Tis proposed to establish in Bhanghai
a Limited Banking Company, with the above title; in the belief that there is not. only room, but actual accousty, for the nd- ditional facilities which ruah an institution will afford to the large local, consting, and foroign trade which centres fu, this pork
The great extension of strain communi cation both by sou and river, and the crea-. tion of telegraphic connections, since the existing Local Bank was founded; have greatly added to the importance of Slang-- hai, until it has become the great depit or distributing point for the tride of North- en and Central China; but, while it seems desirable that Bhanghai should be the bead-quarters of the new Bank, and ite direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a local Committee will be formed in Hongkong for the pro mbtion of the undertaking there.
The sucess of other public companies in Shanghai and Hongtong, and the ovidoura of a large sum of money seeking invest ment in China, encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will be readily subscribed; many influendal native merahanta have already come forward as otive promoters and supporters of the undertaking, and tho Committee look for a very valuable constituency from Chinese
sourcer.
The logul constitution of the Bank is engaging the considemtion of the Dôm-. mittee, and reference has been mado to London and oleorhere for the bort legal advice upon the subject; and it is under- stood that no Shares will be alloted, nor will operations be commenced until the ne- Cossary Arrangements have been completad, when further information will be laid, bo fore intending Shareholders. In the mean- time, applications for ehares are invited, until the 15th April, 1872, but must be on the prescribed Purins, which osa le oblain- ed from the Secretary.

THE Starphai and footing Foundry
and Envineering Company của tướn formed to take over the business hitherto successfully carried on by Mr. David Muir- bend, which is no wall known to be the best and most completo estabifshment of its kind in Obina or Japan.
The terms of the transfer are, that the Company requires the whole of the exten- sive works, plant, property, contracts, mil amris of tac old business, freed from all liabilities and encumbrances.
The Property, including the Goodwill of the business, to bo "transferred to this Company, is complete and perfect in every branch, and consists of a site of about 10 mow of land, situate of the Pooting side, immadiately opposite to the Englan Set- tlement, Shanghai, having a frontage to tka River of 443 feet.
Upon this property are the following Boilings

Pattern Shop and Smithy.

The establishment is filted up most com." pletely with Planing, Punching, Rolling, Drilling, and Serowing Machines, with powerful Lathes, Noring Mills, and Stazi Hammers, Foundries for manfacturmg Iron and Brass Castings, and Smithy for Forging, sizoh as are required for hosvy Engineering and other purposes.
With the view of arriving at a correct valuation of the property and plant, Mr. CONTBL has made a careful estimate, whish, after allowing liberally for depre ciation, amounts to Taela 100,010, particu- lure of which can be seen on application,
A satisfactory strangement he been en- tered into with Me, MüzagEAD for carry- ing on the undertaking with the presect ellieiont staff, and Mr MoTBREAD will retain a large intersat in the Company.
The profits of the business during the list seven years bave averaged over 18,000 per annum, equal to 18 per cent, ca the present proposed capital.
This property offers oneßualled fabilities for the carrying on with economy work of lko above' description, while the whole of the plant is in the best possible stato, its perfect efficiency having been continuously and carefully maintaitied. The introdus tion of baw interests in the working way cufidently be expected to yield an exter- sion of the hooincas; and the adoption of the mutual system, which has been found to produce such satisfactory resulta in other Companies, in the opinion of the Directors, carot fail to have a correspond ing effect in this. It must sláa ha barne in mind that the carrying trade of the East is in a stato of transition from wooden mailing vessels to Iron Steamers, and this will, doubtless, benefit the Coun pory, mero especially as Shangbaijs daily increasing its steam to, and proving ita suitability to be the terminat pork in Coa The present; therefore, seems good o portunity to acquire a business in working order, which, by means of a Company, can. be extended as circumstances may rander HOCIETY.",
A large portion of the Capital has been privately subscribed, and applications for. the remaining shares aliould be sent to tlis Provisional Directors, care of W. Has woa Esq, on or before Thursday, the 15 February, shortly after which date an allotment will be made.
