BROK ERS. Mesrs: Foster iand Braithwaite,

The Bank of India is es•ablished ter the purpose of carrying on the
general bu>iness of banking and exchange in India, China, the
Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and other eastern possessions of the
British empire ; for receiving deposits and making re.cittances ; for
granting cash credits and making advances upon approved secari•
ties ; for issuing circular 'fetes payable in Europe, Fgypt, the prin-
cipal stations on the Overland r.mtes to India, and at the different
establishments of the bank ; for granting local drafts and credits ;
and for all other legitmate banking business.
The large capital of the Bank of India will render it a safe medium
of deposits and nvestinent for the Indian community, whilst the
sources of profit to be derived from the extended operations of the
bank, by means of its different agencies, and the high rate of in-
terest obtainable in India, will ensure a large and p ofitable return
upon the capital invested, and will, it is confidently expected, justify
the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors. -
The great success which has attended the operations of the exist-
ing • finking establishments in this country, connected with the East
Indies, and of the well-conducted 1 cal banks in the different Pre-
sidenciec, and the encouragement given to the employment of capital
in similar undertakmgs by the extension of commerce and railways,
has led to the formation of the Bank of India.
The extensio t of banking facilities necessary to meet the growing
requirements of the mercantile community and of the large civil and
military establishments of India, and the development of the sources
of wealth of that country which must arise from itsimproved internal
communication by the' railways projected and now in progress there,
will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the
Bank at its different branches.
The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage-
ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries
so distant as India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter-
course now existing between these two countries.
The certainty and rapidity of this communication will be farther
increased by the new lines of railway now in progress on the conti-
nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of the electric and
sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies
already in operation.
Arrangements are in progress to secure to this Company the co•
operation and support of some of the largest native merchants of
India, which will extend the operations of the Bank amongst that
class of the Indian community.'
Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and to the
Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia-
bility of the Shareholders, and power will be taken to increase the
capital of the Company to 2,000,0001. sterling, In Which event the
new shares will, in the first ißtance, be saflerecV for distribution
amongst the existing Shiatehollers;" and 'such other liartie. as, from
their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered
likely to extend the business of the Bank.
The arrangements tor the constitution of this Company are now
nearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board
of Directors, will be pablished in a few days.
In the meantime, further information may be obtained at the
temporary Offices of the Company, No. 4, Adam's-court, Old Broad-
street, City.

The Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway will be the great connect-
ing link between the lines of France, Belgium, and Germany at one
end, and of Holland at the other, and will form a direct intercom-
munication with the railways of Central and Southern Europe for
the inhabitants of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the Hague.
It is proposed to effect this national benefit by means of a railway
from the Government station at Antwerp to the Meuse at Rodevart,
a length of about thirty-five miles, in connexion with a steam-boat
service from thence to Rotterdam, a distance of about sixteen miles,
until a railway—for which surveys are in progress—is decided upon.
In the interval, the steam-boat service is wholly in an inland or river
navigation, passengers and goods will be transferred at a railway
wharf is deep water, at Rodevart, so that the journey between Ant-
werp and Rotterdam will be easily and comfortably accomplished in
about three hours, instead of occupying ten hours as at present—the
fares beinz less than half the present cost.
The district to be traversed by this line comprises the best of the
Polders of Belgium and Holland, which are of a remarkable richness
and fertility. Its dense population enjoys a high condition of wealth
and comfort. Whilst the numbers per square mile in Belgium, Eng-
land, and France, are respectively—Belgium, 382 Great Britain,
231 ; France, 170 ; the census of the inhabitants located on het three
hundred and sixty square miles adjacent to this line gives a tal of
291,730 persons, or about 840 per square mile—more than double the
general average ofßelgtum.
The branch to Breda, in length about fourteen miles, will secure
the traffic from Bois le-Due, Tilheurg, and a large range of fertile
country, from which the old and main roads converge towards and
unite at Breda.
This line has long been considered one of the most important and
profitable sections of the Dutch and Belgian systems of railway, and
has been the object of protracted negotiations between the two Go-
vernments. The concession for the portion of the line in Holland,
whch is about three-fourths of the whole, was signed by the King of
Holland on the 21st July last. For the five leagues of the line in the
Kingdom of Belgum, a convention has been signed by the Minister
of Public Works, which on'y awaits the meeting of the Legislative
Chambers to receive a formal ratification. A convention between
the two kingdoms, to establisit this line of communication, has re-
ceived the Royal assent in both countries, and was formally ex-
changed on the 4th of last month (see the " Moniteur Beige" of the
14th August, 1852.)
The Concession is for ninety years, and the tariff for passengers
and goods is similar to that of the Belgian State Rsilways.
This Company is based upon a contract already concluded with a
responsib e contractor, Mr. George Wythes, of Reigate, by which he
undertakes to purchase the land, and construct the bridges, works
of art and stations for a double line ; and to execute the earthworks
for, and lay down and complete, a single line of rails ; as well as
to provide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops. Provision is
also made for the payment, by the contractor, of all preliminary
and incidental expenses, including the cost of the concession, and
also of interest, half-yearly, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum,
upon the capital called up, until the opening of the line, which
is expected to take place in less than two years from the date of
the concession. The whole outlay of capital will thus be covered
by the contract price of 500,0001., or about 10,0001. per mile, for
which fixed suns the shareholders will become possessed of a line
of railway with most favourable gradients and curves, complete and
ready for opening.
As regards the prospects of traffic, it may be observed that the
average gross receipts of the Belgian state railways for the year
1858, as published in the Government statistical returns, amounted
to 1,7101 per mile, which in this case, would give a profit of up-
wards of 10 per cent. on the guaranteed cost of 10,0601. per mile.
It is apparent, however, that the receipts on this line may be ex-
pected to exceed the average of the 360 mites of Belgian St^te rail-
ways. First, because the local population in the district traversed
is more than twice as dense as the general average of Belgium, and in
a c mdition of greater prosperity. Second, because the line forms a
direct prolongation of the railway from Brussels to Antwerp, which
is probably the most productive section of railway in Europe—pro-
ducing an average receipt of about 6,0001. per mile per annum.
Third, because this line, from its position, must command the greater
part of the through traffic between Holland, Belgium, France, and
the South of Europe—the extent of which may be judged of from the
fact that the value of the merchandise transported to and fro be
tween Be'gium and Holland amounted in the year 1850 to a value
of 4,429,9891., which was in great part received at, and sent from,
Antwerp. These statements are based upon the annual publication
of the details of foreign commerce, made by the Belgian Minister of
Finance.
Under the form of a " Societe Anon 3 me," the Shareholder's
liability is limited to his "holding." The capital will be represented
by 50,000 share& of 101. each, of which 20,000 shares aro already
taken in Holland, Belgium, and France. By the terms of the
statutes of the " Societe," the certificates of the shares wig be issued
" to bearer."

Hutchinson and Sons, 39, Lothbury, and to Messrs. Foster and
Braithwaite, 68, Old Broad-street, and any further information may

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearfel
consequences resulting from irregularities and
adation excessesin, which
Man-
have produced more misery in degr
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of mede both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
