is proposed to establish in Shangdai
above title, in the belief that there is not only room, but actual weessity, for the ad- ditional facilities which such an inétitation will afford to the large boal, sonsting, and foreign trade which centres in this port.
The great extension of stessa commosi. cation both by eer and river, and the crea tion of telegraphle, connections, sive the existing Local Baul us forndel, bave greatly added to the importance of Shang. bai, nntil it has become the great depól distributing point for, the trade of North ern and Central China; but, while it seems dearable, that Shanghai should be the hend-quarters of the new Bank, and its direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a' local Committeo will be formed in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the undertaking there.
The success of other publio companies in Shangbaiani Hongkong, and the evidence of a large at of money seeking invest- ment in China, encourage tho belief that the proposed Capital for this Bant will be readily anhacribed; many influential native merchants have already come forward za actire promotere and supporters of the undertaking, and the Coniniittee look for a "very valuable constituency from Obiness
Boureas.
The legal constitation of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com- mittae, and reference has been made to London and elsewhere for the best legu advive upon the subject; and it is under. stood that no Sbares will be listed, nor will operations de solamenced until the ne cessary rrugemonte bave been completed, when further information will be laid bei fora intending Shareholders.
