It has 1 3 aid the first year 6 per cent., the second 12 per cent., the 'third 15 per cent., and at the next meeting it is expected it will distribute 25 per cent, Particular attention is called to this point.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of purchas ing- and extending the well known and valuable business. hitherto carried on by private capitalists, under the firm of "The Millwall Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company." 2. The capabilities of the Millwall establishm , nt for the pro duction of every class of iron work are unsurpassed. The engineers' shops are furnished with the most complete mo dern machinery adapted for the construction of marine en gines of high power ; the two foundries, the rolling mills, the smiths' ships, and forges, with eight steam hammers—of sufficient power to execute forgings of the heaviest class — are in percept waking concit ion, including all the latest im provements. 3. These mills an.' forges alone are, from their capacity and efficiency, of great value; and when taken in, conjunction with the ship building yard, present a combination for pro fitable results not existing elsewhere. The rolling mills, which are for the manufacture of plates and angle iron for ship's purposes, and armour plates, are the most powerful in the kingdom, and now stand unsurpassed for the high character of their manufacture, and can produce 1,000 tons per week, including at least 7'..0 tons of finished iron. 4. Upon the ship-building yard, which possesses a frontage to the River Thames of 1,750 feet, there is capaeity for laying down 15,000 tons of shipping. It comprises a new and care fully-piled dock (in which the armour-clad frigate Northum berland, 6,620 tons, is now being c ustructed for her Majesty's Government), with all necessary appliances for shipbuilding. 5. In addition to Ships being constructed for the British Government, the Italian Government, the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, the Intercolonial Roy 4 Mail S' eam Packet Company, the Ottoman Government, and private merchants, twelve screw steamships with their engines are under con tract. 6. The Company has also purchased the Britannia Graving or!Dry Dock. now in efficient working, and the adjoin in g land, called Fergusson'a Mast-pond, containing space for two dry docks of 470 and 350 feet respectively. 7. The operations of the Company will be condirted by Mr. George Harrison. whose great experience and abilities will be devoted exclusively to the interests of this company, and and as the whole of the valuable property has been ceded to the Company upon terms which are considered highly ad vantageous, the result of the undert Acing maybe considered as assured. & In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the de posit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be a lotted Than are applied for, the deposit will be made avai able towards the payment on allotment, and the balance if any. returned to the applicant.

The object of this Company is to promote Financial, Commercial, and Industrial enterprise in India and the East by the application of English capital, for the legiti mate and remunerative employment of which there is ample and constantly extending scope. The success of the operations of the Financial Companies in England has now been satisfactorily proved ; and a similar institution, adapted especially to the requirements of the East, and combining on its direction the needful experience, will have a field for profitable operations equal, if not superior, to any other. The Corporation will act as General Financial Agents, will make advances on approved securities, and will pro mote the development of the internal resources of the countries in which it may operate, by assisting in the establishment of sound industrial undertakings and enter prises. The Corporation will also undertake on commission the investment of funds placed in its hands, either in the pur chase of property, or in lending it out on mortgage and other securities. It will receive deposits at rates to be agreed upon ; and it will take powers to issue bonds or obligations on the security of its mortgages and subscribed capita. The revenue of India has risen in a few years from £26,000,000 to £47,000,000, and the aggregate import and export trade during the same period has more than doubled itself. The increasing development of her natural produc • tions, and the successful cultivation of tea, coffee, and other staple articles, together with the high rates there current for money, compared with those upon which it can be bor rowed in this country, make the opening very favourable for the establishment of a Company of this description. Powers will also be taken to extend the operations of the Corporation elsewhere as may be found expedient. Arrangements are in progress by which the business may be speedily commenced. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be obtained at the Temporary Offices, or of the Brokers or Solicitors. The Memorandum and Articles of Association may be inspected at the Offices of the .`solicitors. In the event of no allotment being le the deposits will he returned without deduction.

The Company wilt have the advantage of borrowing on their debentures, at rates of interest much under the per tentage guaranteed ; and for the present it has been arranged with the vendors that the large; portion of their purchase money shall remain unpaid at 4 per cent. interest. It is a peculiarity attached to land in the City that the ex tent ot business to be conducted in its very limited space is daily increasing. The value of the time of successful traders, and the convenience of particular localities, are found to be of more moment than epsilon of rent. The accommodation allotted to the produce markets in the the neighbourhood of these properties has within the last few years been doubled,yet the scale ot rent has increased in a greater degree, and th?Te seems every reason to anticipate that the demand for first-class offices in these localities will continue to be in advano cf t supply. Eight thousand shares are subscribed for, the remaining twelve thousand are offe7ed to the public. In case ot no allotment the deposit will be returned. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

