WM. GOBBET I', Secretary, The ANGLO-ITALIAN BANK (Limited) beg to announce that they are authorised by the Government of his Majesty the King of Italy to receive subscriptions for a further issue of Bonds of the Public Debt of the King dom of Italy for One hundred and thirty millions (nominal) of Italian lire (of which fifty millions are reserved for sub scription in Italy). part of a Loan of Four hundred mil lions of Italian lire (effective) authorised by a law of the Kingdom of Italy, of the 15th August, 1867, for the sale of certain of the Domain Lands of that kingdom; and by Royal Decrees of the Bth September, 1867, and 26th May, 1868, and Ministerial Decree of 23d October, 1869. The Bonds will bear interest at 5 per cent. per annum from the Ist October, 1869, payable half-yearly, by Cou pons, on the Ist April and Ist October. Thus on each Bond for 1,000 lire the annual interest will be 50 lire, which will be reduced to 45 lire 60 contesimi by the pre sent general Italian income tax of 8.80 per cent. The Coupons will be payable in Italy in Italian cur rency, and in London, Paris, and Frankfort-on-the-Main at the respective exchanges of the day at those places on Italy ; and will be exempt from all charges by the Italian Go vernment except Italian income tax. The Bonds will be to bearer, for sums of 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, and 50 , 000 lire each, and be inscribed in the Great Book of the Public Debt of the Kingdom of Italy. They will be signed by the proper officers of the Italian Treasury in the same way as the other Certificates for the Public Debt, and those issued in England will be countersigned by the Anglo-Italian Bank, as Agents for the Loan. The Bonds of this Loan will, from the time of their issue, be received by the Government at par from pur chasers of the State Domain Lands of the Kingdom of Italy, now in course of sale under the before-mentioned Law, in payment of their purchase-money. The large amount of lands sold (the price of which is payable by annual instalments) produces a special and continuous demand in Italy for Bonds having the privi lege of being received in payment. Bonds so applied will, on being delivered to the Govern ment, be cancelled. Such Bonds as shall not in this manner have been extinguished before t he Ist of January, 1876, will be redeemed in six annual instalments, com mencing in 1876. The Bonds will be redeemed by pur chase in the market so long as the market price shall not be above par; but when it shall be so they will be drawn by lot, and repaid at par, in Italy, in Italian currency. The Bonds will, during the period of redemption, retain the right of being received at par in payment for the Do main Lands, and the amount of Bonds so applied in each year will be reckoned as part of the amount to be redeemed in that year. It results from this that subscribers may, by continuing to hold their Bonds, ensure their being paid off at par in the year 1881 at the latest. The price of issue of the Bonds in England will be at the rate of £29 ss. sterling per Bond of 1,000 lire (£4O), being almost exactly 73i per cent. upon the nominal value. This will be payable as follows: On application .. £2 10 per Bond of 1,000 lire. On allotment On 30th November, 1869 7 5 9 1 On 20th Decemher, 1869 7 5 77, On 31st January, 1870 £29 5 Subscribers desirous to pay up in full may do so within a week after allotment, or on any of the days appointed for payment of instalments, and a discount on prepayment wilt he allowed at the rate of G per cent. per annum. Taking into account the current interest from Ist Octo ber last, and the discount allowed for payment in full on allotment, the price is reduced to about 72i per cent., or £2B 17s. sterling per 1,000 lire Bond. The market price of these Bonds in Italy previous to the announcement of the present issue was 80 per cent. Italian currency; equal at present exchanges to about £3O Bs. sterling per 1,000 lire Bond. The Government declares that from the closing of the subscription until the 31st May, 1870, no Bonds of this issue shall be sold by them at a lower price than 82 per cent., Italian currency, which, at present exchanges, is equivalent to about £3l3s. per Bond of 1,000 lire. The definitive Bonds issued to the English subscribers will bear the English and Italian stamps, for which no charge will be made to the subscribers. The Subscription is opened in London, Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfort-on the-Mai; Amsterdam, Trieste, and Geneva, as well as in It a ly, an d w ill c l ose on the evening of the 12th November instant. All applications in England must be made to Messrs. Robarts, Lubbock, and Co., 15, Lombard-street, London, the Bankers of the Anglo-Italian Bans - , in the annexed Form, and must be accompanied by a depcsit at the rate of .£2 10s. for every 1,000 lire Bond. When no allotment is made, the Deposit will be returned without deduction. If an allotment is made for less than the amount applied for, the surplus of the Deposit will be applied towards payment of the sum duo on allotment. Interest, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, will be charged on all instalments in arrear. If default is made in payment of the instalment due on allotment, the allotment will be liable to be cancelled, and the Deposit on applica tion forfeited. If default is made in payment of the sub sequent instalments for 30 days after the 31st January, 1870, the Government may sell the Bonds alloted, at the risk and expense of the subscriber in default, who will re main liable for the balance due. Nominative Scrip Certificates will, on payment of the Deposit on allotment, be issued by the Anglo-Italian Bank to the English subscribers. These Certificates will, after payment of all the instalments, be exchanged in London for definitive Bonds, so soon as the latter can be pre pared.. Copies of the Law and Decrees under which the Loan is made can be inspected at the Italian Consulate, No. 31, Old Jewry, London, E.C.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.
