PROSPECTUS.
The Directors having received he support of eminent
ing firms in thi country connected with public works, are
already in a position to announce
foreign capitalists, and the c )
that they have secured a
business which will of Itself yield a larg
operation of many of the lead-
e return on the capital,
without reckoning the probable profit which they will also
derive from the further operations they have in view.
The spirit of enterprise which has now manifested itself in
foreign countries, with the encouragement given by the
various Governments to the construction of works of public
utility, leave no doubt that there is still ample scope for an
undertaking of this nature. Having secured not only the
influence of those connected with banking establishments in
many of the principal cities of the continent, but the acquisi-
tion of business, whi:ll will form the basis of immediate
profitable transactions, the Directors have no hesitation in
introducing this Association to the pupilc.
The general objects of this eompa„ y are the same as those
of other compan es of a kindred nature which have been
lately started in this country, and which, by the judicious
employment of capital, h ye been enabled to secure for the
shareholders such large dividends.
The company will negotiate :-
1. Loans and concessions for railways, and other public
works abroad.
2. Th y will advance money on approved securities, as well
upon
ors of comm ission.

assembled on the ground consisted of eight batteries of
garrison artillery, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Long-

the 9th brigade, with six 12-pounder Armstrongs in each
battery, under the command of Major Milman, the whole
force being under the command of Col. Warde, C. 8., the
officer commanding the artillery of the garrison and district.
The ground was taken up at the south end of the common,
the garrison batteries being in the centre, with a field bat-

position Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet arrived in front of the
line, accompanied by Col. Hackwell, Assist.-Adjt. Gen. ;
Col. Shadwell, Assist.-Quartermaster-Gen.; Capt. Paule',
A.D.C., and Town Major Breton, and was received with

inspection of the line from right to left the ceremony of
marching past was carried out, the field batteries passing
first in demi-batteries and the garrison in batteries, and
following in batteries of guns in close order and in grand
divisions, the field batteries closing this portion of the
proceedings by going by at a trot in batteries in open order.
Everything had a look of efficiency and seemed worthy the
reputation of the royal regiment. As coon as the marching
past was concluded the garrison batteries were for a time
marched aside, and the field batteries bringing up their guns
unlimbered and opened fire from right to left on the line of
sea bench on their front. A variety of similar evolut;ons fol-
lowed, guns being limbered and unlimbered, and front
changed and fire opened in different directions according to
the direction of the commanding officer. Considerable inte-
rest was added to one part of the mimic fight when the bat-
teries were drawn up in a line parallel with the sea-shore,
and were firing rapidly seaward, on the sudden appearance
close inshore of eight screw gunboats, which opened a heavy
fire upon the field batteries from their 7 and S .inch gurs.
Their deep boom drowned the slighter report of the 12-
pounders on shore.
