their manufacture.
Along a line of railway, wherever mines are at work, or mi-
nerals are to be found—wherever manufact;tres can be estab-
lished, or new branches of industry created, there the great
parent of power, the Steam Engine, will be in requisition;
while the vast number of Carriages of that peculiar construc-
tion, suited for the conveyance of passengers and goods pre-
sents a third description of manufacture mutually dependent
upon each other.
Respecting• the profits derivable to the Shareholders, we ob-
serve, that the machines of the description intended to be ma-
nufactured are of such a nature as to command the best remu-
nerating prices. An useful improvement, or invention in ma-
chinery for the working of steam power, is above all price. We
also deprecate and have no aim at monopoly, happy if we shall
be able from superior resources to give fresh stimulus, or take
the lead in that progress in mechanical science, which the en-
terprising spirit of the times so emphatically demands. Our
competition with other establishments will be, not of a pecuni-
ary nature, but a competion for the first place in the list of use-
ful discoveries and improvements; fully satisfied, that the best
remuneration will always follow the most deserving.
It is scarcely possible, at present, to approximate towards a
correct calculation of the amazing number of those powerful
and important machines which will arise in consequence of
railways in Great Britain alone, leaving out of consideration
those of other countries; as those railways already in course
of,formation, and those-contemplated, extend several thous
sands of miles in length : still, this is but the commence-
ment of that great and mighty revolution in our means of in-
tercourse and transport, which a few years more will accom-
plish; -while the destructive powers of intense heat, and vio-
lent friction, and the opposing forces inherent in the structure
and action of locomotive engines, reuder a renewal of them
frequently necessary. We are, therefore, justified in the con-
clusion, that for a great number of years to come no production.
of Mechanical skill will be in so great demand, or of so profit-
' able a description, as the manufacture of Locomotive and
Stearn Engines.
The Provisional Committee have the gratification of an-
nouncing to the Public, that they have secured the refusal of
an establishment at once the largest and most complete in this
capabilities the most extensive, together
skviinthgda°in' possessingnumerous
body of experienced workmen, with the ad-
ditional facilities which a Canal and railway communication
to all parts of England can furnish ; thereby enabling the
Company immediately to commence operations, and to answer
in some small degree the present great demand for Locomotive
Engines.
