EXPERIMENTS WITH MR. MACKAY'S GREAT Gilt!,

intended to have thoroughly tested the gun, but owins„.
the unfortunate state of the weather the experiments P'11",
per were not carried out. A thick haze prevailed along tale
coast, and hence it was not only difficult to distinguish r,
targets, even at 300 yards distance, but also highly dol3geto
ous,inasmuch as pedestrians were continually upon'

the fog was partially lifted, and during one of these in Up
vals six shots were fired at a wooden target (placed at ;b8
yards) for the purpose of obtaining the range. Four e,f, :),"0
shots" struck the target, but two were rather wide ol
mark. The initial velocity obtained was 16.40 feet
second, which is considerably higher, we believe, than the
velocity of the Armstrong shot, and about equal to the
68 pounder old ordanco at 200 yards distance. When
sixshoi.is had been fired at the wooden target the esP—to
ments were ;08tponed until the first fine day, owing t° o,eg

PROSPECTUS.
This Company is based upon existing institutions on the
Continent, which have been already worked with signal
success.

The founders of the International Land Credit Company•
have previously established—
In Belgium, La Banque Hypothecaire Beige and La
-unique de Credit 'Fancier et Industriel (the Belgian Mort-
gage Bank and the Bank of Industry and Lend Credit).
In Holland, La Banqe Hypothecaire Neerlandaiso (the
Netherlands Mortgage Bank).
In Austria, the Vindobona Mortgage Assurance Com•
whey have all prospered. The success they have met
is established by authentic documents. It may be
'1,041c1, without exaggeration, that the results are brilliant ;
for these Companies have produced to their Shareholders an
rage dividend of 20 per cent., and of them much
some
tnore.
,„...T,he experience acquired by the working of these Com-
uies has led to the conclusion that, in order to give full
development to the principles which have proved
.so auc-
cBsfal, it is desirable to found a Central Company of an
i,., I:4ternational character, the main functions of which should
raise capital by the issue of bonds and "lettres de
in the great money markets of Europe, to be em-
ployed.. through associated local Companies ire purchases of
:nt, or loans upon real property, in countries where the
‘..tce and,
interest is high.
c.„142. Banque Hypothecaire Beige, acting on this prin-
Pie, and established nearly three years ago, has, with a
xiininal capital of £480,000 only, succeeded placing on the
el
th iglu. market alone such an amount of " lettres de gage"
at ts
i shares with £6 paid have risen to and maintained
that
at £lB.
he in Belgium at 4 and 41 per cent. has
.",eete capital raised
employed principally in Austria, through La Banque
Credit Foncier et Industriel, which has a branch at
,I,ieuna completely organised, with a staff thoroughly
v
ittel.Bgd in Austrian affiirs ; and it is shown by the books of
P uy that of all its operations of p and sale
Austria, not one has realised less than 20 perurchase cent„ after
„.9ucting all expenses, while generally they have reached
Per cent.
Bel-
gian being the result of Companies
limited to the Bel-
" money market for raising capital' it is evident that
still greater results may be obtained bf forming an Inter-
national Company, with a share capital large enough to
facilitate the placing of bonds and" lettres do gage" on the
moneyoney markets of England, France, Holland, and Ger-
many, as well as of Belgium.
Accordingly, the present Company has been founded,
under the English Law of Limited Liability, and with an.
°ince and iiirection in London, as well as at Brussels; ar-
rangements have been made with the Banque Hypothecaire
elge for a complete fusion, while, a treaty has been con-
cluded with the Banque de Credit-Fonder of Industrial,
Which ensures the benefit of their experience, and a large
and profitable business from the commencement, a mini-
mum dividend of 11 per cent. on the paid-up Share Capital
being secured in any event, as the result of the first year's
Working.
It is also proposed to enter into an arrangement with the
Vindobona. This Society, which has existed at Vienna
for five years, and has a capital of 10,000,000 florins, gua-
rantees the regular payment of interest upon mortgage-
debts, as well as the principal when due. By this means,
all the business done in Austria will be rendered perfectly
secure.
The Vindobona is in the most flourishing state. It has
paid the first year 6 per cent., the second 12 per cent., the
third 15 per cent., and at the next meeting it is expected it
Will distribute 25 per cent. Particular attention is called to
this point. This guarantee is one of the features which
essentially distinguishes this Company from other Land-
Credit Companies.
the
pounds (£6) per share will be called in the course of
'tie present year, inclusive of the payment of £1 each on
thslication and allotment; after which, it is not expected
t any further Calls whatever will be made. The Share
nital paid up will thus be £1,300,000; and the profit
Zured for the first year under the above arrangements will
rstill further increased as additional Capital is raised
„.1.0131 year to year by the issue of Bond and "lettres de
'Acre ,P
, and as the securities of the Company become natu-
aneed on the chief money-markets of Europe.
.nO f_ the amount of L 6,000,000 Capital now issued, £5,000,000
160400,000 Shares have been taken and paid upon on the
vetinent, and 50,000 Shares are reserved for England, of

