is proposed to establish in Shanghai a komited Hanking Unimpany, with the. above title, in the belief that there is vok only room, but actual necessity, for the ad- ditional facilities which such an institution will afford to the large local, consting, and foreign trade which centres in this port,

The great extension of steam communi. cation both by ses and river, end the oren. tion of telegraphis connections, sinse the existing Local Bank was founded, have greatly added to the importance of Ebang. hai, antil it has become the great depit ör distributing point for the trade of North. eru and Central China; but, while it some desirable that Shanghai should be the head-quarters of the new Book, and its direption on the spot where the principal interests, are involved, a local Committee will be formed in Hongkong for the pro motion of the nodertaking there..

The success of other publia compatica in Shanghai and Rongkong, and the evidence: of a large you of money seeking insest- ment in China, encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will be readily anbebribed; many influential native merchants have already come forward as dctive promoters and supporters of the undertaking, and the Committes look for a very valuable conatitaoney from Chinese

Rources.

The legal constitution of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com uitlee, and reference has been made to London and elsewhere for the best legal advice upon the subjent; and it is under- wood that : Shares will be alloted, nor will operations be summoned until this no- cessary arrangements have been completed, when farther information will be laid be fore intending Shareholders. In the mean- time, applications for shares are invited, until the 15th April, 1873, but didnt be un the prescribed forms, which can be obtain- ed from the Seoratary.
