P ROSPECTUS. While Exchange Banks an .l Credit Institu'ions have been established to conne,,t this country financially with almost every fcreign market, and to g,ve fact itfes for conveying to our shores every descrit tion of merchandi e, it is remarkable that as soon as the operatir,n ot importmg - is performed the Monetary facilitie4 are vir.thdrawn. The bills drawn upon our merchants mature, ar,d must either be -net by the mer chant's capital unaided, or by sales. Thul, when tempo rari y there is an exr,ess of any commodity imported, its price is undu y de , dra 'Bed, and a riuu- losses are incurre. (.4dinary banters and discount houses dislike making ad vances upon mer ehandise, having no organisation for exa mining the goo ds and correct y estimating their val. What they wan' are good bills, dr awn on t h ose who, knowue ing the value, l' Ave accepted for a fair advance. Divisi, nof labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable. To meet V ais want, which every merchant must acknowl ledge, the W 'arrant Bankng Company is formed. 'The bu 11C88 of the Company will mainly amsist in making; . .dv . laces is upon warn At of the staple articles of produce, refine by dock ants or other means of absolute assic;nment, duly inspected, and v Iced on behalf of the CoMpP.,ny, and with a proper awl - hi to allow for depreciation. These at' , vanc( s will be made in a ceptances by the Com p ny of tt,e drafts of its customers, and a's every bill will re- Present in .er, hanaise readily convertlalf, and b.. at the sane time secu red by the whole ca ital of a powerful Company, the exact pow ition of which will be patent to aly there can be no doubt tha ,t the whole Dis ount Market will be availablewhen it is dean ,•ed by the holder to turn the bill into It will c be readily apparent that the existence of such an institut' ton, while it will be of great sel'vice to merchantß and increas a the stability of the entire cirss, will be an equal con venier .ce to ban, e-s and dis:,ourit fi - ems, furnishing them with a class of bills ra ely obtainalife. In order to render the due paym llent of the company's a zeeptances certain, the Directors Zvi it uniAertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company be invested, and, so far as practicable, remain invested in British and East Indian. Government securities, and upon deposit at call, and it is proposed that the capital thus paid sap and invested withirj. the first year shall reach the sum of at least £200,( 00. The field which exists for such an undertaking will be at once apparent from a glnce at the Board of Trade returns of foreign imports fox the, past year, which amounted (not to spe h ak of home p: o d ue,e) to over 4200,1.00,000. If we estimate e the .1 average stock of for ign goods held i n ware h ouse, as am qu ount of to h,..ee months' o.nsu m p t i on, i t would represent an .E50,0„,0,000.

Edward Ashworth, Esq., Exchange chambers, Manchester. M.. J. Beverley, Esq., Leeds. This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing Population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the number of visitors during hate years, call for the immediate intr.duction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and avove averag e value; whil st around the Coast there a re extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of weed fo r fo r M anure. The expense and trouble, however, e of l and-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active c,,peration ; and the quality of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to any produced from the treat Welsh quarries. The Granite near St. John's corn tares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Do : x Works, and would at once, by means of railway faciliti,„ become available f or export. One of . t",e proposed St a ti ons on the line will be at St. John i 3, w dlere the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is also tb . .d centre of th e F oxdale ruining district. The produce of "'Ass) mines is now brcught by land-carriage (there being -;) water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ban miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as `yell as all necessaries required by the inland population, ;are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal town s are Douglas Peel, Castletown, Ramsey, and L axey : Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, As well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the - route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex- 1 pensive.' The access to the Island is easy, and the means of cora munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Hence, Tourists visit the bland in large numbers, above 100,000 p assengers having been landed at its Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The Picturesque is unit e d w ith t h e more so lid a d vantage of cheap l iving, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex- Pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so Atnall as to render the Island most advantageous as a per manent place of residenee. hDer Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are w expending up war d s of £60,000, for the improvement of e Ports of Douglas and Peel The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much Returns, b it is p con cometent persons , and well supported by Official fidently expected that the Traffic wil re turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists ...... £7,500 per annum.

