The leading financial establishments in Par ' ..ii are the Credit - Mobilier and the Credit Fonder; both of which have stood the test of experience, and have realiP ...e d very large profits for their shareholders—the transacts --- -c .ms of the Credit Foncier being based upon the Land Credit system, whilst the Credit Mobilier embraces general Fin:ancial business. The wisdom of this divas' on of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Mb - acier for Great Britain and Ireland. which, since its establ, : shment, has found the offers of busi ness, both of a Lang? Credit as well as of a general Financial character, so lax. , e, 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 jects, canne;, legitimately carry out. The pri.oeipal objects of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), are as follo'NA, VIZ. : To e,o-operate with other first-class Financial and Indus trial undertaking s. To negotiate Government and Municipal Loans. Te, aid in carrying out concessions, bated upon Govern nwat guarantees and subventions. *To make advances to responsible contractors for English stnd foreign railways, and other public works. To lend on the security of stocks, funds, shares, deben tures and other approved securities, with special reference to the requiremeets of the Stock Exchange. The Credit Mobilier (Limited) will also receive money on deposit for long or short per.ods.

The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the well-known and successt ul business carried on by the Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company ( I, !.mited), at Black wall. The Thames Iron Works and ". chip-building Company (Limited), was established in the year 1857, and has now attained the foremost nosi_': s ton in the construction of vessels of war and ships of t ,,e highest class for the commercial marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour plates, is manu' . .etured on the premises, together with forg - - ings and castings of the largest class for marine engines, bridges, a r .d other similar works. The rolling mills, steam hammer s, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, &.c., are all of the I ),"est class and in the highest state 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 Compiny 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 Corn rany, 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 engaaements, as from the lst 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 Company 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 acres of freehold land 03 the Essex side of the River I.ea, next Black wall, and the premises and branch works known as the Phcenix Iron Works, Millwall, together with the valuable plant and works. It is proposed to construct two graving docks capablr of re ceiving ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda tion on the River Thames is at present insufficient. For this purpose it is intended to purchase eight acres of freeho'd Land immediately adjoining the works, having a frontage both to Bow Creek and ti,e River Thames, which 1 , nd is, at pre sent, in the occupation of the Company, with the option of purchalnk The proposed new graving docks will be in the immediate vicinity of the E tat and West India and Victoria Docks ; and it is confidently anticipated that from their admirable situa tiono constant and remunerative employment for re p airs, b_9l of ship s and ennes, wi 1 be found. existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com pany, which will be transferred to the new Company. amount uPwards of or t h e a million and a quarter sterliegtindef endently workbeen in hand for the forge and rolling mill{), and have nit li on ot tl u t l al, en on such terms as fairly to justify the anticipa tended thee!ame T millet)! e results .which have already at- All th e D ' i l . e orepany's operations. in terest in the ector, of the old Company will retain their in the ne iv Company, and their seats at. its Board, and which have management wl 1 remain in the same experienced hands_ hitherto it to its present stat e conducted it so successfully, and ratted Applications f or s e "Prosperity. in the event of no all hare. to be male in the annexed form.. will be otment Sh 're+ being made, the de ,jhares lie &lotted returned in full.

