PROSPECTUS. The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone tary arrana e rents of the increasing commercial interests of Great Britain and its dependencies. Lord WINCIIILSEA. brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, but it was not seconded. On the motion of Admiral Rots, seconded by Lord COVENTILY, it was resolved—" That in Rule 36 the fine to be inflicted at the discretion of the stewards shall be not ex ceeding 50 soya, instead of 25 soya, as at present. That in Rule 37, after the words 'at the usual place of weighing before the race,' the words under a penalty not exceeding £lo,' shall be added. That in that part of Rule 39 which relates to minor handicaps and 2-yr- old handicaps, Bst 101 shall be substituted for Bst 71b. Admiral Rous's motion for an alteration of Rule 40 was withdrawn. i In founding this unde-taking th e Di rectors have secured the co-operation of an old and highly -respected Discount Firm in London, with whom err ngements have been made for w the transt r of its lucrative business to this corporation, and to of whose partners Join the Direction. It will thus ba manifest that the Dis 'ount Corporation starts with a large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience of Di, ectors whose influence and intelligence are certain to command the confidence of the public. The materi-1 basis of the Corporation will be a large sub veribed Capital, judicially distributed. The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and contlnent,tl trades of the country, and the greatly extending oommerc.al transactions with India and the C .lonies, le .d to the conviction that greater discounting facilities than at pre- Bent exist are required An establishment, which from its ample means will be able to supply such requirements, will no donq be favourably re ceived by the trading community, and will at the same time afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek the permanent investment of their money, and to those who fu M nds.erely desire the tempor ar y emp l oyment of their surplus The known profitable operations of the old private D's. count Firms, and the new Di scoun t C ompanies, give the as aurance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed, Will prove a complete success. The Head Office of the Corporation will be in London. No promotio.i-money* will be given for originating the undertaking, and the preliminary expenses will be strictly confined to such as are indispensable. Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at-theffem orary Offices of ,the umporatien,-er-at ‘-, the Otpewl..ofthe and - Solicitors - but no application will be considered unless a deposit of Zi. per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

In the absence of Mr. Greville, it was moved by the Duke of BEAUFORT, and seconded by Lord COUUTENAY--• " That the rule respecting half-mile races, passed in the First Spring Meeting, on the motion of Lord Glasgow, seconded by Lord Strathmore (see Sheet Calendar, Ne. XIV, p. 64), shall only apply to races to which money is given from the funds of the Jockey Club." After some discussion, the motion was negatived by a large majority, only five members voting for it. _ _ _ William Barton Ford, Esq., public accountant, 28, Bing-st., Cheapside ; Cornelius Nicholson, Esq., Muswell-hiil, N. _ , • - AGENTS IN CALCUTTA. Messrs. Gordon, Stuart, and CO. SECRETARY PRO TEM. • W. C. Laurie, Esq. Objects of the Company.—The objet of the British Indian Tea Company tLimited), is to conduct tea planting in India on an extensive scale, in some of the best localities, on estates where the success of the tea plant has been already established, and where a large extent of existing plantation secures an immediate return, and aff,rds a certain base for further operations. With this view a provisional purchase has been made of eight valuable estates in the tea-producing districts of Assam, Cachar, Syduet, and Darjeeling. The estates comprise 2,000 acres now in plant, 750 acres of which are three years old and upwards. The crop for the current year, included in the purchase, is guaranteed to be fully 160,0001b5., and 500 manilas. otB2.lba. each, .of tea-seed ; next year theerop of tett% guaranteed to be at least 220,0001b5. In addition to the 2,000 acres in plant there are 40,000 acres of uncleared lands, adapted for tea plantations. The lands are held either in fee simple, or under grants from Govern ment under the old rules, fcr 59 years, at mere nominal rents, and convertible into freehold tenure on very easy terms. The price of these estates is £155,600, of which one-half is to be paid in shares of the Company, the remaining half to be paid in cash, by instalments spread over one year. Profits.--The company will commence its operations with 2,000 acres in plant, and a crop as above stated of 160,000.b5. of tea, besides 500 maunds of tea-seed, which is readily sale able at £8 to £lO per maund, if not required for extensions. The profit on the tea and tea seed produced during the cur rent year, calculated at present moderate prices, will suflice to pay at least an eight per cent. dividend on the paid-up capital, and as large areas come into bearing the Company's profits will rapidly increase. The estates have been selected with care by experienced parties, and regard has been had not only to the quality of the soil and its fitness for tea culture, but also to the supply of labour and facilitiesfor transport. In many cases the lands have a valuable river frontage. The average produce of an acre of tea in India, after five years, is from 250 lbs. to 300 lbs. and upwards The average price at which tea of this quality now sells. deducting freight and charges, is Is. 10d. per lb., while cultivation and manu • facture cost only 9d, per lb., and even less, leaving a net an nual profit of from £l3 to £l6 an acre, when the plantation comes into full bearing. Where tea of the usual quality of Indian teas is grown, each acre of jungle, as it is cleared and planted, yields after five years a large annual profit; and whe e extensions proceed in the neighbourhood of an exist ing plantati the expense for buildings and supervision is very slightly increased. 'the growth of tea will be the chief source of profit. The Company will pruuently extend the cultivation, as these operations will greatly augment the value or its uncleared estates. From the letter of the Calcutta correspondent of the "Times,' which appeared in that journal on the 29th June I i st, it will be s en that an immense mid present* itself in India ior the cultivation of tea ; and, hiving regard to the pr esen t and pr .spective val e of the plantations 'transferred to the Company, it is confidently believed that the profits to the shareholders will exceed those realised by the Assam and other Indian Tea Companies. Messrs. E. 11. Higgs, A. D. Macleod, A. S. Campbell, and E. Rushton, the superintendents of the estates, are men of experience in tea planting, and have been selected from per sonal knowledge of their character and capabilities. The plantations are in efficient working order, having coolies boosted on them, and are provided with a full supply of im plements for manufacture. Messrs. Gordon, Stuart, and Co., of Calcutta, who have paid much attention to the cultivation of tea, and have suc cessfully managed other prcperties,will be the agents for the Company in India, under the direction of the Board in London.

