Watson, Eaq., J. A. Darey, Esq., Uweu Counelly, Esq, George Davies, Esq., F[VIS BANK is formed to supply an addition to the money circultaion of this Is land, the want of which hus for some time beey seusibly felt. Itis the natural consequence of an increasing population, an expanding Coumerce, aud of the enlarved production of an indastrious and energetic people. lucredible as it may seem, until tie year 1855, there never was a Bank establighed in this Island; in that year, under the re of a similar necessity, the Bank of Prince Edward island was called into existence; and while it has facilitated the trade and commercial business gene- rally, it has largely contributed to the de veiope- ment of the resources of the Country) and its results are supposed to have been satisfactory to the Share- holders, having for some yeare past paid them au annual dividend of ten per vent. The inerease in the population since the year 1855, the large addition to our trade and commerce the increasing Revenue, the breadth of arable land cleared and cultivated, the geowing incrense of farming stock, the augmen export of yvrain and agricultural produce of all kinds, have rendered farther Banking operations iu this Island ubsolutely necessary. It appears from the census ef 1860, and from other authentic sources, that in the preceding five years the increase in the population of this Is was 9 361 persons; increase of breadth of land under cultivation 45,000 acres ; inerease in the quantity of roots and cereals exported 842,000 bush. 2 the year 1861, the Luports amounted to £314,902, aoe? the Exports, including shipping, to £343,421, currency, (showing a balance of trade in fuvour of the Island) That in twenty years, trom 1839 to 1809, the revenue more than doubled itself, the fyures being, in 1839 217,011; in 1859 £41 ,00u. Whilst to carry on this additional trade, the pub- lic Banking accommodation up to 1855 was nil, and since that time it bas never exceeded £52,000 per annum, or about thirteen shillings per head for the opulation, a sum so sina! as to be almost incredi- bie while the Banking accommodation of the neighbouring Province of New Branewick, it is believed, amounts to thirty shillings per head. The effect of the large additions above to, has been an increasing augial demand for Din- count, and for a larger amount of Circulation or Floating Cupity); but as the Bank of Pripce Ed- ward Island did not provide this, the Publie jp their necessity were driven to the private discoun- ter for accommodation, at very beavy rates, and it has been estimated that at these rates a sum nearly equal to the Capital of the proposed Bank is up- uually discounted. Deeply impressed with the importance of this evil, and feeling that there is in this Island ay ample field for the secure ami profitable action of a recond Bank, the promoters haye set on foot the proposed etablishment; aud in submitting this prospectus to the poole as well as Is Capi- lists, as a sufe and prolitable juvestment, they bex w refer to the Act of incorporation of the Cuion Baak, now before the Lye, ure, and to those parts of i especially inmen for the security of Shareholders and the publle generally, pamely Section 18th, whereby Stockholders ate dee personaly liable for redemption of al} Bijle i vy the Corporation, and al} debta dus thereby yroportion to the Stock oe eonpostivaly , bat no aoe hatder sbalj rw me vt any ing twice the amount o; Stock, ir to the Btack held by hia.
