PROSPECTUS

The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone-
tary arranirements of the increasing commercial interests of
Great Britain and its dependencies.
In founding this undertaking the Directors have secured
the co-operation of an old and highly-respected Discount
Firm in London, with whom arrangements have been made
for the transfer of its lucrative business to this Corporation,
and two of whose partners join the Direction. It will thus
ba manifest that the Discount Corporation starts with a
large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience
of Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to
command the confidence of the public.
The material basis of the Corporation will be a large sub-
scribed Capital, judicially distributed.
The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial
banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and
continental trades of the country, and the greatly extending'
commercial transactions with India and the Colonies, lead to
the conviction that greater discounting facilities than at pre-
sent exist are required.
An establishment, which from its ample means will be able
to supply such requirements, will no doubt be favourably re-
ceived by the trading community, and will tit the same time
afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek
the permanent investment of their money, and to those who
fnnds.
Inerely desire the temporary employment of their surplus
The known profitable operations of the old private Dis.
Count Firms, and the new Discount Companies, give the as-
surance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed,
Will prove a complete success.
The Read Office of the Corporation will be in London.
No promotioa-money will be given for originating the
undertaking, and the preliminary expenses will be strictly
confined to such as are indispensable._

form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corporation, or at

ABRIDGE
This Company is establishD edPR forOSthe purpose of granting
temporary loans and advances on eligible ships and other
Marine property, by way of mortgage or assignment, covered
by policies of insurance, and on such other security as may
be found desirable. Money will also be received on deposit
for stated periods, upon interest to be ogreed. and will be
employed in like manner with the capital, the uncalled por-
tion of whie), and the property held on mortgage by the
Comtor pany, will at all times afford ample security to depo-
The estimated value of British vessels mortgaged is up-
wards of five millions sterling. It thus becomes apparent
that a wide field exists for a well-established Company of
this kind.
The want of some ready channel for obtaining loans on
shipping has been so severely felt that the Directors enter
with ctherto tronfidenca on

In addition to the profits on capital, which are estimated
at from 10 to 15 per cent., the Directors have facilities for
borrowing at such rates as to yield a surplus profit of 5 to 6
per cent.
The detailed prospectus and forms of application for shares
may be obtained of the Secretary, Brokers, and Bankers, and
at the Offices of the Company.
Should the full number ot shares applied for be in excess of
those at the Directors' disposal, the surplus will be credited
to the allotment, or returned at the applicants' option,

ItOYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Grav's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCL EUCIT, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting Into its wards a very large 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 their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
I,4astermau, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and
Co. ; Drummond and Co. ; Herries and Co. ; Ransom and
CO. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith, Payne, and Co. ; Giyn