The object of this Company is to establish Works for the purpose of Manufacturing., with improved Machinery, which has been secured byPatent, various descriptions of Woollen Fabrics, by the process of Felting, whereby the cumbrous and expensive Machinery used in Spinning and Weaving is dispensed with, and a saving of time and material effected of not less than 30 per cent. In addition to the production of carpets and the various descriptions of Felted Goods now in general demand, it is intended by this Company to apply this process to a higher class of goods than has hitherto been done in this country. The adopti4n of Meltons, or undressed Cloth, as an article of wear by the public, opens a large field for this branch, as also blankets, Army Cloth, &c., though the promoters see no limit to its operation, as it is capable of the manu facture of Cloth of the finest quality. The objection to the old Felted Productions is entirely removed by the Patent Process to be adopted. RESULTS OP THE WORKING OF THE SYSTEM. The principle of felting has been in operation to a con siderable extent, and worked with great success. The Felt Company of Leeds, whose Patents are now expired, have carried on this process with a prosperity notorious in that seat of the woollen mantifaettire. In France and Germany this mode has long been worked out with similar results. In America (whence we have derived so many improve ments) this principle has been fully developed. DESCRIPTION OP TRE PROPERTY. The Directors have secured a spacious and newly -con structed Mill, worth silt acres of land, known as Stayer ton Mill," in the midst of the Woollen Manufactories of Bradford-on-Avon and Trowbridge, in every respect espe cially eligible for the undertaking, having the great advantage of water-power in addition to first class steam engines fitted with all the latest improvements —whereby a very large per centage of fuel is saved, and which can be at work imme diately. On the estate are also gas works, cottages, manager's dwelling, stables, ani various other buildings, forming one of the most complete properties of the kind in England. This freehold, together with a valuable patent, founded on the improvements made in America, combined with those resulting from many years' experience in this country, has been purchased on advantageous terms, to be paid partly in cash and partly in shares, which shares will not participate in any profit until a dividend of 10 per cent. ie paid on the 'ordinary shares. SPECIAL , ADVINTAGES OF THIS COMPANY. The advantages posesessed by this Company are im proved patented machinery, auxiliary water-power, and a saving of at least 25 per cent. in the unskilled portion of labour as compared with the North, which justify the Directors in entertaining the most sanguine expectations as to the probable nature of the enterprise, and in which they are strengthened by the favourable opinion express3cl by the eminent firms who have signed the attes tation at foot. The Directors, therefore, recommend this undertaking with the greatest confidence, as a safe and legitimate investment in one of the great staple manufac tures of this country, forming a favourable contrast to many of the speculations now offered to the public. ESTIMATED PROFITS. The whole operation has been under a patient and labo rious investigation by some of the most eminent Manufac turers of this Kingdom, and the result shows, after making the most ample allowance for every exigency, a profit, of 25 per cent. per annum on the Capital proposed to be raised; and this on a calculation based on the lowest quality of goods, on which there would be, of course, less profit than on the higher classes to which it is applicable. DEMAND. _ _ _ The steady increase for several years past for the various articles manufactured by the Felting process, assures the Directors as to the demand for many descriptions of Woollen Goods both for home and foreign consumption, which the high price of cotton is rapidly augmenting. MANAGER AT THE WORKS. The Directors being fully alive to the importance of having a thoroughly practical manager at the works, have made a preliminary engagement with one who has devoted many years to the manufacture of felted fabrics and who has been very successful in the introduction of im provements in machinery in this increasing branch of manu facture ; and they will not allot any shares until such an amount of capital be applied for as in their opinion will be adequate to enable them to commence on a scale that will produce a satisfactory dividend. Some of