,iThe Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great
nancial Associations recently established.
It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out
113 public works contemplated in the concessions they ob-
tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera-
.
Irn of contractors whose capital and position offer an un-
deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus
relieving the financial associations of that responsibility.
The constantly increasing scale on which public works of
'all kinds are oarried out, and the immense capital involved,
place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un-
lases supported by joint-stock enterprise.
This Company has, therefore, been formed for the par-
Vega of undertaking the execution of great public works,
And arrangements have been entered into with well known
contractors, by which contracts to the amount of £11,000,000
sterling will be turned over to the Company.
Among other contracts handed over to the Company is
that for the construction of the European Central Railway,
Which has been secured on favourable terms, and will be
commenced forthwith.
The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi-
ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work
au terms highly advantageous to the Company, he retaining
a large interest in the Company by receiving payment for
the transfer of his contracts in Shares with S 6 only credited
thereon.
It is well known that many undertakings of great com-
mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want
of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to
ensure their completion. This Company, combining the in-
fluence of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co-
operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi-
ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence
on the part of governments, public bodies, and the great
financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex-
tensive business on favourable terms.
Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained
at the Offices of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli-
citors, and Bankers.
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will
be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be
allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made
available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

PROSPECTUS.
The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited), is formed to supply
a want which has been long felt, and its value will be imme-
diate.y recognised.
Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import
trade, and is the port through which the valuable m
aanu singlefac-
tures of Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it has not
Bank connected w,th the :
Mediterranean, the East Indies,
China, or Australia. .41,41 vx, 'a
_---: .;-.
The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures
to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about
forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped
from Liverpool, whilst the produce received inons, making
return into
Liverpool was of ava ue of upwards of sixty milli
a total of one hundred millions sterling.
Whilst London has upwards of fifty Banks, with branches
in different countries, established for the purpose of affording
every facility in Exchange transactions, therein
Liverpool is no Bank
con-
of
this description, with i. s head-quarters ,
nected with the East.
The profitable nature of Exchange business is well known,
and the practice which has become so general of attaching
Bills of Lading to Bills of /Cxchange renders this the safest
description of Banking business.
Some evidence of the safety andvaluable profitable ch
thae racter of the
business is afforded by the prese of undermen-
tioned Banks, wiiise chief sources of profits are in connection
with Exchange operations.

ment will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited.

Naval and Military Intelligence,

THE NAVY.
The Duke of Somerset, the First Lord of the Admiralty,
held a levee on Thursday afternoon at the Admiralty, White-
hall, at which the following officers wore present—Admiral
Sir W. H. Johnstone, Roar Admiral Kellett, Rear Admiral
Hull, Rear Admiral Hutton, Rear Admiral Denham, Capt.
H• F. M'Killop, Capt. Mark It. Peacliell, Capt, G. A. C.
Brooker, Capt. W. Graham, Capt. It. Harris, Capt. A. M.
Lyons, Capt. John E. Commerell, Commander 11. L.
Round, Commander G. Smythe, Commander T. G. Drake,
Commander J. ; 13u,kLley, Commander J. N. Norman,
Commander It. I'. Cator, Commander E. Hardy, Com-
mander C. J. Wrey, Commander F. H. Smith, Lieut. W.
D. D. Selby, Lieut. C. C. Robinson, Lieut. B. Sharpe,
Lieut. G. Parsons, Dr. Q. M'Cormick (Deputy Inspector),
and Dr. Hugh Jameson (Staff surg.)
Her Majesty's screw steam line-of-battle ship Bombay,
67 guns, 400 horse power, Captain Colin A. Campbell, re-
cently commissioned at Chatham for the Bag of Rear-
Admiral the Hon. C. G. J. B. Elliott, C. 8., the newly-
appointed Commander-in-Chief of the south-eastern coast
of America station, arrived at Sheerness on Monday last,
and was taken the next day to the measured mile off Maplin
Sands, for her final trial previous to proceeding to sea. The
officers present at the trial were Captain W. K. Hall, C. 8.,
of the Steam Reserve, who had command of the vessel
during the trial, and Captain C. A. Campbell. The engines
were in charge of Mr R. J. Ray, chief engineer of the

ship, and under the superintendence of Mr W. Rumble,
inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr W. Baker, chief en-
.gineer, Chatham Dockyard. Tho constructors of the en-
gines, Messrs. Humphreys, Tennant, and Co., were repre•
sented by Mt Alfrey. During the trial the engines worked
most satisfactorily and without any hot bearings, and the
boilers yielded a good supply of steam without priming.
The draught of water was 20ft Bin forward and 24ft aft.
The pressure of steam was 201 b; vacuum, 26}; revolutions
of engines, 70, and the average speed at full boiler power
one, six runs at the mile was 10157 knots. Two runs were
made at half-boiler power, giving a result of 7.330 knots
per hour. The Bombay is in every respect fit for sea, hav-
ing shipped her powder and shell and had her compasses
adjusted since her trial. She will be inspected on Monday
next, and will proceed on Tuesday to Plymouth en routs to
her destination.

In the notice of the trial trip of the Achilles, which ap-
peared in The Sun of yesterday, we omitted to mention that
among those present were Mr Penn and Mr Matthew, of
the firm of John Penn and Sons, and Mr John Dinnen, in-
Spector of machinery.

By direction of the Admiralty and the War Department,
Commander Colomb, R.N., and Capt. Bolton, 12th Regi-
ment, aro about to proceed to Portsmouth in order to carry
out a series of important official experiments with their
systems of flashing signals at extreme ranges. Captain
Bolton's system has been already adopted in ths army, and
Commander Colomb's system is about to be adopted in the
navy. Tho object aimed at in the forthcoming experiments
is the combinations of both 'systems for naval and military
purposes, and more especially with reference to coast
defence.

By advices received through a private channel from St.
Petersburg we learn that another, and the last manufac-
tured, of the monster steel guns now being supplied to the
Russian Government by M. Krupp, for the armament of
the Cronstadt and Sweaborg fortresses, has burst on the
firing of its eleventh trial charge. The 11-inch plates for
these forts are being manufactured by the firm of John
Brown, and Co., Atlas Works, Sheffield.
Tho following appointments have been made at the
Admiralty :—Dr. W. D. Smyth, surg. to the Archer; F.
D. Aubin, assist.-clerk supernumerary, to the Duncan ;
Mr A. P. Lakeman, nominated to a naval cadetship ; Lieut.
C. R. Maberley, Lieut. B. H. Key, and ,Lieut. G. T.
Boyes, to the Excellent.
