PROSPECTUS.
This Company 's formed for the purchase and working of
the Carloggas Tin Mines, situated in the Parish of St.
Stenhens, St. Austel, in the County of Cornwall, a district well
known among mineralogists as being rich in Tin Mb.eral
deposits. The sett is very extensive, and held under lease
from Lady Grenville, for a term of twenty-one years, at a
rox ally of one-fifteenth.
The promising character of the Mines to be worked by the
present Company fully warrants the expe,tation that large
returns will be realised ; five Tin Lodes are known to pass
through the sett, and on one of which operations have been
c irried on to some considerable extent by the tormer
Workers.

The Mine is situated on the junction of' Granite and Killas,
so favourable for the production of metallic minerals, parti-
cularly Tin.
The ancient excavations on the backs of the lodes give evi-
dence that vast quantities of Tin have been raised on the
property, and recent explorations demonstrate this sett to be
of no ordinary kind, it being merely a question of capital for
a fuller development to bring it into a dividend state.
The reports annexed are from men of long practical ex-
perience in the ()Istria ; their testimony as to the highly
promising charac•er of the property, and the great local ad-
vantages by which it is surrounded, will be read with inte-
rest, and leaving nothing- to be urged by the Directors, ex-
cept an assurance of their strong c'nfidence as to its value,
and that ere long it will bear comparison with aa,y of the rich
Mines opened in the district.
A contract has been entered into for the purchase of the
property on most favourable terms —viz., for £6,000 (0€2,500
in cash, and £3,500 in paid-up Shares).
The capital of the Company is fixed at £15,000, in 3,000
Shares of £5 each ; it is, however, estimated that £2 per share
will be ample for all purpi ses, to place the Min?, in a profit-
able state, as immediate returns of Tin can be made.
The Company having teen registered with limited liability,
no Shareholder can, under any circumstances whatever, be
made responsible for a greater amount than that of the shares
to which he subscribes.

A considerable portion of the capital has already been sub.
scribed.

The Directors propose to commence operations when they
consider a sufficient number of shares have been subscribed
for. Applications for Shares to be made in the subjoined
form. The deposit money of 10s. per share to be paid to the
Company's Bankers, for which receipts will be given. If no
allotment be made, the deposit money will be returned in
full, and if a less number be al otted than is applied for the
surplus will be used towards the payment on allotment.
Prospectus s and forms of application for Share 4, and all
further information, may be obtained at the Offices of the
Company.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been formed to meet a long recognised
want. It will enable persons to furnish their apartments or
houses with the money they would otherwise have to pay as
rent.
A married couple, occupying furnished apartments at a
weekly rental of 305., or £7. per annum, might have similar
apartments, unfurnished, at £3O per annum. The use of fur-
niture, therefore, costs them £4B a year, whereas tie cost of
furnishing would not exceed .£ 100—which, being provided, a
saving of £4B per annum would be effected.'
The Equitable Furnishing Company will effeltt this saving
by supplying the furniture, the best of its kind, at ready-
money prices, the party making his election to purchase at
the end of a year and a half, two years, or three years. In
the meantime, the furniture will be taken on hire, the hire
being periodically paid. The whole of the payments will be
allowed in the event of purcha e, and thus the money which
would have gone as rent will have bought the furniture.
The charge made by the Company will be 7i per cent. per
annum on the price of the goods, if purchased at the end of
18 months ; of si per cent., if at the end of two years ; and of
10 per cent., if at the end of three years.
The Company will retain the ownership of all furniture
until it has been paid for, so that any appropriation of it
would constitute a criminal offence. Seizure for rent is the
only adverse contingency to which the Company will be ex-
posed ; but as the deposit payable will always cover the first
rent due, that risk will be small, and it is allowed for in the
estimate of profits.
The Directors have secured an established and first rate
furniture business, returning net profits of more than 20 per
cent , with unusually commodious and admirably adapted
premises. in one of the best situations at the West-end of the
town, and a large stock of welt-seasoned Furniture, exhibited
in suites of apartments, in various styles. This will consti-
tute a very advantageous basis for the Company's own busi-
ness. and justifies the Directors in anticipating for the Share-
holders, after liberally providing for all possible contingen-
cies, interest at the rate of at least 20 per cent. per annum.
The following certificate will be satisfactory on this point :
Ornee, Parliament-street.
" I have gone through Western Life
the several estimates and cilcula-
tions upon which the statements in the prospectus of the
Fquitable Furnishing Company are based, and I find that,
after allowing considerable margin for contingencies, the
probable profits as therein stated are faithfully represented.

The latest accounts show that the same ratio of increase is
being maintained. The following is an extract from the
Melbourne correspondent of " The Times," published in
that piper on the 13th April, 1863 :—The weekly production
(of Gold) in the province of Otago ranges from 12,000 to 15,000
uunces, and new fields are opening out in all directions "

The Bank of New Zealand (established in 1861) declared, In
the first year of its existence a dividend at the rate of 8 per
cent. ; but its actual net profit for the year was much larger.
In these circumstances the Directors believe that by estab-
lishing the BANK OF OTAGO LIMITED, they will supply
a legitimate want of the Colony. and at the same time pre-
sent a lucrative and safe investment to Shareholders.

The head Office will be in London, the Chief Branch at
