Tis proposed to oilablish in Shanghai the above" tille, in the belief that there is not only room, but actual necessity, for the ad ditional facilities which euch un institution will afford to the large local, conating, und Bursiga trde which acatres in this purl.

The great extrusion of steam cowmuar. gation bosh by eco and river, and the area tion of telegraphic connections, since the ́existing. Louatl Bank was founded, have greatly ded to the importance of Shang hai, until it has besonte the great depot or distributing point for the trade of Borth- sem und Cantial Chink; bat, while it seems dearable that Shanghai ould be the head-cuartars of the new Barik, and ita direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a local Committe will be formed in Hongkong for the pro untion of the undertaking there r

The success of other public companion in Shanghai and Hongkong, wil the veidunce of a large sum of money seeking invest- 'mint in China, mecneige the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will be readily subscribed; many influential patíve meveliauts have already come forwied us. nctive promotera and supporters of the undertaking, and the Committee look for a - very valuable sonstituency from Chinees

Lourde

The legal constitution of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Oom- "mailtor, and refurence has been made to London und elaswhere for the best legal advies upon rba suljeet; and it is ruder- stood that a Sbares will be allobed, nor will operations be commenced until the as- Dessary arrangements have been completed, when further inforrustion will be laid be fere intending Shareholders. In the mean- time, applications for shares are invited, until the 15th April, 1873, but must be on the prescribed forms, which can be obtain- ed from the Sevratary.