The paddlewheel sloop Ardent, which was recently brought to Woolwich from the south-east coast of America, and paid out of commission by Captain Parish, has been surveyed throughout and con- demned as unfit for further service. She yesterday commenced returning her boilers and machinery, preparatory, it is stated, to her being broken up. The gunboat Speedwell, Commander Cottam, commissioned to replace the Recruit (intended for service on the West Coast of Africa, and afterwards condemned), was inspected yesterday. The crew were mustered at the powder buoy at Woolwich, by the Commodore, Sir . Frederick Nicolson. and Commander Luke, superintendent of the Steam , Reserve. The Speedwell afterwards left Woolwich for Greenhithe to adjust compasses for sea. A new class of gunboats now under consideration at the Admiralty, to be built of iron and to be armour-plated, will shortly be commenced to re place the condemned gunboat fleet at Hasler. In these vessels the twin screw principle, well known, and approved by Mr. Reed and the Admiralty Board, will be thoroughly carried out. -- - Open at 8 o'clock.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. fIANTERBURY HALL " GHOST."—In order X..) to gratify the curiosity of nightly-increasing crowds, Mr. C. MORTON has transferred the representation of Pro fessor Pepper and HenryDircks, Esq.'s, world-famed spectral Illusion, "THE GHOST," to the Concert Hall, where a new and elegant stage is erected, affording a more ample view of the Illusion from Stalls, Balcony, and body of the Hall. He has also arranged for Mr. A. Silvester to give (with all that gentleman's latest improvements and effects), REPRESENTATIONS EACH EVENIA G, at half-past Nine o'clock. Despite the rain a large crowd assembled yesterday on the Bury-road, near the town, to witness a match between Captain Machell and Mr. Chadwick, well-known amateurs, to run 100 yards for £5OO, an event which, as the phrase goes, had " excited much interest in sporting circles." As an exhibition of speed it wrs a remarkable one, Cap tain Machell flying from his opponent, and winning by half a-dozen yards ; but the distance was much too short to be any criterion of the staying powers of either. A good deal of money changed hands on the occasion. The more legitimate attraetions of the day commenced with the 500 Sovs. Sweepstakes, a match between Lord Glasgow and Stamford, won very easily by the latter with Onesander. The 100 Sovs. Plates, A.F., brought 11 to the post, and fell easily to the favourite, Revolver; Birthday filly, looking like the winner near the distance, broke down badly upon being pulled up. The non -favourite won in the match, the Marquis of Hastings's Attraction galloping away from Liston without difficulty. Ostentation gratified the fielders by unexpectedly proving the winner of the 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes, for which East Sheen and Norroy were considered, in their turn, certainties. Antoinette added another to the hollow victories of a day not prolific of close contests, by easily placing the 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes for 2-yr-olds to the account of the Lewes stable, the favourite, Wild Huntress, being nowhere in the race, and the 3-yr-old Sweepstakes 'moved the certainty for Dol phin it was maintained to be. Lord Glasgow again was suc cessful in his match with Mr. Ten Broeck, which afforded the nearest thing of tho day, the Miss Sarah colt winning on the post by a head. The old Bretby Stakes, one of the time-honoured Newmarket names, brought only five fillies to the post, the favourite, Isca, landing them for Mr. Cart wright, after a good race with sitter to Mincepie, by a neck.

