Duties last year is stated to have been £221.500. and an in-
crease is expected. In the event of anydeficienoy, the amount
is to be made good by a further special hypothecation of the

1. This Company has been formed for the purpose of purchas-
ing and extending the well known and valuable business,
hitherto carried on by prmate capitalists. under the firm of
"The Millwell Ironworks and Sh pbuilding Company."
2. The capabilities of the Millwall establishm lit for the pro-
duction of every class of iron work are unsurpassed. The
engineers' shops are furnished wit h the most complete mo-
dern machinery adapted for the construction of marine en-
gines of h'gh 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 perfect working con Ation, inclnding all the latest im-
provements.
3. These mills and forges alone are, from their capacity and
efficiency, of great value; and when take, 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 7,0 tons of finished iron.
4. Upon the ship-building yard, which possesses a frontage
to the River Thames of 1,750 feet, there ,s capaeity for laying
down 15,000 tons of shipping. It comprises a new and care-
fully-pile doe.: tin which the armour-clad frigate Northum-
berland, 6,620 tons,is now being() nstructed for her Majesty's
Governments, with all necessary appliances for shiobuilding.
5. In addition to Ships being constructed for the British
Government, the Italian Government, the Royal Mail Sisam
Packet Company. the Intercolonial Roy .1 Mail S cam Packet
Company, the Ottoman Government, and private merchants,
twelve screw steamships with their engines are under con-
tract.
6. The Company has alsopurchased the Britannia Graving
or' Dry Dock, now in efficient working, and the adjoining land,
called Fergusson's Mast-pond, containing space for two dry
docks of 470 and 350 feet respectively.
7. The operations of the Company will be condirted by Mr.
George Harrison, whose great experience and abilities will
be du voted exclusively to the interests of this company, and
and as the whole of the valuable roperty has been ceded to
the Company upon terms which are onsidered highly ad-
vantageous, the result of the undert tking may be considered
as assured.
8. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the de-
posit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares
be a lotted han are applied for, the deposit will b made
avai able towards the payment on allotment, •.nd the balance
if any, returned to the app .leant.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares, in the
form annexed, may be obtained t the temporary offices of
the Company, 81, King William-street ; at the offices4of the
Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), 21, Threadneedle.

and Messrs. G. H. and A. T. Jay, 15, Tokenhouse-yard.

PROSPECTUS.
This Company is now erecting a first-class family fiotel,
uL on the extensive ireehuld grounds of more than an acre in
extent formerly belonging. to Clarence-house, the purchase
of which has recently b a
een comp
tulete I by the -Directors.
The grounds occupy comm ding area in the entre of the
Marine-parade, tacit, g the sea, and having toe noble Ca tle
and extensive for ifications in picturesque contiguity.
Prom the existing want of hotel accommodation of a resi-
dential character in the fashionable part of Dover it is reason-
able to suppose that the Clarence Hotel will be filled with
visitors throu4hout the year, and the Directors are confident
that it will pay very large dividends ti the shareholders.
The Company's architect Mr. Whichcord, his been su,cess-
ful in producing plans tor the, buildings proposed to be erected.
which so thoroughly combine NI chiteotural symmetry and
a nple accommodation with extreme simplicity of co struc-
tion as to have afforded the Directors the highest satisfaction
in adopting th m.
The erection of this Hotel has been undertaken by Mr.
Lewis Glenton, with whom the Directors have concluded a
very favourable contract for the purpose. Mr. Glenton's
position as a contractor for large works, and notably as the
constructor of the Grand Hotel at Brighton, now rapidly ap-
proaching completion, affords a most complete guarantee for
ex, ellence of workmanship and punctua uy in comptetion,
and the Directors esteem themselves fortunate in having
effected an arrangement so calculated to serve the Company'
interests.
The first stone of the Hotel was laid at the close of the past
year t.y the Chairman of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Cony any, and the works are now in full progress.
A considerable portion of he Company's capi al has been
already subscribed, and the remaining shares are now offered
to the public. to whom, as a sound investment, the undertak-
ing is cordially commended.
Interest at the rate of £5 per cent. per annum will be
allowed upon all calls previous to the opening of
together with
the Article of Assoc ation, may be seen at the Company's
offices, 38. Cannon-street, E.C.
Fcrms for application for shares may be also obtained at
the offices of the Company,

