INCREASE OF CAPITAL
Ily the issue of 37,500 ordinary shares of £lO each, repre-
senting the nominal sum of £375,000. £1 per share to be paid
on application, Z 1 per share 14 days after allotment, £3 per
share on the Ist October, 1864, and £2 per share the Ist April,
1865, making a payment of £7 per share.
The Directors give notice that they are prepared to receive
applications for the new shares, the issue of which was autho-
rised by the Special General Meeting held on the 3d March
Instant, in order to enable the Company to perform the con-
tract recently entered into with the General Government of
New Zealand, for a monthly mail service between Sydney,
New Zealand. and Panama, in correspondence with the Royal
(West India) Mail Company's steamers between Southampton
and Aspinwall (Isthmus of Panama;.
The Intercolonial Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was
formed in 1858, under a contract to perform the mail service
between the several provinces of New Zealand, and between
that colony and Sydney, for whic i they are at present in the
receipt of subsidies amounting to upwards of £36,000 per
annum.
From the commencement of the eanama line, in May, 1865,
the minimum subsidies payable to the Company for the
oceanic and interprovincial services will amount to £96,000
per annum.
The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, and the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company have agreed to enter into work-
ing arrangements for through traffic, and their fleets, with
those of the three other steam lines, converging on the new
I.oste, will operate as "feeders" to this Company's ships.
When, therefore, it is considered that New Zealand is 2,100
tulles nearer to England, via Panama, than by the present
overland route, and 4,000 miles nearer than by the Cape of Good
Mope, and that the intended line will possess the advantage
economy, both of time and money, there can be no doubt
a large portion of the existing passenger, li4ht goods, and
specie traffic, will be secured by this Company.
The nominal capital of the Company will, in the aggregate,
be 4562,5, of which £412,500 will be paid up.
The new shares will be entitled to dividend from the re-
spective times when the instalments fall due, and on pay-
ments in advance interest at the rate of 5 percent. per annum
Will be allowed.
The profits on existing lines are alone sufficient to pay a
large dividend on the new as well as on the old shares.
Detailed prospectuses, reports, and forms of application for
shares can be obtained at tne offices of the Company, and of
the brokers and solicitors.

This Company has been formed for the construction of a
Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's),
in the Isle of Man. Tho improved trade of these important
towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing
population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the
number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate
introduction of railways.
The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great ; and
its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield
and avave average value ; whilst around the Coast there
are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea-
weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of
land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com-
paratively unavailable.
Slate Quarries are in active operation ; and the quality
of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to
any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite
near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in
the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of
railway facilities, become available for export.
One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St.
John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is
also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce
of these mines is now brought by land-carriage (there being
am water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly
ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as
Well as all necessaries required by the inland population,
are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides
these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held
during the year in this district, must add considerably to
the annual revenue of the Company.
The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown,
Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the
great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of
arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and
from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin-
cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels;
the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the
route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex-
pansive.
Tne access to the Island is easy, and the means of corn- I znunication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven,
Zilloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by
sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient.
Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above
100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports
during
the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian
relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a
matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas
to the interior, and across the Island to Peel.
The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the
salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The
picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap
living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex-
pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so
small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per-
manent place of residence.
Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities aro
now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of
the Ports of Douglas and Peel.
The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently
established.
The Lines of Rail will bo single, with requisite sidings.
The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the
gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula-
tion along it are most favourable to the project.
From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much
care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official
Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic will re-
turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol-
lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : •
Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum.

Leaving for Dividend ......

Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all
necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with
the St: riding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an
Act of the Local Parliament.
Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island,
and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the
value of Railway property in England and other countries,
no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can-
not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this
Lino.
the
andeminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase
furnishmake the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations,
Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs,
upon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent, per Annum.
of the Line, on the amount
will be allowed, until the opening
raid upon shares.
An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon-
sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years.
Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from

PROSPECTUS.

While Exchange Banks and Credit ns u ions have been
established to connect this country financially with almost
every foreign market, and to give fact Hies for conveying to
our shores every description of merchandise, it is remarkable
that as soon as the operation of importing is performed the
monetary facilities are withdrawn. The bills drawn upon
our merchants mature, and must either be 'net by the mer-
chant's capital unaided or by sales. Thiv, when tempo-
rari y there is an excess of any co,nmodity imported, its
price is undu y depr,ssed, and s riou. losses are incurre
Ordinary bankers and discount houses dislike making ad-
vances upon merchandise, having no organisation for exa-
mining the goods and correct y estimating their value.
What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know-
ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Division of
labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and
profitable.
To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow-
ledge, the Warrant Bank'ng Company is formed. The bu 1-
ness of the Company will mainly :onsist in making ,dy noes
upoji deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by
dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly
inspected and valued on behalf of the Company, and with a
proper margin to allow for depreciation.
These advances will be made in a ceptances by the Com-
p.,ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re-
present mer handise readily convertible, and b at the same

time secured by the whole ca ital of a poWerlul Company, the
exact position of which will be patent to al , there can be no
doubt that the whole Die ount Market will be available when
it is desired by tho holder to turn the bill into cash.
_ _

It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an
institution, while it will be of great service to merchant., and
increase the stability of the entire class, will be an equal con-
venience to bant ees and clivount firms, furnishing them with
a class of bills raeely obtainable. In order to render the due
payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors
undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company
will be invested, and, sofar as practicable, remain invested in
British and East Indian Government securities, and upon
deposit at call, and it is proposed that the capital thus paid
up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of
at least £2OO,COP.
The field which exists for such an undertaking will be at
once apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of
foreign impor s for the past year, which amounted (not to
speak of home produce) to over £200,C00,000. If we estimate
the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse, as
equal to three months' consumption, it would represent an
amount of £50,000,000.
Advances may also be made when deemed advisable noon
Mocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con-
vertible.

A. re ,sonable proportion will always be maintained be-
tween the extent of business undertaken a, d the caFed-up
capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased
to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated,
simply as a guarantee fund.
Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool,
Manchester, Glasgow, &c. &c.
Tle Direc,ors will not receive any remuneration until the
shareholders have been paid £5 per cent. by way of dividend
on their paid-up capital. Atter payment of 5 per cent. the
Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits.
No promotion money will be paid for originating this un-
dertaking. The preliminary expenses will be confined to the
necessary disbursements.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, and at the tem-
porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares
will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share has been
previou-ly p ,id to the bankers of the Company.
In the event of no a lotment being made the deposit will be
returned without deduction, and should the number allotted
be 1,-ss than the number applied for, the payment in excess
will be applied towards the balance of the deposit.