1. This Company has been formed for the purpose of purchas-
ing and extending the well known and valuable business,
hitherto carried on by private capitalists, under the firm of
"The Dfillwall Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company."
2. The capabilities of the Millwall establishment for the pro-
duction of every class of iron work are unsurpassed. The
engineers' shops are furnished with the most complete mo-
dern machinery adapted for the construction of marine en-
gines of high power ; the two foundries, the rolling mills, the
smiths' ships, and forges, with eight steam hammers—of
sufficient power to execute forgings of the heaviest class—
are in perleot working condition, including all the latest im-
provements.
3. These mills and forges alone are, from their canacity and
efficiency, of great value; and when taken in conjunction
with the ship building yard, present a combination for pro-
fitable results not existing elsewhere. The rolling mills,
which are for the manufacture of plates and angle iron for
ship's purposes, and armour plates, are the most powerful in
the kingdom, and now stand unsurpassed for the high
character of their manufacture, and can produce 1,000 tons
per week, including at least 7:.:0 tons of finished iron.
41 Upon the ship-building yard, which possesses a frontage
to the River Thames of 1,750 feet, there :s capacity for laying
down 15,000 tons of shipping. It comprises a new and care-,
fully-piled dock (in which the armour-clad frigate Northum-
berland, 6,620 tons, is now being° ,nstructed for her Majeaty's
Government), with all necessary appliances for shi obuilding.
5. In addition to Ships being, constructed for the British
Government, the Italian Government, the liciyal Mail Steam
,
Packet Company. the Intercolonial S' earn Packet
Company, the Ottoman Government, and private merchants,
twelve screw steamships with their engines are-under con-
tract.
6. The Company has alsopurchased the Britannia Graving
or'Ory Dock. now in efficient working, and the adjoining lane!,
called Fergusson'a Mast-pond, containing space for two dry
docks 0f470 and 350 feet respectively.
7. The operations of the Company will be condirted by Mr.
George Harrison, whose great experience and abilities will
be devoted exclusively to the interests of this company, and
and as the whole of the valuable property has been ceded to
the Company upon terms which are considered highly ad-
vantageous, the result of the undertaking may be considered
as assured.
8. 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 a lotted Than are applied for, the deposit will b 3 made
avai able towards the payment on allotment, end the balance
if any, returned to the applicant.

PROSPECTUS.
The object of this Company is to promote Financial,
Commercial, and Industrial enterprise in India and the
East by the application of English capital, for the legiti-
mate and remunerative employment of which there is ample
and constantly extending scope.
The success of the operations of the Financial Companies
in England has now been satisfactorily proved ; and a
similar institution, adapted especially to the requirements
of the East, and combining on its direction the needful
experience, will have a field for profitable operations equal,
if not superior, to any other.
The Corporation will act as General Financial Agents,
will make advances on approved securities, and will pro-
mote the development of the internal resources of the
countries in which it may operate, by assisting in the
establishment of sound industrial undertakings and enter-
prises.
The Corporation will also undertake on commission the
investment of funds placed in its hands, either in the pur-
chase of property, or in lending it out on mortgage and
other securities. It will receive deposits at rates to be agreed
upon ; and it will take powers to issue bonds or obligations
on the security of its mortgages and subscribed capital.
The revenue of India has risen in a few years from
£26,000,000 to £47,000,000, and the aggregate import and
export trade during the same period has more than doubled
itself. The increasing development of her natural produc-
tions, and the successful cultivation of tea, coffee, and other
staple articles, together with the 11,gh rates there current
for money, compared with those upon which it can be bor-
rowed in this country, make the opening very favourable
for the establishment of a Company of this description.
Powers will also be taken to extend the operations of the
Corporation elsewhere as may be found expedient.
Arrangements are in progress by which the business may
be speedily commenced.
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may
be obtained at the Temporary Offices, or of the Brokers or
Solicitors. The Memorandum and Articles of Association
may be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors. In the
event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be
returned without deduction.
