special hypothecation of the whole export duties leviable at
the ports of tne Republic, La Guayra, Puerto Cabello, Mara-
caibo, and Ciudad Bolivar. These are warranted by the Go-
vernment as wholly uncharged (or that, if any claims can be
substantiated, they shall be met out of the proceeds of the
Loan), and as producing more than sufficient to meet the
charge of the present Loan. The produce of the Export
Duties last year is stated to have been £221,500, and an in-
crease is expected. In the event of any deficiency, the amount
is to be made good by a further special hypothecation of the
uncharged import duties at all the ports of Venezuela.

lection of the 'Juries o hypothecated by her tt ajesty's Consuls

ment of the interest and redemption o' the debt, as follows :
£90,000 to be applied in the first instance to the paymentof

£30,000 to a sinking fund ; this amount being augmented
periodically by the interest on bonds that shall have been
bought up or redeemed.

1. This Company has been formed for the purpose of purchas-
ing and extending the well known and valuable business,
hitherto carried on by pr vate capitalists, under the firm of
" The Millwall Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company."
2. The capabilities of the Millwall establishm ,nt for the pro-
duction of every class of iron work are unsurpassed. The
engineers' shops are furnished with the most complete 1119-
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 pertect working condiiion, including all the latest im-
provements.
3. These mills and forges alone are, from their capacity and
efficiency, of great value; and when taker. in conjunction
with the ship building yard, present a combination for pr )-
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 7LO tons of finished iron.
4. Upon the ship-building yard, which possesses a frontage
to the River Thames of 1.750 feet, there ,s capacity for laying
down 15,000 tons of shipping. It comprises a new and care-
fully-00 dock (in which the armour-clad frigate Northum-
berland, 6,620 tons, is now being c .nstructed for her Majesty's
Government., with all necessary appliances for shipbuilding.
5. In addition to Ships being constructed for the British
Government, the Italian Government, the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company, the Intercolonial Royal Mail Seam Packet
Company, the Ottoman Government, and private merchants,
twelve screw steamships with their engines are under con-
tract,
O. The Company has also purchased the Britannia Graving
or' Dry Deck, now in efficient working, and the adjoining land,
called Ferausson's Mast-pond, containing space for two dry
docks of 470 and 350 feet respectively.
7. The operations of the Company will be conducted by Mr.
George Harrison, whose great experience and abilities will
be devoted exclusively to the interests of this company, and
and as the whole of the valuable 1 roperty has been ceded to
the Company upon terms which are considered highly ad-
vantageous, the result of the undert _king may be cons dered
, as assured.
8. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the de-
-1 posit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares
be a lotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made
avatable towards the payment on allotment, and the balance
if any, returned to the app,icant.

The great Trunk Railway from Vienna, in the direction of
the frontier of Moldavia, is at present complete es far as
Lemberg. Tt•e communication is effected by means ,A' two
lines. The first being the Northern Railway, from Vienn.
to Cracow; the second, the Carl-Ludwig Rahway, from
Cracow to Lemberg•
The first of these lines pays about 14 per cent. upon its
capital. The second was completed only at the end of 1861.
but since its opening has paid 8 per cent. upon its capital, and
consequently has never required to claim the guarantee of 5
per cent. accorded to it by the Austrian Government.
The present line is the continuation from Lemberg to
Czernowitz, near the Moldavian frontier. The concession has
been granted by the Austrian Government on terms un-
usually favourable to the company undertaking it.
The proposed railway, enter ng into the heart of the grain
and cattle-producing district whence the Carl-Ludwig line
obtains its most Important traffic, and being constructed at a
very considerably less cost, promises tai be more profitable
than its neighbour.
The continuance of the line through Mo'davia to Galatz,
on the Danube 'for which a concession has recently been
granted by the Chambers of thenPrips), must neces-
sarily add largely to the profits f the Lemberg-Czernowit z
Railway, which will thus form an integral cart in an un-
broken and direct railway Communication between the Baltic,
the German Ocean, and the Black Sea.
The concession, the duration of which is ninety years, sti-
pulates for the commencement of the works previous to the
i ith January, 1t65, and for their completion within three
years ; but provision is made for extension of these periods
in case of political or financial crisis.
The Government guarantee a fixed sum of £150,000 in silver
ts
:Iscesti
th
money as a net annual revenue of the line.
The sum thus guaranteed by the Government, after pro-
viding for the payment of interest at 5 peg cent• on the
Bonds, and for an annual sinking Lund, will leave a clear 7 per
be annually applied by lot to the redemption of the Bonds
and Shares at par. The proprietors of the Shares thus, from

A contract, which wilt be adopted by the Company, has
been entered into by the 00neessionaires with Mr. Brassey
for a sum of £2,450,000.
This contract provides for the construction of the rai way
in accordance with the terms of the concession, and for stock-
ing the same with rolling stock. It includes all the preli-
minary expenses of acquiring the concession and forming
the Company ; it makes provision for interest during con-
struction on paid-up capital at the rate of 6 per cent, per

PROSPECTUS.
China is the only large c untry in the civilised world which
has no direct 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 enormous 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 ior monetary ope-
rations.
Great Britain imports from China and Japan (via China)
upwards of 7,000,0001 b. of silk and about 120,00J,00J1b. of tea.
Tue rapid increase of trade is thus shown :

1862.... 11,376,150 .. 5,310,036 .... 16,694,186 "1"
The commerce between India and China has increased
during the pest 20 years from three to 15 millions sterling.
The port of Shanhai alo Je exhibits an extraordinary de-
velopment. In 1842 it had no European trade; in 1812 the
va ue of its exports was £14,667,466, 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 185,, £102,316; in
1862, £3 4, 8 397. Cotton is now becoming a large stern of
trade; during the last six mont s 01 1803 more than
20,090,0001 b. were exported. .

The Imperial Bank of China has therefore been formed to
supply -a 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 ,ble will exemplify, and it is believed at least equal sumss
will mark the progress of this bank;—

Name of Bank.

The Imperial B ink of China will transact all operations
connected with those of a bank of issue, deposit, discount, and
exchange.
The directing and controlling authority will be in London.
Branch Banks, with boar,ts of local directors, will be formed
at llong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, Foochow, Tientsin, Pekin,
and at such other cities as may from time to time be deemed.
advisable. Thcbranches will be under the control of the Lon-
don board, aided by the supervision of an inspector-general,
as in the case with the Indian and Colonial auks, and the
authorisation of the Government of Pekin has been solicited
to al ow the specie notes of the Imperial Bank of China to be
received in payment of custom duties and at the tax offices
throughout the empire, an offiA 4.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 foe
railways and telegraphic communication will render neces-
sary extensive financial operations, which the Imperial
Ban, of China will be pecu iarly favourably situated to un-
dertake.
Applications for shares to be made in the annexed form.
In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the deposit
will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be
al otted than are applied for, the deposit wil' be made avail-
able towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if
any, returned to the applicant.

TEETH,-Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
JL the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following. advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist They are not so 'liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