TEMPORARY OFFICES OF TILE COMPANY. IS, King-street, Cheapside. ABRI DGE This C(Jinpany is establshed for the PROSPECTUS.puose of grantin te mporary loans and adv ances on eligible ships and otherg Marine property, by way o f mortgage or assignment, covered by policies of insurance, and on such other security as may be found desirable. Money will also be received on deposit for stated periods, upon interest to be 'Treed, and will be eemployed in like manner with th e capital, the uncalled por n of which, and the property held on mortgage by the Company, will at all times afford ample security to depo -Bit ors. The estimated value of British vessels mortgaged is up- Wards of five millions sterling. It thus becomes apparent that a wide field exists for a well-established Company of this kind. The want of some ready channel for obtaining loans on MliPping has been so severely felt that the Directors enter with confidenc3 on the prosecution of a class of business hitherto transacted by private individuals with considerable profit. In addition to the profits on capital, which are estimated at from 10 to 15 pe r cent., the Directors have facilities for borrovving at such rates as to yield a surplus profit of 5 to 6 per cent. The detailed prospectus and forms of application for shares Ea the Offices of the Companry. ay be obtained of the Sec etary, Brokers, and Bankers, and Sho,ld the full number or shares applied for be in excess of those at the Directors' disposal, the surplus will be credited to the allotment, or returned at the applicants' option, MARINE IN VESTMENT COMPANY (Limited).

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road, in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail way Terminus, at King's-cross. Patron—The QUEEN. President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves. Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward Mas Lerman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs.

At last the flag was lowered, and the horses got away upon equitable terms, but after running a few strides Lady Louisa took up the running, which she retained for the first 50 yards, when she was pulled hack, and the lead taken by Newmarket, who was never after approached, and won in a canter by a couple of lengths, a length separating second and third; Humphrey Was fourth, close up ; Welland beaten off.

The country continues in a tran quil state, the arrival of the new King being looked forward to with feelings of pleasing expectation and deep interest. Her Majesty's ship Revenge, 73 (bearing the flag of R ear -Ad m i ra l Y e l ver t on , C. 8.), which is to escort the young King from a port in France to his new dominions, does not leave Malta for Toulon until Monday next, the 12th inst. Her orders are to be at Toulon by the 15th, and the King i s not expected there till the 22d or 231. It is re ported that the Orlando, 46, Capt. G. G. Randolph, which left the Piraeu s on the 25th ult. for Corfu, and the West Coast of Greece, will form part of the escort squadron. Th e f o ll ow i ng ships of war are at present at the Piraeus :—English—Marlborough, 121, Capt. C. Fellowes (bearing the flag of Vice- Admiral Smart, K.H.) ; Trafalgar, 70, Captain T.

The Liffey, 35, screw frigate , Capt. G. Parker, was also to winter on some part of that station. The Cossack, 22, Capt. w. R. Rolland, and the Icarus, 11, Commander N. are at pr esent t h ere. Report says S a lmon, V. C., that the Marlborough will shortly return to Malta. The Admiral intends, however, to remain at the Pirmus, and hoist his flag on board the Queen. The th r ee men who perpetrated th e cowardly murder of a marine belonging to her Majesty's gunboat Fox hound some months since are about to be brought to trial before the Criminal Court of Athens, the decision of which will be final. The Trident, 3, iron paddlewheel sloop, Commander C. J.

