OffiCCS of the Credit Fonder, 80, Lombard-street PROSPECTUS. The leading* financial establishments is Paris are the Credit Mobilier and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood the test of experience, and have realised very large profits for their shareholders—the transactions of the Credit Fonder being based upon the Land Credit system, whilst the Credit Itobilier embraces general Financial business. The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Fonder for Great Britain and Ireland, which, since its establishment, has found the offers of busi ness, both of a Land Credit as well as of a general Financial character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera tions as the Credit Foncier, with due regard to its special ob ieets, cannot legitimately carry out. The principal objects of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), are as follows, viz.:— To co-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus trial undertakint2s. To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans. To aid in carrying out concessions, based upon Govern ment guarantees and subventions. To make advances to responsible contractors for English and foreign railways, and oth-r public works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds shares, deben tures and other a p prowl a securities, with special referenoe to the requirements of ~he Stock Exchange. The Credit Molmlier (Limited) will also receive money on deposit for IoN or short per ode. The marks-el success which has attended the operations of the various Financial Companies, now in existence, is well known, and is evidenced by the following quotations of the market value e f their respective shares.

The object of this Company is SPEC to purchase and extend the well-known and f , ucc-sst ul business carried on by the Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black well. The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), was established in the year it 6.57, and has now attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels of war and ships of the highest class for the commercial marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg ing's and castings of the largest class for marine engines, bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, dm., are all of the best class and in the highest gate of efficiency, forming together an establishment unequalled. Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the British navy —the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur—have been built by the Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been received for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course of construction. It has been determined to add to the existing. business of the Company two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially connected with its present operations. For this purpose, as well as for the large and increasing business of the Com pany, a considerable extension of capital will be required as the works advance ' • and in order to carry out the objects in view, it is proposed to transfer to the new Company (subject to payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of the valuable contracts, assets, goodwill, and effects of the Thames Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities and engagements, as from the Ist of January, 1864, in consi deration If the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that Ccmpany will take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and £125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum. The property of the Company consists of twenty UM of freehold land on the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black well, and the premises and branch works known as the Phcenix Iron Works, Millwall, together with the valuable plant and works. It is proposed to const'uct two graving docks capablr of re ceiving ships o f t h e largest class, for which the accommoda tion on the Rive* Thames is at present insufficient. For this r n rpose it is i ntended to purchase eight acres of freeho'd to!land immediate! adjoining the works, having a frontage both ow Creek and the River Thames, which 1 nd is, at pre purcilausr occupation of the Company, w ith the option of violultP ro posed new gra v i ng d oc k s w i ll b e i n the i mme di a t e it I, of the E set and West India and Victoria Docks ; and fionc?nfidently anticipated that from their admirable situa both ian,ptutand and remunerative employment for repairs, Rs engines, wi Ibe found. pany, Which contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com m upwards will be transferred to the new Comp .ny, amount Of the worklinahmillion and a quarter sterlingfindependently all been taken. and for the forge and rolling mills), and have I ion of the sa to : such terms as fairly to justify the anticipa tended the e•o,pijoiltab'e results which have already at- All the Directorl'ars operations. terest in the new ( ~,t the old Company will retain their in the management Iv ' 1 1 4 8 .rtY, and their seats at its Board, and which have hitherto o on n d l i nt in the same experienced hands proesed it so successfuhy, and raised it to its present state of allotment rf Applications for Share, toPLeritY* In the event of no al _male in th e anneKe d f orm. pa-it will be returned to full.

