The International Financial Society (Limited) have been
encouraged to aid in the organisation of this Company by the
strong desire for its success evinced by the Chamber of Agri-
culture and the commercial bo ; y in Mauritius, ma by the
ready support it has met with from leading houses connected
'with the colony.
The progress of the island as a sugar-producing colony has
of late been extremely rapid. The production of sugar has
more than doubled within the last twelve years ; and the
crop of last year (viz., 1861-63) exceeded 150,n00 tons.
Within the same period of time there has been an increase
of 130,000 in the population, consisting, for the most part, of
Indian immigrants who are becoming permanent settlers.
Railways, the first section of which will probably be opened
early next year, are in course of construction ; and cannot fail
fur, her to develop the resources of the island.
The annual exports have for the last five years exceeded,
on an average, Z2,500,0.,0 ; while the imports have, during
the same period, amounted to little more than £2,00%000.
'rhecolonial nudgets have, for many years past, shown, on
the average, a large surplus.
The legal rate of interest on mortgages in Mauritius is 9
Per cent. ; and the Company in raising money in England on
Debentures, for investment in the colony, will preserve such
a margin as, together with the commission they may receive
for their agency, should enable them to realise a large profit
on the small amount of paid-up capital required to conduct
the business.
With a view to secure the debenture holders, it will be a
rule that the total amount raised by the Company on Deben-
tures shall never exceed the amount invested in Mortgages;
and that investments shall be made only in First Mortgages,
and for amounts not exceeding half the estimated values of
the properties offered as security.
Arrangements have already been made for placing the first
issue of debentures on satisfactory terms.
For Mortgage L Jane in Mauritius, of six years and up-
wards, the borrowers will be required to contribute half-
yearly to a Sinking Fund, on the principle of "Credit
Fonder," which has been applied with so much advantage to
both lender and borrower in many parts t f the Continent of
Europe.
In addition to employing its own capital, the Company will
invest the money of constituents, guaranteeing interest, or
principal and interest, as may be agreed upon.
There is in Mauritius an efficient register of original titles
to land, connected with the " Land Court" of the island ; and
also a Transcription Office, where successive titles may be
traced.
The mortgage investments made by the Government sav-
ings bank of Mauritius, during the last twenty-five years,
Prove that investments judiciously made under the mortgage
law of the island are eminently secure.
A new law which is passing through the Local Legislature
Will reduce the operation of lending on mortgage to a condi-
tion of still greater simplicity and safety.
The management of the Company will be vested in the
Board of Directors in London, assisted by a Board in Mau-
ritius
The influential support given to the Company both in.
England and Mauritius, and the great want of such an insti-
tution, must secure an ample field for safe and lucrative ope-
rations.
The Directors of the International Financial Society feel,
therefore, no hesitation in recommending the undertaking to
the favourable notice of the public.

ciation may be inspected at the Offices of the solicitois,
