THE Company is formed for the purpose of Manufacturing all descriptions of VEGETABLE OIL. The present output of Oli from native Land-mills is tosufficient to meet the general, demand, besides befog deficient in. quality. In order to supply the increasing requirement of the market for a better descrip- Hon of Oil, the Company propose adopting the latest improved machinery similar to that used by the heat Oll Mills to Férope zud Americs.
The special object of the Company will be to supply the real Market and Outports with Oll of superior quality, et remunerative prices, which will compare favourably with extøling rates
There is undoubtedly a great demand for a better class of VEGETABLE Drt than is at present ohtainable; and with the rapid output and economical working' of » Mill, 'arranged on the best principles, the Company will be more than able to compete successfully against, native hand-mills..
With the natural advantages that Shanghai possesses in cheap labour and the ready supply of raw material, combined with one of the largest Oll markets to China, there is every assurance that the Company will have a most success!»!
fature,
So far un can be ascertained vative hand OD Mills have been caring for some years, past dividends of over 15% per annum.
The management, and direction of the Com piny will be in the bands of Messrs. FRANK DALLAS & Co., as General Managers, but subject to the supervision of the Directors.
The Directors are in treaty for an eligible ulte for the Mill, and it is not anticipated that there will be any difficulty in obtaining land in a sultsble locality at a reasonable price. The plans of the Mill Haildings are being prepared by a local Architect, and as soon as the Sbaras are allotted, the buildings will be commenced.
The propriers of Ordinary Shares be entfiled to a cumulative dividěld of 12% before the ha'ders of Four, 'ers Shares participate in the prof's. All the profits over and above 12% will be divided, one-half to the holders al Founders' Shares, and one-half to the holders of Ordinary Suares."
The promoters will pay all the preliminary
expenses incurred in the formation of the Com- pany up to the date of allotment. The only contract entered Info is one dated 1st day of July, One Tcas.nd Eight Hundred and Niasty. six, between Messrs. WILLIAM HENRY SHORT, on behalf of the Company, and FRANK DALLAI and TAG KIT-SUNG.

THE REVOLT IN FORMOSA.
in the stories that reach us from Formosa We feel strongly disinclined to belleve
with reference to the treatment of the natives and of the Chinese settlers there by the Japanese. We do not think it at all probable or in keeping with the Japanese character that men, women, and children should be wantonly outraged and murdered, and that property should be needlessly pillaged and destroyed. We are of opinion that in every case+there would be found, on examination, great To exaggeration as to the actual facts, and a very considerable amount of suppression in regard to the circumstances that led up to and attended the event. In every case we feel sure that there has been great provocation and that there has been,, from a military point of view, justification for all or nearly all that has really been done. The Chinese settlers in Formosa are la rebellion against the Japanese. They have not acquiesced in the cession of their country to Japan. They are, on doubtless, encouraged, if not alded, by emissaries from China. There are still among them numerous parties of Chinese soldiery and of the "Black Flags" from the frontiers of Tonkin, with their preda- tory habits and ferocious Instincts, and with the experience in guerilla war- fare obtained by them during ten years of incessant struggles with the French. The Japanese have, unfortunately for themselves, Insufficient forces in Formosa to hold the island in complete subjection, and they have very many difficulties to contend with in the climate, in their igno- rance of the language, in the universal

features of the country, mostly forest and mountain, with few or no communications of any kind. Every Chinaman is an enemy, every village a centre of dis- affection, every small town a miniature fortress. While the Japanese are present in force all is order and obedience. When they are few in number and scattered, they are attacked from all points, cut off, and hunted down. How can such a country be kept in order, how are attacks on soldiers by rustics and villagers to be repressed? Organised forces can be encountered and dealt with in the ordinary way. There is but one method of dealing with warfare of the description the Japanese have to encounter in Formosa, Every civilized nation has had at one time or other in its career to adopt similar measures.
