Money will also be received on deposit y for stated periods, upon interest to be -greed. and will be employed in like manner with the capital, the uncalled por ton of whit - , and the property held on mortgage by the Company, will at all times afford ample security to depo sitors. 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 shipping has been so severely felt that the Dire •tors enter with confident • 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 so to 15 per cent., the Directors have facilities for pborrowing at such ra t es as to yield a surplus profit of 5 to 6 per cent. The detailed prospectus and forms of application for shares may be obtained of the Secretary, Brokers, and Bankers, and at the Offices of the Company.

The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone tary arrangements of the increasing commercial interasts of Great Britain and its dependencies. In founding this undertaking the Directors have secured the co-operation of an old and highly -respected Discount Firm in London, with whom arrangements have been made for the transfer of its lucrative business to this Corporation, and two of whose partners join the Direction. It will thus b. 3 manifest that the Discount Corporation starts with a large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience of Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to command the confidence of the public. The material basis of the Corporation will be a large sub scribed Capital, judicially distributed. The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and continental trades of the country, and the greatly extending commercial transactions with India and the Cilonies, lead to the conviction that greater discounting facilities than at pre sent exist are required A n establishment, which from its ample means will be able to supply such requirements, will no dou' t 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 merely desire the temporary employment of their surplus thuds. The known profitable operations of the old private Vs count Firms, and the new Discount Compa n i es , g i ve th e as surance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed, will prove a complete success. The Head Office of the Corporation will be in London. No promotio —money' will be given for originating the undertaking, and the pre; iminary expenses will be strictly Confined to such as are indispensable. Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Dir ctors, copieA of the roctus may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corpora ion, or at the Offices of the Brokers and ziolicitors ; but no application will be considered unless a deposit of Li per scare on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

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 (Limited), 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 afr ards a certain base for further operations. With this view a provisional purchase has been made of eight valuable estates in he tea-producing districts of Assam, Cachar, Syihet, and Darjeeling. The estates comprise 2,00 u aces now in plant, 750 acres of which arc three year- old and upwards. The crop for the current year. included in the purchase, is guaranteed to be fully 160,u001b5., and 5 0 maunas, of 821bs. each, of tea-seed ; next year the cr,,p of teals guaranteed to be at least 220,0u01b5. In addition to the 2,000 acres in plant there are 40,,,0a acres of uncleared lands, adapted for t. a plantations. The lands are held either in fee sim,le, or under grants from Govern ment under the old rules, fir .9 years, at mere nominal rents, and convertible into freehold tenure on very easy terms. The price of these estates is £155,00, of which one-half is to be paid in slaw es 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 ICo,ooo.bs. of tea, besides 500 reaunds 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 suffice to pay at least an eight per cent. dividend on the paid-up capital, and as large areas come into bearing tne Company's profits will rapidly increase. The estates Lave 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 trom 250 lb.:. to 300 lbs. and upwards The average price at which tea of this quality now sells. deductinyf freight and charges, is s. 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 11111 bearing. Where tea of the usual quality of Indian teas is grown, each acre of jungle, as it is cleared and planted, yields alter five years a large annual profit; and whe e extensions proceed in the neighbourhood of an exist ing plantati an, the expense for buildings and supervision is very slightly increased. The growth of tea will be the chief source of profit. The Company will prudently extend the cultivat:on, as these operations will greatly augment the value of its uncleared estates. From the letter of the Calcutta correspondent of the "Times,' which appeared in that journal on the 29th June last, it will be s en that an immense field presents itself in India for the cultivation of tea ; and, having regard to the present and pr aspective vale 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. H. 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 located 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 fhe direction of the Board in London. The peculiar features of the British Indian Tea Company are these: — I. The large extent of tea plantations on its estates, already in successful operation, placing its results more on past ex perience than on prospective estimates. 2. The price paid for the estates, being in like manner not based on speculative estimates, but on an actual production of tea adequate to pay at least 8 per cent. from the first, with the prospect of a rapid increase. 3. The great capacity for early and economical extension, with 49,000 acres of land, most of which is adjacent to the ex isting estates and bui,dings. 4. The distribution of these estates over four of the best tea-growing provinces of India, giving facilities for labour, and a security against any partial f allure in one locality from unfavourable seasons, or other causes. The Directors expressly intimate that there is no payment to be made to promoters. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained of Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill. the brokers of she Company • or at tie temporary offices of the Company. The amount Of £1 u on each share applied for must be paid to the Company's bankers on application ; this sum will be returned it no allotment is made to the applicant.

