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 tho Act may be inspected
at the office of the undersigned,
Both principal and interest are made payable in London
at the dates specified in with Bond, the interest by Coupon
on the Ist July and let January of each year.
The Bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum, from the Ist July, 1868.
The above quoted act authorises the issue of £Bll,OOO.
Tho present issue is the tirstportion 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 possession: 1862,
£548,709 ' - 1863, £431,700 ; 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 a ith the annexed
orm, will be received by the Bank of South Australia for
he whole or any portion of these Bonds—not being less
han £loo—until noon on Tuesday, the 13th October, and
he allotment will take place at that hour iu 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 bAore the Tenders are ovened, 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 not 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.

-It&ent'General' for the Government of South
Australia.

Bearing interest at 6 per cent, per annum from Ist July,
1868.
Redeemable at par by half-yearly drawings in fifteen
years.
Placed on the same footing as the Public Debt of the

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, 1868.
The payments of interest and principal, both in Italy

geld.
The repayment of the principal in London will be made

Alessrs. Stern Brothers bag to announc) that they are
authorised to receive subscriptions 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 bonds are issued by the company entitled " SociCte
pour la it.gle co-interess6e 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 of 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 let
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 let 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
arawn. The repayment ill take place three months
fter 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 ono
share for every ten 500 franc bonds, for which purpose the
Concessionaires, baying 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 exorcising 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 Ist
January, 1869, will be taken at .£2 19s. 6d., without mak-
ing any deduction for Italian income tax, on account of
the instalment due the same day. On payment of the in-
stalment due 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 soon 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 duo 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 theta 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 half-yearly
drawings.

24th August, 1868, and an extract from the supplementary
convention regulating the details of the bonds, can be seen
