PROSPECTUS. This Company is based upon existing institutions on the continent, which have been already worked with signal success. have founders of the International Land Credit Company previously established— I n a Belgium, La Banque Hypotheeaire Beige and La a que de Credit •Foncier et ladustriel (the Belgian gage Mor t and the Bank of Industry and Land Credit). 1, 111 Holland, La Banqe Hypothecaire Neerlandaise (the Netherland s Mortgage Bank). Pat y ia Austria, the Vindobona Mortgage Assurance Com• . have all prospered. The success they have met s aid, without is established by authentic documents. It may be . without exaggeration, that the results are brilliant ; f or . tlaese Companies have produced to their Shareholders an average dividend of 20 per cent., and some of them much amore. The experience acquired by the working of these Cora poi, d e ,,t7 B has led to the conclusion that, in order to give full tes 'frPment to the principles which have proved so auc '4l) it is desirable to found a Central Comp an y of an i nternati ona l character, the main functions of which should to raise capital by the issue of bonds and " lettres de g a ge" in the great money markets of Europe, to be em ployed through associated local Companies in purchases of ~',.'_uor. l oans upon real property, in countries where the '7 14 of interest is high. Banq ue Hypothecaire Belge, acting on this pain , Pie ? and established nearly three years ago, has, with a Belgian market Capital of £483,000 only, succeeded placing on the market alone such an amount of " lettres de gage" t 4 04 its s h ares w i t h £6 pa id h av e risen to and maintained t hemselve s at LIG. bjd `n he Capital raised in Belgium at 4 and 41 per cent. has employed principally in Austria, through La Banque Credit Fender et Industrial, which has a branch at Glenna completely organised, with a staff thoroughly tiVersed in Austrian affairs ; and it is shown by the books of "mapany that of all its o perations of purchase and sale I n Austria, not one has realised less than 20 per cent., after d educting,; all expenses, while general l y the y have reached 40 Per cent. n; B4 eh being the result of Companies limited to the 8e1,`,113 ,`,1 13 money market for raising capital, it is evident that Z"'l greater results may be obtained by forming an Inter.. Company, with a share capital large enough to mdlitate the plaeing of bonds and" lettres de gage" on the Money markets of England, France, Holland, and Ger tilany, as well as of Belgium. Accordingly, the p r esent Company has been founded , 13 -Mee the English Law of Limited Liability, and with an °Pace and ltirection in London, as welt as at Brussels; ar rangements have been made with the Banque Hypothecaire beige for a complete fusion, while a treaty has been con cluded with the Banque de Credit-Foncier et Industrial, Which ensures the benefit of their experience, and a large and profitable business from the commencement, a mini mum dividend of 11 per cent. on the paid-up Share Capital being secured in any event, as the result of the first year's Working. It is also proposed to enter into an arrangement with the Vindobona. This Society, which has existed at Vienna for five years, and has a capital of 10,000,000 florins, gua rantees the regular payment of interest upon mortgage debts as well as the principal when due. By this means, all the business done in Austria will be rendered perfectly secure. The Vindobona is in the most flourishing state. It has Paid 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 :VI distribute 25 per cent. Particular attention is called to t his point, This guarantee is one of the features which :V 3 fintEally distinguishes this Company from other Land- Credit Companies. Six pounds (£6) par share will b e called in the course of the present year, inclusive of the pay ment of £1 each on a pplicati on and allotment; after which, it is not expected t hat any further Calls whatever wil l be made. The Share Capital paid up will thus be £ 1 , 300,000 ; and the profit secured for the first year under the abo ve arrangements will e etill f urt h er i ncrease d as additional. Capital is raised from ,year to year by the issue of Bon d and "lettres de Z' a ge,' and as the securities of the Company become natu raliejl on the chief money-markets of Europe. Of the ,:!nount of L 6,000,000 Capital now issuel, L 5,000,000 't l 2 50,000 Shores have been taken and xeontinent, and 50,000 Shares are reserved for England, of paid upon on the vb ich 15 000 already subscribed, and 35,000 are offered , are ue Public by subscription at the General Credit and F inance Company of London (Limited). t the Articles of Association of the Company, duly regis i(P,4 in London on 11th February last, under the Act of `-'‘. 4 , lie at the Offices of the Solicitors, where they may be perused.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of purchas ing and extending the well knciwn 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 establishment 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 periled working condition, inclnding all the latest im provements. 3. These mills an I 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 nifi 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 85,000 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 instructed for her .Maj esty's Government), with all necessary appliances for shipbuilding. 5. In addition to Ships being c onstructed for the British Government, the Italian Government, the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, the Intercolonial Roy Mail S earn Packet Company, the Ottoman Government, and private merchants, twelve screw steamships with their engines are under con tract. 6. The Company has alsopurchased the Britannia Graving or' Dry Dock, now in efficient working, and the adjoining land, called Fergusson's 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 end abilities will be devoted exclusively to the interests of this company, and and as the whole of the ble p has ceed to the Company upon terms valua which are ropert cons y idered been highl d y ad vantageous, the result of the undert eking may be considered as assured. 8. 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 lhan are applied for, the deposit will lac made avaliable towards the payment on allotment, and the balance if any, returned to the applicant.

