PROSPECTUS.

This company is for ine7-IwTilithespecial object of uniting
into one strong institution, with its chief office in London,
numerous small local and colonial institutions, requiring
con solidat on and, additional strength and resource.
The principle of so uniting small colonial institutions has
been most successfully applied to colonial and foreign bank-
ing companies ; and as London is becoming daily more and
more the great "clearing house" of the commercial world,
the different colonial insurance offices have experienced the
absolute neces,ity of being effectually represented there, and
tais representation they now realise can only be ful y secured,
as in the case of the colonial local banks, through amalga-
mation with some London company of ample means and com-
manding general confidence.
The directors of the Home and Colonial Company have
been applied to by shar.rholdera in these companies to estab-
lish sue London institution, and are now in treaty wi h
several very successful colonial insurance offices, either for
entire amalgamation, on very favourable terms, or for that
beneficial reciprocity of agency which will at once secure to
the Home and Colonial Assurance company a most valuable,
sale, and lucrative business as a co-operative assurance com-
pany.
It may be mentioned, as indicative of the success of the
colonial insurance companies, that their selling prices
range from I',o to as high as 1,000 per cent. premium, and
the increase of insurance business in the Australian, South
African, Canadian, and Easte-n settlements is at a rate of
progress which has no parallel in European countries.
The princip.e of assuring investments made through 'he
comp ny's agency—a principle so ucces4ully carried out by
colonial offices—will enter as anew feature into he objects of
the "Home and Colonial Assurance C mpany ;" and as in
i s numerous agencies in all parts it will possess pecu;iar
facilities for making assured investments for individuals in
sound foreign and colonial securities, the Directors confi-
dently anticipate, from the agency and insurance charges in
this department of their business, a very large and steady
revenue to their shareholders.
While, however, the Home and Colonial Assurance Com-
pany will specially direct its attention to foreign and colo-
nial business, it will not nelcct at the same time to cultivate
a home business—a department which will be greatly fos-
tered through its colonial connection. It will also, as a Fire
Assurance Company, share in that large increase of fire in-
surance business here, which may be expected to follow the
anticipated abolition of the heavy and impolitic stamp tax
at present imposed on i•olicies of insurance.
No promotion money given in connection with this Com-
pany, and the Directors' remuneration to be left to the share-
holders.
Applications for hares to be made in the folowing form,
copies of which and of the prospectus to be had of the solici •
tors, or brokers, or acting secretary of the company.

Temporary Offices, 1, East India-avenue, London,
April 6, 1804.

The grc at Trunk Railway from Vienna, in the direction of
the frontier of Moldavia, is at present complete as far as
Lemberg. T, e communication is effected by means of two
lines. The first being the Northern Railway, from Vienna
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
Czernowit z, 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 Cart-Ludwig line
obtains its most important traffic, and being constructed at a
very considerably less cost, promises to be more profitable
than its neighbour.
The continuance of the line through ISlo.dayia to Galatz,
on the Danube 'for which a c3neession has recently been
granted by the Chambers of the Principalities), must neces-
sarily add lar-,ely to the profits of the Lemberg-Czernowitz
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 commence ment of the works previous to the
ith January, 1165, and for their completion within three
years ; but provision is made for extension ef these periods
in case of political or financial crisis.
The Government guarantee a fixed sum of L 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 of 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.
A contract, which wilt be adopted by the Company, has
been entered into by the concessionaires with Mr. Brassey
for a sum of £2,450,000.
This contract provides for the construction of the railway
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
struction on paid.up capital at the rate of 6 per ten'.

From the Times, March 28. —" It is not often that we light
upon a new novel of so much merit and interest as ' Barbara's
History.' It is a very graceful and charming book, with a
well managed story, clearly cut characters, and sentiments
expressed with an exquisite elocution. The dialogues espe-
cially sparkle with repartee. It is a book which the world
will like, and which those who commence it will care to finish.
This is high praise of a work of art, and so we intend it."