Hallewell, deputy ! quartermaster-general, Copts, Cochrane, Somerset, Last night a grand civic banquet took place at the Town Hall in this city. Among the guests present were the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, M.P., the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, M.P., Cot. North, M.P., Colonel Pane, M.P., the Recorder of Oxford (the Queen's Ancient Sergeant, Mr. Sergeant Manning), the Vice-Chancellor, the High Sheriff, the Senior Proctor, the Public Orator, the Masters and Provosts of the various Colleges, the Mayors of Abingdon and Woodstock, and a large number of the principal inhabitants of the city. The Town Hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The MAYOR (Mr. Alderman Thompson) occupied the chair. After the various loyal and patriotic toasts had been given and responded to, The MAYOR proposed " The Health of the City Members," which was most cordially received. Mr. CARDWELL, on rising, was received with loud cheers. He said—Mr, Mayor and Gentlemen, I have been accustomed to rise and return thanks for this toast with feelings of gratitude and joy; but I regret to say that to-night those e elings are allied more to sorrow than to joy, when f I refleot on the state of health of my respected colleague Mr. Langston. Your mayor has truly said that he has been faithful to you, and y ou, gentlemen, will be faithful to those who h ave been so faithful, and therefore it is that you testify towards him your sincere respect and cordial regard. (Cheers.) For my own part I esteem the privilege. of representing Oxford in Parliament as the highest honour to which I can aspire, and so long as you extend to me that privilege I will not attempt to repay you in words only for the kindness which you have shown to me. (Cheers.) I hope I shall never sh ow m y se lf unworthy of that steadfastness of principle and conduct which you will naturally expect from any one whom you may select to the high honour of re presenting you in Parliament. (Cheers.) Gentle men, I have the pleasure to-night of sitting by the side of the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, and I need not remind you that in the summer of this year the city was honoured by the visit of the Prince of Wales, and sitting by the side of the Vice Chancel lor I would beg to remind this meeting that upon that occasion I was selected as the recipient of a high honour and mark of favour on the part of the University of Oxford. (Cheers.) That mark of their favour I most highly esteem, and I have taken the liberty to recur to it, not in reference to myself, even to express the gratitude I sincerely feel to the university, but as a proof of the connection which exists between the university and the city. (Cheers.) That connection is extremely valuable, and reflects equal honour upon either party. (Cheers.) It is impossible for us to assemble together as we have done on the present occasion without a feeling of wonder and gratitud e a t th e c i rcumstances in which this great country is now placed. Wo have just gathered in a harvest more bountiful perhaps than any harvest in the experience of my right hon. friend Mr. Henley, large and valuable as that expe rience has been, for he is, I may safely say, one of the most experienced farmers in the county. In the north of England, with which part of the country I am more particularly connected, I am glad to say that those scenes of recurring distress with which it has been visited are now passing away, and that things are more promising than could have been anticipated for the suffering county of Lan ce r tc o r (Hear, hear,) 1, for one, was always B an g this point, and believed that the triial borne which we were passing would ü b i t e a h e rough " t i t ° i n e - a state of with great heroism, and woul d at large, but undiminished prosperity to thc, vo c b a a ' gone through I did not believe that we could ,„ e h a terrible clla. the fiat, and Oven tWO yea_ersased Divine Providence mity as that which it has Pit hat the country would to afflict U 8 With, an d y et co ntrast happy COU t . to almost ev ery presen t such A country in the worio I am sure, then, that I onl y echo the sentiments of this meeting when I say of the British that we canno t contrast the happy position Em pire at the present moment w ith that of other countries without a sincere feeling of gratitude to God for the gre4t blessings which ~.... Vex-eer - r7 eee.nee 4 enjoy. (Cheers.) If we look e 41_ , _ ll east or the west we find an l el ef t ; ...,:;_ narchy and a republic pl un g in g t , e .- • ee se— --e war, which is the worst of wars, _ eeintirs . fraught than any other with public calaMitiee, an" 72. i wherever we turn our eyes upo n the g reat an -1- powerful country of America we see bloodshed in the field ana sort-- -- "- 'earth. Contrast that with the contentment, the tranquillity, and the remark able prosperity which upon the whole exists among ourselves, and above all with that c )rdial and sin cere affection to our institutions, and towards each other, which happily prevails among e 11 classes of the people of this country. (Cheers.) Ido not speak of those slight differences of opinion upon public questions which must necessarily arise among a free people, who are in the habit of discussing openly and fairly all such questions. Such diJe rences of opinion du not disturb the mutual respect and the sincere regard which the various classes of society in this country feel for each other—but I speak of that deep and broad undercurrent of unity on all questions of paramount importance which are essential for the existence of a free, happy, prospe rous, and powerful country. (Cheers.) That pa triotic feeling is manifested upon all occasions in w hich the honour of the cAintry is concerned, and it results in respect for our institutions, and not only in loyalty but iu warm