the Directors, who are practically acquainted with the process, have visited the works, obtained most reliable information, and anticipate being large customers for the articles proposed to be produced. ACCOUNTS. The Directors, in order to insure correctness and regu larity in the Factory accounts, have entered into a prelimi nary arrangement for the appointment of a local auditor, whose duty will be to visit the works every fortnight. SUMMARY OF PATENT. The advantages contemplated to be derived from the Patents may be briefly stated to be threefold :- Ist. A mode of feeding the carder is employed which, in stead of delivering the fibres of the wool longitudinally, in terweaves and intercrosses them from side to side, so that the fibres of wool are interlaced with each other in such a man ner, that when the Felting process is applied, the material becomes equally strong in every direction. 2d, A fiat hardener, by which the tension of the fibres of the wool is avoided, and is peculiarly adapted to fine cloth. 3d, The finishing or hardening rollers through which the cloth is lastly passed, somewhat similar to those of a paper machine, and by which a firmness is obtained which has yet never been acquired by felted goods, the want of which has rendered the present make of felted carpets objectionable as wearing woolly. By this new process the hardness and firmness of leather can be obtained, if needful. The Articles of Association can be inspected at the offices of the Company. Applications for Shares roust be made to the Offices of the Company. A preference in the allotment will be given according to priority of applicatiun. " To the Directors of the West of England Woollen Company. " Gentlemen,—Having carefully surveyed the Staverton Mills,' near Bradford on-Avon, agreed to be purchased by ' The West of England Woollen Manufacturing Company (Limited),' I am of opinion that it is an exceedingly eligible and well-arranged property, possessing an area of buildings, together with steam and water-power, fully ade quate to a very large production of manufactured goods, and at the same time capable of great extension it eve.. needed.

DIEI if; IV .iliting — OuTlsl" - anch schemes a iutely necessary for the convenience of the p The Towle CLERK read the petition, whici the committee had seen with great satisfactim poration of London had appointed a special consider this important subject, and went on • mischief which was likely to be occasioned to ti to Jitath, and also to the trade of the city of London, ; S the proposed projects were carried out to anything like t eert - ent con templated ; and expressed an opinion that inc munch as three important termini in the City had been sanctioned, euflicient had been done . ,-at all events for the present, and prayed the committee to oppose every scheme affecting tho City that was not prom] to be absolutely necessary, s cad at the same time suggested the advisability of endeavouri.v; to obtain the nostponenuent of the whole of the remaining; railway pro jects, at all events to the next seesion of Path.' amcnt. Alderman FINNIS then moved that the pci don should be referred to the Special Railway Committee, at dhe said that the subject *as one of the most vital itnportac rice to the in terests of the city of London, and every one r eliding in the City had a doep interest in what was going on ;at the prcsent moment, and was a serious sufferer by the aft en )pt to ir vado the City in all directions different rawa 3' cote ,rudee. No time must be lost, hut he hoped they wo ald be able by strenuous exertions to save the city of London horn the mis chief with which it was threatened. Al:lermau DAMN said he should like to be itnfortned by the petitioners whether the recent joint resol uution of tho committees of the Houses of Lords and Comm( Ins, by which a great many projects had been set aside, had made any difference in their opinion upon the subject. Mr. MORLEY, who with Messrs. Gassiott, C andy, Tits, M.P., and some other influential firms in the City, W h o represented the committee, and who, it shoadd be stated, ' had been invited upon the motion of Alderman }lnnis to take their seats on the upper bench of the court, replied that this resolution did not in any way affect their opinions, as a great many most objectionable projects still remained. It was the opinion of the committee that the best course would be for all the remaining schemes affecting the city of London to be postponed, in order that they might be fully considered, and that none should be sanctioned except such as were