We fervently pray that the late auspicious event may contribute to this end, and that the grandson of Albert the Good may be richly endowed with the virtues of his illustrious grandsire." " May it please your Royal Highness,— " The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commoners of the city of London, in Common Council assembled, rejoice in the opportunity, which is afforded them of tendering to your Royal Highness their hearty congratulations on the birth of your first-born son. The citizens of London, who hailed with delight the advent of your Royal highness to our shores, will ever take a lively interest in all which can effect your happiness and welfare. They rejoice, therefore, in the event which is calculated to add to the domestic happiness of your Royal highness, and they trust that you may be long spared to watch over the Royal Prince, and that you' may be rewarded for your care by witnessing in the young Prince the gradual development of those virtues which alone can add dignity to the position to which by birth and lineage he is entitled." The Court then proceeded to dispose of the business for which it was specially called together, which was to consi der a report of the Improvement Committee, brought up by Mr. Deputy Fry, and asking the sanction of the Court to the plan agreed upon by the committee, in connection with the Holborn Valley Improvement Bill in Parliament. The report gave a detail of the plan and the mode in which it is to be carried out, and stated that the bill had already been road a second time, end was to go before a committee on Monday. Mr. Deputy FRY made a few remarks, and hoped the Court would agree with the report. Mr. Deputy DE JERSEY, while agreeing with the general plan, thought that the 80 feet which was the width pro posed by the committee for the high level roadway from the Old Bailey to liatten-garden was too wide, and,he proposed that it should be only 70 feet, which he said would make a reduction of some £15,000 in the expenses, and ho proposed an amendment to that effect, and also that the width of the other streets should be left an open question. The amendment was, however, lost. Ono or two other slight alterations were proposed, but the report was eventually agreed to, and referred back to the committee for execution. THE PROPOSED RAILWAYS IN TUE CITY. In accordance with a motion placed on the paper, Mr. Deputy LOTT moved as follows :—" That it be referred to a Special Ward Committee to take into consideration the various railway schemes now about to be introduced into Parliament, and which comprise projected railways enter ing into or traversing this city ; and to report to this Court whether any of them are likely seriously to affect the inte rests of this city by the disfigurement of the streets, the un due annihilation of the buildings, the destruction of trade, and the expulsion of the inhabitants." Some discussion took place as to whether the matter should be referred to the Law and Parliamentary Commit tee, or to a Special Ward Committee, and Deputy Lott's motion was eventually agreed to, with the addition of the words, "and how far they may affect the ratepayers by widening streets, which are already sufficiently wide," and the Court shortly afterwards adjourned.

