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 Mtturitius gives the best pro fof this prorr,ress, and shows how firmly the prosperity of the colony is now established : 7;•Ons. 1850 1851 1852 1853 92.012 1854 1855 1856 1857 114,660 .658 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 irrkottion, 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 or the sugar crop may be taken at £3,00 1 ,000, and the fee-Simple value of the sugar estates at £6,000,000 ; in addition to which 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 £500,000, 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 Companies to lend upon land. Under these circumstances an application has been made to the Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank of India, on be half of a large number of the principal members of the Legis lative Council and Landed Proprietors of Mauritius, to esta- Wish a branch there. _ _ The Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank were of opin'on 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 flank were invited, it thought better to rai. , e a separate capital and constitute anew Company, which, While connected with the Mort2,age 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 en office and establishment in London will be diminished by mutually advantageous art angemen ts: A deposit of 22 is payable on allotment, and calls by in stalments up to XlO per share will be made, atter which it is intended to issue Bonds. The Articles of Association lie at the offiCes of the Solid tors for inspection. Auplications may be made in the annex4d form, addressol to the Offices of the Land Mortgage I . ll '.;ik. a India (Limited), Change-alley, or to the Brokers.

In introducing the City Mercantile Club and Dining Hall Company to the public the Directors have pleasure in knowing that they are supplying a great public want, it being universally admitted that— A Club adapted to the constantly increasing growth and requirements of the commercial and mercantile world of the City of London, and A higher class public dining and refreshment hall are greatly wanted. The Club, with its private dining, reading, and smoking rooms for the exclusive use of members, will be conducted under the management of a committee, strictly upon the principles of similar establishments, with a small entrance fee and subscription, and a moderate dining-room tariff, adapted to the views of menof the commercial world. The establishment will contain from 30 to 40 bed •rooms. Holders of ten shares and upwards will (subject to the ballot) be admitted to the membership of the club, without entrance fee. The public dining halls will be on a scale worthy of the City, and capable of comparison with any establishment on the Continent. The Directors have purchased in one of the best and most central situations in the City, in close proximity to the principal places of business, a magnificent range of buildings (recently erected under the superintendence of an eminent architect) in the centre of Cheapside, having nearly 30,000 feet of floor space, and pre-eminently adapted to the re quirements of all branches of the proposed establishment. It will be for the consideration of the Directors whether it is desirable to let off the ground and basement floors, the residue of the premises providing ample space for the re quirements of the undertaking, and should these floors be so let off they will alone command a rental sufficient to guarantee a substantial dividend upon the paid-up capital. The Directors have carefully considered the probable profits and returns of this undertaking, and their most moderate calculations' show a dividend of from 30 to 40 per cent. The Directors congratulate themselves on having secured the invaluable co-operation of several gentlemen whose practical knowledge and experience will be truly desirable. In consequence of a large amount of shares having been already applied for (and a most encouraging number of applications made for Club membership),the Directors are compelled to add that the list of applications for shares can remain open for a limited period only. In the meantime applications for the unallotted shares must be made to the Solicitors or Secretary; the required deposit having been previouslypaid to the Bankers of the Company. Th e Articles of Association can be seen at the Company's Offices. FORNI OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. No. -- To the Directors of the City Mercantile Club and Dining Hall Company (Limited).

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 in consequence of Marine Insurance Companies being now very generally preferred to private underwriters. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from the present vaiue 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 5 1 3 156 „ The Empire The Albion .... • 2 3 1 3 56 „ The Mercantile The strictest economy will be exercised 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 £1 per share, which will be retained on account of the full payment of £2 per share on the number of shares which may he 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-buildings, Liverpool.

