ABRiDfIED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed to carry out un, n a much enlarged
scale the operations of two well. established and lucrative
businesses, hith Tto tra ing as the Imperial Wine Company
and the International Wine Company
The object of these businesses has been, by means of their
numerous connections amongst wine merchants, grocers, (to.,
ihroughout the country, to supply wines direct from the
tgrowers, ad to give t the consumer the immediate advan-
tage in price and quality which the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer placed wit, in their reach by reducing the duties upon
forei n wines and licenses for sale thereof.
The entire business connections of these existing e'fab-
ments in full profitab e working order, have been most ad-
vantageously purchased ; and in p,oof of th^ bona fidenature
of the undertaking, three-fourths of the whole purchase-
money for stock, fixtures, and goodwill, will be paid in shares
of the new Company. The vendor. will continue to assist in
its management, and the Directors have themselves sub-
s ribed for a large proporti. n of the first issue of shares.
Directors' remuneration to be one-tenth of the net profits.
One h gh y remunerative feature of this Company wi I con-
sist in the powers which h .ve been taken to employ surplus
capital in advances upon wine and spirit warrants, &c.
A copy of the Articles of Association may be seen at the
offices of the Company, and Prospec,u. es, with Forms of
Application for Shares obtained at the Broken, Solicitors, or
Secretary.
N.B.—The scope afforded for this Company may be illus-
trated by the simple fact that since the new vendors of win, s
have been called into existence by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer's legislation, t e annual consumption has increased
nearly two-fold upon ordinary wines, and three-fold upon
cheap French wines--vide the Chancellor s last Budget.

1. The object of this Association is to promote and en-
courage the monetary, financial, and industrial undertakings
of the kingdom of Italy.
2. Whilst the territorial and commercial development of
Italy has been so great, and has lately bean so much en•
larged under the influence of the constitutional system of
government, and the recent liberal treaties of commerce,
capital is imperatively required for the development of the
vast material resources of the kingdom.
There are few countries which present so extensive
and profitable a field for the safe and remunerative employ-
ment of capital.
4. A very important operation will at once recommend
itself to the attention of the directors, and one which will
be within the province of the Association—the negotiation
with the Italian Government for the proposed sale of the
Crown lands.
5. The operations will embrace—the negotiation of Go-
vernment and municipal loans; advances upon all securities
affording adequate guarantees, and financial accommodation to the concessionaries of, or other parties interested in rail-
way and other important public works. These works are
frequently undertaken by local municipalities whose en-
gagements are guaranteed by the isssue of obligations or
debentures, secured on their revenues. These securities
have always sustained their value in the monetary
markets.

6. At an evidence of the rapid advance which Italy has
made in her trade and commerce, it is shown by the official
reports that the declared value of the imports and exports
of the kingdom now amounts to upwards of 80 millions
sterling, being an increase of £20,000,000 beyond the value
in 1858.

7. An association of this nature so much required, and
being introduced upon a scale commensurate with the great
resources of the Kingdom of Italy, will be most favourably
received by the Government, as well as by the commercial
community.
wiB. Important relations have already been established
th influential banking houses and capitalists in Italy,
with a view to the immediate commencement of the busi-
ness of the Association.
9. The seat of Administration will be in London.
10. In the event of no allotment of shares being made,
the deposit will be returned in full. SI uld a less number
of shares be allotted than is applied for, the deposit will he
made available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance (if any) returned to the applicant.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained at the temporary offleed of the Company, from the
solicitors, or the brokers.
