This Company is ,formed for the purpose of carrying* out
concessions for making and working Tramways in the King-
dom of Holland and adjacent statns. A concession for a
rt ruble Tramway from the Hague to Scheveningue (the
Brighton of Holland) has already been obtained on fay. ur-
able terms, and a contract has been concluded with respon-
sible English contractors, by which they undertake to pur-
chase the land, to make the lines, and provide all the rolling
stock, horses, &c., for the sum of £lO,OOO. The remaining
£lO,OOO will be required for a working o-pital.
The works are in active progress, and will be completed
and bronght into operation in the eeurse of the month of May
next.

The line will commence in the princiral square in the town
of the Hague, and follow the ordinary route to Scheveningue
returning by another route, vii, the Canal and Zoological
Gardens, to the same station, being a total length of about
seven English miles.
Scheveningue, the only marine suburb In Holland, is re-
sorted oby large numbers of visitors, chiefly from Amster-
dam, Rotten/ am, Utrecht, and other towns.
From minute information furnished by the town authori-
ties, the number of vehicles employed in this t:affic has been
ascertained to make I tu.o. 0 journeys a year, each co.:veyirg
on nil average six persons, and the total numb-r of visitors
now enteringScheveningue in carriages and on foot amounts
to about 4,' 00,0 0 a year; of these it may fairly be estimated
that one-fourth will travel by the Tramway. In addition
thereto, about 20,000 tons of fish, merchandise, and provisions
are carried annually between the Hague and Scheveningue,
0 which it is assumed that one-halt at least will be carried
by the Tramway. From existing sources of traffic an annual
income of at least £20,00 may safely be calculat, d upon.
Prom carefully prepared estimates of the cost of horse
keep. wa -es, repairs, and every contingency, the general re-
sult is that a net dividend of not less than 15 per cent. on the
proposed capital may fairly he relied upon.
A large number of shares has already b en subscribed for
in Holland, which furnishes a proof of the high estimation
in which this undertak ng is held by the Dutch people. Ap-
plications for the remaining shares may be made to the
Brokers, or to the secretary, at the Offices, 10, Cannon-street,
but no application will be considered unless accompanied ty
a deposit of £1 per share; should no allotment be made to
the applicant, this sum will Ito returned in full.

Ofall securities or property that can come under the deno-

Freehold or long Leasehold city of London Yi operty, espe-
cially that portion situated within a ladins 011,000 yards of

greatest competition is excited when any property of ibis de-

extending back to Lime-street-square ; it has been exected
with n the ,ast three years, from the designs of John Which-
cord, E ,q., and contains 120 firs -class Offi:es, with Four
Shops, the who e let to first-class Merchants and others;
it ha fire-proof corrithrs and stone et urcases, and possesses
the most modern I,..provements, including Telegraph S ta-
t! on, Buffet, &c., in Ihebuildznv. The lease is for 91 ye re, at a
ground-rent of £7OO per annum; it has a frontage of 00 feet,
and 170 feet in depth, and contains 12,0J0 squire superficial
feet.

the last seven years, from di signs by John B trnett, Esq.,

situated 17 and is, Corohi I, directly opposi e the Bank of

ton erhaps the most desiralate In the City. With a very
trifling outlay thes ,in accord an ce witd the plans and designs

Offices, and wo-thilds of the building has a ready been let,
the ground floor and mez tuine floor being rented by the
Credit Mobilier and. Credit Fonder Companies. These Pre-
mises are Leasehold fur 61 years, at a grourid-rent of 464
per annum.
Bloct I) consists of the .new and substantial block of
Offices, erected n ithin the last three years, and are built in
the most übstan f a manner. It contains fifty-five offices, be-
sides vaults, the whole, exc,pting four, being let, and offers
being made for these. It is Freeho:d, has a frontage of 52
feet and depth of 81feet, and contains 4,160 superticial square
feet, and is situated at IP, Great Tower-street, near Alarik-
lane.
Block Eis the largest block in the City; it is situated in
Bishopsgate-street, opposite St. Helen's-place, with a
thorou2lif are to be got through to Old Broad-street, and in
the centre of the block adjoins Gresham House; it contains
25,t00 square feet. It may be convenient to give an idea of
the size of this fine site of land, to say that it is more than
four times the size of the Auction Mart, 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 £o• per square foOt, which, compared with the
prices paid for the three last properties within six weeks,
gives tne following results, viz. :
Thr3 Auction Mart (Freehold), containing an area of about
6,80 t) square foot, cost £115,25 , which gives an average of £2O
perfoot __ _

PROSPECTUS.
While Exchange Banks mai Credit Institu'ions have been
established to connect this country financially with almost
every foreign market, and to give fact Pies for conveying to
our shores every descrii tion of merchandi e, it is remarkable
that as soon as the operation of importing is performed the
monetary facilities are w;thdrawn. The bills drawn upon
our merchants mature, and must either be -net by the mer-
chant's capital unaided, or by sales. 'I hu,, when tempo-
rarily there is an excess of any co umodity imported, its
price is undu y deprr,sed, and s riou losses are incurre•'.
Ordinary bankers and discount houses dislike making ad-
vances 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 accepted for a fair advance. Division of
labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and
profitable..

