PROSPECTUS.

This Company is established for the purpose of purchasing
the property and continuing the business of the well known
Oxford and Canterbury Mimic Halls, so successfully con-
ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for
several years past.
The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the
public, are not inviting subscriptions to an unknown or un-
tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative
undertaking, and one which, with the additional means at
the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still
more so.
An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the
whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together
with the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on
terms highly advantageous to the Company, and in order to
show his confidence in its future success, he has subscribed
for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for
some years the manager.
It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel
accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate,
and thus materially add to the present large returns. here
is also an excellent private wine trade attached to both
establishments, which is capable of considerable extension.
It is impossible to show, with certainty, by any statistics,
the returns which may be expected from the present under-
taking, but the certified accounts for the last three years
show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the
whole amount of capital, which it is contemplated eventually
to call up,
The nresent average attendance at the Oxford and Canter-
bury 11Iusio Halls Is about 60,000 a month, and the proposed
extension of business will doubtless render the profits of the
undertaking still more remunerative than ever.
One-half of the capital has been already applied for, and
applications fcr the remainder should be made to the bankers
of the Company. accompanied by a deposit of 41 per share;
if no allotmext be made the deposit will be returned.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained at the Oxford and the Canterbury, at the Brokers,
and at the Temporary Offic s of the Company.
The Share List will close on Tuesday, 26th July, 1864.

This-
oil,
,4 atthoe-' discovered.
Celebrated pef -Only slightly inferior in quality to the
profit at —roleum of Pennsylvania, can be produced with
In aess than one-third the cost of the latter delivered
_,,as country, whilst the refined oil distilled from the
Curly" Cannel commands nearly the same price as the re-
ruled American article.
From this mineral oil are produced spirits of turpentine-
+substitute, burning oil, lubricating oil of three varieties,
solid paraffin, and grease of several binds. All these articles,
when of good quality, find a ready market.
The three processes, namely, raising the cannel, distilling
the oil, and refining it, have hitherto been made three dis-
tinct and separate businesses, involving three different ma-
nagements, with their attendant expenses.
This Company is formed to distil and refine oil from can-
nel procured from its own mine ; it will thus unite three
businesses, from each of which large profits are now made.
ily this combination, and by having the command of ample
capital and perfect processes, the Company will be enabled to
conduct a large trade to the greatest advantage, and thus
insure profits considerably in excess even of those now being
realised, either from the manufacture or refining of oil in
this country, or from its importation from any known source.
In furtherance of these' objects the purchase has been con-
cluded of the well-known works of the Mineral 'Oil Com-
pany at Saltney (near Chester), and Leeswood, in Flintehire,
and also of the Freehold Cannel and Coal Mines, Works,
and other property of the Tryddyn Oil and Coke Company,
contiguous to the Leeswood Works of the Mineral Oil Com-
pany.
The Company will thus at once enter into a well-estab-
lished, lucrative, and rapidly increasing business, with com-
plete works in full operation and with organised agencies, and
will at the same time acquire a freehold mine of well known
value, on terms which will enable the Company to supply
themselves with cannel of superior quality, at about one-
fourth of the present price. The purchase from the Mineral
Oil Company also includes an existing contract which will
entitle this Company to a supply of 100 tons per day of
"curly" cannel from the well-known Leeswood Green Col-
liery, for 22 years from 1860, at a price considerably below its.
present market value.
The price to be paid for the whole of the properties so
purchased will not exceed £160,000, payable by instalments.
The proprietors of the Mineral Oil Company and of the
TrYddyn 011 and Coke Company subscribe a large proportion
of the capital.
The Patent rights claimed by Messrs. Young and Co. for
.the
manufacture of paraffin oil from coal will expire in Octo-
ner next ; in the meantime the operations of the Company
Irvin be confined to substances which will not involve any in-
genient of the rights alluded to.

PROSPECTUS.

This Bank is founded on the basis of the well-known and
old established Firms of Pastre Freres and G. Sinadino and
Co., of Alexandria, under the following circumstances :
The trade and commerce of Egypt, which have been for a
series of years steadily increasing, are now raised by the
change in the cotton trade, caused by the American war, into
first rate importance, and corresponding banking and finan-
cial facilities are required.
The export value of the cotton crop of Egypt for the pre-
sent year is estimated at £17,000,000 ; the population is now
from 5,0c0,000 to 6,000,000. The financial position of the
country is most flourishing, all the elements of wealth and
prosperity are rapidly expanding, and an extensive field is
opened for public works and industrial under.akings of all
kinds.
The situation of Egypt, half way between England and
India, makes it also an important station for a large portion
of the exchange and other financial operations connected
with the immense trade between Europe and the East.
The Agra and Masterman's Bank, having a leading posi-
tion both in Eng and and India, has felt the advantage
which would result from havinz an I dependent Agency in
Egypt, while a great amount of financial and industrial busi-
ness, not falling within the scope of ordinary banking opera-
tions, will afford large profits in a country where capital
commands such a high rate of interest, to an Institut on act-
ing in connexion with the General Credit and Pittance Com-
pany of London and its influential Continental allies.
Under these favourable circumstances an opportunity has
presented itself of founding a powerful Banking and Finan-
cial Corporation, with a ready-made business and first-rate
ftle"l73.''fal"b—rTeres 6-hradrito
estabinlimenis
and Co., who have for many
'years had the honour of trans-
acting banking and mercantile business on account of the
Government of ET;pt and of his Highness the Viceroy.
A satistacto:y agreement has been made with Messrs Pa stre
and Sinadino for merging the whole of the business of these
two establishments in this Bank, with the premises occupied
by them, and the entire staff of tneir Intelligent and expe-
enced employes.
Messrs. pules Pastre and G. Sinadino, who are now at the
head of the establishments in Egypt, and under whose ma-
nagement they have attained their present great prosperity,
will continue to superintend the operations of the new bank
in that country, in concert with English gentlemen of first-
rate banking experience, while the Financial Agency of the
Agra and Masterman's Bank, and of the General Credit and
Finance Company of London, will ensure to this Bank the
full advantages of banking in London, India, and through..
out the Continent of Europe,
The Anglo-Egyptian Bank will thus possess the immense
advantage of entering at once upon a business in full acti-
vity, yietdi..g large profits, with the co-operation of gentle-
men who are intimately acquainted with the usages of the
country, and who have for a long series of years retained the
confidence of the Government and of the mercantile commu-
nity in Europe and the East.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association and Copy
of the Agreement with Messrs. Pastre and Sinadino, will
lie for inspection at the Offices of the Solicitors, 20, Austin-
friars.

A large proportion of the Capital is already subscribed.
Subscrip, ions for the remaining Shares will be received by
the Agra and Masterman's.Bank, 35, Nizholas-lane ; by the
General Credit and Finance Company of London, 7, Loth-
bury ; and by Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, the Brolt ers of
the Company, where Prospectuses and Forms of Application
may be obtained.
The amount of £2 upon each share applied for must be paid
to the Company's Bankers previously to the application being
sent in ; this sum will be returned if no allotment is made to
the applicant.
