This Company is formed at the express solicitation of Merchants and others engaged in trading and monetary operations in the Ottoman Empire, for the purpose of ex tending to the mercantile community of Turkey that legi timate aid, which, in more favoured countries, is tendered to commerce by well-conducted banking institutions. The enormous development of the Trade of Turkey Within the last few years has not been met by any con tinnous increase of banking facilities ; and when it is con sidered that the total imports and exports have risen from £ 20 ,000,000 in 1852 to upwards of £80,000,000 in the year 1 864, some idea may be formed of the vast and profitable field which is open to a bank conducted upon English Plinciples, and managed by gentlen possessing a loc,al and prod-km.l wnowlodge of tmtZeutra In the year 1851 the total number of vessels that entered and cleared at the port of Constantinople was only 13,069, toto 8 n 4 )1a 4 1 3 e 9 2 ; 397,316 ; while in the year 1864 the number rose tonnage 7,433,063. At the port of Smyrna the total imports and export() in the year 1851 amounted only to ££2,464,525 ; while in 1684 they increased to £8,563,502. In these great centres of Turkish commerce there is but °lle joint-stock bank in existence. The Ottoman Bank (La Banque Imp6riale Ottoman()) is the only bank in Turkey, and the profitable nature of its °Perations is evidenced from the price of its shares, which, with £lO paid, are quoted at £l6, while the last dividend amounted to 15 per cent. per annum. The operations of the Bank of Turkey will be strictly confined to banking business, to the exclusion of anything connected with the business of a merchant. It will assist c ommerce, while at the same time it will avoid, on its own Part, all interference with or competition in trade. This feature in a bank for Turkey is of peculiar value, and will Secure at once for the Company a clientelle of the most ' u nexceptionable and profitable character. The Bank will afford facilities to merchants in this country and on the Continent, for the negotiation of their drafts on c orrespondents in Turkey. Application for Shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Offices of the Ottoman Company, 20, T hreadneedle-street, or at the Offices of the Bankers, Brokers, and Solicitors; but no application will be consi dered unless a deposit of £1 per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid. Copies of the memorandum and Articles of Association „ I laY be obtained at the Offices of the Solicitors, or at the omporary Offices of tho Bank. Copies will be forwarded "Y post, without charge, on application to the Secretary. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. (To be retained by the Bankers.)

An arrangement has been effected to amalgamate the very extensive iron, steel, shipbuilding, and engineering works and estates of the Hogbo Steel and Iron Works Company, in Sweden, with the Northfield Steel and Iron Company, near Rotherham, in England, both of which works are in full operation, and to form the same into a Company, with limited liability, under the Joint Stock Companies Act, under the name of the Anglo-Swedish Steel and Iron Company (Limited). The Hogbo Company, in Sweden, possesses very superior facilities for the manufacture of steel and iron by the Bes semer method, and at these works, under the management of Mr. G. F. Goransson, the Bessemer process for producing steel first became a practical success. It has, however, been found absolutely necessary, for the full development of the resources of the Hogbo Company, to secure a depot for their steel ingots, together with forging and rolling power in England ; and the Northfield Steel and Iron Company having already in existence extensive plant specially adapted for the forging and rolling of steel ingots, it has been agreed to work the two concerns under one manage ment and in one interest. _ _ _ ----- The whole of the estates and properties of the vendors, including blast furnaces, rolling mills, foundries, engine and shipbuilding works, together with stationary engines, railways, ships, tools, &c., used in carrying on the same, will be taken at a valuation by two valuers, one to be ap pointed by the vendors, and the other by the Directors of this Company, and will be conducted on the principle as between an outgoing and incoming partner. The vendors accept as part payment of the purchase money the sum of £200,000 in shares of the Company, with £l2 10s. only credited as paid up on each share, thus be coming proprietors of £400,000 of the capital of the Com pany, the whole of which the vendors agree to hold for five years; and that no dividend shall be payable on such shares so held by them during such period, until the other share holders shall have been paid fifteen per cent. per annum on