PROSPECTUS.

This Company has been formed to carry out, among
others, the following objects :—To facilitate the formation
or execution of Railways and other Public Works. To pro-
vide the Contractors for such works with a medium for se-
curing prompt and effectual support to their undertakings.
To lessen the disappointments and delays often met with
by Contractors and others in obtaining prompt advances on
railway and other securities.
For effecting these purposes, the Memorandum of Asso-
ciation includes powers—
To contract for the construction of Railways or other
Public Works, either directly or by way of guarantee.
To make advances to Contractors and others for such
works upon every description of approved securities.
To negotiate any such securities.
To assist in providing or guaranteeing the materials,
rolling stock, or other plant required for such works, and
to acquire any patent rights.
To negotiate concessions and to provide the capital re-
quired for giving effect to the same.
To organise or co-operate with any other Companies, in
such a manner as the Directors from time to time consider
advisable.

To act as Financial Agents generally.
The safe and profitable character of Finance Companies
is shown by the large dividends paid by them.
Independently of other public works, the Railways of
Europe, America, India, and the British Colonies already
have an extent of more than 70,000 miles, involving a cost
exceeding 750 millions sterling, on which the floating
debts exceed 200 millions sterling, requiring a very large
sum every week to meet engagements falling due upon
bonds, obligations, or shares, or sales effected.
The extent of the field open for the operations of this
Company may therefore be readily inferred.
Applications for Shares must be made upon the requisite
form ; each applicant will be required to pay to the Bankers
of the Company £1 on each Share applied for on applica-
tion; and, upon allotment, £2 per Share on each share
allotted ; and a further sum of £2 per Share at a period
not exceeding one month after the date of allotment.
If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in
full, but without interest. _

Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may
be had of the Secretary, the Solicitor, the Auditors, the
Brokers, and at the Temporary Offices of the Company,
where also the Memorandum and Articles of Association
may be inspected.