affection, amounting to reverence, towards the person of our Sovereign and her family. We watch with the deepest inte rest every event that tends to augme:it their hap piness, and when , as we have r ea d to-cloy, an occa sion occurs which recalls the los s , the trials, the suffering, and the sorrow of our gracione Queen, the whole nation vibrates with sympathetic feling, and joins in the e xpression of sentiment s a n d loyalty and love. (Hea r .) ,This, then, is the ha E ny condition of our country; we owe it to a ni gbe ,,, power, and it is therefore onr duty net to be found wanting. But considering the advantages and the blessings we enjoy, we ought by the exercise of energy, industry, perseverance, and fidelity to those great principles which should be the rule of every man's conduct, to endeavour to increase those blessings and multiply those advantages for the benefit of the commmunity among wh om we live. I believe that the foundation from which we derive those blessings will be found in the exist ence of our national institutions ; and they, thank God, are in this happy land fixed on so broad and deep a basis that they will survive every storm, and continue to be, as they have ever been, the envy and admiration of every country in the world. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Health of the County Members," observing that the county was singularly happy in having as one of its representa tives the Right Hon. J.W. Henley, who had always commanded the esteem and respect of his fellow countrymen, and who was listened to in the House of Commons with the greatest attention by men of all shades of party, for whatever might be their dif ference of political opinion they all admired the sound commonsense observations of the right hon. gentleman, and were grateful for the light which he invariably threw upon all public questions when under discussion in the house. Col. North had ate 3 proved himselt a faithful representative, and mast now be considered a tried public servant, while their younger hut not less respected member, Col. Fane, had given proof of ability and energy which en titled him to their gratitude and esteem. The toast was most cordially received. Mr. HENLEY assured the company that it always gave him great pleasure to be present at the hospi table gatherings of the municipality of the city of Oxford, and he must express his deep regret at the causes which prevented their esteemed friend, Mr. Langston, from being present, as he had so often. been on former occasions. It was his sincere wish, and in that wish he knew they all cordially joined, thai it might please God to restore his hon. friend to health. (Cheers.) His right hon. friend had been pleased to call him (Mr. Henley) an old agri culturist, and had appealed to him to say whether ' this was not the very best harvest he could recollect. Now, it was quite true he had bran an agriculturist as long as he could remember, and he should con tinue to be one as long as he could do anything. But the very fact of his being an old agriculturist had taught him not to be too confident of any thing, and farmers did not reckon up everything till the end of the year, although they had got in the harvest. Ho believed the recent harvest had been very good—nay, an excellent harvest ; but the right hon. gentleman must excuse him from saying that it was the very best he had ever known. In all that had been said by his right hon. friend with respect to the prosperity of the country he most heartily concurred. They stood, he might say, in broad and open contrast to.almost every nation in the world, and they must be thankful in a becoming spirit to Divine Providence, in order that these great blessings which they now enjoyed might bs continued to them. The present condition of this country certainly afforded a subject of deep congra tulation ; because, let them look where they would, either to the far east or to the west, no man could say whether there was greater prospect of war. Ho hoped that the clouds which now darkened that political horizon might pass away without a storm, and that by the blessing of God peace might be pre served. (Cheers.) Speaking in the presence of one of her Majesty's Government he might be permitted to say that he trusted they would continue to fol low that wise course of policy which they had hitherto adopted, and endeavour to keep the nation clear of any troubles that might hereafter occur in foreign countries. (Hear.) He had no fear but that the honour of the country would be safe in their hands; at the same time, when they saw a prospect of great troubles springing up in other countries, he thought it was not out of place in any publio man to raise a warning voice, and to express a hope that the same care which had hitherto been mani fested in keeping it free from the quarrels of other people, would continue to be exhibited in the pre sent threatening aspect of affairs. Difficulties had sprung up in every direction, but hitherto he was glad to say the course which had been taken by our rulers was such as to place this country in a per fectly impartial position among the contending parties, and he felt disposed to give to the servants of the Queen, whoever they might be, the fullest a support, so long as they continued to the honour and dignity of the country and to avoid an unnecessary interference with . no preserve the affairs of other nations. There could ..ro o ra e all doubt that by so doing they would obtei b l e i ll classes of the people a general support, %Nit' would , otherwise enable them to adopt a course which en ough to they might not find themselves shtrisoee r ight honour take. He could have wished that able friend would have been able day p and ee re hopes of better times.

(Hear, and cheers.) Various other toasts of a local character were given anal responded to, and the proceedings terminated.
