Temporary Offices—London Financial Association (Limited), No. 1, Threadneedle-street. The London Financial Association (Limited) invite sub scriptions for the Capital Stock of the British and Californian Banking Company (Limited). This Bank is established to supply those facilities which the g. eat ant increasing trade of California imperatively re quires. It is remarkable than, while British capital has been seeking investment in joint-stock banking operations in every part or the world. California has been hitherto over looked. This omission has excited no little surprise on the part of the merchants and traders of that State, and the esta blishment of this Bank will be eagerly hailed by them. The following facts show how large a field of operations will be open to this Institution. The yield of the gold fields is above £8,000,000 per annum, and is steadily increasing. Silver mines discovered about four years ago in the new ter ritor: of Nevada are now producing £200,000 sterling per month. Great progress has been made in agriculture, and instead of importing grain, as the gold colonies of Australia do, California exports largely. The population of the State exceeds 500,000, exclusive of the Chinese and Indians, and Is on the increase. The Great Pacific Railway, for uniting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, is now under construction. When completed, it will take only six days to convey rassengers and goods from New York to San Francisco, and the latter place will then become an important depot for the trade to China, Japan, and other parts of the East. For the purpose of com munication, California is already brought by telegraph within ten days of Europe. There is tri-monthly steam communication between Cali fornia and the Eastern States, and Europe, via Panama, and bi-monthly between San Francisco and the British colonies to the north. The direct trade between England and Cali fornia, and between the colonies and California, is rapidly increasing; and a large proportion of the precious metals is being sent to London instead of, as formerly, to New York. he facilities for discounting commercial paper, and for deposits, are at present very deficient, contrasting remarkably with those in the Atlantic States, in India, China, Australia, and other British possessions. The rate of discount ranges from 1 to 2 per cent. per month, and the exchange business is capable of great develor ment. The business of the Bank will include advances on ship ments of gold, silver, and other produce of the country, the purchase of bullion, the viscount of commercial bills, ad vances for a limited period on available securities and mer chandise, letters of credit, and all other usual banking operations. Applications for shares must be made in the subjoined form, which may be obtained at the offices of the London Financial Association (Limited), of the brokers, or of the bankers.

This Company is formed, not for the purpose of establish ing a new Marine Insurance Office in rivalry with offices already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool. Mr. Case's services, as underwriter, have been secured upon terms satisfactory to the Directors, dependent in part upon the success of the Company, and without the payment of any "promotion money," either in cash or shares. It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al ready possessed by Messrs. Price and Co. will be retained and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be g athered from the present value of their Shares in the market, viz.:— Amount Present Equal paid. price. to The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 per cent pm. The British and Foreign 2 415 0 137 „ The Union 2 51 3 156 „ The Empire The Albion .. The Mercantile The strictest economy will be exeroised in working, and the preliminary expenses will consist solely of the actual neces sary disbursements and legal charges. Applications for Shares must be accompanied by a payment of Li per share, which will be retained on account of the full payment of £2 per share on the number of shares which may be allotted to the applicant, and will be liable to forfeiture if payment of the remaining £1 per share be not made at the time to be stated in the notice of allotment. Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the brokers, and also at the temporary offices of the Company, 4 and 5, Brown's-building's, Liverpool. In eases where no allotments are made, the deposit will be returned without deduction. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. T.: be retained by the Bankers. The Maritime Insurance Company (Limited).

The whole of the country between Frede ricksburg and Hollnstedt on the western end of the Dannewerk is now a flooded swamp. Behind the Dannewerk, from Schleswig to Hollingsted a rail way had been projected; but the news I sent you from Copenhagen that this railway had been pushed on with such vigour that two-thirds of the work were ready proves, on the spot, to have been pre mature; the railway is as yet in a very backward state. Were it complete, it would have the power of actually doubling the Danish forces by enabling them to gather in large masses on any threatened locality, but the long frost which fatally retarded all the labours of the Danes in the trenches, Equally interfered with the laying of the rails ; and the movements of the army are as yet by no means aided by this contrivance. I left Copenhagen in a tolerably sharp frost on Monday evening, but found a thaw and a fog at Sonderburg when I landed on the following morning. The weather has been boisterous, but not cold, the whole of Tuesday, and it rained, or rather drizzled, in the evening when I arrived, as it still does. The thaw we had for the last eight or nine days has not been as active in the service of the Danes as I believed. The ice in the narrow or shallow waters had no time to break up, and the rain which fell upon it again froze upon it, making with it a compact mass over which on many points it is still possible for the Austro-Prussians to march.

