PrbosrEcTlJS.
This Company is established for the purpose of receiving
consignments for sale under reasonable advances, of
effecting purchase's of manufactures and other staples cf
which this country is the great entrepot, and of executing
orders on commission for account of correspondents in Eng-
land, the Eastern part of Europe, Asia Minor and Egypt,
&c., with such command of means and confidence as may
favour a large extension of the Commerce between the
foreign regions named and Great Britain, with every regard
to security and upon the most favourable terms, as to the
respective markets.
The Returns published by the Board of Trade exhibit
from year to year an immense increase of traffic between
Great Britain and the rest of the world—and the Levant is
found to figure in those returns upon a scale of considerable
importance. A still great3r development, however, of
which this branch of commerce is capable, remains retarded
ley the inadequate power and insufficient security com-
manded by private establishments—hence the idea of form-
ing ibis Association.
The resources of the Levant itself, at present wasted for
want of development, are unquestionably sufficient to sup-
port a trade extensive and remunerative to a degree never
yet attained as regards the East, The numerous ports in
the Black Sea, the Archipelago,. and on the eastern shores
of the Mediterranean, only. require the existence of a finan-
cial centre of intercourse in England, commanding uni-
versal confidence, to acquire a flourishing importance in
world-wide enterprise, contrasting greatly with the depres-
sion of uncertainty and insecurity which has of late years
paralysed their commerce. And the establishment of such
an influential organisation as will provide this much needed
financial centre, in materially enhancing the prosperity of
the Levant, will promptly open out a wide and ever ex-
panding field for the operations of British capitalists, and
the consumption of British,manufactures.
Such being the origin, purpose, and objects of the " Orien-
tal Commercial Company, Limited," an earnest and con-
current co-operation in the various Levantine Ports secures
to this Association the reasonable certainty of rapid and
decided success ; whilet the great experience of the Mana-
ger who has been appointed is a guarantee for the prudent
and safe course that will be pursued.
A large and most respectable body of shippers abroad
having already promised to entrust the management of
their interests to this Company, and the business connec-
tions of the appointed Manager being in like manner
secured, the Directors believe that, with such assurances,
the undertaking offers more than ordinary inducements for
investment.
The Capital of the Company has been axed at Two
nunslred Thousand Pounds Sterling, of which more than
Thirty Thousand Pounds have already been subscribed.
It haviz2g been originally intended to carry on the com-
pany with Shares of i3loo each, the necessary steps are
being taken to alter the original Articles of Association of
the Company in that and some other respects. The substi-
tuted Articles may be seen on application at the offices of
the Company, where the fullest intormation of the objects
and prospects of the Company will be afforded.
In the event of the whole 10,000 shares, into which the
capital is divided, being taken up, the Directors consider
that no more than £5 per Share will be required at com-
mand, in full developing the business of the Company, and
so as to afford a remunerative return to the Shareholders,
and this proportion of £5 per share will accordingly be
called up by instalments.
Applications for shares must be made in the form an-
nexod. The deposit of £1 per Share must be paid to the
Company's Bankers, by whom a receipt will be given. If
no allotment be made, or a less number of shares be allotted
than is applied for, the deposit, or the surplus thereof, as
the case may be, will be returned in full.
Prospectuses and forms of application for Shares may be
obtained at the Offices, 31, Threadneedle-street. as well as
from the directors, solicitors, agents, and brokers of the
Company.

COURAGEOSJS RESCUE AND ViiAiRESULT.—On
Saturday a poor cripple was crossing the road near the Liver-
pool Each an ge, when he was placed in great danger by the
passing of a huge lorry
laden with cotton bales. A labour-
ing man rushed to the rescue, and succeeded in removing
the cripple out of the way, but unfortunately be was him-
self-knocked down before be could clear the horses, and the
wheele passing over him crushed him to death immediately.
Great sympathy has been expressed amongst the merchants
on 'Change, and there is no doubt that a handsome sub-
scription will be raised for the family of the poor fellow who
has met with so untimely a fate.
A general meeting of the Madras Irrigation Com-

Dig 4Tli DRAGOON GUARDS.—A few days will,
in all likelihood, witness the official notification of the re-
moval of Colonel Bentinck from the command of the 4th
Dragoon Guards. We aro not aware of the particular form
in which this necessary step will be taken. As the officer
in question has not completed 25 years' service he is not
in strictness eligible for the half-pay list, and possibly
means may be found of allowing him to receive the regula-
tion valne of his "Commissions„ and thus retire altogether
from the army. Colonel Brownrigg's period of service on
the staff has aiready expired, and as soon as provision is
made for replacing him he will-revert to half-pay, we trust
never again to be put in a position of responsibility like
that he has shown himself so singularly unfitted to fill.
Some further changes in the 4th Dragoon Guards may also
be looked forward to, and we trust sincerely that under new
auspices this fine old corps may, before long recover the
honourable position for which, in former times, it was dis-
tinguished in the service.—Army and Navy Gaztte.
