Directors to continue the payment of the interest at 10 per
cent. per annum, but enable them to declare periodical
bonuses on the capital called up.
As to the Catalan property, having regard to its impor-
tant position, the command it has of the seaboard, the fad--
Mies it presents for construction of the new port, and its
general adaptability for the formation of streets, shops, and
private villas, a large and remunerative return may also be
anticipated.
ESTIMATED PROFIT ON CATALAN PROPERTY.
On reference to Mr. Borde's Report, it will be seen that
when the various improvements which have been sug-
gested have been completed, and the Catalan property
fully developed, it is estimated to yield a gross profit of
upwards of cent. per cent., and this within a period of
three years, although the estimates have been based on the
more extended period of five years, and that when the Fort
St. Nicholas is removed, and the new port completed, this
profit will be trebled.
MINIMUM INTEREST, TEN PER CENT.

As the first payments of annuities and rent under the
arrangements entered into with regard to the Joliette pro-
perty do not commence until the Ist October, 1867, and
become payable only in the subsequent half-year, viz.,
the Ist April, 1868, the Directors have decided to pay in-
terest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for two years,
from March, 1866, on the capital called up, and for which
four interest warrants will be attached to the share certifi-
cates at the time of issue (which will bo charged to land
purchases account). After that date the revenue from the
Joliette lands, the rentals from the other properties, and
profits on further sales, will be applicable for dividend or
bonuses.
PAYMENT OF SHARES IN FULL ALLOWED.

As some Shareholders may prefer to pay up the shares
in full rather than have a larger number subject to calls,
application may be made for shares to be fully paid up on
allotment. Four half-yearly interest warrants, at the rate
of 10 per cent. per annum, will likewise be attached to
these share certificates. In the allotment of shares prefe-
rence will be given to these applications, but the number
so allotted will not exceed 30,000 shares, and the Directors
reserve to themselves the right in their discretion only to
allot 60,000 shares in all on the present allotment.
A portion of the shares will be allotted to applicants who
aro Shareholders in

The Credit Fonder and Mobilier of England (Limited),
The Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited),
The National Bank,
The National Bank of Liverpool (Limited),
To applicants from Marseilles and Paris,
and the balance to the other portion'of the general public.
Applications for shares may be made in the annexed
form, which must be accompanied by the payment of £1
per share deposit, without which no application will bo
considered. Should a less number of shares be allotted
than are supplied for the deposit will, so far as required,
be applied towards the payment due on allotment. Should
no allotment be made, the amount paid will be at once re-
turned without deduction.

SUBSCRIPTIONS for the WIDOW and
CHILDREN of the late Captain R. IL GRONOW,
formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author cf " Recol-
lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and
Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris,
has left a widow and four young children, by his second
marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his
funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain
Gronow was disinherited by his fathc, in favour of
his brother, a Clergyman, and the small income which
he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family
estate ceased with his life ; while the sums he received
from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended
in providing for the increasing expenses of his young
family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends
of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now
appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in
London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for
contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her
children.

Subscriptions received by Messrs. SMITH, ELDER, and
Co., 65, Cornhill, and 45, Pall-mall ; and by Messrs. Cox
and GREENWOOD, Army Agents, Craig's-court, Parliament-
street.