They have not ono rifled cannon in their whole line, and they actually had this morning no more than 100 charges for each of their guns on the Missunde forts. Great efforts are being made at the moment I am writing to send large loads of amunition to that place, to be ready for the expected attack of this morning. Were all these advantages not sufficient, the Danes have besides to contend with the evil spirit of the German population of South Schleswig, many of whom v4unteer their services to their fancied Austro-Prussian liberators as. spies. A flank move ment projected against the assailants of Missunde yesterday morning failed owing to the timely in formation the country people gave to the Germans of the well•combined march of the Danes. Schles wig itself, the Danish head-quarters, is almost alto gether German by language, and is what is here called "Deutsch•Gesinnt."

Against all this variety of evils the Danes have nothing to oppose but their undaunted valour and the confidence of ultimate success. They see that they are left alone in the fight, and they know that the world is only likely to help them to the extent of the power they may have to help themselves. It re quires no trfling heroism to keep up the morale of an army against the consciousness of such an unexampled inferiority in numbers, 20 to 1, which are the odds in the present contest. As far as I have had time to see yet, the troops which I met all along my line of march are made of the very best soldierly stuff. Tall, strong built, earnest, somewhat phlegmatic, they are men seem ingly disposed to do their duty, evincing no elation or enthusiasm, but perfectly in the hand of those who have charge of them. They are well armed, excellently equipped, well protected from the incle mencies of the season, and supplied with all that may be desirable for a winter campaign. There is a certain heaviness—l might almost say awkward• news—in their movements, probably owing to the fact that they are for the most part recruits just called out from the reserve, and taken from the pursuit of their peaceful avocations. Probably my eyes, accustomed to the alacrity of the movements of French, Italian, Prussian, and American troops, are more unfavourably impressed by their Northern school of drill than might be the case with any one having only the experience of British troops.

A large force of Germans, chiefly Austrians, attacked the outposts of Bustrup, about one mile and a half from this place. After the csahrt cs 6 htmauutty, uu Tutinatsy, tlav Thatioo osrpcotrui a second attack yesterday morning, and were out on their lines full two hours before daylight in a cold, pitiless rain. The whole of the wet, sad morn ing passed off quietly nevertheless, and just as some of the drenched officers rode in between 2 and 3 for a hasty meal the sky cleared, and immediately the din of battle began. And there was " mounting in hot haste," galloping of orderlies to and fro, march. ing infantry, trotting dragoons, rattling carts—all that hurry-scurry which is most marvellous order and method to the initiated eye. As I walked leisurely pad Castle Gottorp towards the suburb of Fredericksburg, a group of officers passed me, and the personage at their head was pointed out to me as King Christian IX., King of Denmark, a spare thin figure, in the unform of a general officer. I had onlp a side view of him and a hurried one. I saw a middle-aged man, a very little above;the middle size, with brown hair, light beard, a thin somewhat sharp, ,yet benevolent, distingue face. He had three or four aides-decamp with him, his " Hof-Marshal," as they called; him, and behind him trudged, rather, heavily, his Excellency Bishop Monrad, the President of the Council of Ministers—the only man in plain clothes. The Royal party, ourselves, and a few of the idlers about town, went as far as the barrier of Fredericksburg, an elevated spot, whence—nothing could be seen. The sound of cannon and rifle was, however, clearly distinct, not only to us, but to the whole town, which shook with it. All along the road strong pickets of infantry were drawn up in reserve. Squads of ambulance men bearing long poles went forward on their melancholy errand, singing and rollicking, the wretches"as merry as undertakers,' while the :really fighting men maintained a quiet demeanour, resolute, but silent ; heedless of danger, but not unaware of it. Soldiers get used to stand ,with to be shot at, I believe, but the best of them don't like it. The day came to an early close, howeve r , the firing slackened between 5 and 6 till it came to that a sullen grumbling end before we had r eached our about bA u o a lu r l tt thatetr h s e for wfige ht couldht e w n a i ni g ht. learn ht tolerable distinctness the Austrians h a d . pushed very boldly between the trenches of the B u l stru outposts, and the Danes had gallantly stood their ground, till n ight parted the combatants. The affair was not very serious. PROPOSED INTERIOR DECORATION OP ST. PAUL'S C A THEDRAL.—The proposal for completing and adorning the Cathedral is at present limited to tho choir. Six of the windows will be filled with stained glass, executed either at Munich or at Glasgow, from the designs of Schnorr, in illustration of the 12th verse of the Litany : the Agony, the Cross, Death, the Grave, the Resurrection, and Pentecost. It has been determined to employ mosaic as being the most suitable material for the decoration of the wall spaces usually appropriated to frescoes ; and the three compartments over the windows in the apse net will con tain mosaic pictures of our Lord, Moses, and Elijah, executed from the Baron de Triquett's designs, which were approved last year by the general committee, under whose direction] the works in progress are carried on. The decoration of the choir has been given up to M. de Triquetti, who has also made designs for the intaglios below the east windows. To the preference given to this artist's designs we will not at present advert, except to remark that the reasons assigned for preferring them to those of Messrs. Watts and Leighton were, that, though inferior in artistic merit and more feeble in character, they were eminently fitted for execution in the intended material. Coloured marbles will be introduced in the panels, and the intermediate spaces filled by mosaics. Generally, the effect will be a glorious combination of coloured marbles, mosaic, and gilding, yet without con fusion, because subject to a carefully-matured design ; the decoration of the vaulted roof is Mr. Penrose's own work; and the effect of it, as seen in the mode], is extremely beautiful.

