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 Land Mortgage Bank or
Credit Foneier.

--itiiefoili;;ing 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 01 execution, and will be partially open
to traffic in the early part of this year.
At the present rate of production the annual value of the
sugar crop may be t sken at £3,00,000, and the fee-simple
value of the sugar e states at £6,000,000 ; in addition to whi ah
there is a large amount of real property in lands, houses, and
other forms.
There is also great scope for useful outlay
of capital in im-
provements on estates, by erecting new machinery, clearing
waste lands, and irrigating.
The rate of interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal
to 10 per cent. per annum, or 8 per cent. interest, with 2per
cent. co emission, would be readily paid on loans redeemable
by annuities, and with a security never less than double the
advance.
It is estimated that a sum of p
42,000,000 might be safely in-
vested at this rate.
Supposing L 1,000,000 only to be invested at a difference of
4 per cent. between the rate paid upon bonds in England and
received in Mauritius, it is evident that the profit on the
paid-up portion of the share capital, whichwould not exceed
£lOO,OOO or £150,000, would be very large.
The remainder of the share capital of £500,000, together
pro-
perty, which would always equal the amount of bonds issued,
with the amount of first mortgages
would thus give these bonds an unexceptionable security.
The legislation of Mauritius affords great advantages for

The Directors of the Land Mortgage 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-
rentof their Bank were invited, it Iva, thought better to raise a a
from those of India, to which
separate capital and constitute
new Company, which, while
connected with the M nortgage
A'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
