PROSPECTUS.

The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone-
tary arrangements 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
be 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 Culonies, le id 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 doutt 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
fnnds. _ _ _ . . .

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 promotio.,-monef will be given for originating the
undertaking, and the pre'iminary expenses will be strictly
confined to such as are indispensable.
Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed
form to the Dir. ctors, and copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corpot axon, or at
the Offices of the Brokers and :,olicitors ; but no apnlication
will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share on the
number of shares applied for has been paid.

The Great Eastern—Meeting of Shareholders
in London,

The adjourned special general meeting of the
shareholders in the Great Ship Company was held
at the London Tavern yesterday. A report pre-
pared by the committee appointed at the last meet-
ing was read. The following is an extract',:—" The
Committee state that they have directed their atten-
tion to the folio wing :-1. To the exact financial
etate of the company. 2. To the state of the ship.
3. To the means of profitably employing her; and
lastly, 4, To nn inquiry into the means of relieving
the company from financial difficulties. Oa the first
head the committee state that they have come to the
conviction 'that the statement of the chairman that
a peremptory sale was inevitable in 14 days, unless
L 30,000 was raised on or before Friday next, the
I oth, was a mistake.' As to the state of the ship the
committee 52y Without entering minutely into
the detai!s obtained from the captain and your
engineer, your committee are of opinion, from the
information afforded by both, that every repair and
alteration required to fit the ship for sea may be
efficiently completed for a comparatively small sum;
the hull of the ship is sound and seaworthy, and
capable of performing any duty assigned to her;
the engines are in good condition, but the boilers
want thorough overhauling." With regard to the
best means of employing the ship the committee
say—" Three voyages to India or Australia (one
and a-half each year) would give a little more than
70,000 miles, subject to the expense only of six
loadings and discharges; six set of port and pilot
dues; six set of agencies; six coast and harbour
risks instead of 18, and only two years victual-
ling, wages, insurance, staff, expenses, and interest
instead of three. There would be but little coin-
petition in the rates of passage and freight.
Passengers and cargoes would be available to any
extent, and the result, under proper and efficient
management, cannot for a moment be doubted."
After examining the plans for relieving the company
from its difficulties, the committee thus conclude :
" Hare is our policy—here are our plans-1.
Economy at home. 2. Placing the ship on the
longest voyage, where there can be the least
competition and the highest receipts—the share-
holders contributing what may be required for the
liquidation of the existing debts and outfit, which
will be amply provided for by the suggested
contribution." After some discussion, the report
was unanimously adopted, and it was decided to
summon another meeting for the 3d of November
to fill up vacancies in the Board of Directors, and
for the transaction of other business.

down the gauntlet, since the same firmness did
not exist among all the representatives of the
journals in supporting what had been decided on.
When the five journalists presented themselves
to-day in the tribune, a derisive smile might be
observed on the lips of the deputies. In politics
when a threat is not followed by a blow, ridionie
is sure to fall on the matter."

HOOD V. HORSFALL AND OTHERS.

This was an action under Lord Campbell's act, brought
by the plaintiff as administratrix to recover dataages for
herself and children for the death of her husband, result-
ing as it was alleged from the negligence of the defendants.
Mr. Aspinal, Q,C., and Mr. C. Russell were for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Brett, Q.C., sad Mr. Baylis for the de-
fendants,
The defendants are extensive iromongers at Liverpool,
carrying on business under the name of the Mersey Steel
and Iron Company. The dec2ased was in the service of
the defendants as a hammeremith, and had been so for 30

