PROSPECTUS.
Encouraged by the desire of the Government of his High-
ness the Viceroy of Egypt, several Commercial Houses and
Society have united to krm this Company:—
The Internat onal Financial Society, London.
Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen, London.
Messrs. Marcuard, Andre, and Cie., Paris.
Mr. W. F. Jaeger, Frankfort.
Mr. S. Sulzbaco, Frankfort.
Messrs. Oppenheim, Nephew, and Cie., Alexandria.
Messrs. Dervieu and Cie., Alexandria.
The object of the Company is to devote special attention to
the development of Commerce with Upper Egypt, Nubia, the
Soudan, and adjoining countries, as well as the borders of the
Red Sea, and to establish trading relations with those dis-
tricts, the enormous resources of Which—till now almost un-
developed—are so well known as to render it needless to
enter into a lengthened description.
The Company will buy or exchang,e the produce, which
sugar,consists of cotton, coffee, rice, tobacco, gni". oils,
ivory, Benno, beeswax, ostrich feathers, gold dust, silk, in-
digo, c.
The Viceroy of Egypt has, by the grant of a liberal subsidy,
called into existence a Steam Navigation Company for the
Red Sea and the Nile he is also about, with the view of as-
sisting the operations of this Company, to complete, at his
own expense, telegraphic communication between Alexandria
and all the principal stations which have been selected for
the operations of the Company, extending to Khartoum, the
farthest town of importance in the interior of Africa within
the limits of Egyptian territory, and to Take on the frontiers
of Abyssinia.
By these means the difficulty of communication, hitherto
existing, will be removed, a, d means of transport greatly
facilitated. It will be an object of this Company to encou-
rage all enterprises which will tend to provide means of ,
rapid transport, whether by •steamers, railways, canals, or
by the organisation of caravans. It will also be an object of
the Company to encourage, by the advance of money to cul-
tivators, importation of seed, establishment of cotton gins,
ac., the cu tivation of cotton in tipper Egypt, where there
exist immense tracts of land capable of producing it to al-
inost any orient. The population in those districts is nume-
rous and industrious.
It is a well-ascertained fact that, in Upper Egypt and the
Soudan, cultivators and traders can afford to borrow money
at 4 a, d 5 per cent. per month, and still amass considerable
Wealth.
'1 he Company intend to establish agencies on both coasts
of the Red Sea. On the Arabian coast Dgeddah has been
selected as a principal place of commerce. On the coast of
Abyssinia agencies will also be established at Kossier. Sa-
wakim, and Massawah.
The trading operations of the Company will extend from
Cairo up the Nile, as far as possib'e int.) the interior of Africa,
following the courses of the White and Blue Nile, whilst
communication will be carried on between the interior and
the Red Sea, and its east and west coasts.
It is intended to commence operations below Stout, ex-
tending gradually upwards, employing the capital, in the
first instance, by making advances to cultivators in Upper
Egypt, operations with which the Alexandri,n Directors are
Well acquainted, and which, be ing highly lucrative, at once
Insure a large interest on the capital employed.
The capital of the Company will be gradually called up as
its operations are extended.
Mr. Sakakini, who has for many years carried on, and is
thoroughly acquainted with, the trade of Upper Egypt and
its adjoining countries, has consented to act temporarily as
Manager, in order to give the Company the advantage of his
experience in Ihe organisation of a sufficient and competent
ataft
The Articles of Association will provide for a defined and
hated participation by the Directors in the profits, after
Payment of interest, on the capital called up, and the houses
;who have founded the Company will be entitled to the privi-
lege of taking, one-th'rd of any iurther issue of Shares, sub-
Jed to which all new Scares will be distributed pro rata
amongst the existing Shareholders.

'lllB was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free

governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
ittion in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
ilied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
',_'l3able of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
ilie casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
trda ln order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
it e" the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
ogratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