PROSPECTUS. - - This Bank is established in order to meet a want which has long been experienced in Mexico—the want of those assured Banking facilities which have done so much to stimulate the industry and develop the resources of other countries. 1 he field before such an Institution, which Mexico and the South American States present, is most inviting. Its re sources in silver are boundless, while the climate of this wonderful country is such that almost every production of the soil can be cultivated to an extent which can scarcely be imaatned. With the hoped-for success which is to be anticipated from the policy of the new Government, Mexico has a great future before her. Money there commands at all times a high re munerative price, ranging from 10 to 18 per cent., and, as the field will be almost free, the Bank will be able to select those securities which are ample and undoubted, on which to make its several advances. It will also constitute a favourable feature of the Mexican Bank that, as a strong London Institution, which has already secured to itself promise of the support of influential Mexi can and South American houses, it will command the confi dence of local depositors, who are at the present time in the hands of private money-dealers, but who, so soon as such a Banking Institution is established in their midst, will lose no time in transferring considerable deposits to such esta blishment, as offering a security, ample and sufficient, which the private money-dealers there do not afford. The Mexican Bank will commence its operations in Mexico, and the magnitude of the field there may be estimated by the subjoined statistics : Imports if silver into Great Britain from Mexico and South America (except Brazil), for the eleven months ending November 30, 1863 ........»...• £5,678,913 Imports of gold ditto ditto 3,493,044 The exports from this country, consisting of Manchester goods and other kritish manufactures, are very considerable; and this trade will no doubt be extensively augmented as the empire becomes consolidated and the confidence of merchants in the stability of the Government is secured. The Directors of the Mexican Bank will also establish a Branch in Valparaiso, the great commercial sea port of Chili, and where the want of the facilities which such an institu tion could afford is much experienced by English and Ameri can, as well as the native mercantile firms, carrying on the great trade of that important territory. Arrangements are in contemplation for the incorporation of an existing successful Banking Institution with the Mexi can Bank. No promotion money will begiven in the establishment of the M exican Bank, preliminary expenses to be confined to necessary disbursements. _ _ The remuneration of the Directors left to the Share. holders. Prospectuses and forms of applications for shares may be obtain, d of the Brokers, Bankers, Solicitors, and at the Tem porary Offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share has been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company. The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit will be returned without deduction, and should the number al lotted he less than the number applied for. the payment in excess will be applied towards the amount due. 3/IADANIE TUSSAUD'S HISTORICAL GALLERY ; established 2 8 years at the Bazaar, B a k e r-street.—A f utl-length MODEL of EDWARD IV., the magnificent crown and coronation robes King of England, 1483, reported the handsomest man in ; extra rooms, 6d.

(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Blackburn, and Mr. Justice Mellor.) The three learned judges sat in Banco ; Mr. Jus tice Shee sat at Nisi Prins until the middle of the day, and then left in the midst of a case to go to Judge's Chambers. Mr. Sergeant Parry received to-day his patent of precedence. Mr. Pulling, Mr. John Simon, and Mr. Tindal Atkinson received the coif as sergeants at law. THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH V. OSBORNE. This was a case which raised a rather curious philological discussion with some interesting prac tical illustrations. It was an action of ejectment by the Duke against a farmer, one of his tenants, at Hanborough, in Oxfordshire, to recover his farm, on the ground of an alleged forfeiture on the fel lowing clause in his agreement of tenancy :—" The tenant to perform each year for the Duke of Marl borough, at the rate of one day's team work with two horses, and one proper person, for every £5O of rent, when required (except at hay or corn harvest), without being paid for the same." The Duke's agent had desired the tenant to send a cart to carry coals from the railway station to the Duke's man sion at Blenheim. This the tenant refused to do, though he offered to send the horses and the man, cor tending that the Duke was to find the cart. This was the point in contention between the parties. The case was tried at Oxford before Mr. Justice Byles, who reserved the point, the verdict being entered for the Duke subject thereto. Mr. Huddle ston, Q.C., had obtained a rule on the part of the tenant to set aside the verdict and enter it for him. Mr. Gray, Q.C., and Mr. Cripps argued on the part of the Duke, in support of the verdict, and against the rule to set it aside. They contended that, according to the agreement, as the tenant was to do " team work," and it could not be done with out a cart, he was bound to find the cart. In the course of the argument of Mr. Cripps, Mr. Justice Crompton said, in the course of his reading he had met with the following lines, which seemed to show that the team was separate from the cart : " Giles Jolt was sleeping—in his cart he lay, "Some waggish pilferers stole his team away. "Giles wakes and cries, Odd's bodikins, wha t ' s here? . Why, how now, am I Giles or not ? "' It he, I've lost six geldings to my smart; "' If not, odd's bodikins, I've found a cart. (Much laughter.) Mr. Justice Blackburn cited some lines from one of Wordsworth's poems—we believe from the TVag • goner—the lines beginning thus " My jolly team will work alone for me." Mr. Cripps cited TValker' s Dictionary;— " Team, a number of horses drawing the same carriage;" and so Johnson's Dictionary—" A number of horses drawing the same carriage. ' Mr. Justice Cr mpton said these citations seemed to imply that the team was distinct from the car riage. Mr. Cripps urged that the team without the cart would be of no use, and he cited a stanza from ' Gray's Elegy : "Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield, Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe hath broke ' • 10;s2)=Ineddid tle th l e v y oo d d r s iv b e en th ea ei t r h ttehaemi rslur afield,iy stroke." He also cited the description given by Caesar of the m ode of fighting from the chariot adop ed by the ancient Britons, who use d to com e out of their chariots and "percurrerc per tenzonem." The learned counsel also alluded to what he called the "graphic" account of the battle of Bull's Run ' in which it was stated th a t " t h e t eams t e r cut the t r a A c i e r s . u t d h d e i e h s t o o r n s s."

