IT is proposed to establish in Shanghai
a Limited Braking Company, with the abovo title in the belief that there is nut only foun, but actual necessity, for the ad. ditional facilities which suob uu institution will afford to the lurgo local, consting, and foreign trade which centres in this port
The great, extension of steam communi. oation both by ses and river, and the area. tion of telegraphis connections, since tüs existing Local Bank was founded, bara greatly added to the importance of Sbang- hai, antif it has become the great depôt or distributing point for the trade of North- ern and Central China; but, while it seama desirable that Shanghai should bự the head-quarters of the new Bank, and its direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a local Committee will be formed in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the undertaking there.
The Buccess of other public companies in Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence of a large sum of money seeking invest ment in China, encourage tho belief that thic proposed Capital for this Benk will bo readily subscribed; many influential native merchants have already come forward as active proinoters and supportere, of tho undertaking, and the Committee look for a very valuable constituency from Chinese
sources
legal constitution of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com- mittec, and reference bas been made to London and elsewhere for the best legal advice upon ibo subject; and it is under- stood that no Sharea will be alloted, nor will operations, bo commenced until the ne cessary arrangements have been completed, when farther information will be laid be fore intending Storyholders. In the mean- time, applications for ebares, are invited, until the 15th April, 1872, bút must to on the prescribed foires, which can be obtain- ed from the Secretary.

THE Sianghai and Pooting Foundry Engineering Company has beau formed to take over the business hitbierto successfully carried on by Mr. David Muir. head, which je so well known to be the best and most complote atabilament of its kind in China or Japan.
The terms of the transfer are, that tho Company acquires the whole of the exten. sive works, plant, property; contraste, and assets of the old business, freed from all liabilities and ancumbrances.
The Properly, including the Goodwill of -the business, to bo transferred to this Company, is nomplete and perfect in every brunch, and consists of a site of about 56 mow of land, aitavate on the Postung side, imiaediately opposite to the English-Ser tlement, Shanghai, busing. v. frontage to ting Edver of 149 feet.
Upon this property are the following Buildings
Boiler Shop.
Pattern Shop and Smithy.
Machine Shop.

tona.
The establishment is fitted up most com. pletely with Playing, Punching, Rolling, Drilling, and Berewing. Marblocs, with powerful Lashes, Noring Mills, and Steama Hammers, Foundries for manufacturing
Iron and Brass Castings, and Smithy for Forgings, such as are required for leary Engineering and other purpoees,
With the view of arriving at a corrent valuation of the property and plant, Mr. CORYELL has made a careful "estimate, which, after allowing libernity for depre gintion, a moante to Taels 100,000, partitus lars of which can be seen on application.
A antisfactory arrangement has been en- terad into with Mr. MUIRHEAD for carry- ing on the undertaking wid tus present efficient ataff and Mr. MUIRERAD Will retom-a large interest in the Company.
The profita of the business, during the lash seven years have averaged over Tls. 18,000 per ioum, equal to 18 per cont. da the present proposed capital.
This property offers nuequalled facilities for the carrying on with economy work of the above description, while the whole of the plant is in the best porsibls state, ita porfeot efficiency having born continuously and carefully maintained. The introdua- tion of new interests in the working tony. confidently be expected to yield an exten- sion of the business; and the adoption of the mutual system, which has been found to produce ench satisfactory results in other Companies, in the opinion of the Directors, canot fail to have a correspond- iug dest in this. It must also be borne in mind that the carrying trade of the East is in a state of transition from wooden Bailing vessels to Iron Steamers, and this will," "donbtless, benefit the Com- pany, more especially as Shanghai is day Increasing is steam traže, and proving its anitability to be the terminal poitia China. The present, therefore, esume a good op. portunity to acquire a business in working order, which, by means of a Company, san be extended se circumstances may render necesary.
A large portion of the Capital has been privately subscribed, and applications for the remaining elarea should be sent to the Provisional Directors, eare of W. HAR. WOOD, Baq, on or before Theraday, the 16th February, shortly after which dafe an allotment will be mada.