the paid up capital. Tho vendors further accept, as part payment of the pur chase money, the Company's debentures for £200,000, re deemable in three, five, and seven years. A mortgage of £200,000, already secured on part of the property proposed to be purchased, will also be transferred to the new Company. No payment whatever, either in shares or cash, is to be made for goodwill. The result of these arrangements will be that nearly the wholeladditional capital subscribed will be available for extending and developing the business of the Company ; and the acceptance of these terms by the vendors is satis factory evidence of their faith in the undertaking—in fact, this Company is not formod to pay out the vendors, but purely to enlarge the partnership under the more conve nient form of limited liability. Possession of the estates and works will be given about the Ist J aamary next (1866), and this Company will enter at once upon lucrative business in full operation, free from the risks which are inseparable from newly-established undertakings. The Northfield Works have the exclusive manufacture of Captain Rodger's patent indented small palmed anchors, for which large orders from the Admiralty and many of the great steamboat companies are now in course of exe cution, and the demand for which is much greater than the present machinery of the Northfield Company enable them to meet. Tho use of charcoal in Sweden, instead of coke, enables steel to be made direct from the blast furnaces, thereby avoiding the expense of re-melting the pig iron (which is necessary in England), and thus effects a great saving in the cost of production. • Taking into consideration the immense and daily in creasing demand for steel, there can be no doubt but that with the introduction of additional capital this Company must realise large profits. The services of Mr. Goransson, who has hitherto had the management of the works and estates of the Hogbo Com pany, in Sweden, and who holds a large pecuniary interest in this Company, have been secured as managing director for Sweden. The Memorandum and Articles of Association may be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors of the Company. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may bo obtained from the Bankers, Brokers, Auditors, and Soli citors ; and at the Offices of the Company.

The accident -at—the Wyoming- Hotel on-Sunday will probably prove to be the announcement of the advent of a now explosive material. We have heard so much during the war of torpedoes and other infernal machines that the community came naturally to the conclusion, on the first account, that the mysterious box so long neglected in the hotel contained only one more of the destructive devices of our enemies. But the statement of Leers that the box contained specimens of " chemical oils," brought here with a view to make money, and with no evil purpose, is in all likelihood true. Leers brought the box from Hamburg, which place he left in June. Some few months before that a chemist of Hamburg, Mr. Alfred Nobel, announced the discovery of a new blasting oil, which he claimed would supersede gunpowder for all ordinary explosive purposes. Nobel's compound produces an explosion five times the volume of gas produced by an equal weight of gunpowder, and, as its inventor claims, has thirteen times the power. It is a chemical compound of thirty-seven parts of nitric acid with one of glycerine. This nitro-glycerine is a yellowish oily fluid in appearance. It is not soluble in water nor explosive in fire. It detonates under certain circumstances. The accident in Greenwich-street answers in all respects to an explosion of this material, especially in terrific power. It is evident that the explosive material was a fluid; there was some evolution of gas just before the explosion, giving out an odour that was mistaken for that of hydrochloric acid, and when the box was let fall on the street there was a sufficient blow no doubt to explode a detonating com pound. Before the box was carried out flames issued from it, and Nobel's nitro-glycerine will burn without ex ploding. Nobel's compound, though without the immense force of chloride of nitrogen, has been found to possess great power in mining operations. Had General Grant at the time the mine was run under the rebel works at Petersburg placed in it a weight of this material equal to the weight of gun powder placed there the explosion would have simulated an earthquake. Ho would have shaken down every fort that stood between the two armies and every house in Petersburg, and would have made himself felt through out the territory then held by the enemy. It is difficult to say what might have become of the two armies. This chemical discovery is one more of the secrets of nature secured by science; and it is still