G.. 1. EVEN PER CENT. BOLIVIAN GOVERN-
MENT LOAN, for £1,010,000 sterling.
To be issued in builds of £lOO, £4OO, and £5OO each, at 88

per cent.

The bonds will bear interest at 7 per cent. per annum,
p%yable half-yearly at the London and County Bank.
The loan will be redeemed in 25 yetrs by an accumulating
sinking fund, commencing at 2 per cent, on 15th March,

1866.
The bonds will be drawn by lot yearly, and paid off at par.
Issued through the agency of the London and County

Bank.

By virtue of a decree of the Legislative Assembly of the
Repblio of Bolivia (Upper Peru), passed at Oruro on the 3d
June, 1863, authorising the contraction of a loan, his Ex-
cellency Don Jose Maria de Ache, the Constitutional Pre-
sident, has appointed Don Avelino Aaramayo as Fiscal
Agent for this purpose, and has empowered him to borrow
the sum of One Million sterling on the credit of the said
Republic.
The total amount authorised to be raised by the aforesaid
decree is £1,500,000 sterling, of which £1,000,000 only will
be raised at present. The remainder will be offered in the
course of next year to the then holders of the bonds of the
present issue.
The price of issue is £BB per £lOO bond, bearing an annual
interest of 7 per cent. commencing from the 15th day of
March inst., and payable at the London and County Bank,
in London, on the 15th day of Men ch and the 15th day of
September in each year until final redemption.
The loan will be payable at the London and County
Bank by instalments, at the following dates :
£5 per cent. on application.
£lO „ on allotment.
£lO „ 15th April.
£l5 ~ 16th May.
£lO „ 16th June.
£l5 „ 15th July.
£l5 „ 15th August.
£8 „ 15th September, less the dividend of
31 per cent.

£BB
Discount at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be
allowed on prepayments in full, but in default of due
payment of the respective instalments, all previous pay-
ments will be liable to forfeiture.
The bonds will be redeemed at par by a sinking fund,
commencing from 15th March, 1866. They will be drawn
annually at the London and County Bank by lot in the
usual manner; the numbers of the bonds so drawn will be
notifed by public advertisement, and the bonds themselves
paid off at the par of £100,:on presentation fifteen days
after the drawing.
The objects of the loan are strictly industrial. The pro-
ceeds will be applied to the formation of a credit establish-
ment at Potosi to assist exclusively the mining interests of
the State, to the construction of bridges, roads, and other
public works, with a view to develop the vast mineral
wealth, the guano trade, and the commercial resources of
the country generally.
For the due payment of the interest on this loan, and the
redemption of the principal, the Government of the Re-
public, over and above all its other resources,have specially
hypothecated the proceeds of the guano deposits, as well as
the revenues accruing from the customs of the port of
Cobija and the towns of Oruro and La Paz.
These special revenues, which amount to about £150,000
per annum, are not, nor have ever been, encumbered with
any lien, and the present loan will constitute, therefore, the
only charge thereon.
The Republic has no external debt. The internal debt
does not exceed half a million sterling, and this the Govern-
ment intend to extinguish next year by the remaining issue
of this loan.
The Government of Bolivia has covenanted to remit an-
nually to the London and County Bank the sum equal to 9
per cent. on the nominal amount of the bonds now to be
issued, as provision for the interest and sinking fund. A
sufficient amount to provide for the interest payable daring
the first two years will be left in the hands of the London
and County Bank.
The sinking fund will be yearly augmented by the addi-
tion of the amounts saved in interest on the bonds progres-
sively paid off, and the redemption of the entire debt will
be effected by the year 1889.
A. payment of 5 per cent, must be made on the amount
applied tor, to the London and County Bar.k, 21, Lombard-
street.
After allotment, scrip certificates will be issued to
"bearer;" these certificates will be exchanged for bonds to
"bearer" of £lOO, £2OO, and £ iOO each, after payment of
the final instalment. Coupons will be attached to the bonds,
payable inMarch and September, at the London and County
Bank.
The documents relating to the authorisation of this loan,
with notarial translations thereof, may be inspected at the
London and County Bank.
Applications for the loan will be received by the London
and County Bank, 21, Lombard-street ; or by Messrs.
Seymourand Co., Brokers, 38, Throgmorton-street, of whom
prospectuses may be obtained. The subscription list will
be closed on the 23d inst. at Four o'clock.

