PROSPECTUS.

._The Discount Corporation is established to aid the moue-
(4'l7 arra.npements of the increasing commercial interests of
Great P,rktain and its dependencies.
In founding this undertaking the Directors have secured
Fco-operation of an old and highly-respected Discount
cow's
in London, with whom arrangements have been made
for the transfer of its lucrative business to this Corporation,
actd. two of whose partners join the Direction. It will thus
e manifest that the Discount Corporation starts with a
Large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience
cf Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to
command the confidence of the public. is
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, le,d 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 at the same time
afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek
the permanent investment of their money, and to those who
merely desire the temporary employment of their surplus
funds.
The known profitable operations of the old private Dis-
count Firms, and the new Discount Companies, givethe as-
surance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed,
Will prove a complete success.
The Dead Office of the Corporation will be in London.
No promotion-money will be given for originating the
undertaking, and the preliminary expenses will be strictly
confined to such as are indispensable.
Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed
form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corporation, or at
the Offices of the Brokers and Solicitors ; but no application
'will be considered unless a deposit of Z 1 per abare on the
Dumber of shares applied for has been paid.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is established for the purpose of granting
temporary loans and advances on eligible ships and other
marine property, by way of mortgage or assignment, covered
bby policies of insurance, and on such other security as may
e found desirable. Money will also be received on deposit
or stated periods, upon interest to be agreed. and will be
employed in like manner with the capital, the uncalled por-
tion of which, and the property held on mortgage by the
Company, will at all times afford ample security to depo-
El tors.
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
withping has been so severely felt that ttle Directors enter
confidence on the prosecution of a class of business
hitherto transacted by private individuals with considerable
profit.
In addition to the profits on capital, which are estimated
at from 10 to 15 per cent., the Drzectors have facilities for
per cent.
borrowing at such rates as to yield a surplus profit of 5 to 6