absolute/y• necessary for the convenience of the public, of which tho citizens of London were as well able to judge as any set of speculators. (Hear, hear.) Alderman Fuerris went en to say that at the present time the citizens of London were subjected to the receipt of notice of removal from every enterprising solicitor who thought he could get up a company, and they were kept in a state of constant nervous excitement, not knowing whether they were to be turned out of their houses or not. (Hear.) Mr. J. SvmoNs seconded the motion of the worthy alder man. • Deputy ToNEs, chairman of the Law and Parliamentary Committee, said he perfectly concurred in the views that had been expressed as to the desirability of doing something to put a stop to the proceedings that were now going on, but it had always been customary to place such matters in the hands of the Law and Parliamentary Committee, and it appeared to him that it would tend to weaken their powers if they were divided betweei a two committees. He therefore suggested that either the Sp eoial Committee or the Law and Parliamentary Committee a. could act alone in the matter, and undertake the entire responsibility. Alderman ROSE, M.P., said that he could not see any ob jection to the two committees acting together, and he hoped that nothing would be done to cause delay in endeavouring to put a stop to the mischief with which the city of London was threatened. (Hear, hear.) He could assure them that it was a very eerious question indeed ; and he would remind them that during the course of construction of tho Metropo litan Railway the trade of one street in their line of works was entirely annihilated. (Hear, hear.) He would leave them tojudge what would be the effect of a similar proceeding in the city of London—Chear, hear)—and he had no hesitation in saying that if many of the proposed projects were carried out the result would be that the trade of the city would, to a great extent, be entirely destroyed. (Hear, hear.) These railway projects would, also, not only interfere moat disas trously with the trade of the city, but also with the leases, rents, and a great many other important matters, and all business arrangements for the future would be at a complete standstill. (Hear, hear.) He could also inform them that a great many of the bills had already been read a second time, and that there was no time to be lost. (Hear.) Mr. H. LOWMAN TAYLOR expressed his opinion that the citizens of London and the public generally were very much indebted to the memorialists for coming forward as they had done in this important matter, and that such powerful co operation must have great weight. (Hoar, hear.) He was very glad to see that a proposition that had been made in the House of Commons, that a committee of engineers should be formed to decide which of the proposed railway projects were likely to be the most advantageous to the public had been opposed by Mr. Milner Gibson ; and in his opinion no body of engineers or profess .onal men, however respectable they might be, ought to be entrusted with such power as would have been conferred upon such a committee. (Hear.) He agreed with the memorialists, and as three termini of railways had already been sanctioned in the heart of the City of London, enough had been done for the present, and that it was extremely advisable that all the other projects affecting the City should be postponed, at all events for the present. (Hear, hear.) It gave him great satisfaction to see that the merchants of the ay of London had moved in the matter, and he thought that the Parliament would not fail to give effect to an expression of opinion from such a high source. (Hear, hear.) Ho quite concurred with the object in view, but it appeared to him that it would be better for the whole matter to be placed under one committee, and although he was aware that the Court was very fond of new things—he supposed upon the principle that new brooms sweep clean—(No, no, and laughter) —still he could not help saying that he thought it would he better for the matter to be referred to the Law and Parliamentary Com mittee, which had always dealt with such subjects. Mr. RICHARDSON opposed the suggestion of Mr. Taylor, and said he hoped the matter would still be left in the hands of the special committee, which he said he was sure would act with energy. The LORD MAYOR begged to boallowed to say a few words upon the important subject before the Court. (Hear, hear.) He said it appeared to him that there had been so much mischief effected by the proceedings of the