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 Haslar. In these vessels the twin screw principle, well known, and approved by Mr. Reed and the Admiralty Board, will be thoroughly carried out. An experimental target, representing a portion of the,Warrior's side, has been built at Woolwich, and is now ready to be forwarded to Shoebnryness for a trial of the heavy Armstrong guns. The target, measuring 12ft. bin. broad and lOtt. high, is securely bolted to a huge platform, lined on either side, lengthways, with 12 empty casks, which will be partly submerged during the experiment. About 2ft. of the target will be also under water. The target isfplated with iron slabs of 41in. thickness, and is firmly backed by logs of 18-inch teak. The greatest care has been taken in its manufacture to select and test the whole of the materials, so as to render the trials conclusive. The following appointments were made yesterday at . the Admiralty :—Dr. G. Duncan, surg. additional to the Narcissus ; Chas. Moore, chief engineer to the Fisgard, for the Valiant ; and John Bonny, chief engineer to the Cumberland, for the Clio. Oxfordshire Members on Public Affairs. OXFORD, Thursday. 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. S. W. Henley, M.P., Cot. North, M.P., Colonel Fane, 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 feelings are allied more to sorrow than to joy, when I reflection the state of health of my respecte d colleague l‘ b r. Langston. Your mayor has truly said that he has as been faithful to you, and you, gentlemen, will be faithful to those who have 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 w ill not attempt to repay you in words only for the kindness which you have shown I hope I shall never show myself to me. (Cheers.) unworthy of that steadfastness of principle and t on will naturally expect from any con duct which y ma y select to the high honour of one whom von you in Parliament. (Cheers.) Gentle representing men, I have the pleasure to-night of sitting by the s ide of the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, and I need not remind you that in the summer of this year the c ity 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 i m possible for us to assemble together as we have done on the present occasion without a feeling of wonder and gratitude at the circumstances in which this great country is now placed. We have just gathered in a harvest mere 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 Lancaster. (Hear, hear,) I, for one, was always sanguine o u r i ; i n i this point, and believed that the trial o nly a which we were passing would notstate of with great hareism , and would result m at ia7g btehrborne e, bat undiminished prosperity to theictZrYgone through I dirt not believe that we could bare ; e h a terrible cala the first , and even two years.ect.

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 suppoirt, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New market, on Wednesday last, present—Lord Coventry, Admiral Rous, Mr. Alexander (stewards; Lord Annesley, Mr. Berne, Count Batthyany, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Courtenay, Mr. W. S. Crawford, Mr. W. G. Craven, Sir H. Des Vceux, Lord Glasgow, Sir J. Hawley, Captain Lane, Lord G. Manners, Lord Newport, Lord Portsmouth, Lord W. Powlett, Duke of St. Albans, Lord Stamford, Lord Stradbroke, Lord Strathmore, Lord Uxbridge, Lord West moreland, Lord Wilton, and Lord Winchilsea. The Marquis of Hastings was elected a member of the Jockey Club. Lord WINCIIILEEEk brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, but it was not seconded. On the motion of Admiral Rots, seconded by Lord COVENTRY, it was resolved—" That in Rule 36 the fine to be inflicted at the discretion of the stewards shall be not ex ceeding 60 sovs, 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 b shall be substituted for Bst 71b. Admiral Rous's motion for an alteration of Rule 40 was withdrawn, In the absence of Mr. Greville, it was moved by the Duke of BEAUFORT, and seconded by Lord COURTENAY " 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, No. 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. The Duke of Beaufort's motion for an alteration of Rule 56, on the subject of claiming, was withdrawn for the present. The next general meeting of the Jookey Club will be held at Newmarket, after the races, on Wednesday in the Hough ton Meeting, NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. 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 wvs 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 attractions of the day commenced with the 500 Soya. 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 tarn, certainties. Antoinette added another to the hollow victories of a day not prolific of close contests, by easily placing the 10 Soya. 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 proved 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 the 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 sister to Mincepie, by a neck. The weather changed for the worse yesterday, render ing locomotion on the heath anything but agreeable. The rain, however, held up towards the close of the after noon. Sweepstakes of 500 sovs each, 200 ft, for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; and fillies, Bst 71b. Winners extra. Maidens allowed 716. R.M. 3 subs. Lord Stamford's Onesander, 88t 101 b .. (A.