safe to say that we aro only on the threshold of discovery in this direction. Gun powder, nitro-glycerine, and chloride of nitrogen stand perhaps as only A B C in the ascending series of explo sive forces with which the great operations of nature have been wrought. By their aid we may dimly guess at the powers whose explosion piled up such ranges of granite as the Rocky Mountains, the Andes and the Alps ; at. the lesser powers that have torn open the mountains through which great rivers, as the Hudson, flow to the sea ; that have "dusted down the domes" of cities like Lisbon, and that require such vast vent holes and safely valves as Vesuvius and Etna. By considering the earth as ono grand chemical laboratory, with forces of unknown and un imagined power operating within it according to fixOd laws, we can gain a better conception than in any other way of of the operations of nature that have most astonished the world, that have been most regarded as impenetrable mys teries, and that have been most used by sup.rstition to darken the human mind. —Kew York Herald. A CANADIAN VIEW or FENIANISM.—We question (says the Toronto Globe) whether anything so irredeemably ridiculous as the Fenian conventions and congresses in the United States ever attracted so much attention. Day by day the proceedings of the convention, or such a sum mary as the leaders choose to furnish, come over the tele graph wires as though it was interesting news. Some men can hold conventions for objects possible of attain ment, and pass comparatively unnoticed. But by virtue of its very craziness the Fenian convention secured the at tention of the whole continent. " When I talk seriously to you," said a parson to his hearers, "you fall asleep ; but were I to bring a fool here to talk nonsense, you would be all attention." That parson would think his view of human nature confirmed if ho witnessed the amount of at tention given to the Fenians who aro "exhibiting" before the American public. For surely never before did silly people do such silly things as did the Fenian delegates in their recent deliberations—that is, if their proceedings can be properly called deliberations. What a fine touch of the absurd it was to hold "secret" sessions—just as though Fenian conspirators could ever keep secret any real mis chief which they might intend to attempt. On every pre vious occasion the informer has been as inevitable a cha racter in Irish rebellion as the rebel leaders themselves. If a dozen men conspired to do a traitorous act, there was always one of them to rush to the nearest representative of the Government and betray the whole plot. What a joke it is, at this time of day, for the leaders of this, the most ridiculous of all attempts to revolutionise Ireland, to pretend that it is worth their while to hold their meetings in secret. We look upon the American branch of the Fenian busi ness as comparatively harmless. Beyond cheating its dupes out of their, money, it can do little mischief. In deed, we think it may do good, by rendering more certain the betrayal of the plots of the conspirators of Ireland, though they are perhaps sure enough to bo betrayed in any event. The Fenian leaders in the State have no notion of risking their precious persons by attempting to invade Ireland, and if they had serious intentions of that kind they could never manage to carry them out. If they relied upon American assistance they would be disappointed— for the native American has hardly any prejudices stronger than those which he feels against the class of people who make up the Fenian Brotherhood. His best joke at their expense is to compare them to the negroes, and to rank both as low as possible in the scale of humanity. One might search Britain through without finding such bitter contempt against those people as exists in the United States. Fenianism in the States is comparatively harmless, because it is never brought in contact with the object of its bate. There is more chance of mischief from Fenianism in British territory. In Ireland, for example, it might lead to outrages upon the loyal portion of the population, or to the destruction of property. The Memorial de la Loire states that the riband manufactory is extending itself considerably in that de partment. A great number of weavers who were areidle trn fully employed since the conclusion of thecivil wr. America. The manufacturers have received large long dull rgeoders within the last week, and it is expect ed that th season, of which the effects are still experienced by the . operative classes, is finally close d. The improvement trade is not only beneficial to t he riband weavers but m like wise to the lace makers. The wages of the weavers has been increased one-third, and they look forward to a com paratively prosperous winter after four years of suffering.

