above title, in the belief that there is not only repte, 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- pation both by sen and river, and the oren.. tion of telegraphic connectionis, since the existing Local Bank way founded, hare greatly added to the importance of Sheng. hai, until it has become the great depôt or distributing point for the trade of Borth ern and Central Ubina; but, while it seems dearable, that Shanghai should be the head-quarters of the now Bank, and its direction on the spot where the prinsipal interests are involved, a local Committee will be formed in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the undertaking thers.

The necess of other public companies in Shangbai and Hongkong, and the evidence of a large sum of money seeking invest ment in China, encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will bo readily subscribed; many influential mative merchants have already come forward na active promoters and supportare of the undertaking, and the Committee look for a very valuable constituency from Chinese

sources.

The legal constitution of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com

ither, and reference has been made to London and alwhere for the best leg zurice upon the subject; and it is under- stood that no Sharon will be alloted nor will operations be commenced until the ne cessary arrangements have been completed. when farther information will be laid be fore intending Shareholders. In the mean time, applications for ebares are invited, antil the 15th April, 1873, but most be ou the prescribed forme, which can be obtain ed from the Secretary,