(From the Times Special Correspondent with the Danish Army.) DANISH HEADQUARTERS, SONDERBORG, FEB. 22. There was an alarm here this morning at half.past 9 o'clock. Nothing more welcome to break through the dulness of our garrison life. There was no "roll of the alarm drum," for, as I told you, sheepskins are banished from the Danish army ; but a few notes from bugles and trumpets told us that the enemy was up and doing, and that it was high time for the Danes to bestir themselves in their turn. Column after column marched beneath our windows, almost inaudible, o❑ account of the thick layer of fresh-fallen and fast-falling snow on which they trod. Presently there was running of orderlies to and fro, the muffled roiling of cannon and waggons, the stir of thousands of men, noiseless and ominous. We walked down the town to the bridges, crossed over to the fete-dc-posit, and toiled up the slippery ascent leading to the top of Dybbol-bill, Some score of wounded men and officers passed us, on their way to the town hospital or " Jaz iret," con veyed on stretchers, or in rough country carts, which jolted them dreadfully. I do not know what impression their wan countenances, their haggard eyes, in some instances swimming in death, their hands pressed on their bleeding chests, and their dumb look of agony wrought on the fine fellows who tramped or paced along with us outward bound ; but to us non-combatants the sight was heartrending. The troops moved on with their wonted steady look, nevertheless, the notes of their martial air swelling up to the highest pitch, and the ranks were only momentarily broken as some of the ' soldiers halted and addressed now this now that of the sufferers in the carts, in whom they recognised friends or acquaintances, or dear ones, perhaps, be longing to them by nearer ties, but soon fell again into their ranks after a pressure of hands and the exchange of a few cheering words. We were hardly out into the open country beyond the palisades, however, before the glorious roar of the cannon drove all melancholy thoughts from our minds. The Prussians, we soon learnt, had come in great force out of their quarters at Nybol ; they had made a vigorous onset on the Danish outposts, and, driving them before them with much slaughter, had occu pied the village of Dybbol. From Sonderborg, as the reader must by this time be aware, about half an English mile, the road leads to the Dybbol wind mill ; another quarter of a mile higher and further is the top of Dybbol-hill, and across the whole crest of this hill, from the Vemming-bund to the Alsund, there lies the position of Dybbol, te❑ bastions in a row, presenting about 100 cannon on a line about a mile further, to the village of Dybbol, the main body of which, however, does not lie on the road, but a little to the right—a straggling village, with church, parsonage, and school-house, like most other places of the same kind in this country, a cluster of large farm houses with barns, courts, and all manner of rustic buildings, intersected by a variety of by-roads and lanes, a perfect maze of broken ground not to be easily threaded by a chance wayfarer. Between the village of Dybbol and that of Nybol there lies a distance of about one English mile and a half, most of it encumbered by woods on either side, bearing the name of Stenterup Skov on the right, and of Boffel Skov on the left. On this same left-hand side lies also the isthmus of the Broager Peninsula, now in the hands of the Austro- Prussians. Up to this morning the Danes occupied the village of Dybbol without fortifying it, and they threw out their advanced posts through the woods on the right and left, quite in sight of the Prussian pickets on the main road near Nybol, and on the isthmus of the small peninsula on the shore of the Vemming-bund. The inhabitants of Dybbol, as a matter of course, have all long since deserted their houses, a great many of which have already been demolished, and either designed or ac cidentally burnt to the ground—a fate which has equally befallen the greater number of the scattered country houses for miles round. Even as I ca me home at 7 o'clock last evening, after a long ride, my eyes were saddened by a red glare which told us t oo plainly of some dreadful conflagration precisely i n the direction of this same village of Dybbol. Well, the village of Dybbol had peen occupied by the Prussians, and a.° Dane,li outposts had been driven in just as we reached the summit of Dybbol hill, at half-past 9- But by this time the bastions nearer to the village, Nos. 6 and 8, placed at hardly half a mile's distance from th e first houses, opened such a well-sustained fire upon the Prussians that these, after feebly answering with their field artillery, began to fall hack to the woods, and were soon hidden from iew. The whole of the Danish army v had in the meantime turned out ; regiment after regiment, closely massed together, moved forward, but upon reaching the woods they found that the enemy had abandoned them and, under their cover, slunk away to their own lines at Nybol. Both armies have thus regained their former positions. The action was unimportant in its results—a BENJAMIN WEBSTER, New Theatre Royal Adelphi, Feb. 27, 18a.

Owing to Liverpool sticking to Lucy, the latter's jockey was compelled to rouse her to get second place. Violet, who started in a black sweat from having had to gallop from the station to the course, was a bad fourth. The owner of the third horse ob jected to Lucy receiving second money on the grounds of having won at Nottingham, but as the competitors in that race were not subject to race-horse duty, the objection was overruled.

Three•quarters of a mile from West End headed Real Jam, bat the lattcrresumed the lead in a few strides, and came over the third last flight of hurdles with a clear lead. At this part of the race Lincoln, who had been run ning prominently in front, dropped back.

Walter White was the first to come to himself, and though much shaken and dizzy from the effects of the fall, he bravely went to the as sistance of his brother professional Stevens, who miracu lously escaped broken bones, though he was so severely shaken that he was subsequently unable to ride Emblem in the Midland Steeplechase for Lord Coventry.

