PROSPECTUS.
The rapid development of the commerce of this country,
and its present healthy condition, calla for a corresponding
increase in all the means which are necessary for freely con-
ducting it, and the ready conversion of Bills of Exchange,
and other documents representing property in transit, into
money, is one of its most essential elements.
This company has been formed with a large and increasing
capital, and wilt be has.
h the Banking and moneyed
interest as a means of employing sur,lus Funds with perfect
security, and private depositors willalways be enabled to se-
cure a lair rate of interest for long or short periods. The
mercantile or manufacturing community wilt obtain._ addi-
tional facilities for legitimate discount by the conversion et
a long existing business into a powerful feint-took Corpo-
ration.
The moment for establishing. this Company is
peculiarly
ilfe
is
appropriate, the trade of the country is
from speculative inflation, and there doubtom pa r

sion eare
the
future, the prospects are very favourab e for a large
of c mmerce.
The principle of carrying on
been
to
and fully proved,neratinoabymeans
of a Joint-stock Company has ,een tested
and scarcely a doubt can exist of the perfect success
of an institution for this object under good management and
founded on a sound basis.
The directors, being fully impressed tha- much valuable
time has frequently been lost and Het incurred in new en-
terprises for want of experienced management in the earlier
years of their foundation, have concluded negotiations for the
purchase and transfer of the long.-established business of
vlrCr.F.

undivided services have been secured aQ Managing Dirt ctor,
thus enabling the Company to commence operations on an
important scale at co, ce.
The Directors expressly intimate that there is no payment
to be made to promoters, the necessa y expenses incidental
to the formation of the Company only will be incurred, and
they have made arrangements by which the entire prelimi-
nary expenses, including legal chargts, will fail within one-
bag per o nt. on the oipital.

PROSPECTUS.
This Company is established for the purpose of transacting
the ord nary business of a first-c'ass discount house. Until
wit, in the la • t few years this profitable branch ot c miner-
cial enterprise has been in the hands ot a few pr vate eapi-
twists, and alt,nugh from the ma ,nitu me of discount opera-
tions in the City of London it is a legit ma e bus n.ss t•-r a
ioi t-stock company only one such c ompany is at present in
exist% ce. This mato, partly be accounted for by the want of
experience in the applicattyn to such a company of the aw o
Limited and t e fear In monetary cue es thatthet
Li
Plf lie would hesitate to deposit large sums of money wit:, a
c' mpan• so constituted.
This uncertainty, however,no longer exists, as the Company
referred to ha .eon depos tat the }resent time over four mil-
lions
1.,0f money—a significant evidence of the onfidence which
is is pr pared to place in such an establishment
" managed.
The Company alluded to have just declared a dividend at
the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, carrying over to the next
account an amount almost equal to that app-opriated to divi-
dends ; while their shares command a premium of £3lss. to
ta per share upon £5 paid.
Diln establishing the City Discount Company (Limited), the
retors do not pretend to introduce any novelty in their
ansactions, their aim being, to secure a first-class business,
and not to endanger the capital of the Company by taking
safe
undue risks, or adopting any measure that will not tend
takingly and legitimately to promote the success of the under-
. -
e operations of the Company will embrace—
The Discounting of approved Mercantile Bills.
Granting Loans upon ne,gociable Securities.
Receiving Money on D. posit, at Call, and on Short
Notice, or for longer periods under special agreements.
The Directors have concluded a • reliminary agreement,
wlai-h will enable the Company to acquire an existing first-
class business with which to commence operations forthwith.
Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed
to the prospc etus, accompanied by the deposit of £1 per share.
If no allotment be made the deposits will be returned in full;
and if a less number be allotted than is apalied for the sur-
plus will be used towards the ayment on allotment.

Way Terminus, at Kin's-cross.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BU( CLEUCIT, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle ofe
ffreer.
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without th
nullity of uovernors' letrers. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is necom-
Pznied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
pable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly hoard feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
