tions of the mortgage-section created in the-National
Bank of Austria. This section will commence opera:
tfOni on the Ist of Forty tnillions of florins
(0(400,000f ) in bank 'notes and all the sums resniting.
frOm, loarwupon-security-form its capital. Loans will
Only,be effected upon half of the property mortgaged,
and etwAipaJil. either- in ready money or in certiti-
catesi' of loan, as may be agreed on by the parties. The
amount of interest and mode of repayment are also left
to pi. vats agreement. The mortgage-section may issue
certificates of to

money upon third. The certificates may be quoted and
read at the Exchange. The directors of the Bank are to,

duced by one-half, but this proposition was nega-
tfved- M. 4:ie Oatlach, the-chief of the Extreme

against the conduct- of the police, voted with the

de Garlach, they sill perhaps be never fully
