PROSPECTUS.

The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone-
tary arransTeinents 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
larzo 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
corn/nem:al transactions with India and the Colonies, lead to
the, conviction that greater discsusting facilities than at pre-
sent exist are required.
An establishment, which from its ample mean 4 will be able
to supply such requirements, will no doul t 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
finds.
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 Head 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, tnd 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 £1 per spare on the
number 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
by policies 01 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 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-
sitors.

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 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 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 01 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,

NOTICE.—The Directors will proceed to an ALLOT-
MENT on SATURDAY, 17th instant. Applications ior the
Remaining Shares to be made not later than that claw.
