The progress of Mauritius, as the chief seat of the produc-
tion ot 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 ot a Land Mortgage Bank or
Credit Foncier.
The following table of the exports of sugar from Mauritius
gives the best prof of this progress, and shows how firmly
the prosperity of the colony is now established :
Tons.

1852
1853
1854
1855
1856
1857
1858
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 irrigation, and with the establishment of railroads,
which are in course ot execution, and will be partially open
to traffic in the early part of this year.
At the present rate of production the annual value of the
sugar crop may be taken at £3,001,000, and the fee-siniple
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 ot interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal
to 10 per cent. per annum, or 8 per cent. interest, with 2 per
cent. co ntnission, 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 Foncier,
It is the same as that of the French Code Civil, and a law
providing a simple and effective reg,istration 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-
blish a branch there.
The Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank were of opinion
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 subs riptions
ot their Bank were invited, it was thought better to raise a
separate capital and constitute anew Company, which, while
connected with the Mortgage 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 an office
and establishment in London will be diminished by mutually
advantageous arrangemen ts.
A deposit of £2 is payable on allotment, and calls by in-
stalments up to £lO per share will be made, after which it is
intended to issue Bonds.
The Articles of Association lie at the offices of the Solici-
tors for inspection.
Applications may be made in the annexed form, addressed
to the Offices of the Land Mortgage Bank of India (Limited),
Change-alley, or to the Brokers.

The objects of this Company are th; manufacture of certain
Chemicals and Manure.
The Directors have secured valualte works, situated at a
convenient distance from London, and expressly erected for
the manufacture of the before-namedarticles, there being on
the premises at present chambers, stem-engines, plant, and
utensils sufficient for the preparationof a considerable quan-
tity ; but this is susceptible of being greatly increased by the
addition of fresh machinery. &C.
The advantages afforded by rail ani water carriage render
the situation tf the works peculiarll adapted to a large and
profitable trade, whilst the demand, which h well known to
exist on a large scale for the descrip ton of articles proposed
to be manufactured by this Company, affords a safe invest-
ment for capital, promising a returnbf at least twenty per
cent.
The business proposed to be earned on by this Company
may almost be said to be free from ask, as the manufacture
of such chemicals is simple, the raw materials readily obtain-
able, the manufactured articles in gloat and daily increasing
demand, and the proceeds of all sales guaranteed by a respon-
sible agent appointed by the Compiny, who has already an
old-established connection.
A considerable number of shares have already been sub-
scribed for.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained at the offices of the Company, No. 22, Great St.
Helen's, or at the brokers, Messrs. Scrutton and Son, 81, Old
Broad-street.
In reply to numerous inquiries relative to the Chemicals
above reterred to, thf y are principally those used in Lanca-
shire and Scotland, for blea:hing, dying, and printing cot-
ton goods, namely, tartaric acid, citric acid, oxalic mid, oil
of vitriol, ttc.