The LORD MA.You, on taking the chair, said he had to announce to the Court that the deputation appointed by the Court had attended at Windsor Castle on Saturday last, according to appointment, and presented the address of congratulation to her Majesty the Queen, and he handed in her Majesty's gracious reply. Ho also informed the Court that the Court had proceeded on Monday to Marl borough House to congratulate their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales upon the birth of an infant Prince, and be also handed in their replies. The RECORDER then read the answer from her Majesty, which was as follows : " I receive with sincere satisfaction your dutiful and affectionate address of congratulation on the birth of the Prince my grandson. "your expressions of warm attachment and devoted loyalty to my person and family are most gratifying to me. " The city of London will ever possess my earnest wishes for its welfare and prosperity." The replies from the Prince and Princess of Wales were also read by the RECORDER, and were as follows :- 1 "My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,—l thank you sincerely for your congratulations on the birth of a Prince and the Princess's recovery. I am deeply sensible of the feeling which prompts your hope that the virtues of her Majesty and of my late lamented father may dsscend upon my offspring. " The Princess and myself are deeply grateful to the city of London for the sympathy it has shown in all that con cerns our happiness, which is inseparably connected with the best interests and welfare of this country. "My Lord Mayor,—l return you my cordial thanks for the address which you now present to me on the part of yourself and of the Aldermen and Commoners of the city of London. " I am very sensible of the warm interest therein expressed for myself and my infant son, and I deeply appreciate the kind, loyal feeling manifested towards me." The addresses and their replies were then ordered to be entered upon the journals of the Court. The following is a copy of the address presented to her Majesty Most Gracious Soverign— _ _ _ _ - " we, your most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commoners of the city of London, in Common Council assembled, approach the Throne with the strongest feelings of loyalty to your Majesty's person and Government, to offer our humble congratulations on the birth of a son and heir to his Roy al Highness the Prince of Wales. Bound as we are to your Majesty by feelings alike of grateful attachment and devoted loyalty, we cannot but rejoice in the event which, while it is calculated to add to your Majesty's domestic happiness, affords to your people fresh solurity for the stability of the institutions under which we have the happiness to live. That God's choicest blessings may be vouchsafed to the infant Prince and his illustrious parents, and that your Majesty may have the delight of seeing in him the grewth of the virtues which adorned the life and have endeared the memory of yourßoyal Consort, is the earnest prayer of the citizens of London." The addresses to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales were as follows :-- "May it please your Royal Highness,— " The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commoners of the city of London, in Common Council assembled, desire to SHORTH AND.-PITM AN'S PHONOGRA PHIC TEACHER. 6d.; free by post, 7d.

Prevention is at ill times better than cure; be, therefore, prepared during the wet and wintry season with a supply of KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES, which possess the virtue of averting, as well as of curing a cough or cold ; they are good alike for the young or for the aged—they soothe bronchial irritation ; and for im oroving the voice, the preacher, statesman, singer, and actor have long patronised them. " St. Paul's Cathedral, 30th November, 1849. " Sir, —I have much pleasure in recommending your lozenges to those who maybe distressed with hoarseness. They have afforded me relief on several occasions when scarcely able to sing from the effects of catarrh. I think they would be very useful to clergymen, barristers, and public orators.

