The progress of Mauritian, as the chef seat of the production of sugar by free laboar, has bees such as to create a large sad ramble leaded prosesty, which affords an excellent held for the operation of • teed Mortgage Bank or Crtilit Fower. The following table of the exports of sugar from Mauritius gives the beet proof of this program and shows how dimly the prosperity of the Colony is now established Tons. 1860 MSS 1866 . 1851 1862 1662 1944 1355 The crop of 1961. owing 26, to 4 • 46 hurricane, only produced 105,000 toes. bat that of UN reached 11113,e00 tom This production tends every year to increase with the facilities of Moaning labour treat ladle with extended cultivation end isriesiticia, sad with the astalsßeheamt of railroads, which are la course of execution. and will be partially open to traffic la the early part of this year. At the present rate of production the annual vales of the sugar crop may be taken at 13,010.000. sod the fee-simple value of the mar Metes at 5A,000,000 ; in addition to which there is a large amount of real property in lands, houses, stud other forma. There I. also grist some kw awful outlay of capital in im• provementa m estates by erecting new machinery, chafing waste lands, and irrigating. The rate of Interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal to 10 per cent. per annum, ar C per cent. interest. with 2 pee amt. commission, would he readily paid on loans redeemable by annul ties, and wish a security sever less t so double the admace. It is estimated that • sem of £1,000,000 might be safely in vested at this rate. Supposing 31,000,600 only to be Invested at a Mermen of 4 per cent between the rate paid upon b In England sad re ceived in Mauritius, It is evident that the profit on the pald-up portion of the share eepliel, which would not exceed 3100,000 or 3160,000, would be eery large. The remainder of the Wes capital of 3500,000, together with the amount of fret mortgages ou first-clam real property, which would always equal the amount of bonds issued, would thus give these bonds an anexceptiemble murk,. The legislation of Mauritius affords great advantages for the establishment of • Credit Fender It is Um same as PAS of the Trench Code Civil and • law pee viding • simple and effective registratlan of all mortgages has )oat sten paned for the uprises purpose of facilitating the seeth ae of companies to lead upon land. trader these circumstances an application has been made to the Newton of the Lad Mortgage Bank of India, on behalf of • lane number of the principal Members of the Legislative Council and leaded proprieties of Mauritius. to establish a Wench there.

CLOSING OF THE AUSTRIAN REICHSILATH. SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR. VIENNA. Fri 15. The session of the Reielisrath was closed to-day. by the Emperor in person. His Majesty delivered a speech from the throne, of which the following is a summary. The Emperor said that in these event ful times he felt the want of seeing the represen tatives of the countay before the close of the ses sion, and expressed particular satisfaction at the presence of the Transylvanian deputies in the Heicherath. His Majesty continued :—" I hive observed with great satisfaction the material and intellectual progress made by Austria during the past session. The distress in some parts of Hungary has filled my heart with grief!' The Emperor expressed his thanks for the support and sympathy be had received from the whole monarchy, and said :—" Although the session has not been remarkable for the work accomplished, it has not been unfruitful, some important bills having already been sanctioned. Eastern Galicia and the Bukowina will have the advantage of railways, and a line will also be con structed in Transylvania. The financial law has been passed, and the increase of taxes and dues for the extraordinary wants of the State has been agreed to by you. Financial reforms are reserved for the next session. " Most serious events have directed cur attention to the state of affairs abroad. I have neglected nothing in order to maintain the precious blessing of peace. The mission of Austria is to be strong against any attack, but to raise the voice of peace in the council of nations. Our friendly relations with the great powers of Europe promise the complete attainment of this object. " The crisis which for years threatened to occur between Germany and Denmark has resulted in war, notwithstanding the endeavours of my govern ment to exercise a conciliatory influence. In con formity with the note of the Federal Diet I have, as a German Prince, taken part in the Federal execution, and in concert with the King of Prusaia. The Duchy of Sleswig has been occu pied as a pledge. The excellent conduct and bravery of the allied armies have achieved brilliant results. My joy on this account does not spring from ambition and love of conquest, but from the attainment of the just objects which are known to Europe. I confidently hope that the results achieved will secure a happy future to oountries whose rights have long been violated, and will not endanger the peace of Europe in a more extended sphere." The Emperor said in conclusion " Austria has shown that in her rejuvenated form she preserves her good old spirit, and that the in heritance of her strength and glory abides with her on the new path of liberty which she has entered."