different railway companies, and so much more was likely to be done if some stop were not put to these proceedings, that it was a matter of urgent necessity that everything that was possible should be done to procure a postponement of a great many of the schemes affecting the city of London that were now before Parliament. (Hear, hear.) If they only considered for a moment, they would see the enormous amount of work that was to be done in the city of London that had already re ceived the sanction of Parliament. His lordship then men tioned the various important works about to be commenced, enumerating among them the new Dead Meat Market, the new street from Blackfriars-bridge to the Mansion-house, the Thames Embankment, the Holborn Valley Improve ment, and various others, and said it appeared to him to be manifest that if any more were attempted to be done the City would be almost in a state of chaos. The works that were already sanctioned would occasion the displacement of a vast number of traders of the city of London, and, if all the proposed schemes were to be carried out, it appeared to him that it would be almost tantamount to giving notice to the traders of London to quit the city entirely. (Hear.) It appeared to him therefore that it was almost an absoluto necessity that a great many of the proposed projects should be postponed, at all events until some of the great works that had already been sanctioned by the Legislature had been completed. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then agreed to unanimously, and Mr. G. J. COCKERELL also moved that the chairman of the Law and Parliamentary Committee (it having been pre viously agreed to, upon the motion of Deputy Jones), that the subject should be left entirely in the hands of the Spe cial Railway Committee), the chairman of the Sewers Com. mission, the chairman of the Improvement Committee, and the chairman of the City Lands Committee, with the Alder men present, Messrs. Finnis,, Carter, Sir F. G. Moon, J. C. Lawrence, Abbiss, and Lusk, and those members of the Court who had seats in the House of Commons, should be added to the Special Committee. This motion was agreed to. Deputy Lorr then proposed his motion above referred to, which was also unanimously agreed to. Mr. RISHARDSQN, in the absence of Deputy 0 wden, pre sented a petition from the inhabitants of the Ward of the Court to t a k e i nto consideration t g h i es h e opsgate, praying ffect of the various schemes of the projected railways on the now flourishing trade of this important and populous ward, and to adopt such measures as may be deemed advi sable to prevent the carrying out of such schemes, which will entail ruin upon so many of its inhabitants. This petition was also referred to the Special Railway Committee. reporte Corporation, of COAL, CORN, A ND FINANCE COMMITTEE. D eputyß ONE, th e c h a i rman o f this committee, moved that thef th e committee, which was w which brought related up n t o a the former financesd:o and ordered to be printed, be agreed to. The most mat er i a l par t o f t h e report related to the money received by the Corporation upon the sale of the shares held by them in the Metropolitan Railway. The number so held was 20,000, and it appeared that, through the exertions of the committee, they had been enabled to sell them at a profit of £57,000. Upon receiving so large a sum of money as resulted from the sale of the shares, which was about £257,000, the committe e were f or some ti me engaged in considering what was the best use to be made of it, and they at length resolved to invest it in Consols, to accu mulate, to pay off a debt of £350,000 that had been advanced to the Corporation by the Bank of England to carry out some public works, and which sum bore interest at 4A per cent., and was to have been repaid out of the 4d. coal duty, which was no longer available. This had been done, and the committee now asked the Court to sanction the course they had taken. Deputy SCAMELL expressed his opinion that better usa might have been made of such a large sum of money than investing it in Consols, which only paid 3 per cent., while they were paying the Bank of England 41 per cent, upon their money. The committee might have repaid the money to the Bank. Deputy money was borro we d f or t en years, and B dth o sE eyb s a a d id off th er a e t d th th e eßank of England to repay it. They, however, very politely, but at the same time very positively, re f us ed to receive it. (A l augh.) The report was then agreed to, and the Court shortly afterwards adjourned.