The last share issued up to Michaelmas, 1865, is No. 22,925. The returns for the first quarter, ending December 24th, will be given at the usual quarterly meeting after Lady day. The shareholders will find on reference to the bal ance sheet (a copy of which was duly forwarded to every investor), that the cash received for subscriptions on shares and on deposit investments for the past year, amounted to £40,027105. 3d., and that the cash received for payments on account of land and building advances was £31,332 75. 9d. The items under the head of " Income," with a single ex ception, show a marked increase over last year's returns, particularly in the interest on advances to allottees, show ing the great increase in the sale of land. The permanent income has thus been materially added to, by the increasing disposition of the buyers of land to avail themselves-of the borrowing power afforded by the society. The investments in the society on the share account aro £132,579 155., and on deposit account, £26,588, 16s. 3d. Tho withdrawals on shares were £14,624 9s. 10d., and on deposits £10,795 2s. 11d. A very large increase has taken place in the sale of land, both on the old estates and new properties allotted this year, and the committee have there fore been enabled to bring up the reserve fund to £12,000, and as, after providing for the interest of five per cent. per annum on shares, and four per cent. per annum on deposits, the accounts show an available balance, the executive com mittee are enabled to add to the accounts of members hold ing uncompleted invested shares, in respect of which no interest has been paid a bonus, or, in other words, interest at the rate of six per Cont. per annum. On those shares on which interest warrants have boon issued, an additional one ' per cent. per annum will be included in the half-yearly interest warrants payable on the Ist of May next. Thus every payment on shares on the register at the annual meeting, not being in arrear, will realise six per cent. per annum for the year ending the 30th of September, 1865. As regards the interest on completed shares and shares in progress, paid a year in advance and upwards (for which the half-yearly warrants up to Lady Day and Michaelmas are issued on the Ist of May arid the Ist of November ro spectively), the rate will remain at five per cent. per annum, and at four per cent. on deposits, under Rule 45. The Earl of Bective, M.P., having resigned his place at the board, the committee elected, under Rule 32, James Goodson, Esq., M.P., chairman of the Great Eastern Railway Com pany, as duly reported to the quarterly meeting in April last. The following members of the executive committee retire by rotation, viz. W. Currie, Esq., James Good son, Esq., M.P., C. E. Newcomen, Esq., Henry Pownall, Esq., and the Honourable and Rev. W. Talbot ; and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The ordinary quarterly meetings were duly held at the Norfolk-street offices on April 4, July 4, and Oct. 10. The new estates allotted this year were—The Southgate Road estate, Wood Green, No. 2, and the Felixstowe estate, East Suffolk, 2d portion, Jan. 11; the Sunnyside estate, San down, Lsle of Wight, the Roehampton Park estate, 4th portion, and the Seven Sisters' estate, Tottenham (re allotment), April 6 ; the Deal estate (Government Nava Yard), Ist portion, Juno 7 ; the Woodhouse estate, Wan stead, 3d portion, July 19 ; and the Putney estate, No. 4 (close to the station), Oct. 27. All the plots on the Felix stowe, Sandown, and Wanstead estates have been sold. On the Seven Sisters' property there are but three plots undisposed of, and good sales have been effected on the Wood Green, Roehampton, and Putney properties, which require only the completion of the works to ensure a de mand for the few remaining sites. Owing to the delay in carrying out arrangements with the Town Commissioners of Deal for the drainage, it is only within the last few days the contractor has been enabled to progress with the works, and the roads will now shortly be commenced. A depu tation of the Board, namely, Viscount Ranelagh, Colonel Brownlow Knox, M.P., and Colonel Moyrick, attended a public meeting on the 7th of June at the Town Hall, Deal, at which the mayor and the leading inhabitants were pre sent. From the general opinion expressed, and the reso lutions passed, the committee anticipate that when the estate is laid out and the works are finished, that, with the fine openings to the sea, the extension of the Esplanade to the main streets of the town, combined with the proxi mity of the property to the New Pier, Deal will become one of the most frequented bathing-places on the coast. There aro other schemes for the development of building at Deal, such as the proposed docks, the railroad between Dover and Deal, and the new short line for direct railway com munication between Deal and London. Increased hotel and house accommodation close to the sea can now be ob tained by the conversion of the Navy-yard into a building property. The Beacon Hill Estate, Newark, and the Leeds Estate have been closed this year, and the profit carried to the balance-sheet. The whole of the plots on the Plough Lane Estate, Battersea, No. 2, have also been disposed of, The new properties acquired by the society since the last annual report are :—St. Austell (near the station), Corn wall (East) ; New Ferry ( o pposite Liverpool), Cheshire ( N or th) ; Putney, No. 4 (close to the station),Surrey (East); Stafford (near the station), Staffordshire (South); Hereford (near the Worcester station), Herefordshire. The allotment of the St. Austell and New Ferry estates will be commenced on the 30th inst. The first -mentioned proper ty is in a thriving town adjoining the port of Charleston, St. Austell Bay. The New Ferry land is situ ated at Bebington, close to the Mersey, and has a frontage to tho Chester Hill-road : it is within a few minutes walk of theferry just opened opposite Liverpool, and the Beding ton station on the Birkenhead and Chester Railway. The sale of the Putney estate began on the 27th of October. The Richmond-road frontage has been sold, and the now communication to Wandsworth-lane, which will be shortly opened, will speedily develope the remainder of the land. The Stafford and Hereford estates, both essentially build ing properties, will be offered for sale early in the next year. The committee have much pleasure in reporting that the consecration, by the Lord Bishop of Oxford, all Saints' Church, erected on the freehold site given by the society on the Downshire-square estate, Reading, took place on the 31st October. A site was set apart on the Brockley-hill-park estate, Forest-hill, for the erection of a church ; but difficulties arose in the transfer of the ' intended ground to another portion of the estate. A piece of land opposite the society's property having been assigned by the Earl of Dartmouth, the foundation-stone of the church was laid ou the 30th of October, and the .Brockley-hill inhabitants will thus obtain the church accommodation so much required. The committee cannot but acknowledge the kind spirit evinced by the in cumbent of Forest-hill (the Rev. J. M. Clarke) in the ne gociations for the site. The society has supported, as usual, the claims of the allottees on its estates in various counties, in the registration courts, free of expense. Tho executive committee can refer with gratification to the returns of the last general election, which show that 95 per cent. of the allottees on the society's estates voted for the Conservative candidates, thus proving the political ad vantage of the society in the extension of the franchise on the basis of property and intelligence. The Conservative Land Society has commenced its fourteenth year with every indication of continuous success, having acquired sixty estates in twenty-six counties ; sold lt.nd to the ex tent of nearly £416,000 ; and issued 22,925 shares, repre senting £1,146,250, and the executive committee feel that they can claim the continuance of that confidence which Mr. ADDERLEY, in responding to the toast of " The Conservative Members of the two Houses of Parliament," addressed himself to the question of the reform of the Parliamentary representation, and said :—What we have to seek for in any reform, or any change in the institutions of the country, should not be so much the advocacy of any special views or interests, but that the nation should speak its own mind independently. I, for one, am perfectly ready to lend my assistance to any practical extension of the franchise over the length and breadth of this land, wherever it can be independently eiercised. I am the last man to say that the working classes have as much of the franchise as they ought to have of that political power which consists of voting for members of Parliament, for it is only a small part of the political power which is spread through this country, and which is possessed by every man, be he labourer or be he peer. (Hear.) But taking that particular portion of political power which consists in voting for members of Parliament, I am the last man to say that there are not many of the working classes in this country eminently fitted to posSess that franchise who are not at this moment in pos session of it_ (Hear.) I do not ask for the admission of the working classes as a body, as if there were no distinctions amongst them, and as if the working classes were a body of men marked by some great distinction from all other classes. Many of the work ing classes are far above others of the same class in point of intelligence and in point of independence— (hear, hear)--and when I say that I speak with an intimate acquaintance with all parts of the country, for I have had much intercourse with them in con nection with carrying through Parliament many great political questions in which they have been deeply interested during the quarter of a century that I have had a seat in the House of Commons, and I am perfectly satisfied that many of them are prepared to exercise the franchise with intelligence and independence, which I hold to be the main quali fications for the exercise of the franchise. But lam not on that account to say that there are no distinc tions between them, and that all are equally pre pared to exercise the franchise. At this moment the question of the extension of the franchise is the one question which occupies the attention of the coun try, and nothing can be more important than that gentlemen like you who take an active and intelligent, and therefore a powerful part in politic; should con sider distinctly and clearly understand the grounds on which that question should be argued, because in arguing it there has been, in and out of Parlia ment, the grossest abuse of language, and the utmost confusion of ideas. The extension of the suffrage is generally spoken of as a synonymous term for reform, as if no other kind of reform could take place. Mr. Forster