ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

This Corporation has been formed for the purpose of
uniting the ordinary business of a Finance Company with
Oat of an Estate Agency--a want not yet supplied by any of
the existing Companies.
The business of the Corporation will consist of two distinct
branches—viz., Financial Transactions and Estate Agency
Business, an.d competent representatives will be appointei in
the princi.pal towns.
The Pinancial Department will consist of advancing money
on real and personal estate, whether intended for sale or
otherwise, and on such other securities as the Directors may
approve. The Corporation will act also as agents between
mortgagors and mortgagees, and will negotiate subscriptions
or loans for British and foreign undertakings, the bona fides
of which w.ll be strictly investigated before they are sub-
mitted to the public.
The Estate Agency Department will embrace valuations ;
the rurchase end sale of estates, lands, and houses; the
management of estates, and the carrying out of drainage and
other essential improvements ; also the sales of agricultural
produce, farming stock, and every description of properties,
by private contract and public auction ; and it is intended to
hold periodical sales of freehold and leasehold properties.
S:veral lucrative transactions have already been secured
by the Corporation ; and although the Directors consider the
present nominal capital ample for all immediate purposes,
power has been taken to increase the same should it be
ultimately deemed desirable.
By the Articles of Association (which 'lie for inspection at
the 'temporary Offices of the Company), e,ch Director is
required to hold 2:0 snares; and more than 2,100 shares
have already been subscribed for by the Directors and their
friends.

Prosr ectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained from the Bang ere and Brokers, or at the Temporary
Offic s of the Company.

STAMPED.....Sd.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

Admiral Sir Provo W. P. Wallis is to receive the
Admiral's good service pension placed at the dis-
posal of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the
death of Admiral Sir Arthur Fanshawe, K.C.B.

Yesterday a party of mechanics and workmen left
Chatham Dockyard for Shoeburyness, for the pur-
pose of taking to pieces and removing the wreck of
the Lord Warden target, the destruction of which
was so complete nn the occasion of the recent ex-
periments with the Armstrong and Somerset guns.
The target was constructed at Chatham DJekyard,
under the superintendence of Mr. Ba6kcornbe, and
was in all respects the most massive of its kind ever
completed at that establishment.
Considerable progress has been made in the con-
struction of the Lord Warden, ironclad frigate,
building at Chatham, and yesterday the workmen
commenced the operation of planking, the work of
setting up the frame, with the exception of a small
portion of the stern, being now completed. The stem
of the Lord Warden projects a considerable distance
beyond the vessel, and this portion of the frigate is
shaped like the curved portion of a capital S. The
projecting part of the bows below the water-line
will be armed with a sharp, cleaver-like instrument
for cutting open any hostile vessel, and sinking her.
About 1,000 tons of armour-plating, of 41- and 51
inches in thickness, for covering the exterior of the
Lord Warden, have been landed at Chatham
Dockyard, the whole having been supplied by
Messrs John Brown and Co., of the Atlas Works,
Sheffield.

The paddlewheel steam sloop Gladiator. 6, Capt.
Francis H. Shortt, left Plymouth Sound on Monday
afternoon for the West Coast of Africa. She started
with her topgallant-masts housed. Four of her
guns were left behind at Devonport, and every other
arrangement made for the accommodation of troops.
It is calculated that she can now receive 19 officers
and 480 rank and file.

The troopships Hornet and Atalanta arrived in
the Thames on Tuesday, and dropped their anchors
off the Custom-house quay, Gravesend, having on
board the 74th Highland Regiment. Yesterday
morning the troops commenced disembarking, con-
sisting of one field officer, 20 officers, and 543 non-
commissioned officers and privates, with 31 women
and 62 children. Major-General H. Eyre, with
Col. C. S. Gordon, his aide-de-camp, and Capt. W.
Congreve, Brigade Major, from Chatham garrison,
superintended the disembarkation. The regiment
embarked at Madras on the 7th of March last, after
a service of upwards of ten years. During the
whole of its service in India its conduct has been
most exemplary. The regiment, it is expected, will
be sent to Chatham for a short time previous to its
being removed to Scotland.

the Admiralty :—F. F. M. Strong, to be Staff Com-
mander; Norcock, nominated to a naval