Of all securities or property float can come wider the deno-
mination of " first-class, ' both tor stability as well as in-
creasing. in value year by year, none can at all compare with
Freehold or long Leasehold city of London operty, espe-
cially that portion situated within a radius ot 1,000 yards of
the Bank of England ; this fact is so well known that the
greatest competition is excited when any property of this de-
scription is oficred in the market, and lar2e as the rise in
value of such property has been dnfng.; the last few years, it
is admitted by all sonve, sant with the subject that a still
greater increase must continue to take place, from the im-
possibility of supplying the suitable ao, ommodation re-
quired by joint-stock companies and commercial and p:ofes-
sio nal firms.
The C.ty Offices Company, Limited, have aereed for the
purchase of the undermentioned sites of land, with the build-
ings thereon ; which, for eligibility of situation and size of
each block, are such as can rarely be acquired—as the follow-
ing enumeratam will amply p.ove ; they are in five blo ks,
viz. : —A, B, C, D, and E.
Block A consists of the Freehold Premises, 25, 25A, 26, 27,
in Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, with No. 9, 10, and 11, in
Nag's Head-court. and 3,4, and 5, Church-court, the whole
forming a magnificent block of premises, with lights, and
entrances on three sides, and extending back to Gracechurda-
street ; it has 61 feet frontage and 150 death, and contains
9,900 square superficial feet, and is the largest block so
near Lombard-street that, has been in the market 'or some
years.
Block T 1 consists of the well-known Levehold block of
New Offices, situ ted 29, Leadenhal -street, nearly op-
posite the Peninsular and Ord, ni rt, Company's Office, and
extending back to Lime-street-square ; it has been erected
withAa the ad three years, from the designs of John Which-
cord, E ,q., and contains 120 firs -class Offices, with Four
Shoos, the who e let to first-class Merchants and others ;
it ha • fire-proof corridors and stone st creases, and possesses
the most modern Improvements, iecludin,g Telegraph Sta-
tion, Buffet,Sze., in thebuilding. The lease is for 91 ye rs, at a
ground-rent of £7OO per annum; it has a frontage of 60 f, et,
and 17d feet in depth, and contains 11,030 square superficiai
feet.
B'ock C consists of th 2, h indsome ed,T:es erected within
the 'ast seven years, from d-sl,4ns by John B ,rnett, Esq.,
archit et, for Messrs. John Sarl and tons, si versrnichs, and
situated 17 and is, Corr hi 1, directly opposi e the Bank of
Eng and, and a:ike for e'egan'e of buildiug as well as ,itua-
ttou erh apa the most desirable In the City. With a very
trifling outlay then ,in accord ince wit.i the plans and designs
origin ally m ice, will be converted in about three into
Offices, and wo-thildc ot the building has a ready been let,
the ground floor and mez eine floor bring rented by the
Cr6dit Mobilier ant Cr6dit Fonder Companies. These Pre-
mises are Leasehold fvr 6) years, at a ground-rent of £6lO
per annum.
Bloc: 1) consists of the new and substantial block of
Offices, erected within the last three years, and are built in
the most übstanci e manner. It contains fifty-five offices, be-
sides vaults, the whole, excepting four, being let, and offers
being made for these. It is Preeho d. has a frontage of 52
feet and depth of SO feet, and contains 4,160 superficial square
feet, and is situated a' 6', Great Tower-street, near Mark-

lace.
Block E is the largest block in the City; it is situated in
Bishopsgate-street, opposite St. Helen's-place, with a
thorou htsre to be got through to Old Broad-street, and in
the centre of the block adjoins Gre,ham House ; it contains
25,, 00 square feet. It may be convenient to give an idea 01
the size of this fine site of land, to say that it is more than
four times the size of the Auction Hart, lately sold, and when
covered will be among the largest and most conveniently ar-
ranged Offices in the City. This plot is Leasehold for 99
years, at a ground rent of £4,000 per annum.
The price at which the City Offices Company (Limited) has
agreed for the purchase of the whole of the before enume-
rated five blocks is .£365,000, including all buildings thereon;
this price gives, after adding thereto the cost of purchasing
the freehold f the whole of the leasehold portions, and de-
ducting the value of the new buildings thereon, an average
price of only £0 per square foot, which, compared with the
prices paid for the three last properties within six weeks,
gives the following results, viz. :
Tho Auction Mart (Freehold), containing an area of about
5,80 , square foot, cost £115,25
per foot
The Leasehold Premises, No. 80, Lombard-street, occupied
by the Colonial Insurance Compan.y, containing only 1,080
feet, sold to a well-known Banker for £30,000, subject to a
, which gives an average of £2O
ground-rent of £5OO per annum, for 61 years, which, &low-
ing as in former caloulations for purchase of freehold, and
deducting the value of new buildings thereon, gives £37 per
square foot.
The Leasehold Premises in Finch-lane, lately occupied by
the London and Middlesex Bank, containing only 6,0 feet,
realised £10,0; 0, and this subject to a ground-rent of £5
per annum, which, allow
no- tor purchase of freehold, and
dedwaing value of new building, gives about £3O per square
foet.
It will be seen, therefore, that if large profits can be rea-
lised, as they undoubtedly Can be, on land costing .£O, £0
profits of those acquired by this Com-
pany, costing only £9
per foot, will be evident at first sight ; if they were re-sold
at even the lowest of these three quotations, it would leave
the City Offices Company (Limited) a very large profit onthe
cost. prospects and probable