has been making a long speech, and the length and breadth of it was, " vote for reform," but he did not say what reform. (Hear, hear.) Why, reform was preached from every pulpit every Sunday, and when Mr. Forster says he is for reform, I say so am I. (Hear.) I look into the newspapers of the day to find any intimation of the views of various men on this question, and find the greatest uncertainty. I agree with Mr. Lowe in the great speech he made at the close of last session, that whilst this is the most important question which can come before the country, the most important that can be argued in Parliament, there is no question, no railway bill, which comes before Parliament on which it is not required that a man should argue with more close reasoning, with more sense and cogent logic, that that of Parliamentary reform. Any nonsense serves, any cat-call passes, upon reform—any vague expressions are quite sufficient to go down on that question ; and no man appeared to think it necessary to ask what reform was needed, and what would be the effect of his proposal. (Hear, hear.) After humorously noticing the disputes between the three Parliamentary reform unions in Manchester, Mr. Adderley invited the meeting to consider how many of those gentlemen who were triumphantly returned to Parliament as supporters of the Ministry at the last election would stand now. He had ventured at the last election at Staf ford to predict that many of the promises then made would scarcely survive the year, and now, before Parliament met, what had become of those pledges of support of a Minister? There was a great deal more buried in the tomb of Lord Palmer ston than those who surrounded it were aware of. (Hear, hear.) There was one thing very clear, that the question of Reform to be brought before Par liament in 1866 would be totally different from the question as it was discussed in 1832. The Reform Bill of 1832 was called for by the existence of pal pable grievances. The Parliament was so imperfect that measures which were required could not be passed because Parliament was not properly consti tuted, and they could only be carried by a change in the constitution of Parliament. But now, on the contrary, by the confession of everybody, no such defect existed in the constitution of the coun try, and there was no grievance before the country ; but it was boasted that every measure that the country needs has been carried, and every carefully considered proposal for reform was adopted. A reform in the representation was therefore called for on other grounds than those which led to the Act of 1832. (Hear, hear.) Those grounds were either that it wa s desired to extend the franchise to such persons as had not at this moment its enjoyment, and that was a very g oo d and legitimate ground, and was, indeed, the only ground on which such a measure could be asked for. On two grounds only could that exten sion take place. The first was that such an extension should take place as an expedient mea sure, that more people should have the suffrage, that more people should share in sending members to parliament because of .the spread of intelligence in the country. It it were argued on this basis, the question would arise how far the suffrage should be extended. The other basis of the proposal was that the suffrage was a right attaching to every adult man in this country, and if the question were argued on that ground the question would be not how far to extend it, but why they should deprive any one of it. (Hear, hear.) He imagined that the Eccle shall Conservative Association would take the for mer view, that the franchiseshotildb o e f extended country da y s far as was expedient in the interests Lord sse r p d o ßn s s s s e e d il i w t. as M un r . . e in n t t e o re n st to of sa t y ho t s h e at w andAd for d e le y th w e fortunately in his old age called to the task of b e i ng the guide and head of a cabinet, one half of which is scarcely for making any progress at all, and the other half is for upsetting the constitution. (Laugh.. ter an d applause.) He has to drive this difficult team with one rein drawn tickling his old provocatives, and the other rein drawn tight with the reticences of his experience, prompting the desire to " rest and be thankful." (Loud laughter and applause.) That was a task of extreme difficulty, and with all respect for Lord Russell's patriotism, and with affectionate attachment to his colleague, Mr. Gladstone, he must say that if the Ministry survived for six months lie would give it immortality. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.—The Richmond Enquirer gives a gloWing picture of the new prosperity of that city. We are told that " the ascending walls and swiftly changing scenes from a theatre of ashes and destruction to Vistas of industrial monuments, grow upon the senses as dreams grow and accumulate upon the imagination. The merchants of Richmond, beginning the new era without money and almost without friends, are now, by their own efforts, regaining with sure and steady steps the path o f their former prosperity, and open in g a still broader avenue to a still more extensive success.. In . the encouraging dis play of the mind to resolve , the will to execute,' which finds expression in_ the daily scenes of industry and pro grels about us, must be seen a future Richniond, far ex ceeding in all the attributes of wealth and influence the Richmond of old. 11 II E 0 X F O R D. 6, OXFORD STREET, W.