They cited Bos wctreh's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary Team : issue, of f spring, progeny, a succession of children ; any. thing following in a line." Mr. Justice Crompton—Surely the word there must be spelt " teem ?" (Laughter.) The learned Counsel cited Richardson's Diction- CANTERBURY HAL L.

(Great laughter.) The learned Counsel observed that it was even applied to a line of ducks ; in fact, to a line of any sort of animals. It meant in the present instance a pair of working horses in a line—not a b reas t ; f or that would require a different kind of harness, and it could not be supposed that the man was to drive them in a cart " tandem" fashion. The team was like a team of pack-horses or horses in a waggon, only the Duke was to find the waggon or cart. Be yond all doubt, the Duke was to find the work that was to be done. Was ho not to find the tackle, or machinery, or vehicle adapted to the work to be done ? Mr. Justice Mellor—How is team work to be done without a cart? Mr. Huddleston—How is it to be done unless work is provided to be done ? Aud if the Duke is to provide the work, why is he not to provide what it is to be done with ? Otherwise the Duke may vary the work to be done infinitely, and throw on the tenant the burden of providing tackle or machinery or vehicles fit for it. Put the case of harrow-work or plough-work. Was the tenant to find the plough or harrow, or the coal-cart, or the dung-cart, or the waggon, or what not ? Surely the Duke, as he furnished the work, must provide the proper vehicle or tackle for it I All that tbe tenant had to do was to perform the team work. But a team alone could do no work; and how could the tenant before he knew what work was to be done provide the tackle for it? The learned counsel made the following citations:— Johnson's Dictionary, Todd's Ed., 1827. " Team (n. s.) (temo, the team of a carriage—Latin; team, Sax., a yoke). " l. A number of horses or oxen drawing at once the same carriage.

