PROSPECTUS.

This Company is formed for the purchase and working of
the celebrated native silver mines of Norway, known as the
"Skara Mines," which are 17 in number, and comprise an
area of upwards of 75,000 acres. lying about seven English
miles north-east of the City of Kongsberg, the seat of the
Government Mining Direction, about 40 miles from Chris-
tiana, the capital of Norway, and about 20 miles from the
seaport of Drammen, from wi ence there is steam communi-
cation to within seven miles of Skara, leaving only that dis-
tance of land carria2e to and from the mines.
The exclusive rights over all the precious metals in the
entire district are held by the present proprietors in perpe-
tuity, under a grant direct from the King of Sweden and
Norway, at a merely nominal rent of 60 specie thal rs (about
£l6) per annum, and they will be conveyed to the company
on most advantageous terms, the vendors agreeing to aocet..t
£15,500 for their entire interest therein, £10,500 thereof pay-
able in fully paid-up shares, which are only to be entitled to
dividends on the amount called up on the other shares, and
the remaining £5,000, which will include all their outlay up
to the present time (which has been very considerable), by instalments extending over several years ; thus testifying their confidence in the project and making their benefit con-
tingent on the success of the enterprise.
A full statement wi,l be supplied on application. contain-
ing detailed particulars as to the works already in ctive
operation in the district, its great resources, and the general
state of mining prospects in Norway for native silver. It has
been drawn up from the returns made by the authority of
the Norwegian government, and is completely corroborated
by recent reports from practical surveyors, and supersedes
the necessity of dwelling particularly in this prospectus on
points usually made conspicuous where there is an absence
(Touch reliable information, and demonstrates conclusively
that no enterprise could afford more assuring prospects of
large and speedy returns. The well ascertained existence of
silver veins of great richness throughout the property does
away with the uncertainty usually attendant on mining
operations.
The statistics given show that the Norwegian Government
mines during 25 years ending 1858, w, rking on exactly simi-
lar ground in an adjoining district, yielded on an average
5,110 per annum, which, after allowing £lO,OlO yearly for
expenses, left an annual average net grofit of £44,200 yearly,
while the returns just published for 1859 give a net profit of
£67,125. The Christiania Vinoran. or No wegian Mining
Company, in the same locality, which has only been at work
for two years, has already made large returns, and commands
a ready sale for the shares, on which to dollars have been
paid, at 150 to 155 dollars.
By special permission the official director of the Norwegian
Government Mines has joined the board of the "Skara," and
will render active superintendence and assistance in develop-
ing the property of the Company. No payment of any kind will be chargeable against the Company for promotion, and
the preliminary expenses will be confined solely to actual
necessary outlay.
Prospectuses in full, with the Government reports and
statistics mentioned above, the reports of Mr. J. 11. Clements,
C.E., F.G.S. whose experience in silver mining operations
in Mexico and South America embraces a period of 27 years,
of Mr. Th. Hordam, late Superintendent of the Norwegian
Government Mines, and forms of applications for shares, can
be obtained at the Brokers, Solicitors. or Offices of the Com-
pany, from any of whom they will be forwarded post free if
requested.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since the beginning of the year 1860, the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments cm the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society. and other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
ior which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,100 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a suport which
has enabied them to establish their present magpnificent fleet
or 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and tly national a work.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
tutioty
mali of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
n in its most pitiable fo
putted by sickness and dise masr—eviz., that which is accom-
, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate aupport, ybe rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a verylarge 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 Board feel it theirimperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued suppaFt,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
