This Company is formed for the purpose of connecting the Atlan-
tic and Pacific Oceans by the construction of a plank road (a des-
cription of road wed known and much used both in British North
America and the rnited States) across the province of Chiriqui,
situated in Terra Firma Proper, in the Republic of New Grenada,
under many advantages unattainable by any analogous undertaking,
more especially those of goat terminable harbourage, and safety,
fiteiltty, and directness of access.

A grant from the Covcrnment conferring all the land necessary
for the construction of the road, and all necessary buildings, has
already bees obtained, with the exclusive privile,e to the Proprietors of
the road to establish and collect such toll and passage. money as they
shall think proper.
The grant is `or the period of 60 years ; at the- expiration of thatice
term the road is to be surrendered to the Governor of the province
as provincial property, and the entire amount of the original ca-
pital accumulated by a reserved fund to be laid aside from the profit
of the enterprise will then be repaid pro-rata to the proprietors of
the shares.
The termini of the proposed road are in the Lagoon of Chiriqui, on
the Atlantic coast, and in the Bay of Chiriqui, on the Pacific side.
The harbours and anchorage at these termi are excellent.
healthy coast on
Through the whole line the country is very
the Atlantic terminus was surveyed by her Majesty's ship Thunder,
majesty's ship Herald. These offi-
and that en the Pacific by her
ei al surveys, copies of which have been obtained from the Admiralty,
are highly favourable to the proposed enterprise.
The route has been long gnomonand used as a provincial road.
The highest elevation of the line of road between the two oceans
is only 160 feet, and the steepest gradient only 18 feet to the mile.
The distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific in a direct line Is
only 40 geographical miles, and the length of road will not exceed 50
miles. The facilities for its construction are very great.
The Chiriqui road may be open for traffic in one year, and in full
working order evitiVn 18 months from the period of its commence-
ment. When completed the whole distance may be travelled within
ght hours.
This route is in the most direct line from Europe to the colonies of
Australia and New Zealand, and as the route for the California emi-
gration, it is far superior to either the Panama or the • San Juan de
Nicaragila. It must also insure the transit of merchandise con-
signed to and from the west coast of America, both north and south,
and a considerable portion of the specie from the same coast. A por-
tion of the trade between Great Britain and Australia and New Zea-
land, and that of the other islands of the Pacific, may also be fairly
calculated upon. A considerable portion of the gold procured in Aus-
tralia will be transmitted across this route. Notwithstanding exist-
ing difficulties upwards of 100,000 persons crossed thb Isthmus of
Panama during the last year, and it is computed that the in-
creased inducements and facilities for trade and emigration fur-
nished by new lines of steam-ships will vastly increase the amount
of traffic and travel across the Isthmus, placing it beyond doubt
that this undertaking will produce immense returns.
The amount of capital necessary to complete and open the road in
perfect working order will be only 200,0001., and the revenue to be
derived from it, computed from the sources above indicated, will
yield a net profit on the entire capital of about 30 per cent., alter
making a very liberal deduction for expenses, and also laying aside
a reserve fund sufficient to replace the original capital, and provide
for any unforeseen contingencies.
In submitting this undertaking to the public, the Directors deem
it unnecessary to enlarge on its importance, or the vast advantages
and facilities which will be given to commercial intercourse by a
safe, speedy, and economical means of intercommunication, with
excellent harbours adapted to all purposes of trade, between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They are permitted to state, as a
gurrantee of its feasibility and realisation, that the Messrs. Warings,
of London, railway contractors, are ready to undertake the con-
struction of the road at the estimate cost, and will Immediately at
their own expense send their surveyrs and staff to the locality to
make the final survey.

The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that her
Majesty's Government have acceded to the request of the pro-
moters for the grant of a Royal Charter of Incorporation, by which
the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of
their shares, and no payment will be required until the Charter shall
have been completed.
Applications for shares to be made to the brokers of the Company,
or to the Secretary, at the temporary offices of the Company, No.
4, Princes-street, Bank, London ; where also may be obtained
prospectuses, with accompanying maps, showing the situation of the
proposed route relative to the Panama and Nicargua routes, and the
proposed Tehuantepec and other routes, as also the relative distances
of these routes across the Isthmus of Central America, and the dis-
tances to San Francisco, and to Sydney, New South Wales, by New
Zealand, from England, New York, &c.

The greatly increasing population, the commerce, the pastoral.
and agricultural riches of the colonies of New South Wales and Vic-
toria, the great success of the banks already established in Sydney,
Melbourne, mid Geelong, together with the extraordinary yield of
the gold mines of these colonies, justly warrant the establishment of
a New Australian Bank, with branches In such towns as may appear
expedient.
It has therefore been proposed to form a new banking association,
to be entitled the Boyal Australian Banking and Gold Importing
Company, to be incorporated under a Royal Charter.
The capital is proposed to be 250,0001., in 50,0, 0 shares of 51. each,
on which a deposit of 1. each shall be paid, and no further call to be
made until the Royal Charter shall have been obtained, and not
then, except by a resolution agreed to by a majority at a general
meeting of Shareholders, to be coiled together for that purpose, by
three regular advertisements In the " Times," and three other Lon-
don daily newspapers.
The object of the proposad Bank is to establish an office in Lon-
don for the purpose of regulating and directing the general affairs
of the Company. A Bank will be established at Sydney, with
branches at Melbourne, and, if expedient, at Geelong, and
other populous towns. The bank and the branches to carry on the
ordinary business of banking by discounting bills, issuing
notes under the provisions granted by Charter, in proportion to the
paid-up capital, advancing money on undoubted security, and also
on consignment of gold ore and refined gold to the Company in
London; and purchasing eoltrin the colonies of New South Wales
and Victoria, together with the transaction of such other business
as may be safely and legitimately conducted by a Bank. To avoid
losses by fraud orneglect or dutysthe managers, and all persons ap-
pointed by the Bank, will have to give competent security in Engluad
for their fidelity and good conduct in those colonies.
A great part of the above capital being already subscribed, the
Royal Charter has been applied for, and is ander consideration of
the Board of Trade, and the Deed of Settlement will be completed
when the remaining shares are subscribed, and the deposit of 11.
per share paid to the bankers.
dent.
The combined advantages of banking anas,old purchasing are evi-
Firstly,—As a bank, an entirely new field is created by the im-
mense influx of population, which is being continuously added to
by the daily increasing emigration for the main purpose of raising
gold, for which the bank would afford a convenient and secure
place of deposit, as well as a market for its disposal, Involving a
proportionate increase of trading operations and banking accommo-
dation. The shares of the banks already established in Australia
are now at high premiums, in one instance (the Union Bank Shares)
$lO per cent.
Secondly,—By the purchase of gold in those colonies by a bank
at about Its. per ounce, with a market value here of about 80s., a
profit Is shown of Dearly 25 per cent. ; and looking at the enormous
quantity of the
precious metal, this business would appear to be un-
limited, while the recent facilities of a regular -steam-packet inter.
course, both by the way of the Cape of Good Hope, by way of
Egypt, and shortly by way of Panama, will increase the profits on
the capital by enabling the Company to make frequent importations
of gold during the year.
Such are the sound and practical advantageschathich are submitted
by the Directors to the public, and win they will have the
greatest satisfaction, both as Directors and Shareholders,of
promptly carrying into execution, in the full confidence that this
this
Company will prove one of the most secure and profitable invest.
