the Italia❑ Government, dated 25111 July, 1868, sanc-
tioned by the law of 24th August, 1868.
The payments of interest and principal, both in Italy
and at laris, London, and Berlin, will be made in
gold.
The repayment of the principal in London will be made
at the fixed exchange of 23 francs 20 centimes to the
pound sterling.
Messrs. Stern Brothers bag to announce that they are
authorised to receive subscripticns for the above bonds,
which are 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 B nded Debt of South Australia, including the
£400,000 now issued, will amount to £1,508,000, 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 posseision 1862,
£548,709 ; 1863, £031,700 ; 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 existing Bonded Debt is an-
nually reduced by redemption of Bonds falling due to the
extent of about £40,000 each year.
Sealed Tenders, made in accordance with the annexed
orm, will be received bythe Bank of South Australia for
he whole or any portion of these Bonds—not being less
han Xloo—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 be 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 bdore the Tenders aro 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.

The bonds are issued by the company entitled "SociCte
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 forth 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-ono 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 of the bonds, prior to any pay-
ment to the Government or the shareholders.

payment of the respective instalments, the scrip and all

be returned to the subscriber forthwith.

returned without delay.