years.
It appearci that the defendants had recently built a new
shed containing a number of boilers, and an extensive eet
of steam hammers. The decsasel was at work at one of
these hammers. All the boilers, except the one at which
he was working. were carried up through the roof; but that
one, end part of the chimney connect- I with it, was within
the building. Arornd that chimney there vr a a large hole
in the roof, which had been left in order to prevent the con-
tact of the heated chimney with the building ; there was
also a man-hope in the roof close by. One flay, while de-
ceased was engaged at work, he was attack by a heavy block
and pulley, rad severely injured in the head. Where the
block r-td pulley came :rem could not be ascertained, but
it was supposcl to have come through one of the holes in
the roof, where it was provcl the shed was in an unfinished
state, end workmen might have been about at the time. It
was also proved that the ordine-.y vibration of the roof we.s
great, the sulgeltion being that the f of articka from the
roof might have b- en caused by that.
His Lordship observed that the law relating to such cases
wee still unsettled, and tinder all the circumstances of this
case it was very desirable that some arrangement should be
come to, wi►hout bincung the defendants by any eltrission
of liability.
Ultimat3ly it was agreed that a nonsuit shoulti be entered;
and that defendants should pay to the plaintiff such a tum
as Ifs lordship, under all the oireumstarces, shor 4`iink
rersonable.

PRUSSIA.

THE SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION.
BERLIN, DEC. 17.
The Government has taken the following mili-
tary steps with regard to Federal execution :-
1. An army corps composed of eight infantry re-
giments, one battalion of foot chasseurs, six
regiments of cavalry, a brigade of artillery, an
engineer battalion, with two sets of pontoons and a
train of light country bridges,together with the mili-
tary trains and administrative officers who belong
to the corps, have received orders to prepare for
active service. Mtasures have been taken to rein-
force this corps, especially in cavalry and infantry,
and will be carried into effect by augmentations and
displacement of corps. Marching orders have also
been given to the regiments of infantry of the
Guard, stationed in distant provinces, who will
occupy the province of Brandenburg at an early
date. The horses required by the troops and
various departments have been purchased. So
that the moment the order for mobilisation is
given, the Prussian Executive Corps may be com-
pleted with the briefest delay by the incorporation
of the reserves. Part of the army corps, consist
ing of the 11th Infantry Brigade, the 3d Hussar
Regiment, and two batteries, has been already mo
bilised and marched to-day.

2. The fortifications intended to protect the still
unfinished harbour of Jande are being continued.
The garrison will consist of infantry, artillery, and
engineers, who are already on the march.
3. Measures are being taken to defend all other
harbours and places upon the seaboard. The war
vessels of the fleet have been victualled and put in
a condition for service ; the officers and sailors of
the naval reserve have been called out ; all vessels
of the fleet stationed abroad have received orders
adapted to the occasion.
The Saxon artillery passed through Berlin last
night upon its way to Holstein. Although at a
late hour, the crowd assembling at the Anhait sta-
tion was large, and loudly cheered the Saxons.

Intelligence comes in from all sides confirming
the belief that the Danish Government has ordered
its troops to offer no opposition to the Federal army
upon entering Holstein. It is not known, however,
to what point the Danish troops will withdraw, for
it is certain that the tete de-pont at Frederickstadt
has been placed in a state of defence, and that
Neumunster, at the junction of the roads from
Altona to Kiel and Rendsburg to Lubeck, has been
also fortified. Palisades have also been set up at
Rendsburg upon the ramparts erected some years
ago between the old town and the Neuwerk.

Punch's Almanack for 1864•

This Almanack is published to-day, and is as
as ever of fun, frolic, grace, and grotesqueness. 11'
comprehensive illustration to " The Calendar' is, t't4
usual, from the pencil of John Tenniel, Panchs
great cartoonist. The rest of the ernbellisnmeuts-'
we can't count how many for laughing--beiog
from the indefatigable hand of delightful Job
Leech. And here, in these miscellaneous pictorial
comicAlities of Leech, we have, littered over
th°
pages of Punch's Almanach fur the coming Nelir
prettl
Year, swarms upon swarms of John Leech's
girls, chubby children, snob riders, stout vulgarial
London street-boys, cabbies, swells, yokels, °,l
policemen. Thanks especially to John Leech,
particularly where John Leech gets among
tbit
horseflesh, Punch's Almanach is still the raciest
of fun going.
