any, abose title, în the belief that there is not only room, but antual necessity, for the nd- ditional facilities which such an institution
• will aPurd: to the large lously coasting, and. foreign trade which centres in this port
The great extension of sleam commaal. Ication both by sgn and river, and the cras
tion of telegraphic connectione, sirce the existing Local Bank was founded. Lase greatly added to the importance of Shang- bu until it has become the great dapet or alatribating point for the trade of Narků. ern and Central China; but, while it accna- dearable that Shangbai should be the head-quarters of the new Bank, and Ita direction on the spot where the principal intercote are involved, a local Comunittee will be formed in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the outertaking thore.
The snacoes of ather public companies in Bhanghai and Hongkong, and the evidence of a large sam of money seeking invest- meat in Obins, encontrago the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will be readily subscribed; many influential native merolants have already come forward as notre promoters and supportare of the undertaking, and the Committee look for a very valuable constituency from Chinese
Bourdes,
The legal constitution of the Bank is engaging the cogaideration of the Com zitten, and reference has been made, "to London and elsewhere for the best legal dvice upon the ambjent; and it is under. stoud that a Sharde will be alloted, nor will operations be poremenogi until the no cessary arrangeurenta have been completed, when further information will be laid be fore intending Shureholders. In the mean- time," applications for shares are 'iorited, notil the 15th April, 1872, bat qust be un the proscribed ferme, which can be obtain ed from the Secretary.
