THE MAMMOTH HORSE.-Mr. CARTER'S
Colossal Horse continues to attract crowds of visitors, but as
he will positively leave town in a few days for America, Mr. Carter
begs to remind those persons who have net yet seen this remarkable

the only opportunity they will have of viewing the largest horse in
the world. Count D'Orsay says, "he is a magnificent animal."
The Mammoth Horse is twenty hands in height, and weighs 2,5001b5.
He will be exhibited at the EGYPTIAN HILL, Piccadilly, from
11 a.m. till 9 P.m. Admission, One Shilling.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SUN."
SlR,—Observing in the " Times" newspaper of this day a list of the
several railway schemes that have failed to deposit their plans, Sec.,
necessary to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, and
which are, therefore, not in a position to proceed to Parliament at
the ensuing session, I find that there is one inserted, and called the
"Manchester, Liverpool, and Newcastle Junction."
As it is very probable that this may be taken for this undertaking,
and in that case it will necessarily cause great alarm amongst the
Shareholders and other persons interested in the project, I shall feel
greatly obliged if you will have the goodness in the City article of
your paper of this day, or in some other prominent part,
to state that if the project, as inserted in the " Times,"
be intended for the Liverpool, Manchester, and New-
castle upon-Tyne Junction Railway Company, it is an error,
as all the documents requisite to comply with the standing orders of
Parliament were duly deposited, relating to that undertaking, and the
notice on landowners, Bx., served in proper time.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
January 14, .4INIBG46RAM, Secretary.

The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships
and the Advancing
of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage
on skipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ;
but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro-
ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary.
The Immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals
who have advanced money upon the security of 'shinning,
with an
assignment of the policy of assuranc,e, afford the best guarantee of the
soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded.
The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage,
shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a
wide field for the operations of the Association. The great balk, if
not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by
the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look
rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than
to the eligibility of the security as an investment.
The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed-
ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ;
which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and
earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso-
ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period
for which the loan has been granted.

Among the many advantages it hcilde out, the following are not

To the Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a moderate rate,
aid without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he most
requires it.
The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an
exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an
equitable rate.
To the. Shipbuilder, particularly when building fer the market,
either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less
dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season.
+To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be-
crming shareholders.
The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro-
prietary :
The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli-
cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without
loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the
Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these two
sources.
A total absence of risk to the shareholders. _ _

It m y be added that an extensive connexion has been already
formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large
amount secured for the Association.
The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin-
ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed
those of any ordinary marine insurance-office.
The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation
have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. •
The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been
advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management.
Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the
Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named
officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the following
agents, from whom more detailed prospectuses may be bad :—Wm.