Offices :2, Queen-street-place, Milne, London. The reason why the mines purchased by this company have been brought out in one company is not only to save the great expense of three boards of directors, with three sets of books and accounts, but to insure to the shareholders constant and regular dividends. Where there is only one mine something may happen to stop returns for a time, but with three mines in work continuous returns may be relied on, This is the great reason of the success of the St, John del Rey Mining Company, which pays 30 per cent. divi dend; for that spirited company has now five mines, which enable it to keep up its great dividends, although some of its mines may be for a time non .productive. The Lochfyne Sett is very extensive, and contains three large lodes of copper, running through the sett for nearly one mile and a half. The width of the Grey Copper Lode is full 30 feet, and the assays of it, made by Mr. Mitchell, of London, are 14, 16, 25, and 35 per cent. The Yellow Copper Lode is 20 feet wide, and the assays 10, 22, and 26 per cent. The whole of these lodes may be worked by levels, so that there is no water to draw. There is abundance of water power, which will save the necessity of steam engines to crush and dress the ores. The mines are within two miles of a good shipping port, connected with a road recently made. It would certainly be difficult to find another pro pet ty in the kingdom combining so many advantages. This valuable mine which the company has been fortunate enough to secure is held under a lease of twenty-five years, with one fifteenth of dues. The sett is SOO acres on the course of the lodes. . Captain revethick's report estimates the average yield of the bulk of the ore at Lochfyue at 10 per cent., and as the average of the Devon Great Consols (which pay £60,000 per annum in dividends) is only per cent., a more favour able result than even that of the Devon Great Consols may reasonably be anticipated. The Rednal Mine extends to nearly a mii6 on the course of the lode, and is held under lease for twenty-on, years at a royalty of one-fifteenth. This valuable property is sittL , ted within one mile and a half of the Re lnal Station on the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, and within forty miles of Liverpool, where there are smelting works to take all the ore that can be raised. At Alderley Edge, in Cheshire, where the same ores as the Rednal are being worked so successfully, the produce does not exceed 2 per cent., and yet that company pays a dividend of 40 per cent, on its capital, proVing the value of this description of ores, and giving the best criterion for estimating the superior results to be expected from the Rednal mines. As another evidence that the sandstone copper ores are highly profitable to work, the directors nof d only refer to the Mansteld Copper Works of Germany, where ores of only I f per cent. yield large dividends, and give employment to 3.000 hands. - A provisional contract has been entered into to purchase the Lochfyne, hednal, and other mines, for the sum of eight thousand pounds in cash and three thousand shares of the company fully paid up; one-half of which shares are not to bear dividends until the company has paid a divi dend to the shareholders of at least 10 per cent. ow of profits. The outlay required in developing these mines will be unusually small, owing to there being no engine shafts to be sunk. That the outlay will exceed £5,000 on each property, or £15,000 in all, is not probable; in tact, it is more like'y that one-half of that sum will be sufficient. The very moderate estimate of 24,000 tons of ore from the three mines, with a profit of £2 per ton, will yield a re venue of £48,000 per annum, or nearly 50 per cent. on the capital The directors have much pleasure in calling attention to the annexed highly , satisfactory reports from gentlemen personally acquainted with the working of copper mines. It will be observed that Captain Charles Thomas, of Dolcoath, thinks the Rednal Mine a promising undertaking; and the Lochfyne Mine is one of more than ordinary promise as a copper mine of great value and importance. Captain Phillips says he is satisfied that the Lochfyne Mine will turn out another Devon Great Consols. Samples of the ores may be inspected at the company's offices, where copies of the prospectus and reports may be obtained. As a large portion of the shares have already been applied for, an early application for the remainder will be necessary.

Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta blished to meet the requirements of most departments of trade, it has not been intro lucei ;or the business of the Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the metropolis ; and though the population has doubled within the last twenty five years—and consequently the necessary quantity of sup plies —yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twenty millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private firms. The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an office in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan Catt e-market ; and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening branches in he agricultural districts.

Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger traffic which exists between this country, America, the West Indies, and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommoda tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary ; and to supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted ill on the model of the great American and Continental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best style. Under the Hotel have been formed Ice wells, capable of storing* about 3,000 tons of ice. These are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the whole town. The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital will be realised. It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other large towns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The Company will take immediate possession of the pre mises, and enter at once upon the business, consequently re turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate large dividends for the shareholders. ' here will be no promotion money, and the preliminary expenses will be restricted to th e amount actually incurred. If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit will be retnrned in full ; and if a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wid be cre dited towards the payment on allotment. Plans of the pronerty may be seen at the Offices of the Com pany, and also at the Brokers, where Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be had.