The Company's plan of operations will consist in adapting
such of these premises as may be suitable, and erecting new
buildings on the remainder, the whole to be let off as Offices
suitable for Banks, large Companies. or Commercial and
Professional Firms ; and from calculations made, based upon
moderate rentals, a return of from 15 to 20 per cent. on the
outlay may be fairly retied on. The Company will also from
time to time acquire other properties, as the opportunities
present themselves, fur the purpose of re-sale or otherwise.
By the issue of Debentures or otherwise, the paid-up Share
Capital will be kept at the lowest possible point.
It is believed that as an essentially Home Investment, one
so secure, and at the same time so remunerative, is rarely
brought to the notice of the public, being wholly free from
the speculative character incidental to many joint-stock en-
terprises ; the model on which the business operations will
be conducted will be that of Gresham House Chambers, in
Old Broad-street, City Bank Chambers, Threadneedle-street,
and County Chambers, Lombard-street, the success of which
is well known, the only difference being, that whilst those
properties are in the hands of a few capitalists, the proper-
ties Will be distributed over a large

will thus put investors of mode-
rate means in the same position to reap the advantages of
large returns on City property, which the magnitude of the
amounts required has hitherto made it impossible to any but
very wealthy men to undertake.
In the a lot vent of Shares, a proportion will be reserved
for applicants who are Shareholders in the Mercantile Credit
Association (Limited), and the Credit Fonoier (Limited) ; the
remainder will be distributed among the general public.
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 allotted than are applied fbr, the deposit will be made
available towards the Payment due on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The Directors of Bonelli's Electric Telegraph Company
(Limited), having established a line of telegraphic communi-
cation between Manchester and Liverpool, the working of
which has proved, even beyond expectation, both practically
and commercially, the unriva led excellenc of Bonelli's
system, propose to extend their operations throughout the
United Kingdom. With this view it has been determined to
issue new shares, raising the capital of the Company from its
present amount of £25,000 to £250,000, in order to enable the
Company to carry out the highly advantageous arrangement
already settled with the patentees for the acquisition of the
entire patent right for the United Kingdom, as well as to
meet per the remaining expenditure necessary to establish
the opations of the Compiny on the proposed enlarged
fooling,
It is confidently expected that by thus extending to all the
Important districts of England the signal advantages, prac-
tical and economical, possessed over every other system of
telegraphy in use by the Typo-Eiectrio Telegraphy, and
through the reduction of the tariff to a uniform rate of 6d. per
ordinary message of twenty words, placing the boon of tele-
, graphic Intercommunication within reach of the masses, new
and boundless sources of business, and consequently of profit
to the ehareholders, will be created, while to all who already
use the Electric Telegraph will be secured for the first time
that rapidity, correctness, and punctuality, which, from the
nature of the agent employed, the public had a right to ex-
pect, but which, until the Chevalier Bonelli's invention, has
never been practically attained.
1. Each message is printed by the very act of transmission,
in clear Roman characters, and as so transmitted is delivered
without further process, to the receiver, thus absolutely ex-
cluding all possibility of error from any source existing be-
tween the sender and the receiver.
2. The extreme rapidity with which messages can be trans-
mitted allows these instruments to keep pace with the largest
amount of tmsiness within the experience of existing estab-
lishments, and places them beyond all likelihood of being
overtaxed, even by the increased pressure of work that most
inevitably ensue from a uniform sixpenny rate for the ordi-
nary message. This rapidity and certainty of working ap-
plied to journalism must produce results even more marked,
and it has been proved by practice that a speech which by the
ordinary instruments occupied six and a half hours in trans-
mission, could with an equivalent staff be printed off by the
Bonelli Tealegraph, does in the s pace of one hour and a half. No
less emphatically the instrument recommend itself to
members of the Stock Exchange, to whom it ensures that
absolute accuracy, united with exemption from delay in com-
municating with their correspondents, which cannot be inva-
riably counted on under existing,. systems.
3. The automatic nature and simple working of the Bonelli
instrument renders it independent of specially trained, and
therefore highly paid manipulators.
4. The necessity to which all other telegraphic establish-
ments are exposed of increasing the staff of operators in pro-
portion with the augmentation of business, does not exist
whereßonelli's instruments are employed; and, consequently,
all increase of business must prove almost absolutely clear
profit.
A system to which the above capabilities can be attributed
without an approach to exaggeration, and which, therefore,
profitably to its promoters, places Telegraphy in direct rela-
tion with the requir. ments, actual end prospective, of mo-
dern society, cannot whe
b n once established on a commensu-
rate footing, and tested y the public, tail to supersede all
less perfect means of Telegraphic communication, as com-
pletely and universally as steam and the rail have superseded
the stage and the post road.
From c dculations based on actual experience, and scrupu-
lously limited on the side of probable business, it has been
deduced that a most satisfactory result may be at once relied
on, and which is eventually destined to be largely exc.?eded
The direcors, moreover, are already in a position to state
from negotiations that have been commenced with every
probability of being brought to a successful issue, that there
is a reliable prospect of establishing., within a very limited
period, sources of revenue to the Company totally indepen-
dent of profits from ordinary public business, and sufficient
f themselves to produce a satisfactory dividend.
Prospectuses and forms may be obta fled from the Bankers,
Brokers, Solicitors or Secretary, at the Offices of the Com-
pany. Each application must be accompanied with a deposit
of 1 per share, which w ill be returned without deduction if
uo shares are allotted.