- To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow-
ledge, the Warrant Banking Company is formed. The busi-
ness of the Company will mainly consist in making (Iv nces
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 advan"es will be made in a ceptances by the Com-
p •ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re-
present mer handise readily convert ble, and b at the same
time secured by the whole ca ha' of a powerful Company, the
exact position of which will be patent to al', there can be no
doubt that the whole Dis ount Market will be availablewhen
it is desired by VI- holder to turn the bill into cish.
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 ctiscount 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, so far 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 glance at the Board of Trade returns of
foreign impor a for the past year, which amounted (not to
speak of home produce) to over £200,00,000. 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 noon Stocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con-
vertible.
A re 'sonable proportion will always be maintained be-
tween the extent of business undertaken and the calied-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, Sze. &a
The. Directors will not receive any remuneration until the
Shareholders have been paid £5 per cent, by way of dividend
on their paid-up capital. Atter payment of 5 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
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained. of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, and at the tem-
porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares
will be considered un'ess a deposit of £1 per share has been
preying -ly p id to the bankers of the Company.
In the event of no a lotment being made the depositwill be
returned without deduction, and should the number allotted
be l'ss than the number applied for, the payment in excess
will be applied towards the balance of the deposit.

The Leasehold Premises, No. 80, Lombard-street, occupied
by the Colonial Insurance Compsny, containing only 1,080
feet, sold to a well-known Banker for .£30,000, subject to a
ground-rent of £6OO per annum, for 61 years, which, allow-
ing as in former calculations 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 610 feet,
realised £10,0; 0, and this subject to a ground-rent of £5,0
per annum, which, allowing ior purchase of freehold,' and
deducting value of new building, gives about 430 per square
foot.

It will be seen, therefore, that if large profits can be rea-
lised, as they undoubtedly can be, on land costing £2O, £3 ,
and £37 per foot respectively, the prospects and probable
profits of those acquired by this Company, 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 on the
cost.
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 relied on. The Company will also from
time to time acquire other properties, as the opportunities
present themselves, for the purpose of re-sale or otherwise.
By the issue of Debentu' es 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 acquired by this Company will be distributed over a large
body of Shareholders, which 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 itimpossible 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 Fonder (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 for, the deposit will be made
available towards the payment due on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares in the
form annexed may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of
the Company, at the Offi:.es of the Mercantile Credit Asso-
ciation (Limited), 21, Threadneedle-street; and the Credit
Foncier (Limited), 80, Lombard-o treet ; also of the Bankers,
Brokers, Solicitors, and Secretary.

THE WAR IN DENIVIARII.

(From the limes Spee;al Correspondent with the Danish
Army.)