SHREWSBURY SPRING RACES. Mr. Frail generally succeeds in getting up an agreeable pendant to Liverpool and luring " the stable mind" for yet another two days from their hearths and homes. The coun try bore an extremely wintry aspect between this and Liver pool, the snow lying deep in some places; but the usual good fortune attended Shrewsbury, for the old Wrekin was without the wedding garment of his neighbours, and the racing came off, not with large fields, indeed, but with good contests for the majority of the events. A very neat com pact-looking colt of Lord Uxbridge's, Jack Ketch by name, carried off .the County Members' Plate easily, and in the Racing Handicap Prescription, getting quickly on her legs, rushed to the front, and managed to keep there, and despite a set-to with Reindeer, won a good race by a head. For the Cleveland Handicap only Aurelian and Earl of Surrey came to the post, the latter being made a warm favourite from the supposition that Lord Westmoreland's horse could not give the weight; but Goater patiently bided his time, and allowed the favourite to make all the running to the Stand, when he went up to him, shook him off in a few strides, and came easily first past the chair. Young Grim. ahaw landed the Herbert Plate for Lord Bateman by his determined riding, Reindeer's severe race with Prescription of course, something to do with his de previously having, feat now. The half-mile Selling Stakes gave a fine struggle be tween Usher and Damascus, the handsome son of Chatham bringing the " green and white stripes," for the second time to-day, first past the judge by a head. The Hurdle Race was won by Vivandiere beating Wortham and Over the Sea. The weather was as fine as could be desired, though the attendance was far from numerous.

(Pearson) 3 Lord Bateman's Effigy (late Receipt), Bst 71b (Tomlinson) 4 Betting—Even on Jack Ketch, 6 to 4 agst Rose of Den mark, 10 to 1 agst any other. Rose of Denmark slipped her horses immediately the flag was lowered, and came on with a slight lead of the favourite and Ailesbury into the straight, where the latter dropped back. At the distance Jack Ketch joined issue with the leader, the pair running together to the en closure, where the former, having a trifle the best of it, came on in advance, and won cleverly by two lengths, three lengths separating the second and third. Effigy was a bad fourth. The Racing Plato (handicap) of 5 sous each, with a plate value 30 soya added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Winners extra. The second horse to save his stake.

Prescription cut out the work, closely followed by Cut away and Reindeer, into the straight, soon after entering which Bright Cloud for a few strides appeared to have the best of it, but the young one coming again half-way up took a decided lead, but was challenged at the stand by BETTING AT MANCHESTER-THURSDAY, 1:::pre were very few members present at the rooms to day, an d ,:pt much business done.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court Right Common i f gh t Hon.theCouncil my or was atG Guild hall. d - hall. T was a full attendance of members, the meeting being a special one upon important business. THE PROPOSED RAILWAY INVASION OF THE CITY. Deputy LoTT, the chairman of the special railway com mittee appointed by this Court a short time back to consider the subject of the numerous railway projects affecting the City of London, said that he had a motion to make, the effect of which was to empower the committee, in the present urgency of affair; in connection with the projects by which it was proposed almost to destroy the City of London, to at once petition Parliament, and to take any other steps they might consider necessary for the protection of the interests of the citizens of London and of the public ; but as Alder , man Finnis had another motion upon the same subject, which was of very great importance, he considered it advis able that this motion should be brought forward at the same t i me . (Hear, hear.) Ho was happy to inform the Court that the merchants of the city of London had taken up the matter and had held a meeting upon the subject, and the Corporation of London would now have their powerful co operation and assistance to stop the mischief which was sought to be effected. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Alderman Fnixis then presented a petition of the com mittee appointed at a public meeting of bankers, merchants, and traders of the city of London, on the 4th inst., praying the Court to take into consideration the various schemes of projected railways in the city of London, with a view to their postponement, in order that measures may be adopted to ■
