with a correction for increasing population, Vt.,
The actual number of deaths in last week exceed"

PROSPECTUS.

London, May, 1 The foundation of institutions on the Continent whichcom-
bine large capital and credit f.r financial and industrial en-
terprise has now become an established fact, and in many
cases their success has been remarkable. Such institutions
may b,-; abused, and become mere instruments of speculation ;
but when prudently conducted and directed towards legit'.
mat? t usiness it cannot be denied that they meet tne of the
rral wants of the age.
England has hither' o not participated in this movement,
and the consequence is, that Paris has to a considerable ex-
tent superseded London as the centre of financial enterprise.
London, nevertheleas, affords by far the best sphere for a
well managed undertaking* of this description. it is the
greatest money market of the world ; the point to which all
foreign nations resort to raise capital ; the Place where large
contracts can be made and loans negotiated. There is clearly
no other money market where concentr .tedeapitl and credit
ought to command a more se ure or a larger profit.
England also, in her Colonies, and above all in her vast In-
dian Empire, affords a field for legitimate enterprise, which
is unequalled by any other c,untry. India, with a population
of lao,oco,con, rapldty adraming in wealth and prosperity, re-
quires nothing more to accelerate its development than the
direction towards its territori of some portion cif that vast
annual accumulation of lengl sh capital which seeks invest-
rneut at a low rate of interest. To ally the demand of India
for capital at 10 or 12 per cent. with the English demand for_
investment at 4 or 5 per cent., of itself affords an ample
sphere for operations. _

It is to meet these requisites that some gentlemen experi-
enced in financial and mercantile operations have associated
th,mselves together in order to form an English company,
In alliance with the following leading ranking houses and
capitalists of France, who are about to form a similar com-
pany in Paris, under the title of " Societe generile ur
favoriser le developpment de 'lndustrie et du commerce de la
France," the application for a concession being made by—
M. Archdeacon, Ancien Agent de Change.
M. Partholony, President de la Cie. du Chemin de Fer de
Parish Orleans.
Mel. Bischoffsheim, Ooldschmidt, and Cie., Banquiers k
Paris.

sfm. Edwd. 131ount and Cie., Banquiers it Paris.
M. Cahen D'Anvers, Banquier it Paris.
M. Davillier (Henri),President dela Chambre de Commerce
de Paris.
M. Den Jere, President du Tribunal de Commerce de Paris.
M. Fere, Censeur de la Banque de France.
MM. flentach, Lutscher, and Cie , Banquiers k Paris.
M. Leroux (Alfred), Depute an Corps Legislatif.
M. Lucy Sedillot, Ancien President du Tribunal de Com-
metce oc la Seine.
MM. Mirabaud, Paccard, and Cie , Banquiers it Paris.
M. Perier (Jh.), Regent de la Banque de France.
M. Pinard, du Comptoir d'Escompte de Paris.
M. Schneider, Vice-President du Corps Les,rislatit.
[ M. SiGuestmons, President de la Cie. des Chemins de Fer de
'.
M. P. Talabot, Directeur des Chemins de Fer de Paris e,
Lyon, eta la Idediterranee.
A treaty has been signed with this party by which they
subscribe for 20,000 shares in this Company's present issue,
and the same number in case of a second issue, the Company
subscribing for 20,000 of their shares, and arrangements being
made by which the two Companies act as each other's agents,
and have the otttion of participating to a certain extent in
each others operations.
The business will be to negotiate lams and Concessions assist industrial enterprises, Public Works and Railway un-
dertakings
negotiate Foreign, Indian, and Colonial Bonds ;
conduct Mercantile transactions ; and establish agencies for
large commission business • in a word, to undertake all such
operations as an intelligent and experienced Cap talist might
effect on his own account with a capital of millions, with the
exception of such purely speculative transactions as are pro-
hibited by the Memorandum of Association.
The credit an,i resources derived from a large subs cribed capi-
tal could thvs be employed in earning dividend with a com-
paratively sm4ll paid. up capital. It is probable that not more
than 40 or 50 per tent would ever be called up on any shares,
a further issue being, made whenever the increase of business
required it. No call will exceed £2 per share, or be made at
intervs Is of less than two months.
Instead of fixed salary, the Directors will receive eo Teem-
meration until the Snateho.dcrs have a dividend of 5 per
cent. or upwards, and will then be paid by an allowance of
10 per cent. on the divisible profits of the year; and their
interests are further identified with the success of the Com-
pany by clauses in the Articles of Association, and by giv ng them the privilege of taking a fifth of any further issue of
shares. Subject to this, and to the subscription of 20,0'0
shares in each New Series by the French party, all new
shares will be distributed pro rata among existing Share-
holders.
20,0 0 shares have been subscribed as above stated by the
French party, and the remaining 105,000 by private subscrip-
tion ; but arrangements have been made for deducting from
these subscriptions, so as to give the public the option of
subscribino• for 55.000 shares.
Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association lie
for inspection at the office of the Solicitors, Messrs. Baxter,
Rose, Norton, and Co., 6, Victoria-street, Westminster; and
at the Temrorary Offices of the Company.
Applications for shaves may be made to the Directors, r 2,
King William-street, city ; to Messrs. J. II u•chinson and
50n,15, Angel-court ;cr to Messrs. Lawrence, Son, and Pearce,
Auction Mart, Bartholomew-lane.