DANISH HEADQUARTERS, SONDERBORG,
March 9.
We begin at last to see some symptoms of acti-
vity on the part of the Prussians, I was out to-
day on horseback, and stood at the outposts on the
summit of the Avnbjerg, a hill rising on the left
of the road, at about an English mile from the
bastions at Dybbol. Up to the present moment
the Danes are strongly posted on the Avnbjerg,
and will certainly not give it up without con-
test. Standing close to the Danish pickets on the
brow of this hill, I could distinctly see, across the
waters of the Vemmingbund, all along the crest of
the Broager peninsula, swarms of Prussians, busy
throwing up the earth, apparently rearing trenches
previous to placing their batteries in position. Great
efforts are made by them at the same time to raise
earthworks at Ragebol, on the right of the Danish
position. They evidently aim at an attack on the
two wings of the Danish line, well knowing that
they could have no chance of success against the
formidable centre.
While, however, the Prussians are, after more
than a month, only making ready for action, the
Austrians in Jutland are doing their own share of
the work with that same briskness and willingness
whichthey displayed in their operations at the Dan-
newerk. We have somewhat more minute perti-
lars of the skirmishes before Fredericia, to which I
alluded at the close of my last letter, and what we
hear to-day is not calculated altogether to allay the
fears which were yesterday entertained as to the
safety of that Jutland stronghold.
Fredericia lies at the mouth of that Sound which,
winding inland between the coast of Jutland and
that of the island of Funen, widens as it advances
southward, and forms what is called the " Little
Belt," a branch of the sea parting the island of
Funen from the mainland of Schleswig and the Isle
of Alsen. After entering inland at Fredericia,
and winding from Erritso on the mainland on the
right to Middlefart on the Funen side on the left,
the Sound continues its meandering course between
the lands till it reaches the little islet of Fanoe,
where it throws a branch westward, forming an
inlet which bears the name of Kolding-fiord, and
which from its mouth near Fanoe up to the town
itself of Kolding constitutes the boundary line
between Jutland and Schleswig. The town of
Fredericia, which was built for the express pur-
pose of guarding the entrance of the Little Belt,
lies on the southern coast of a little peninsula,
bathed, on this side, by the water of the Sound, on
the east by the broad sea, and on the north by the
Veile-fiord, and by a smaller inlet which is only a
branch of it, and bears the name of Rands-fiord,
or Little Strand. The town or fortress itself is
built upon a point, in a fanlike or triangular shape,
having a " kastel" or citadel at its apex on the sea,
and for a base inland a long circular continuous
line of ten bastions, built close upon one another.
The two sides of the triangle on the sea are also
partly walled, and strengthened by stout bastions.
Immediately beyond the bastions, on the western
side, the town has low grounds which can be inun-
dated for a considerable distance, and formed in
1849 a ditch which bore the name of Oversvo•
melso. This ditch runs inland for above an English
mile, considerably beyond the extent of the town,
with which it lies as it were at a tangent, protecting
it on the side of Erritso and Stourstrup.
Besides the batteries at the Kastel at Fredericia,
so situated as to give the place a full com-
mand of the Sound, the entrance to this narrow
strait is also protected on the iFunen sides by two
batteries at Strib, a point lying almost immediately
to the south of the Kastel, right opposite to it, at
less than an English mile's distance ; and further
on, where the Sound becomes still narrower, and
where it is crossed by a ferry between Middlefart and
Snoghoi, by, a long row of batteries on the Middle-
fart or Funen side, so constructed as not only to
guard the Strait, but also to sweep the lands across
the ferry at Snoghoi.
The Austrians hdd hitherto taken up their Posi-
tions at a considerable distance from Fredericia, and
the Danes, with that carelessness which seems to be
peculiar to them, and which has caused them some
rather important losses in prisoners at Dybbol, had
spread their outputs several miles outside the town
at Gudso,on the south, close to the Kolding-fiord, and
towards the Viola-fiord on the north, occupying thus
the neck of the whole, peninsUla. The Austrians
appeared in very large forces yesterday, diverting
their attacks on Voile on the north, and on the west,
through Bredstrup, and through a minor road,
which from Havreballegaard converges in the same
direction towards the villages of Stoustrup and
Erritso. The Danes perceived from the outset that
they had to deal with vastly superior forces, and
they fell back in the best order, skirmishing even
while they yielded ground. The Austrians pushed
forward as far as Stoustrup and Erritso, and there
established themselves at the distance of less than
two English miles from Fredericia. The desultory
fire at the outposts cost the Danes about 150 between
dead and wounded ; among the latter Gen. Wilster,
the Commander-in-Chief at Fredericia, Capt. Hoff-
man, the Chief of the Staff, and two officers of the
Staff. A shell fell close to where the General stood,
killed his horse, and stretched him on the ground
with two wounds, and prostrated also Capt. Hoff-
man with a wound in the leg, which will neces-
sitate amputation, and may, it is feared, cost the
brave officer his life. While the main force of
the third Danish division were thus effecting
their retreat, Capt. Taue, who was with his com-
pany posted at Gudso, receiving no timely intima-
tion of the movements of the enemy, tarried on the
spot till, by the occupation of Stoutrup and Erritso,
the Austrians had cut off his retreat. Aware at last
of his critical position, he advanced on the high
road in the direction of Snoghoi, whence he might
hope to cross over to Middlefart, but was soon hem•
med in and overpowered by the enemy, to whom,
after a gallant resistance, he had to surrender with
the whole of his company, about 200 men.

It is thus that the Danes, without as yet having
run the chances of a decisive encounter, have in
this unfortunate war suffered losses which their in-
feriority of numbers renders almost irreparable. It
is calculated that no less than 500 men were put
hors de combat at Missunde, Bustrup, and the other
combats at the Dannewerk ; about 1,000 were
among the killed, wounded, or missing in the re-
treat, and no less than 500 or 600 more have
either fallen or have been taken prisoners in the
defence of Dybbol and Fred ericia. On the whole, the
Danish army is certainly less strong by 2,000 com-
batants than it was at the opening of the war, when
it Blustered no more than 30,000. No doubt, the
losses of the Austrians and Prussians have been
throughout fully as severe, but they can better afford
it. Fresh masses of troops, with immense materiel,
are coming up daily. The Germans, who have such
good grounds to feel sure of victory, spare no pains
to make that assurance doubly sure, and hope by
redoubling their efforts to come twice as soon to the
end of their enterprise.
According to the latest intelligence from Jutland,
it would seem that the Austrians, satisfied With their
success, have again fallen back from the position
they had taken up at Stoustrup and Erritso. Even
the affair at Fredericia may be looked upon as a
mere reconnaissance in force.

MARCIE 10.
The official papers at Copenhagen contain a de-
tailed account of the losses suffered by the various
corps of the army from the Ist to the 22d of Feb-
ruary. From this it Wiil be seen that the statement
contained in my yesterday's letter was rather below
than above the mark. The losses above-mentioned
amount, according to the official authorities, to 43
officers and two army surgeons, dead or wounded;
and 1,930 rank and file dead, wounded or missing.
Of course, these numbers only extend tv the 224