China is the only large c untry in the c . vilised world which has no oirmt bank in London operating solely for its benefit ; and it is obvious that a vast fertile re.glon, inhabited by 300 millions of intelligent people, who carry on an enormous in ternal trade by means of native joint-stock and private banks of issues, and who have an extensive and increasing com mercial intercourse with Europe, India, America, and Australia, must present a lucrative field for monetary ope rations. Great Britain imports from China and ;Tamil (via China' upwards of 7,000,0001 b. of silk and about 120,u0),00J1b. of tea. The rapid increase of trade is thus shown : Imports Exports to Total trade be- Years. of China China of British twem ('hi a and Produce. litanuf actures. United Kingdom. £960,181 .... £4,925,671 1862.... 11 376,150 .. 5.310,036 .... 16,694,186 The commerce between India and China has increased during the p ist 20 years from three to 15 millions sterling. The port of Shan hai alo m exhibits an extraordinary de velopment. In 1842 it had no European trade; in 1852 the va ue of its exports was £14,667,466, its imports £22,863,953 total, £37,531,419. The balance of Trade with China is paid in bullion —chiefly silver—of which the export value was, in 183!, £102,316; in 1862, .£3 4 , 8 397. Cotton is now becoming a large item of trade; during the last six mont s of 1833 more than 20,000,0001 b. were exported. The Imperial Bank of China has therefore been formed to supply un acknowledged want on the plan which has been so successfully carried out in London by the bank s for India and other similar institutions, the success of which the following table will exemplify, and it is believed at least equal success will mark the progress of this bank : Paid up Present Name of'Bank. per Price per Share. Share. Agra and United Service . Chartered Mercantile of India, London, j 25 and China Bin lustan, China, and Japan Oriental The Imperial 13 4nk of China will transact all operations connected with those of a bank of issue, deposit, discount, and exchange. The directing and controllin authority will be in London. g Branch Banks, with boards of local directors, will be formed at Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, Foochow, Tientsin, Pekin, and at such other cities as may from time to time be deemed advisable. Thc branches will be under the control of the Lon don board, aided by the supervision of an inspector-general, as in the case with the Indian and Colonial ranks, and the authorisation of the Government of Pekin has been solicited to allow the specie notes of the Imperial Bank of China to be received in payment of custom duties and at the tax offices throughout the empire, an offici 41 corres ;ondence now being carried on by the Bank with Pekin for that object ; and as the Pekin Government will not trust the native local banks, it is believed this Bank will become to the Government of China what the Imperial Ottoman Bank is to that of Turkey. The desire on the part of the Government of China fo7 railways and telegraphic communication will render neces sary, extensive financial operations, which the Imperial Bank of• China will be pecupiarly favourably situated to un dertake. Applications for shares to be made in the annexed form. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Should a , ess number of shares be al otted than are applied for, the deposit will be made avail able towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

The groat Trunk Railway from Vien na, in the direction of I the frontier of Moldav ia, is a t pr esent complete as far as L e mberg. The common cation is effect ed b y means of two lines. The first being the Northern Railway, from Vienna to Cracow; the secon d, the Carl - L udwi g Rahway, from CracJw to Lemberg,. The first of these lines pays about 14 p er cent. upon its capital. The second was completed only at the end of 1861. but since its opening has paid 8 per cent. upon its capital, and consequently has never required to claim the guarantee of 5 per cent. accorded to it by the Austrian Government. The present line is the continuation from Lemberg to Czernowilz, near the Moldavian frontier. The concession has been granted by the Austrian Government on terms un usually favourable to the company undertaking it. The proposed railway, enter 1:7,r into the heart of the grain and cattle-producing; district whence the Carl-Ludwig line obtains its most important traffic, and being constructed at a very considerably less cost, promises to be more profitable than its neighbour. The continuance of the line through Mo . davia to Galatz, on the Danube for which a concession has recently been granted by the Chambers of the Principalities), must neces sarily add larizely to the profits of the Lemberg-Czernowitz Railway, which will thus form an integral cart in an un broken and direct railway communication between the Baltic, the German Ocean, and the Black Sea. The concession, the duration of which is ninety years, sti pulates for the commene merit of the works previous to the 11th January, 1165, and for their comp'etion within three years ; but provision is made inr extension cf these periods in eve of political or fiqancial crisis. The Government guarantee a fixed sum of ZILO,OOO in silver money as a net annual revenue of the line. The sum thus guaranteed by the Government, after pro viding for the payment of interest at 5 per cent. on the ponds, and for an annual sinking f und, will leave a clear 7 per cent. applicable to the share c ap i tal. The sinki , .g fund will be annually applied by lot to the redemption of the Bonds and Shares at par. The p r oprietors of the Shares thus, from time to time, redeem ed will, for each share, receive a certifi catea participation, during the re , in all the profits of the Com pany e ci e n nox t gcn i ct i ter l ce i ar n dei n g ti 7 gew t f l 15 1 it e ihpc heer ewiltec bearer enneet" tbso ono onthe original capital. been entered into by the concessionaires with Mr. Brassey for a sum of £ 2 , 450,000. This contract provides for the construction of the rai'way in accordance with t he terms o f the concession, and for stock ing the same with rAling stock. I t includes all the preli minary expenses of acquiring the conces s io n and forming tne Company ; it makes provision for interest during con struction on paid•up capital at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum ; and it covers an ample reserve for the expenses of management until the railway shall be opened for public traffic. The concession confer s the requisite power to form a So ciete Anonyme with S hares to be arer, whereby the liability of the subscriber will be limited t o the amount of 25 per cent of the nominal amount of their Shares. The oie will be £2,450,000; to be Societein Bonds, A and n Y ni £1,250,0C0 in Shares of The Bonds have already been taken . Preparatory to the formation of the Societe Anonyme (which cannot be defini tivel y cons tituted according to Aus trian law until 25 per cent. of the share capital has been paid Lu e n o l! up), the Lemberg,-Czernow itz Railway Company has been formed as a limited liability com pany, the shares in which will be exchanged for Shares of a like denomination in the Societe Anonyme. 1 1,0 f the concession, and of the statutes under which it s Proposed to constitute the Societe Anonyme, can be inspected at the Offices of the Soli !oar of the Anglo-Aus citors, 46, Parliament-stre t.