The progress of Mauritius, as the chief seat of the produc tion of sugar by free labour, has been such as to create a large and valuable landed property, which affords an excel lent field for the operation of a Land Mortgage Bank or Credit Fonder. The following table of the exports of sugar from Mauritius gives the best prof of this progress, and shows how firmly the prosperity of the colony is now established : Tons. 1850 1851 1852 1853 1854 85,011 1855 1856 1857 1858 1859 1860 The crop of 1861, owing to a hurricane, only produced 108,000 tons, but that of 1862 reached 160,000 tons, This production tends every year to increase with the faci lities of obtaining labour from India, with extended cultiva tion and irrigation, and with the establishment of railroads, which are in course of execution, and will be partially open to traffic in the early part of this year. At the present rate of production the annual value of the sugar crop may be taken at £3,001,000, and the fee-simple value of the sugar e states at £6,000,000 ; in addition to whbh there is a large amount of real property in lands, houses, and other forms. There is also great scope for useful outlay of capital in im provements on estates, by erecting new machinery, clearing waste lands, and irrigating. The rate of interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal to 10 per cent. per annum, or 8 per cent. interest, with 2 per cent. commission, would be readily paid on loans redeemable by annuities, and with a security never less than double the advance. It is estimated that a sum of £2,000,000 might be safely in vested at this rate. Supposing £1,000,000 only to be invested at a difference of 4 per cent. between the rate paid upon bonds in England and received in Mauritius, it is evident that the profit on the paid-up portion of the share capital, which would not exceed £lOO,OOO or £150.000. would be very large. The remainder of the share capital of £600,000, together with the amount of first mortgages on first-class real pro perty, which would always equal the amount of bonds issued, would thus give these bonds an unexceptionable security. The legislation of Mauritius affords great advantages for the establishment of a Credit Fonder, It is the same as that of the French Code Civil, and a law providing a simple and effective registration of all mortgages has just been passed for the express purpose of facilitating the establishment of Computes to lend upon land. Under these circumstances an application has been made to the Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank of India, on be halt of a large number of the principal members of the Legis lative Council and Landed Proprietors of Mauritius, to esta blish a branch there. The Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank were of opinion that Mauritius promised an excellent field of operations, but as the nature of the properties and tenures of land are diffe rent from those of India, to which the original subscriptions of their Bank were invited, it was thought better to raise a separate capital and constitute a new Company, which, while connected with the Mortgage Bank by friendly relations, should yet be a distinct institution. The close connection between Mauritius and India renders this alliance peculiarly desirable, and will be the means of securing valuable busi ness to the new Company, while the expenses of in office and establishment in London will be diminished by mutually advantageous arrangemen to. A deposit of £2 is payable on allotment, and calls by in stalments up to XlO per share will be made, after which it is , intended to _issue Bonds. The Articles of Association lie at the offices of the Solici tors for inspection. Applications may be made in the annexed form, addressed to the Offices of the Land Mortgage Bank of India (Limited), Change-alley, or to the Brokers. FOR3I OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