Immediately the horses reached the post Mr. M'George got them in line, and despatched them on their way. They ran nearly in a line for 100 or 200 yards, when the running was taken up by the Birthday filly on the lower side, closely followed by Revolver, Little Dick, Villette, and Oberon, General Hesse, who headed the rear divibion, lying on the upper ground. They retained these positions to the " bushes hill," where Revolver headed Mr. Watt's filly, and cams on with a slight lead into the Abingdon mile-bottom, where Covey made his final effort, but failed to reach the leader in consequence of his filly breaking down badly, Revolver winning in a cantor by three lengths —two lengths between the second and third ; Equinox was fourth and Little Dick fifth; the others beaten off; the last two being General Ilesse and Oberon.

Some time was lost at the post in consequence of Hum phrey breaking away twice and refusing to face his horses. 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 back, 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.

East Sheen was extremely fractious at the post, which caused some delay in getting them away. On settling into their places, Norroy too k a .clear lead, having the favourite, Garotter, and Benjamin, in close attendance, Ostentation lying away until they reached the half mil e pos t , w h ere s h e joined the leader, the pa ir running in co m p any t o h a lf a dozen strides of home, w hen the Youn g one got up and won cleverly by half a length.

The Plexbe has also been into dock to have her bottom cleaned and examined. Her broken engine is being repaired here, and it will be necessary to cast a new cylinder.

If we look e - `4% , east or the west we find an . „ 1 . narchy and a republic plunging war, which is the worst of wars, fraught than any other with public calami nl ‘ s, wherever we turn our eyes upon t he grey t powerful country of America we see bloodshediai trie field and sorrow on the hearth. Contrast that wit, 1 1 the contentment, the tranquillity, and the reeaark• • able prosperity which upon the whole exists Wong ourselves, and above all with that cordial and sin cere affection to our institutions, and towards each other, which happily prevails among all classes of the people of this country. (Cheers.) I do Et speak of those slight differences of opinion upoti pL7blic questions which must necessarily arise among a free people, who are in the habit of discussing open.'y and fairly all such questions. Such diffe rences of opinion do 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 paran:ount importance which arc essential for the existenes of a free, happy, prospe rous, and powerful country. (Cheers.) That pa triotic feeling is manifested upon all occasions in which the honour of the c pantry is concerned, and it results in respect for our ius:itutions, and not only in loyalty but in warm affect ion, amounting to reverence, towards the person of our Sovereign and her family. We watch with the deepest inte rest every event that tends to augment their hap piness, and when, as w e have read to-day, an occa sionoccurs and whieh recalls the los s , the trials, the thesuffering, sorrow of our gra c i ous Q.neen , the whole nation vibr ates with s y m p athe tic feeling, and joins in the expre ssion of senti ments an d loyalty and love. (Hear.) ,This, then, is th e h appy condition of our country; we owe it to a hi gher , power, and it is therefore ou r dut y net to be foun d wanting. But considering the advantages and the blessings we enjoy, and fidelity to those we ought by the exercise o f energy, industry, perseverance, great principles which should be the rule of ever y man's conduct, to endeavour to i ncre ase those blessings and multiply those advantages for the benefit of the comnamunity among whom 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 ixed 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 also proved himself a faithful representative, and mast now be considered a tried public servant, while their younger but not less respected member, Col. Fane, had given proof of ability and energy which en . "'v,e , ' 4‘',l'4' .. , AXI7 - ;41:4i, kt 4 „0" f . .71b74*,_ . c .,'' Si . A al s .• ) 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 been 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. He 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 rem:wet to the prosperity of the country he most They stood, he might say, in h ear tily concurred. broad and open contrast to almost every in a becomingnionin the world, and they must be thankful spirit to Divine Providenene,oiwn en o i r o d y er ed th m a i t gh th t these gr eat blessings which they p a r s e u se b n je t c c t o o n f d d it e i e o p n c o o f ng th ra is . west,where ne th m ey an w e o o u u ld ld , continued country afforded The look e ither e ither to the far ea st t u lation ; because , let othretmo say whether there was greater prospect of war. He hoped that th e 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 public 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 support, so long as they continued to preserve the honour an d dignity of the country alltlL avoid an unnecessary interference with t he n affairs of other nations.
