ROSPECTIJS of a JOINT-STOCK BANKING COM-
JL ri PANY, to be entitled THE EAST OF ENGLAND
COMMERCIAL BANK; and to embrace th- Counties of
Norfolk and Suffolk.
Subscribed Capital £500,000 in 25,000 Shar,. of £2O each.
CENTRAL OFFICE, NOR CH.
The system of Joint Stock Banking, wit' s recommends itself
to the productive classes as well as to th . wners of unemployed
capital, has only been partially adopted-- n the important coon-.
'ties of Norfolk and Suffolk. In the, fo • 'er a Joint Stock Bank
was formed so early as 1827, but it is ci.ceived that the peculiar
constitution of this company, which does not admit of that in-
depent centrol so essential to the well-being of such an institu-
tion, the very limited number of its proprietors, and the conse-
quent non,extension of District Banks to important towns iu
the county, justify the projectors in asserting that there is still a
wide field for the operations of a Bank, possessing a wider basis
in its constituency, having a larger command of subscribed and
paid-up capital, 4tid contemplating a more comprehensive scale
of banking business. The county of Suffolk is still deprived
of that healthful energy, and that rapid .power in the distribu-
tion of its produce, which it is the province of a legitimate Joint
Stock Bank to administer.

In connecting the two counties through the medium of an
extended District Bank, the projectors consider that they are
promoting their mutual advantage by drawing more closely the
various ties by which they are now united. fhe maritime line
ou the north-east and east, stretching from the Wash to the river
Orwell, is characterised by nearly the same description of ex.;
ports and imports, and necessarily produces a similarity in
monetary and mercantile transactions. The agriculture of the
two distracts is distinguished by nearly the same features, and
the various markets are indiscriminately opened to the corn,
cattle, and dairy produce of the north and south. And, with re-
spect to the beautiful manufactures for which this quarter of Eng-
land is still remarkable, notwithstanding the languor that tem-
porarily oppresses them, they are the means of enlarging the
resources and stimulatine- the diversified industry of both coun-
ties. This intimate identification between Norfolk and Suffolk
in their geographical, industrial, and social position, offers
stronger inducements for the establishment of a Joint Stock
Bank than any other tract of cauntry of similar extent and
analagous capabilities ; and it is to be hoped. that-a better con-
centration and a imore liberal diffusion of capital will give that'
powerful and salutary impulse to industry and enterprise, which
has been exemplified in all the districts in which Joint Stock
Banks have risen into existence.

To those who imagine that the pre-existence of a Joint Stock
Bank, and of several highly-respectable private partnerships,
narrows the ground for the proposed company, it may suffice
' to state, that Scotland boasts of one Bank to every 7,500 of her
population; that the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire,
which do'not embrace the opulent seats of the woollen manu-
facture, have a Joint Stock Bank to every 16,000 of the inha-
bitants; and that in Norfolk the proportion is in the ratio of one
tof these institutions, with an imperfect onstitution, and an
almost nominal proprietary, to every 65, of the population.
These facts prove the truth of the obser ation, that a '" new
Joint Stock Bank in a great measure cre tea its own business,
and by the accommodation which it affords,i, under prudent and
safe restrictions, gives a powerful momentum to every depart-
ment of industry, and thus directly increases the prosperity
both of the Shareholders and of the community at large.
The city of Norwich has been selected as the site of the Cen-
tral Office, from the position which it occupies between the two
counties, from its being the entrepot for agricultural and other
produce, and the seat of various manufactures, and from the
other advantages which it enjoys as the capital town of Norfolk.
