ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS,

This Company has been formed not to commence specula-
tive operations upon untried ground, to develop which many
years would necessarily have to elapse, but to purchase and
work celebrated mines unusually rich in silver, well stocked
with plant and machinery, and already opened and do/e-
-loped sufficiently to make their speedy success apparently
certain. They extend over a large part—nesrly 500 acres—
of the richest and most important district of silver-lead mines
in Cardiganshire, being surrounded by some of the greatest
mines in Cardiganshire, including the East Daren, Daren,
Bronfloyd, and Cwmerfin Mines, and are now in full work,
as far as their present development allows, and are rais-
ing from several points ore of very rich quality, being welt
supplied w,th water-power and machinery for pumping a
winding, and crushing and dressing ore, &c.
Sufficient capital is already subscribed to continue the
mines and machinery in active operation. the last parcel of
ore realised on the osth of December, having been sold for
£l7 per ton, shows a high per tentage of silver. The allot-
ment of shares will be made when sufficient have been ap-
plied for to the bankers or to the secretary, at the offices of
the cons any, where the ore, .to., may be seen. Preliminary
expenses will be confined to the actual outlay.
Full oetai.ed prospectuses, reports, and forms of applica-
tion for shares, will be forwarded, post tree, on application
to the secretaries, to whom cheques and t ost-ofhce orders
must be mad.: payable.

A want, which has long been experienced by Officers of
both Services, has not yet been provided for by any of the
new Banks that have lately been brought before the public.
Their bills, although of undoubted character, cannot be
neg,tiated, for the simple reason that they are not of a
commercial nature. Hence, although sucli. Bills may be
backed by the utmost respectability and security, the holders
are of necessity driven to apply to persons who, knowing
their position, and taking advantage thereof, compel them
to submit to the most extortionate terms in order to obtain
th' required ad vaac3.
For the purpose, therefore, of obviating this evil, it has
been decided to establish a Naval and Military Bank, to be
conducted upon the most approved Banking Principles.
The following are amongst the objects intended to be
accomplished by this Company :-
Ist. The General agency of Regiments.
2d. The conducting of the private affairs of officers
generally, receiving monies on their account, and
transmitting the same abroad or otherwise.
3(1. The taking charge of Claims for Prize Money, &c.
4th. The obtaining for the Widows and Orphans of
Officers the Government Pensions to which they
may be entitled.
sth. The Discounting of Officers' Bills.
6th. The advancing to Officers sums of Money upon ap-
proved security, and assisting them in the purchase
of promotion.
7th. The negotiating Exchanges, Retirements, &c., as
Army Agents, and generally conducting all Naval
and Military monetary matters.
It is also the intention of the Directors to establish
Branches or Agencies in the different Garrison Towns and
Camps, both in England and the Colonies, thereby afford-
ing to Officers the utmost facility for transmitting monies
from one place to another, without trouble or expense.
As it is not intended to call up mere than £2O per share
of the subscribed capital, the remaining ISO will form an
ample guarantee to the customers of the Bank.
The value of Joint Stock Banking Shares is too well
known to require comment here. Even those so recently
announced command a premium of from 20 to 400 per cent.,
but as the Royal Naval and Military Banking Corporation is
established upon the same principle as the Agra and
United Service Bank, it may be as well to state That the
£5O shares of the later are now realising £l3O, whilst it is
paying a dividend of 18 per cent. per annum, besides
having formed a Reserve Fund of no less than £225,000.
Thel3irectors place this project before the public, confi-
dent that there is a wide field of action and usefulness for
such an Institution ; that the business of the Bank will
prove remunerative from its commencement; and that the
highest success will be eventually achieved. Nearly one-
half of the Capital has been already privately subscribed
for.

A deposit of £1 par Share must be paid to the Company's
Bankers, or to the Secretary, previously to any application
for Shares being sent in.
Applications for Shares to be made through the Bankers,
Brokers, or the Secretary, at the Company's Temporary
Offices.

- Negotiations are pending for the transfer of the business
of one or two Army and Navy Agents.