every foreign market, and to give fact iiies for conveying to
our shores every descri,tion of merchandi e, it is remarkable
that as soon as the operation of importing is performed the
monetary facilities arc withdrawn. The bills drawn upon
our merchants mature, and must either be 'net by the mer-
chant's capital unaided or by sales. Thu., when tempo-
rari'y there is an excess of any commodity imported, its
price is undu y depressed, and a. riou • losses are incurre
Ordinary bankers and discount houses dislike making ad-
v ances upon merchandise, having no organisation for exa-
mining the goods and correct '•y estimating their value.
What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know-
ing the value, have ted
fr a fair advance. Division of
labour is here as foundelsewhere to be most convenient and
profitable.
To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow-
ledge, the Warrant Banking Company is formed. The bud-
, ness of the Company will mainly consist in making advances
upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by
dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly
inspected and valued on behalf of the Company, and with a
proper margin to allow for depreciation.
These advances will be made in a ceptances by the Com-
pany of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re•
oresent merchandise readily convert,ble, and b.. at the same
time secured by the whole car ital of a powerful Company, the
exact position of which will be patent to all, there can be no
doubt that the whole Die ount Market will be available when
it is desired by the holder to turn the bill into cash.
It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an
institution, while it will be of great service to merchants, and
increase the stability of the entire class, will be an equal con-
venience to bankers and discount firms,furnishing them with
a class of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the due
payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors
undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company
will be invested, and, solar as practicable, remain invested in
British and East Indian Government securities, and upon
deposit at call, and it is proposed that the capital thus paid
up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of
at least £200,000.
The field which exists for such an undertaking will be at
once apparent from a Blanco at the Board of Trade returns of
foreign impor' a for the past year. which amounted (not to
speak of home produce) to over £200,C00,000. If we estimate
the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse, as
equal to three months' consumption, it would represent an
amount of £50,000,000.
Advances may also be made when deemed advisable upon
Stocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con-
vertible.
A re isonable proportion will always be maintained be-
tween the extent of business undertaken and the cared-up
capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased
to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated,
simply as a guarantee fund.
_Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool,

Manchester, Glasgow, acs &c.
Tne Directors will not receive any remuneration until the
shareholders have been paid L 5 per cent. by way of dividend
on their paid-up capital. Alter payment of f per cent, the
Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits.
No promotion money will be paid for originating this un-
dertaking. The preliminary expenses will be confined to the
necessary disbursements.
