Ten Shillings per Share to be paid on allotment.
This Company is formed for the purchase of land and development
of the mineral resources of the Island of Ce' ion.
The fact that Ceylon abounds with mineral wealth has peen now
ascertained beyond any doubt.
The Directors desire to draw attention to the following, taken
from " Copies of extracts of correspondence between her Majesty's
Government and partici in Ceylon, vide Blue Book, page 15, printed
by order of the House of Commons, 21st July,
1847 :"—" Persons
the best informed entertain little doubt that the vast mineral re-
sources of the country hitherto undeveloped, but which are known
extensively to abound, will eventually present no inconsidekable
feature in the export trade of the country."
EXTRACT TAKEN FROM REPORTS OF SIR J. E. TENNANT, LATE
COLONIAL SECRETARY OF CEYLON.
"Ceylon is rich in minerals. Metallic products comparatively
Unnoticed in the interior."
EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY DR. TIRE.
"" Upon the analytical examination of certain samples of sulphuret
iipPPer and of copper. pyrites from Ceylon, placed in my hands by

This Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne-
'vada District, California, the right to purchase the large property of
Thos. 0. Larkin. ESQ., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain
.1.600 acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz
'veins and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well
'adapted for agricultural purposes.
The property is described as being situated on the west bank of
the Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento
'Myer, and to be at a distance of about 195 miles by water communi-
cation from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga-
ble for steamers ; and it is Stated that, during a greater portion of
the
Year, vessels can navigate the Feather River up to the property.
Testate is freehold, and the vendors guarantee an indisputable
. free from incumbrances.
The mineral importance and value of the -property will be best
c, by the folowing extract from the report of the Surveyor,
%cholas Gray, Esq ,who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer
orders from the United States Government. % fter giving a
'Mailed deacniption of each lot, he sums up his report as follows
•
1 class the whole estate, containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as mi-
zhe ral land,. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to
aurrunit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as In the
eartz
urock. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the
%,.."A-Nvest corner oftho Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been
ered in the same vicinity, and I have been informed by men of
ii raeity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of
-2a same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather
'aver is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the g01d-
.... g quartz rock is to be found all along the bank of that stream,
:Lad extending back generally two or three miles. By reference to
the map you have all the principal points laid down of quartz
rock, rich diggings, &c."
Further important details will he found in the accompanying
document and map of the property; and other particulars of an in-
resting nature respecting this extensive territory may be inspdcted
St the office of the Company.
_ Mr. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the quartz veins
;rere taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to
I'ondon_ for analysis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the
"Pendix, shows that with careful managnnent a large return for the
apital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's
dining operations.
'The working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder for pur-
chase money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct
`,14 the operations of the Company; sad it is intended to expend
theesame chiefly in erecting extensive central mills for grinding the
auriferous_ quartz on the property, and for reducing and extracting
gold from its matrices, whether sands, earths, or quartz, in the
• 3t camplate, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en-
aging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would be
,"_-nineniturate with its valne and location, and who would in no
" ay interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches.
The venders have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of
Wtleh is included in the present capital, and the remaining half
dYu be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when
bl I,IY-ends to the amount of 20 per cent. have been paid to the
'Shareholders as before mentioned. The entire price to he
~,
vuttr paid in mottles is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere
theof the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently of
pir fitness and eligibility for cultivation ; and the company have
ert met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, who do not seek
of •
thepaid for the estate,lexcept a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety
purchase money, until an English surveyor, nominated by the
-,-,Card of Supervision, shall have examined the estate, reported upon
it, and declared it to be in accordance with the prospectus. The
.Price per acre on the portion of purchase-money payable out of the
Ipreaent capital is less than 101.
The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected
near the junction of the Feather River with the north fork of that
Giver; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to resi-
'dents, the particular lands to be set apart for this city, looking at the
Welt known rapidity with which American cities are created and
Peopled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re-
Store to the Shareholders the entire purchase money.
An organised system of granting leases of mines on the estate is
QM in contemplation, which will yield large returns to this Com-
-140Y; add the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of
;Aher individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm-
. TIC lands, alluvial diggings, or quartz mining locations, to their vast
tracts of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and
grant leases of portions of the Feather River Estate..
The Board of Supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge-
ration when expressing their conviction that the estate fairly put to
Work to its full capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as
dividend—what may reasonably be expected from all successful gold
e°l2lPanies—at least 20 per cent. on the entire capital besides
."onuses. The investment in the shares must, therefore, be equal to
that
offered by any other company, either in Australia or California.
The Board of Supervision will have the power of carrying out the
contract with the vendors, and of settling the statutes of the com-
l'acy, which all its affairs will be regulated. The deposit will
be 97
perunder share, thus paying up the shares in full at the time of allot-
'cent, and all deposits applicable to the purchase money received
' horn
shares. sold will be held in like manner as the shares would have
been if not sold—viz., until the surveyor's report has been received,
'Met possession given, and a good title exhibited, and a proper con-
, I"eYance executed.
APplications for shares to be addressed to the Secretary, and to
the Brokers of the Company; and no application can receive atten-
tion unless references be given to Bankers or Stockbrokers.

MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
. the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prenta-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes In
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.

that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
free.- In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply
roiarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home for consultation dailylfrom Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and

It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT
should first obtain a copy of his work on
