The Fairy Entertainment, entitled
PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
veil, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all been duly registered by
him and Mr. .J. H. Weston under the title of " The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when " Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'oell of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

PROSPECTUS.
The attention of capitalists and the public has of late been
much directed to the introduction of Financial Companies
in this country, and the result of the operation of these
associations being now known has afforded a striking evi-
dence, both of their commercial utility and the advantages
they offer for a judicious and profitable employment of
capital.
The formation of this Company has for some time engaged
the careful consideration of the Directcrs, and they are
satisfied that an ample field remains in England, abroad,
and especially in India, for conducting successfully an
enterprise of this character; and, having secured very
valuable co-operation, and made other preliminary arrange-
ments, they have no hesitation in introducing it to the
public.
The principal objects of the Company will include-
-Ist. The negotiation of loans, concessions for railways
and other public works, whether in England, India, the
colonies, or abroad.
2d. The advances of money on the deposit of approved
securities, as well as the purchase and negotiation of the
same on commission.
34. Facilities will also be afforded to contractors of un-
doubted position, who have undertaken the construction of
ilvfays and other important works.
The_ Directors are fully impressed with the necessity of
I,lT.'ance and caution in the selection of their business.
iLetu,al relations have already been established with lead-
raediail
Ing-houses and capitalists with a view to the im-
proapeecetrautmencement of operations.
