SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT SIX IVOTICE.—THE lIAMMAM (TURKISH BATH),
PER CENT. BONDS PAYABLE IN LONDON. li 76, Jermyn-street, will RE-OPEN on MONDAY, the
The Bank of South Australia, 54, Old Broad-street, 26th October,
RC., is authorised by the undersigned to receive TEN-
DERS for BONDS of the SOUTII AUSTRALIAN
GOVERNMENT, to the amount of £400,000.
The Bonds, having from 26 to 35 years to run (1891 to
1903), are of the following denominational values:-
50 Bonds for £l,OOO each £50,00
300 ~ 500 150 000
~

2,000

100

£400,000

And are issued under the authority of Act. No. 28, of
19th December, 1867, of the South Australian Parliament,
entitled .'An Act to authorise the raising of Money f
Railway purposes." A copy of the Act may be inspected
at the office of the nut-Le-signed,
priucip .1 and interest are made payable in London
at the dates specified in each Bond, the interest by Coupon
ou the Ist July and Ist January of each year.
The Bonds belt- interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum,- front the Ist July, 1868.
The above quoted act authorises the issue of £Bll,OOO.
The present issue is the firstportion thereof,the remaining
half will not be issued till some time next year. Clause 5
of the Act duly provides -for the payment of the interest,
and the redemption of the Bonds of this Loan, as they fall
due.
The B nded Debt of South Australia, including the
£400,000 now issued, will amount to £1,568,000, and is
secured on the general revenue of the colony, which was
as follows, according to the latest Government official
statistics in the Agent General's posse ision 1862,
£548,709 ' 1863, £631,700 ; 1864, £775,837 ; 1865,
£1,089,128; 1866, £949,774. The high estimation in
which the South Australian Government Bonds have al-
ways been held is sufficiently proved by the current quo-
tations in the market. The existinc, Bonded Debt is an-
nually reduced by redemption of BoEds falling due to the
extent of about £lO,OOO each year.
Sealed Tenders, made in accordance with the annexed
orm, will be received by the Bank of South Australia for
he whole or any portion of these Bonds—net being less
han £loo—until noon on Tuesday, the 13th October, and
he allotment will take place at that hour in the presence
of such of the applicants as may desire to bo present.
The Bonds will be allotted to the highest bidders, pro-
vided the rates offered are not below the minimum which
will be fixed by the Agent General and placed in a sealed
envelope on the table b •fore the Tenders are opened, but
the sealed envelope will only be opened in case the Agent
General declares that the whole amount has not been ten-
dered at or above his minimum.
Tenders at a price including a fraction of a shilling other •
than sixpence will not be preferentially accepted, and in
the event of an equality of Tenders beyond the amount of
these Bonds, a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will
be made. In the same way the Bonds falling due at the
different dates will be distributed, as regards the dates, as
near as possible, amongst the successful tenderers.
Ten per Cent. on the nominal value of these Bonds must
be paid to the Bank of South Australia as soon as the al-
lotment is made, and the balance net later than Tuesday,
the 10th November, when the Bonds will be delivered.
Tenderers to whom allotment may be made can have their
Bonds earlier, if they desire it, by paying the balance less
the discount at the then rate of the Bank of England.
Forms of Tender may be obtained at the Office of the
Bank of South Australia, or of the undersigned.