PROSPECTUS, 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 Fi nancial Companies in England has now been satisfactori l y p roved ; 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 capital. The revenue of India has risen in a few years from £20,000,000 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 h'gh 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 m be speedily commenced. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for shares may be obtained the Temporary Oces, or of the Brokers or So atlicitors. The Memorandum a ffi nd Articles of Association may be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be '.rned withoat deduction. reta OF APPLICATION FOR SRARES. • of the Oriental Financial Corporation 1 u To the Directo,. 1) ' -l i vi i ti mi i 5 . your Bankers the slim Gentlemen,—lliving of £ I request that you wiL • eliot me Shares in the Oriental Financial OGrporation (Limited), and I he re by agree to accept the same, or any less number that may be &lotted to me, and to pay the Calls in ionect of the Shares so allotted when due ; and I authorise yob, to place my name on the Register of 51embers for the number of Shares allotted.

Short, Esq. PROSPECTUS. China is the only large cunt, yin the C'vilised world which has no .irect bank in London operating solely for its benefit ; and it is obvious that a vast fertile region, inhabited by 300 millions of intelligent people, who carry on an en9rmous 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 Japan (via China' upwards of 7,000,0001 b. of silk and about 120,0),00i1b. of tea. The rapid increase of trade is thus shown: — Imports Exports to Total trade be- Years. of China China of British twe-n hi, a and Produce. Manufactures.

The port of Shan , hal alo le exhibits an extraordinary de velopment. In 1842 it had no European trade; in 1842 the va ue of its exports was £14,667,465, 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 1851, £102,316; in 1862, £3 4 8 397, Cotton is now becoming a large item of trade; during the last six mont a of 1863 more than 20,010,0001 b. were exported. The Imperial ilanx 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 banks for India and other similar institutions, the success of which the following t,ible will exemplify, and it is believed at least equal success will mark the progress of this bank : Paid up Present per Price per Share.

Thcbranches willbe under the control of the Lou don board, aided by the supervision of an inspector-general, as in the case with the Indian and Colonial i alike, and the authorisation of the Government of Pekin has been solicited to atow the sperve 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 .1 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 fel' railways and telegraphic communication will render neces sary extensive financial operations, which the Imperial Bank 01 China will be pecu,tarly favourably situated to un dertake.

Particular attention• will be directed to the acquisition of propertie • in first-rate localities, where, by the erection of suitable buildings, a large profit can be derived. With this view a contract has been entered into with a firm who are amongst the largest private owners in the City of London, for the purchase of their city properties, which cover an area of nearly an acre and a halt, and are situated in Graoechurch-street, Fenchurch-street, Mincing-lane, and Mark-lane. Plans can be seen the offices ot the solicitors. In this purchase it is siipelatedA.aat the vendors shall guarantee for a period of years a siiiirilmuna return upon the purchase money, which will secure at once a liberal dividend to the shareholders, and which will be further increas,id when the contemplate I improvements are, as they shortly will be, fully carried out. The Company will have the advantage of tnrrowing on their debentures, at rates of interest much under the per centage guaranteed ; and for the present it has been arranged with the vendors that the larger 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 question of rent. The awommodation 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 there seems every reason to anticipate that the demand for first-class offices in these localities will continue to be in advance a t e supply. Eight thousand shares are subscribed for, the remaining twelve thousand are offered o the public. In case of no allotment the deposit will be returned. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

PROSPECTIVE CHANGES IN COSTUME.—The 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 date 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 distinction, 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, are 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 tin 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 here is one made by Dr. Farr. It is reckoned that for every death in a year there are constantly two persona ill in the year; and, so reckoning, the census returns of 1851 and 1861 and the mort a lity re t urns o f th e intervening years give the following results;—ln all England and Wales 47 persons constantly sick to o ne me d ica l man , including under this last term not only physicians and general prac titioners, but also such assistants and medical students as are above 20 years of age. In London the proportion is only and and Ch eshire) 75, and in the as many North-western 24 resident sick to one doctor—in the South- eastern coun ties 37, South-western 45, South-midland 49 , West midland 54, Eastern 57, Northern 58, N ort h -midland 59, Yorkshire Monmouthshire (Lancashire Wales as 80. The calculation shows one m e di cal man to every 64, t g 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 profession does not appear to be increasing in number —the number in England under 40 years of age was 11,105 in. 1851, and only 9,910 in 1 861. With regard to the fortunes of this profession, the calendars of wills and administra tions for 1858, which has been analysed, shows that 300 medical men died, leaving personal property in th a t year to pass to survivors ; and therefore the nu m b er who left y no personal property cannot have been considerable. The average amount left by these 305 gentlemen was £3,139 ; 35 left less than £lOO, 127 left above £l,OOO, 20 of these left above £ lo , ooo —namely, 16 between £lO,OOO and £20,000, two between £20,000 and £30,000, and three between. £50,000 and £lOO,OOO. 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 A gr i cu l tural Hall. The memorialists complain. that during nine days and nights in May, 1863, they andi their families w ere su b jected to the annoyance arising from the incessant barking and howling of the couple of thou-. sand dogs confined in the building; and they are c . ons , e quently much al arme d at the announceme nt that a sinarlar annoyance is likely to be inflicted upon them in May next.. Sir Geor ge G rey has informe d t h e 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.
