is proposed to establish in Shanghai

above title, in the belief that there is not. only room, but sual necessity, for the st. ditional facilities which wech an institution will afford to the large loonly coasting, and Foreign trade which centres in this port.

Tag great extension of steam communi. cation both by son and river, and the oven- - tion of telegraphic connections, since th existing Local Bank was founded, have greatly added to the importance of Shung bai, until it has become the great depot or distribucing point for the trade of Noch- ern and Central China bat, while it some desirable that Shanghai should be tha bead-quarters of the new Bank, and its direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a local Committee will he formed in Hongkong for the pro-

notion of the undertaking there.

The success of other public companies in -Shanghai and Hongkong, and the cridenos of a large sum of money seeking invest- ment in China, encourage the belief that the proposed Capital for this Bank will be readily enbecribed; many influential native merchants have already come forward as setive promoters and supportera of the undertaking, and the Committee look: for a vory valaabio costituency from Chinesa

BODICER

The legal conatitation of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com- mittec, and reference has been made to London and elsewhere for the best legal advice upon the subject; and it is under- stood that no Shares will be alloted, nor will operations be commenced until the no- Dessary arrangements have been completed, when farther information will be laid bei fore intending Shareholders. In the mean. time, applications for sharea are invited, until the 15th April, 1872, bet mast be on the prescribed lores, which can be obtain- ed from the Secretary.
