is proposed to establish in Shanghai

a Limited Banking Company, with tho above tile, in the belief that there is not only room, but notual necessity, for the ud ditional facilities which auch on institution will afford to the large local, sonsting, and foreign trade which centres in this port. ⠀⠀

The great extension of steam communi cation both by sea and river, and the oren. tion of telegraphic contentione, cince the existing Local Bank was founded, have greatly added to the Importance of Shong. bai, until it has become the great depot or distribating point for the trade of North- ern and Central China but, while it seems dearable that Bhungbui phild be the hend-quarters of the new Bank, and ite direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a local Committed

will be formed in Hongkong for the pro `motion of the undertaking there.

The suocess of other public companies in Shanghai and Hongkong, sad ton evidenca of a large som of modey seeking investe ment in China, encourage the belief that: the proposed Capital for thin Bank will bo readily subscribed; many inäuential native merchants have already come forward na activa promoters and supporters of the undertaking, and the Committes look for a very valuable opustituency from Chinvas

Bources,

The legal constitution of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com- mittee, and referense bass ben made to London and elsewhere for the bost, legil advice upon the subject; and it is under- stand this no Shures will be alloted, nor will operations be commenced until the ne-- cesary arrangements have been completed, when farther information will be laid be fore intending Shareholdera, In the mean- tine, applications for shares are invited, until the 15th April, 1872, but annatida on the prescribed forms, which can be obtain. ed from the Secretary.