" To team (v. a., from the noun), to join together in a team. " ' By this the night forth from the darksome bower " ' Of Erebus her teamed steeds gan —Spenser (Virgil's quart.)" After a long and interesting argument the learned Judges consulted together and then delivered judg ment. Mr. Justice Crompton said he thought that the duke, the plaintiff, had not made out his case so clearly as to sustain a forfeiture. In the modern sense of the term the word " team," to aay the least, did not clearly imply the cart as well as the horses. He thought that the meaning was that the farmer was to bring the horses and do the work he was set to. Something must be added to the agreement to make sense of it. It might be said that it was not stipulated that the duke should find the cart. But so neither was it stipulated that the farmer should do so. And then it must be considered that the duke was to prescribe the work to be done. And the farmer could hardly bring the proper vehicle or tackle before be knew what the work was. Moreover, the agreement was not to draw the coals , but to perform the team work. If it had been to draw the coals, then the tenant would have had to find the cart. But it was not so. The work to be done was not confined to agricultural work. The work might be to draw timber, or carry coals, or draw a plough or harrow, or what not. In all these cases the tackle or vehicle would vary. And if in all these cases the tenant was to find it, the contract would be very oppressive. He thought that it was enough if the farmer sent the horses and the driver to be put to such purpose as the Duke's agent might please. It was to be lamented that these contracts were not made more; . 'clear ; but on the best con - atruction he could put on the agreement it did not mean that the tenant was to bring the cart. dlr. Justice Blackburn concurred. No doubt it was a general legal principle that if a man con tracted absolutely to do a specific thing he must do it, and find the means to do it, as in the common mercantile case of a vendor contracting to sell goods " free on board"—that is, to put them on board free of charge, in which case, of course, he must find lighters for the purpose, though, on the other hand, the vendee must provide and name the ship. So here, if the contract had been to draw the coals, the farmer must have found the cart as well as the iorsee. Bat here the Duke was to define the work to be done, and it must be work proper to ba done by a team of horses. It might be to break up a field, in which case the tenant might say, "Here is my team, and I ana ready to do the work ; but where is the plough P" So, if he were set to draw timber, be might ask for clumps and chains to draw it with; so, if he were asked to draw coals, he had a right to demand the cart, for it was impossible that the team should do all these varied kinds of work wieiout the proper tackle and vehicle. Mr, Justice Mellor differed, and thought that the f arme r y,- , as bound to provide the cart. It might well be that the Duke might not have the proper vehicles to do the work, for he was to do the team work, and he could not do it without the vehicle or tackle. The contract was not merely to furnish the horses and man, but to do the team work, and that bound him to do and provide all that was necessary to do the team work. The majority of the Court being, however, i❑ favour of the former, the rule was absolute to enter a nonsuit, Mr. Gray observing, however, that, as it was ejectment, the Duke could bring another action anyhow. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS, Yesterday was what is technically termed a grand day in the different Royal parks. From an early hour in the morn ing pedestrians and members of the nobility and gentry in carriages vontinued to flock into the parks, in order to wit ness the evolutions of the lady and gentlemen sliders and skaters upon the different sheets of ice. Princess Mary of Cambridge was one of the promenaders on the banks of ho Serpentine, with her attendants, and her Royal Highness inquired at the Royal Humane Society's receiving-house as to whether skating was going on in Kensington-gardens , and whether any accidents had occurred. The thermometer at this institution, as registered by Ne gretti and Zambra's patent glass, showed that during Wed , nesday night the mercury indexed 31} deg. At 9 obein'clock y es terday morning the same glass sho wed 321 deg., g little above freezing point. At noon the glass rose to 35 deg., being 3 deg. above freezing point. Tha barometer was 29.63. The wind was N.E., and the weather was overcast, Last night the glass began to fall, and the wind ch n o d p g p itso e n d i: to the north-west, showing ever y indication of aicechianngset. James's taking place in the state of the weather. The ice at the prebent time on the Serpentine i s 2in. thic k , but exceed ingly dangerous. In the Royal Pond in Kin garmdees Park is only about ens, the ice isha a l b fan t Ii inches inchth niieketrh.ickn thickness, a most rotten and unsafe state. Owing to the admirable arrizngements made by Mr, Young, the secretary of the Royal Mullane Society, and Mr. Williams, the superintendent, the icemen, by great exertions, managed to clear the vast expanse of this river, if we except about 100 or 150 females and gentielnen, who' in spite of bll expostul at i ons of Deputy-super i n tendent Murphy, insisted up on staying upon the ice until la te in the afternoon. Fort unately only a few slight immersion® took place on thi s r i ver. In the Regent' s - park about 3,000 skaters and sliders dis ported, and several serious accidents took place. Shortly before noon Henry Childs. of 7, Bury-street, BloomsburY t broke through the ice into 7 feet of water. Ile was rescued by one of the icemen diving after him. About half-past one a man named Geo. Addis, of 33, Duke's mews, Grosvenor square, fell through the ice in 11 feet of water, and iceman Windyard, managed to get him out in a very exhausted state, the iceman nearly losing his own life in saving him. Three other persons were also immersed, but happily they were rescued. They were attended to by Dr. Norton, and were able to return home. The Royal round-pond hal about 700 males and females upon the ice, but only a few immersions took place, and nothing of a serious character occurred.