The Loan MAYOR, 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. He 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 ho also handed in their replies. Tho 10 , A:omit:it 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 Walea were also read by the Rlioottintit, and were as follows : "My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,—l thank you sincerely for your congratulations on the birth of a Prince and the Princess's recovery. I ant deeply sensible of the feeling which prompts your hope that the virtues of her Majesty and of my late lamented father may descend 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. 4. 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 tho 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 bo 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 Ito) 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 security 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 hi e s illustrious parents, and that your M a j est y may Land hie delight of seeing in him the growt h of the virtues which adorned the life and have endeared the memory of yourßo):,sl Consort, is the earnest prayer of the citizens of Lo n don. The addresses to their Royal Highn esses 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 PRICF STAMPED ....sd. offer to your Royal Highness their heartfelt congratula tions on the safe delivery of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and on the birth of a Royal Prince. Living, as it is our happ iness to live under the beneficial rule of our gracious t-overeign, wo cannot but i n d u l ge the hope that the people of this country may witness in suc cessive generations of her descendants the virtues by which her Majesty and her late Royal Consort have been dis tinguished. Wo 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 read a second time, and 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 Hatten-garden was too wide, and he proposed that it should be only 70 feet, which ho said would make a reduction of some £15,000 iL the expenses, and he proposed r;:nendment to that effect, any also that the width of the ot h er 5 t r ,,, , 40 should be left an open question. The am „d ti Lent was, however, lost. Ono or two other slight alterations were pi:Vesed, but the report was eventually Agreed to, and referred back to the committee for execution. THE PROPOSED RAILWAYS IN TILE CITV. 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 aro likely seriously to affect the inte rests of this city by the disfigurement of the streets, the un duo 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. ,!,-,s i - ---v - Asi r• - e ; i ' `'' ~, mere reconnaissance in force on the,vart of the, ;, 4o Prussians. The Danes had only tviejegiments , :.. ,f eng aged at the beginning of the fray‘,a,but ono off-t i'l them, the 22d, lost no less than 100 officers i all. men dead and wounded. The losses of t h e tith e " -7 regiment, the 18th, were hardly lee 3 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 te-morrow with an ardour which I have not yet se;:n before among these poor, overwrought, and overmatched men, either at Schleswig or in this place. likvini.7 thus acquitted myself of my task by giving the news of the day, I hope yea will al:ow me to enter into some retrospective F.:eieulars eon cernim; the retreat from the Dinnewerk. As I was for a long time the only English reporter of events on this side of the belligerent parties, and some of my telegrams have miscarried, and my letters have ,„1 3 , ve ry late reached their destination, or nut 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 Dannewerk. 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 aide 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 bo perhaps for over, 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 forth 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, the ugh nothing whatever is known about it here ; bnt what io quite certain is that I left Schleswig with thp very iast troops of the rear at about 11 o'clock on the evenia.:g 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, throw his bridge over the Schlei at liappelu. As soon as they obtained possession of Schleswig the Austrians, it is true, set out in purauit 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 camo to the neighbourhood of Bilskov Kro, or Overso, on the Saturday afternoon thefith, 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, but covered them with honour. Idstedt, it should be remembered, is at least 12 miics from ()verso, 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 fettile lull:intim of the telegraph. ought to have strewn the whole distance between Schleswig and Dybbol with dead and wounded. The real truth of the matter is that the Danes re tired in admirable order, considering the terrible hardships they had to contend with ; and as the Germans hsd 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 I)9.:iit•:h army, it is true, tell 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 Wilstar, who had s :leli a chance asa few hours' start on an unencum ber„' road gave him, conveyed from Frederickstadt to Sondei iborg all of his heavy artillery and ammu nition that ht, deemed to be of use. Whatever judgznent men may come to as to the conduct of the Danis Government, and of General do Meza as to the defence of the ,theDannowerk ne is no doubt the conduct of the army, both dg the few days of the conflict and during the 48 hours' awful retreat, was such as only could bo expected of ono of the most warlike and long-enduring among the European races. THE HALL END EXPLOSION.—Two more deaths caused by this explosion, making nine in all, have occurred. Tho iiiiminghant 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 t has been frequently and regalarly repaired and inspected, but no amount of tapping from tiie interior, it is said, would have revealed the detect, because the brickwork beneath would deaden the sound.

Three. quarters of a mile from West End headed Real Jam, but the latter resumed the lead in a few strides, and came over the third last flight of hurdles with a clear lead.

Rounding the turn into tho straight, West End was again called upon to take the lead, and ho either emoted his legs, or was tripped up by getting his foot in a hold, for he suddoaly came down, and David Ann being in his track also came down " a cracker," and the two jockeys being hurled from their horses, remained upon the ground some time. 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.

DANISH HEADQUAItTEItS, SONDERBORG, FEB. 22. There was an alarm here this morning at half-past 0 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 merched beneath our windows, almost inaudible, on 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 muffitd rolling of cannon and waggons, the stir of thousand of men, noiseless and ominous. We walked down the town to the orniges, crossed over to the tete-de-pont, and toiled up the slippery ascent leading to the top of Dybbol-hill, Same score of wounded men and officers passed us, on their way to the town hospital or " hazaret," con veyed on stretchers, or in rough country carts, which jolted them dreadfully. I do not know what impression their wan co untenances, their haggard eyes, in some instances swimming in death, their hands pres,sed on their bleeding chests, and their dumb look of n ; oily wrought on the fine fellows raced along with us outward who tramped or „,:ombAtants the sight was bound ; but to us non moved on with their heartrending. The tr oo p s the notes of their wonted steady look, nevert heless, ; )itch, and the martial air swelling up to t he hi g hest ranks were only moment aril y broken as so:°°f the soldiers halted and addressed now this now the: 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-build to the Alsund, there lies the position of Dybbol, ten bastions in a row, presenting about 100 cannon on a lino 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 sumo kind in this country, a cluster of largo 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 bo 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 r oad near Nybol, and on the isthmus of the small peninsula on the shore of the Vemming-bund. The inhabitants uf Dybbol, as a matter of course , have all long eloce deserted their houses, a great many of which have already been demolished, and either deaignci or ac cidentally burnt to the ground fate which has equeliy befallen the greater number of the scatter e d country houses for mi les round. Even as 1 came home at 7 o'clock last evening, after a long ride, my eyes were saddened by a red glare which told us too plainly of some dreadful conflagration precisely i n the direction of this snmv village of Dybbol. Well, the village of Dybbol had been occupied by the Prussians, and tt.e Danish outposts had been driven in just as we reached the summit of Dybbol hill, at half-past 9. But by this time the bastions ne.irer to the village, Nos. 6 an d 8, p l ace d a t h ar dly min.'s a no'm distance from the first houses, opened Buell a well-sustained fire upon the Prussians that these,after feebly answering with their field a rtillery, began to fall hack to the woods, and were soon hidden from vi ew . Th e w h o l e o f th e Danish army 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 NEW NOVEL, Edited by WILLIAM HOWITT.
