ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for the purpose of manufacturing
Coma-Nut F,bre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent
granted to George Davies, dated the 21th April. 1861
The principal feature of Davies's Invention consists in the
improved pile of the mat, and, owing to the mode of weavln
great duragreat
dbility is given he fabric at a reduced cost of
manufacture.
The superiority of articles manufactured by this process
over the present method will be well understo. d in the trade
when it is stated that matting of all descrip,ions, and car-
riage and door mats, Sze., have a thick fibrous pile upon the
surface hitherto unattained.
If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in
full.
Specimens of the new and improved manufacture may be
seen at the offices of the Company, where applications for

The Directors of the Life Association of England having
secured the influence of very valuable connections throughout
the United Kingdom, in most of the Colonies of the British
Empire, and several Continental countries, and having re-
ceived promises of subscriptions for a large number of shares,
will enter-n/16n the b'usiness of Life Assurance-on the 25th
July next, on•which day a compete prospectus, detailing the,
plan a the Company's operations, and containtng tables of
rates, will be issued to the public.
Arrangements also have already been absolutely made by
which a large business will be acquired by the Compnny at
once and further negotiations to the same end are far ad-
vanced.

The Directors will further carry out an entire reconstruc-
tion of the system (,f Life Assurance, on a plan devised by
their Consulting Referee, by which the Association's business
transactions will be rendered perfectly equitable in opera-
tion, and afford the best security, whilst the Association will
be placed in the beat condition to fulfil its future engage-
ments. The plan in question will be well adapted to the
wants of the people, affording all the advantages of present
Life Offices, and some of those of a Bank. It will also ope-
rate at less risk, less expense, and lower premiums than
offices ordinarily constituted.
The. Directors, therefore, confidently anticipate a very
handsome dividend from the first year of business opera-
tions.
The value of Insurance Shares as an Investment, evidenced
by the large premiums to which most of them have gradually
rise., and the handsome and increasing dividends and
bonuses which have been paid upon them, is a fact so well
ascertained and acknowledged as to need no comment.
Interest will be paid upon the capital at 5 per cent. per
annum, until a dividend of larger amount shall have accrued.
The liability of the shareholders is limitei to the amount
unpaid on their shares.

'the Local Boards in the principal Cities and Towns of the
United Kingdom will be selected from the most influential
shareholders.

The sum the Directors have agreed to pay on account of
preliminary expenses is merely sufficient to recoup the actual
expenditure, which has been regulated throughout with the
strictest rcQard to economy.
Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained
from, and applications for the remaining shares, and for
Agencies, may be made to, the Secretary, at the Office of the
Company, or the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers before
mentioned.

This Company is formed to carry on a trade with the na-
tives on the West Coast of Africa, by bartering Manchester,
Glasgow, Birmingham, and other manufactured goods, for
Palm Oil, Cotton, Ivory, Ground Nuts, and the various pro-
ducts of that great continent • to throw open to the public
the benefit of that which has hitherto been a close and pro-
fitable trade to a few, and, by extending its operations into
the interior, to spread at the same time the beneficial influ-
ence of commerce and civilisation amongst its dense and active
population.
_

It is well known that the African trade, particularly on
the great rivers, has hitherto been exclusive, and that la -ge
fortune* have been realised, wherever the required capital
was at command, by the simple system of Darter carried on
with the natives.
At present Palm Oil fo'ms the most important article of
trade with the whole coast of Africa. The production is un-
limited, so much so, that wherever the civilised trader has
not penetrated, the nuts of vast regions of palm trees are left
to rot in the forest. The constant demand for Palm Oil in
all European markets is such that any quantity can be sold
on its arrival in England.
The export of Palm Oil from the Bight of Biafrahas proved
to be on the average about 40,000 tons a year, representing a
value of about £1,600,000. and this large amount has been col-
lected by the natives within the small part of coast line from
Cape Formosa to the Cameroons, not more than snout 300
miles. This trade is almost exc usivrly in the hands of a
few English merchants, and is susceptible of very consider-
able increase.
The Bight of Benin is next in importance in the export of
Palm Oil • according to an official report of the trade in 1857,
no less th'an 21,172 tons of Palm Oil, of near £850,000 value,
werert ere