This Company has been formed for the purpose of making
and maintaining telegraphic lines of commuthe nication, both
submarine and on land, in every part of world.
The facility of intercourse which telegraphic communi-
cation now, in such extensive operation, has afforded to the
public in its varied communities—Political, Commercial,
and Social—has rendered that which was, but a few years
ago, ago, regarded merely as a scientific experiment, absol
necessary for the purposes of our social system, and a
highly remunerative investment. It has been found that,
develop
ed
stantly increasing traffic, with this remarkable and speci
con-
al
feature, that the more distant the points brought into
nexion, the greater the proportion of business done
the
from
Experience has proved that increasing receipts a
working of submarine cables bring with them only
trifling proportionate increase in the amount of working
expenses.
Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company and the GuttaPercha
Company have hitherto together had the principal share in
the manufacture of submarine telegraphic cables.
The former firm, who have undertaken the manufacture,
laying down, and maintenance of the cables, have hitherto
obtained the inner cores of the cables from the Gutta
Percha Company, which has, in this branch of its trade,
confined itself entirely to the production of that part of the
cable.
Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company have, during the last
ten years, manufactured and laid down in different parts
of the world no less than 6,500 miles of Submarine Tele-
graph Cable, whilst the Gutta Percha Company have, dur-
ing a like period, manufactured upwards of 9,000 miles of
insulated wires for Submarine Telegraph Cables now in
work.
It has been ascertained that the manufacture of entire
cables could be more securely and beneficially carried on
by uniting in one establishment the manufacture of the
outer cable and wires, and the execution of the portion of
the work heretofore separately executed by the Gate Percha
Company,and with this view contracts have been entered into
for the purchase of the entire machinery, premises. plant,
patent, stock, goodwill, &c., of the Gutta Percha Company,
by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company ; and that firm haveo
agreed to transfer to this Company, at the cost price t
them, the work so acquired. A contract has also been con-
cluded with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company, for the
acquisition, by this Company, of their manufactory,
premises, patents, stock, and business, the consideration
being paid, to the extent of £lOO,OOO, in fully paid up
Shares of the Company. Under these combined arrange-
ments the Company will enter into possession of the atnal-
gamated business and be entitled to their profits as from the
Ist of January last.
The Company's business will be conducted under the
personal superintendence of Mr. Barclay and Mr. Glass, as
managing directors, assisted by the efficient staff of the
united Compenies.
The agreement with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company
provides for the assignment, with the consent of the Trea-
sury, to the Company of the lease held by that firm of the
Submarine Telegraph between Malta and Alexandria. The
Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez Telegraph, held b
with the
y Messrs.
Glass, Elliot, and Company under agreement
rised in the
Telegraph to India Company is also comp
arrangement.
The large profits which have hitherto been realised by
bAh of the above firms, and the prospect which exists ot
considerable extension of the business, justify the expecte.-
tion of a large return to the Shareholders, independently of
the profits arising from the working of the telegraph lines
above referred to.

The grrat Trunk Railway from Vienna, In the direction ok
the frontier of Moldavia, is at present complete as far as
Lemberg. Ti.e communication is effected by means of two
lines. The first being te Northern Railwy, from V,enna
to Cracow ; the second, a L
the Carl-Ludwig Raway, 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 continuance of the line through 1110 davia to Galatz,
on the Danube 'for which a concession has recently been
obTtahiensP
granted by the Chambers of the Priecipaliti.‘s), must neces-
sarily add largely to the profits of the Lemberg-Czernowitz
Railway, which will thus form an inte 'Tel r art 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 commenc,ment of the works previous to the
i ith January, 1165, and for their comp'etion within three
years ; but provision is made for extension if these periods
in ca' e ot political or financial crisis.
The Government guarantee a fixed sum of £150,000 in silver
money as a net annual revenue of the line.
The sum thus guaranteed by the Government, after pro-
viding for the payment ot interest at 5 per cent. on the
Bonds, and for an annual sinking fund, will leave a clear 7 per
cent. applicable to the share capital. The sinking fund will
be annually applied by lot to the redemption of the Bonds
and Shares at par. The proprietors of the Shares thus, from
time to time, redeemed will, for each share, receive a certifi-
cate entitling the bearer to a participation, during the re-
maining term of the concession, in all the profits of the Com-
pany exceeding 5 per cent. on the original capital,

This contract provides for the construction of the rai way
in accordance with the terms of the concession, and for stock-
in the same with r Bing stock, It includes all the preli-
rarnary 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 cen . per
annum ; and it covers an ample reserve for the expenses
of management until the railway shall be opened for public
traffic.
The concession confers the requisite power to form a So-

PROSPECTUS.
China is the only large c nutty in the c'vilised world which
has no direct bank in London operating solely for its benefit;
and it is obvious that a vast fertile region, inhabited by 30u
millions of intelligent people, wh carry on an enormous in-
ternal trade by means of native joint-stook and private banks
of issue.,, and who have an extensive and increasing
.com-
mercial intercourse with Europe, India, America and
Australia, must present a lucrative field tor monetary ope-
rations.
Great Britain imports from China and Japan (via China
upwards of 7,000,0001 b. of silk and about 120,0),0001b. of tea.
The rapid it crease of trade is thus shown:—
Imports Exports to Total trade be-
Years. of China China of British twe. n(hi I+ and
Produce. Manufactures. United Kingdom.
1842....£3,956,290 .. £969,381 .... £4,925,671
1862.... 11,376,150 .. 5,310,036 .... 16,694,185
The commerce between India and China has increased
during the past 20 years from three to 15 millions sterling.
The port of Shan., hal aloe exhibits an extraordinary de-
velopment. In 1842 it had no European trade; in 18,52 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 item or
trade; during the last six mont s of 1863 more than
20,000,0001 b. were exported.
The Imperial Bank of China has therefore been formed to
supply n acknowledged want on the plan which has been so
successfully carried out in London by the bail. s for India and
other similar institutions, the success of which the following
tAble will exemplify, and it is believed at least equal success
will mark the progress of this bank:—

The Imperial B nk of China will transact all operations
connected with those of a bank of Issue, deposit, discount, and
exchange.
The directing and controllin authority will be in London.
g
Branch Banks, with boards of local directors, will be formed
at Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, Foochow, Tientsin, Pekin,
and at such other cities as may from time to time be deemed
advisable. Thc branches 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 anks, and the
authorisation of the Government of Pekia has been solicited
to al ow the spec,e 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 1 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
t hina what the Imperial Ottoman Bank is to that of
Turkey.
The desire on the part of the Government of China fo-z
railways and telegraphic communication will render neces-
sary extensive financial operations, which the Imperial
Ban' o 2 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 tess number of tliates be
al fatted than are applied for, the deposit will be made avail-
able to the payment on allotment, and the balance, if
any, returned to the applicant.