Bearing interest at 6 per cent per annutu front Ist July,
1868.
Redeemable at par by half-yearly drawings in fifteen
years.
Placed on the same footing as the Public Debt of the
United Kingdom of Italy, and not to be subjected to
any special tax.
Principal and interest, payable in Italy, and at Paris, Lon-
don, and Berlin, guaranteed by the Italian Government,
and specially secured upon the produce of the tobacco
revenues of Italy in accordance with the Convention of
the Italian Government, dated 25th July, 1868, sanc-
tioned by the law of 24th August, 1368.
The payments of interest and principal, both in Italy
and at Faris, London, and Berlin, will be made in
gold.
The repayment of the principal in London will' be made
at the fixed exchange of 25 francs 20 centimes to the
pound sterling.
Messrs. Stern Brothers beg to announce that they are
authorised to receive subscripticns for the above bonds,
which aro issued for the purpose of effecting a loan to the
Italian Government, secured on produce of the tobacco
revenue of Italy, in pursuance of the above-mentioned
convention.
The bonds aro issued by the company entitled "Soci6te
pour la Regie co-interessee des Tabacs dans le .Royaume
d'ltalie," established with a capital of fifty millions of lire
(£2,000,000), to which has been conceded by that conven-
tion the farming of the Italian tobacco manufacture for
fifteen years.
The manufacture and sale of tobacco in Italy are, as is
known, exclusively reserved to the Government, and the
profits therefrom form one of the principal sources of the
revenue of the kingdom. The returns from this source
are published monthly in the Italian Government Gazette,
from which it appears that the gross receipts in 1867
amounted to upwards of eighty-one millions of lire. This
did not include the revenue from the Venetian territory,
which is now added, estimated at eleven millions more.
The convention (Arts. 5 and 23) stipulates that the com-
pany shall retain and set apart out of the revenues of the
tobacco manufacture sufficient moneys to provide for the
interest and sinking fund cf the bonds, prior to any pay-
ment to the Government or the shareholders.
The bonds are guaranteed by the Italian Government,
and will be countersigned by a representative specially
appointed by the Government for that purpose.
The bonds will be issued in amounts of 500 f. and 2,500 f
each (the latter comprising five of 500 f.) They will be
expressed in francs and in the equivalent amount in pounds
sterling, at the fixed exchange of 25f. 20c., at which rate
the repayments in London of the principal will be made.
The bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum; thus on each bond of 2,500 francs the annual in-
terest will be 150 francs, which will be reduced to 136
francs 80 centimes by the deduction of the general Italian
income tax of 8.80 per cent.
The interest will be payable half yearly, on the Ist
January and Ist July, in gold, in Italy, and at Paris, Lon-
don, and Frankfort.
The bonds will be divided into thirty series, each eon-
containing 15,800 bonds of 50U francs each, redeemable at
par, within fifteen years from the Ist January, 1869, by
thirty half-yearly drawings, the first to be made on the Ist
April, 1869. At each drawing one entire series will be
drawn. The repayment will take place three months
after the drawing, and will be made at par (without any
deduction for tax). in Italy, Paris, London, and Frankfort.
All payments in Italy, both of principal and interest,
will be made in gold, to the exclusion of all paper money.
The Italian Government has stipulated that the holders
of bonds shall have the option of taking at par 47,400
shares in the company, of 500 lire each, at the rate of one
share for every ten 500 franc bonds, for which purpose the
Concessionaires, having subscribed for the whole of the
100,000 shares which compose the company's capital, have
appropriated thereout 47,400 shares. The time and manner
of exercising this option will be hereafter announced.
The price of issue of the bonds in England will be at
the rate of £Bl 7s. per 2,500 f. bond, payable by the fol-
lowing instalments :

The first coupon of 75 francs per bond, falling due let
January, 1869, will be taken at £2 19s. Gd., without mak-
ing any deduction for Italian income tax, on account of
the instalment due the same day. Ou payment of the in-
stalment duo on allotment, Scrip certificates will be de-
livered by Messrs. Stern Brothers, which will be exchange-
able upon payment in full of the instalments for the De-
finitive Bonds as coon as they are prepared.
Subscribers desiringto anticipate the payment of the re-
spective instalments will have the option of doing so under
discount at 4 per cent. per annum within a week after
allotment, or on any of the days appointed for the payment
of the instalments.
Taking into account the discount on payment in full,
the Coupon on Ist January, 1869, and the half-yearly
drawing, the loan affords to subscribers an interest equal
to 9 17-16 per cent. on their investment.
Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be
charged-on all instalments in arrear, but in default of due
payment of the respective instalments, the scrip and all
previous payments will be liable to be forfeited.
In case of the allotment being for a less number of
bonds than that applied for, the surplus of the deposit will
be applied towards the instalment due upon allotment.
Should there be a surplus beyond that instalment, it will
be returned to the subscriber forthwith.
Where no allotment is made the whole deposit will be
returned without delay.
On the issue of the Definitive Bonds it will be arranged
to distribute them as much as possible over the several
series, so that a subscriber for thirty bonds shall re-
ceive one reimbursable in each of the thirty hall-yearly
drawings.
Copies of the convention of 25th July, 1868, the law of
24th August, 1868, and an extract from the supplementary
convention regulating the details of the bonds, can be seen
