The progress of Mauritius, as the chief seat of the produc-
tion of sugar by free labour, has been such as to create a
large and valuable landed property, which affords an excel-
lent field for the operation of a Lind Mortgage Bank or
Credit Foncier.
The following table of the exports of sugar from Mauritius
gives the best pro f of this progress, and shows how firmly
the prosperity of the colony is now established :

The crop of 1861, owing to a hurricane, only produced
108,000 tons, but that of 1862 reached 160,000 tons,
This production tends every year to increase with the faci-
lities of obtaining labour from India, with extended cultiva-
tion and irrigation, and with the establishment of railroads,which are in course of execution, and will be partially open
to traffic in the early part of this year.
At the present rate of production the annual value or the
sugar crop may be t .ken at £3,00

there is a large amount of real property in lands, houses, and

The rate of interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal
to 10 per cent. per annum, or 8 Per cent. interest, with 2 per

by annuities, and with a security never less than double the
advance.

Mortgage to the Directors of the Land
-°?tgage Bank of India, on be-
halt of a large number of the Principal members of the Legis-
lative Council and Landed Proprietors of Mauritius, to esta-
blish a branch there.
The Directors of the Land M,,,..
tgage Bank were of opinion
that Mauritius promised an excellent field of operations, but
as the nature of the properties and tenures of land are diffe-
rent from those of India, to which the original subscriptions
of their Bank were invited, it was thought better to raise a
separate capital and constitute anew Company, which, while
connected with the M isortgage
—ank by friendly relations,
should yet be a distinct institution. The close connection
between Mauritius and India renders this alliance peculiarly
desirable, and will be the means of
securing valuable busi-
ness to the new Company, while the expenses of an office
and establishment in London will be diminished by mutually
advantageous arrangements.
A deposit of £2 is payable on allotment, and calls by in-
stalments up to £lO per share will be made,
after which it is
intended to issue Bonde.
The Articles of Association lie at the
ofile,es of the Solici-
tors for inspection.
Applications may be made in the annexed form, addressed
to the Offices of the Land Mortgage Bank of India (Limited),
Change-alley, or to the Brokers.
