PROSPECTUS.

London, ay 1 863
The foundation of institutions on the ContinentMwhich corn' -
ine large capital and credit ter financial and industrial en-
erprise has now become an established fact, and in many
rases their success has been remarkable. Such institutions
lay be abused, and become mere instruments of speculation ;
ut when prudently conducted and directed towards legiti-
late business it cannot be denied that they meet one of the
Pal wants of the age.
England has hitherto not participated in this movement,
nd the consequence is, that Paris has to a considerable ex-
ent superseded London as the centre of financial enterprise.
London, nevertheless, affords by far the best sphere for a
relit managed undertaking of this description. it is the
reatest money market of the world ; the point to which all
3reign nations resort to raise capital ; the place where large
ontracts can be made and leans negotiated. There is clearly
0 other money market where concentr ited capital and credit
ught to command a more se 'ure or a larger profit.
England also, in her Colonies, and above all in her vast In-
Lien Empire, affords a field for legitimate enterprise, which
Unequalled by any other cmintry. India, with a population
f 180,000,000, rapidly advancing in wealth and prosperity, re-
uirea nothing more to ac;,elerato its development than the
irection towards its territory of some portion of that vast
nnual accumulation of English capital which seeks invest-
lent at a low rate of interest To ally the demand of India
or capital at 10 or 12 per cent. with the English demand for
avestment at 4 or 5 per cent., of itself affords an ample
phere for operations.
It is to meet these requisites that some gentlemen experi-
need in financial and mercantile operations have associated
itmselves together in order to form an English company,
alliance with the following leading tanking houses and
annalists of France, who are about to form a similar corn-
any in Paris, under the title of "Societe generale pt ur
ivoriser le developpment de l'industrie et du commerce de la
'ranee," the application for a concession being made by—

A treaty has been signed with this party by which they
übscribe for 20,000 shares in this Company's present issue,
n d the same number in case of a second issue, the Company
Ascribing for 20,000 of their shares, and arrangements being
lade by which the two Companies act as each other's agents,
nd have the option of participating to a certain extent in
WI others operations.
The business will be to negotiate Loans and Concessions,
seiet industrial enterprises, Public Works and Railway un-
ertakings ; negotiate Foreign, Indian, and Colonial Bonds ;
mduct Mercantile transactions ; and establish agencies for
trge commission business ; a word, to undertake all such
perations as an intelligent and experienced Cap,talist might
feet on his own account with a capital of millions, with the
aception of such purely speculative transactions as are pro-
ibi ted by the Memorandum of Association.
The credit and resources derived from a large subscribed capi-
-11 could thee be employed in earning dividend with a corn-
aratively small paid-up capital. It is probable that not more
ran 40 or 5o per cent would ever be called up on any shares,
further issue being made whenever the increase of business
:!quired it. No call will exceed £2 per share, or be made at
itervals of lees than two months.
Instead of fixed salary, the Directors will receive no remu-
ieration until the Shareholders have a dividend of 5 per
tut. or upwards, and will then be paid by an allowance of
) per cent. on the divisible profits of the year and their
iterests are further identified with the success of the Com-
any by clauses in the Articles of Association, and by giv ng
here the privilege of taking a fifth of any further issue of
hares. Subject to this, and to the subscription of 20,0c0
hares in each New Series by the French party, alt new
hares will be distributed pro rata among existing Share-
elders.
20,0'0 shares have been subscribed as above stated by the
'rench party, and the remaining 105,000 by private subscrip-
[on ; but arrangements have been made for deducting from
wee subscriptions, so as to give the public the option of
übscribino• for 35,000 shares.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The object of this enterp•ise is to take advantage of the
rnpulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of
he Excise Duties, under circumstances peculiarly favourable,
he materials being obtained by a patent process in full ope-
-11114 n, at prices very highly remunerative, as compared with
he cost of similar products in the open market.
It is well known that very large fortunes have been
.calised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which
'mounted to £2O to £95 per cent. upon the value of first-class
news and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con-
tantly lucre tsing demand for the supply of B3oks, Period!. RIB, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and
eery remunerative business to a manufactory situated close
A the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plans, with
he greatest regard to economy of production by the saving
d labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per-
ect description.
Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1662,
t is proposed to purchase at their Retail cost, the under-
'akiags of the Ettrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the
Wmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under
the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company.
To carry out the intended purchase, to double the scale
3f the Paper Mill, to utilise to the fullest extent the produc-
tive power of the works at Grays, and to provide the necessary
working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in
shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as
a fund of credit, deemed highly desirable for the safe and
profitable working of a Limited Company.
After providing for every contingency, the net profits
calculated upon the present working and receipts, as applied
to the enlarged production, viz., 32 to 36 tons of paper, and
n to 30 tons of manure powder, perweek, will be from £20,(00
to £25,000 per annum, according to the condition of the mar-
kets, giving a dividend of from 15 to 20 per cent., with pros-
pects of considerable increase upon favourable developments
)f general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the
state of affairs in America, and other disturbing causes.
A very large share of the capital has already been sub-
scribed by the present owners of the properties.
Prospectuses and forma of application for shares mbe obtamed from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, or at the

Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed
