It contatus uo Salphuric or other mineral Acids, such as contaminates ali the ordinary Salt | Vinegars of the United Kingdom, and is stronger by nearly 20 per cent in pure Malt Acid than the Vine ear on sale in London not manufactured on this | excelleutsystem.

of the enlarved production of an industrious and | energetic people. lLucredible as it may seem, uutil the yeur 1850, there never was a Bank established iin this Island; in that year, under the pressure of ja similar necessity, the Bank of Prince Edward | Island was called into existence ; and while it bas facilitated the trade and commercial business gene- jrally, it bas largely contributed to the develope- | ment of the resources of the Country, avd its results | are supposed to have been satisfactory to the Share- | holders, baving for some years past paid them an annual dividend of teu per cent. The increase in the population since the year

1855, the large addition to our trade and commerce, | the increasing Revenue, the breadth of arable land jcleared and cultivated, the growing increase of | | furming stock, the augmented export of grain and

agricultural produce of ail kinds, have rendered

| farther Banking operations in this Island absolutely | necessary .

; | It appears from the census of 1860, and from other | authentic sources, that in the preceding five years the increase in the population of this Island was | 9 361 persons; increase of breadth of land under

cultivation 45,000 acres ; increuse in the quantity of | roote and cereals exported 842,000 bush. That in the year 1861, the Importe amounted to £314,902, currency; the Exports, including shipping, to | £343,471, currency, (showing a balance of trade in favour of the Island.) That in twenty years, trom | 1839 to 1859, the revenue more than doubled itself, | the figures being, in 1839 £17,011; in 1859 £41,000.

Whilst to carry on this additional trade, the pub- lie Banking accommodation ap to 1855 was nil, and since thut time it bas never exceeded £52,000 per annum, or about thirteen shillings per head for the

pulatiou, a sum go small as to be xlmost ineredi- Pie ; while the Banking accommodation of the neighbouring Proyvinuee of New Brunswick, it is believed, amouuts to thirty shillings per head.

The effect of the large additions above referred to, has been an increasing annual dewand for Dis- count, and for a larger amount of Circulation or Floating Cupital; bat as the Bank of Prince Ed- | ward Island did not provide this, the Public in’ their necessity were driven to the private discoun- ter for accommodation, at very heavy rates, and it | has been estimated that at these rates a sum nearly | equal to the Capital of the proposed Bank is au- | | nually discounted. |

Deeply impressed with the importance of this evil, and feeling that there ie in this Island an ample field for the secure and profitable action of a |zecond Bank, the promoters bave set on foot the ip Establishment; and in snbmitting this p-ospectus to the Foreign as well a# Islaud Cupi- tulists, as a sufe and profitable investment, they beg to refer to the Act of Incorporation of the Union Bank. now before the Legisinture, and to those lparts of it « specially imended for the sex arity of Shareholders and the publie generally, namely, | Seetion 18th, whereby Stockholders are declared
