TT is proposed to osteblish in Shanghai

Limited Banking Company, with the abova title, in the belief that there is not only room, but actual eccity, for the ad- ditional facilities which snob an institution will afford to the large local, coasting, and foreign truds which centres is this purt.

The great extension of steam domuzni. oativu both by son and river, and the crea tion of telegraphic connections, since thu orating Local Bank, was' founded, have greatly added to the importance of Shang- bai, antil it hae beonie the great depôt or distributing point for the trade of North- ern and Central China --but, while it seems desirable that Shanghai should be the head-quarters of the how Bank, and its direction on the spot where the principal interests are involved, a local Committee will be formed in Hongkong for the pro- motion of the undertaking there.

The saccess of other public companies in Shanghai and Hongkong, and the evidenco of a large sua ef money seeking invest ment in China, ancourage the belief that the proposed Capital- for this Bank will be readily subsribed; many influential native- merabants have alrendy como forward as actire promoters and supporters of the undertaking, and the Committee look for a very valuable dunetitaency from Chinese

OOTDES.

The logel constitution of the Bank is engaging the consideration of the Com- ittee, and referenes Bae "bben made to London und elenirhere for the best legal advice upon the subject; and it is under- stood that no Sharea will be alloted, nor will operations ho commenced until the no- desanry arrangements have been completed, when further formution will be laid be ford intending Shareholders. In the mean- time, applications for shares avo invited, until the 15th Apríl, 1872, "but must be on the prescribed forms, which can to obímín. ed from the Secretary.