Prussians. The Danes had only tw t k regiments ~','. 1 4 engaged at the beginning of the fray, tilt one of ~ . .44 them, the 22d, lost no less than 100 officers and .-. ' u men dead and wounded. The losses of the other regiment, the 18th, were hardly less severe; and, I am told, not a few of the men at the out posts (300 it is supposed) fell into the enemy's hands. On the other hand, the Prussians left many dead and dying on the field—heaps of them. The Danes fought with great bravery ; a young officer of the 22d, at the head of his company, charged the enemy with the - bayonet with a headlong valour which is even now the theme of every man's eulogy here. The little Danish army went into and retired from the field in high spirits, and looks forward to a new trial to-morrow with an ardour which I have not yet seen before among these poor, overwrought, and overmatched men, either at Schleswig or in this place. Having thu s acqu itt e d myse lf o f my ta ^! : b y giving the news of the day, I hope you will allow me to enter into some retrospective particulars con cerning the retreat from tbeD newerk. As I was for a long time the only English reporter of events on this side of the belligerent wirties, and some of my telegrams have miscarried, and my letters have only very late reached their destination, or not reached it at all, I have been hitherto unable to cor rect several assertions which have found their way into the English through the German press, and which must needs have misled the reading public as to some points of the greatest importance. In the first place, it is not true that it was the achievement of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia, in throwing a bridge across the Schlei, that deter mined the retreat of the Danes from the Dannewcrk. The retreat of the Danes was effected on the even ing of Friday, the sth, at 11, and the bridge across the Schlei was only begun at five o'clock on the fol lowing morning, when not one man on the Danish side remained on the spot to dispute the passage of the fiord. The real motives which led to the backward movement of the Danes are still to a great extent, and will be perhaps for ever, wrapped in mystery. A second assertion, which must be flatly con tradicted, is that of the Danes asking for and ob taing three hours' armistice under pretext of bring• ing in their wounded, and profiting by this respite to steal away from Schleswig. The Austrians left their wounded for two nights on the field at Bustrup, and fired upon the Danes, who were moved by feel ings of humanity to issue faith to the relief of the poor sufferers. That the officers at the outposts may eventually have come to some mutual understanding between them for such a purpose is indeed possible, though nothing whatever is known about it here ; but what is quite certain is that I left Schleswig with the very last troops of the rear at about 11 o'clock on the evening of Friday, and that it was only at 4 in the morning of Saturday that the Austrians, disbelieving for a long time the assertions of some of the Schleswigers as to the evacuation of their town could be at last induced to venture in. It was about that time that the Prince of Prussia, also aware that he would meet with no resistance, threw his bridge over the Schlei at Kappelu. As soon as they obtained possession of Schleswig the Austrians, it is true, set out in pursuit of the slowly retreating Danes, and came up with them at break of day; but it is not true, however, as it has been blazoned forth in all the German papers, that they gave battle to the Danes at Idstedt, and that they defeated them with great slaughter. There was no serious encounter between the two armies before they came to the neighbourhood of Bilskov Kro, or Overso, on the Saturday afternoon the 6th, and there it is not by any means true, as it has been gratui tously asserted, that " the Danes lay in ambush for their foes." The simple fact is, that the Austrians came up somewhat suddenly with the Danish rear, and these, with the resolution of a wild beast at bay, turned round upon their pursuers, and fought them with a valour which cost them much blood, bat covered them with honour. Idstedt, it should be remembered, is at least 12 miles from Overso, and it is impossible the misstatement should be caused by a mere confusion of names. The same may be said of other battles, which, if we believe the fertile imagination of the telegraph. ought to have strewn the whole distance betwocn Schleswig - and Dybbol with dead and wounded. The real truth of the matter is that the Danes re tired in vdrnirable order, consicltring the terrible hardships they had to contend with ; and as the Germans had also their own share of difficulties to overcome, the pursuit was not so fruitful in trophies to their arms as people have been led to believe. A great deal of the materiel of the Danish army, it is true, fell into their hands; but it was not taken by hard fighting. The slipperiness of the roads, the encumbrance of the thoroughfares, and the utter exhaustion of men and beasts compelled the Danes to abandon not a few of their heaviest impediments, among which were some of the 84-pounders which were paraded with so much pomp along the streets of Hamburg. But the field artillery was all brought in safe here, and General Wilster, who had such a chance asa few hours' start on an unencum bered road gave him, conveyed from Frederickstadt to Sonderborg all of his heavy artillery and ammu nition that he deemed to be of use. Whatever judgment men may come to as to the conduct of the Danish Government, and of General de hleza as to the defence of the Dannewerk, there is no doubt the conduct of the army, both during the few days of the conflict and during the 48 hours' awful retreat, was such as only could be expected of one of the most warlike and long-enduring among the European races. THE HALL END EXPLOSION.—Tivo more deaths caused by this explosion, making nine in all, have occurred. The Birmingham Post states that the cause of the accident was a weak spot in the boiler near the blow pipe. The boiler, during the ten years it has been in use, has been frequently and regularly repaired and inspected, but no amount of tapping from the interior, it is said, would have revealed the defect, because the brickwork beneath would deaden the sound. FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT HANLEY.—On Wednesday an explosion of fire-damp took place in Brookhouso pit, Bucknall, the property of Messrs. Pratt and Co. Two men, named John Price, 19, and David Gratton, 30, were instantly killed, and James Roberts, William Aaron, and Samuel Chapman were seriously in jured. The latter were conveyed to the infirmary, and two of them were so seriously hurt that they were not expected to survive. The cause of the explosion is not kno wn ..._. Birmitighani Post.