I left Copenhagen only on Monday evening, and arrived here after 24 hours' journey, to find that I was one day too late to witness the first outbreak of 4.".114:.... X t....alusca •• courtesy and cordiality which, I am sure, would have been nothing surprising under any circum- stances among officers belonging to the Danish people, but which may be to some extent, in my case, prompted by their desire to evince , their grati tude for the sympathy with their cause entertained - - as they believe by the generality of the English natiorr. The King has been here since Monday, at 3 in he afternoon, and resides at the Castle of Gottorp. Bishop Monrad, his Prime Minister, is with him. The head-quarters are in Bjelke's palace, the pro perty of Duke Charles of Glucksburg. The Com mander-in• Chief, General de Meza, lives close by, in what is called the Prince's Palace. Every house in the town is, of course, swarming with officers, and all hopes for your correspondent to sleep other- wise than in his blanket are for the present very faint indeed, as the good Madame Esselbach, the landlady of the Hotel Stadt-Hamburg, where I am writing, has herself no place where to lay her head. The position of the Danish army, even by the account of its leaders, is far indeed, from reassuring. A variety of circumstances contributed to bring the Danes into the field unprepared ; they avow that they have not 50,000 men in their lines ; how much less than that they really may have I did not inquire ; had I been told I should not consider my self authorised to state it. The line they defend is altogether too long. The central stronghold of the Dannewerk is, as I told you, more than three Danish miles (13k English) in length. Its forts exceed 25 in number. They have, besides their left wing on the Schlei,24 English miles,and the whole extent between the Dannewerk and Frederickstad ton the right fully as long. The Austro-Prussians made their first onset yesterday (Tuesday), at Missunde, and this would seem, for the present, their deliberate point of attack. They came up from Kiel to Eckernforde, the Danes I falling back before them as the enemy advanced and taking up their positions at Holm, Kosel, Ornum, and other villages constituting the outposts of Mis sunde. Missundo commands the pass on the nar rowest point of the Schlei, and consists of a group of forts, four or five in number, rising on both sides of the water. The Danes had no more than a regi ment and a half on the spot, a force of about 2,000 men, under Lieut.-General Gerlach, who commands the first division on this side. The engagemEnt began at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the Danes, outnumbered by the forces which were brought to bear against them, were compelled to abandon the outposts, and to seek shelter under the cannon of their forts. The fire from these forts slackened the onset of the Germans, and the Danes were enabled to regain their position at the outposts. The com bat was kept up till 4 o'clock in the afternoon — we may say until evening, as:it happened to be un commonly murky and gloomy. We have as yet no account of the casualties in the rank and lie; of the officers, Captain Schow was killed, Lieuten ant Mielengraft veverely wounded (it is believed since dead); Capt. ,Aratz, Adjutant Bleihum, and Lieutenant Somner wounded. The Austro-Prus sians, it is said, left- their dead on the field. There is every probability of a new engagement this morning, and the a, , .my will be in readiness to march by 3 o'clock after midnight. To return now to the ro Any disadvantages of the Danish position , In the Srst place, as I said, their numbers are almost absu. 7tily inad€quate to their wants. It is impossible 1 'or them to assemble in sufficient numbers at all th e points which may be menanced by their 'unhand it ous foe, and the means of communication from one 4 and of the line to the other are still in a very ban); :ward condition. The railway from Flensburg is i , ntirely placed at the service of the military, and, el traffic. I could only travel osed against common f ro m Sonderburg to this place in a postchaise. This c , a. ilway, as I told you, comes down from Flensburg I;0 1 lasum and Tonning, and there,is a short branch star, ing from Wallbull, a halfway between H usam nd l , the railway line 'onning, to Frede rickstadt.