PROSPECTIVE CHANGES IN COSTUME.—TIIO Court Journal says ;—We were the first to men. tion, some months ago, that the evening costume for gen tlemen was about to be altered, and that the Prince of Wales would support the movement. The last Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV., introduced a dress blue coat, lined with buff, a velvet collar, with a Royal button, which was borne by all the elate of London. And there can be no doubt that the newly suggested costume—velvet tunic, velvet knickerbockers, silk stockings, and shoes— would be a wonderful improvement upon the present even ing dress,which is also worn by the "greengrocer," waiter, and the highest noble in the land. It would not only mark the distiaction, but it would give an impetus to trade. Some years ago a gentleman's morning and evening dress was expensive. It consisted of coats lined with fur in winter, and faced with velvet in spring, summer, and autumn; leather pantaloons and hessian boots were worn, and beaver hats were in fashion. In an evening, short net or kerseymere inexpressibles, silk stockings, silk or satin waistcoats, and cocks hats were in vague. In the present day, gossamer silk hats, wide-awakes, tweed trou sers, light paletots, aro the fashion for morning attire; while loose trousers, plain coats, and boots form the even ing costume. We hope, too, and believe, that a change will take place in the Court dress, and that the old fashioned suit will be replaced by a more becoming one. DOCTORS AND PATIENTS.—Among the curious calculations that may be founded upon the census returns hero is one made by Dr. Farr. It is reckoned that for every death in a year there are constantly two persons ill in the year ; and, so reckoning, the census . returns of ISSI and 1861 and the mortality returns of the intervening years of g g ea neer i hntwydona awiaunadnilmtbal.ratoi—tsstt3rehia; Wales uding years give the following results: In all England an . u 4 nd p e e r rs t o h ns is l c a o s n t s t t e an zm tly no s t ic o k ni t y o pohnyeeimcieadnsicalanmd man, including prac atirtaioanbeorvs,e butassistants y a e l a s r o s s o u f c a h ge.

The calculation shows one medical man to every 1,071 persons in England and Wales ; but, the numbers differ so greatly in different parts of the kingdom that in London the medical men are one to every 514 persons, and in Monmouthshire and Wales only one to every 1,769. The number profession n does Englandn ot appear under 1851, and only 9,910 in Cai l nsal B g G eb l npe , deeanr W r 88 analysed, o no i t fa w r p e i rl p losp d to the fortunes m o t i f oen Bd t c i fa s olr p m r l o eBn f s e B s d, s i i ew o d n h, , i el t he h a e lly to pass to survivors ; and therefore the number who left y no personal property cannot have been considerable.

DOG SHOWS AT THE AGRICULTURAL HALL.—A memorial has been presented from certain of the in habitants of St. Mary's parish, Islington, to Sir George Grey, on the subject of the proposed dog show at the Islington Agri cu lt ura l H all. The memorialists complain that during nine days and night s i n M a y, 1863, they and their families w e r e su bj ected to the annoyance ar i si ng from the incessant barking and howling of the couple of thou sand dogs confined in the building; and they are conse quently much ala rme d at t h e announ c e ment that a similar annoyance is likely t o b e i n fli c t e d upon them in May next. Sir George Grey has informed the memorialists that, although granting their case to be a hard one, he cannot interfere. He however, recommends them to apply for an injunction to the Court of Chancery. AT POMPEII five new rooms have been brought to light not far from the Forum. In one of them a great many pieces of bread wrapped up in napkins h ave b een found, m os t of tho napkins being still in good preservation. Amongst (Allor articles found there was a beautiful little seal, with the syllables ANI. Ito, engraved upon it. M. Fioretti considers them the abbreviation of a proper name, Anicetus ifodestus. M. Felix Patiglione has undertaken the task of constructing a model of Pompeii in cork, and 11111 -
