This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out con-
cessions for making and working tramways In the kingdom of
Holland and ad:tweet States. A 031101111SaDD for • double tram-
way teem the Keane to
on ,the Brighton of Rollandt

wish isabhe tames, nada emstraet
has Wen eandieded empoesible English contrarian. by
which they undertake to parches the land, to make the linea
and provide ail the rolling stock, hones, six.. for the sure of
440,000. The remaining 410,000 will be required for a working
capstaL
The works are in active progress, and will be completed and
broaght into operation in the course of the month of May nest.
The Hoe will °museum in the principal 'pure In the town of
the Hague, and follow the ordinary route to Scheveningue, re-
turning by another route, .IA the Canal and the Zoological
Gardens, to the um* station, being a total length of about eaves
Inglab miles.
Scheveningue, the only marine suburb In Holland, Is resorted
to by large numbers of visitors, chiefly from Amsterdam, Rot-
terdam, Utrecht, and other towns.
From minute information furnished by the town authorities,
the number of vehicles employed In this vane has bees same-
tained to make 110,000 lounmys • year, each oonveying on an
average as patsuea anti the total number of visitors now enter-
, ing Scheveningue is carriages and on foot amounts to about
4,000,000 a year: of these it may fairly be estimated that ma-
' fourth will travel by the tramway. In addition thereto, about
20,000 tone of fob. merchandise, and provision. are carried
annually between the Hague and Scheveningue, of which it is
earned that one half at least wilt be carried by the tramway.
Press existing sources of tragic an anneal income of at least
410.000 may safely be calculated upon.
From carefully prepared estimates of the cost of horse-keep,
wages, repairs, and every contingency, the general result is that
a sett dividend of not less than lb per cent. on the proposed
capital may fairly be relied upon.
• large number of shares has already been subscribed for in
Holland, which furnishes a proof of the high estimation in
which this undertaking is held by the Dutch people. Applies-
Gone for the remaining shares may be made to the Brokers, or
• to the Secretary, at the Oillees, IS. Cannonstreet, but no
application will be considered, unless accompanied by a deposit
of 41 per share . should no allotment be made to the applicant,
this sum .111 be returned in full.

Of ridsectunise or Mr lienem4,
nation of " tina.cJass," both y as ell as increasing in
value year by year, none can at all compare with freehold or
long leasehold City of London property, especiany that vertical
situated within a radius of 1,000 yards of the Beak of England ;
this fact Is so well known, that the greatest competition is ex.
cited when any property of this description is offered In the
market : and large as aeries in value of such property has been
during the last few soars, it is admitted by ail conversant with
the subject that a still greater Increase must continue to take
place from the Impossibility of supplying the suitable accommo-
dation required by Jointetock companies and commercial and
profeestooal
The City Nikes Company (Limited) have agreed for the pur-
chase of the undermentioned ales of land, with the buildup
thereon. which for eligibility of situation and Mae of each block
are ouches can rarely be acquired, as the following enumeration
will amply prove ; they are In five blocks, via., A, B, C, LI, and B.
Block A consists of the freehold premises 2.5,215. 16, 27, in
clenstecedene, Lombard-street, with No. 9, 10, and 11 in Nag's
Headcourt, and 3,4, and 5, Church-court, the whole forming •
magnificent block of premises, with lights, and eel:maces Cia

In feet frontage and ISO feet depth, and contains 9,900 square
superficial feet, and Is the largest block so near Lombardetrect
that has been in the !market for some years

situated 20. Lisilenballatreet, nearly opposite the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's foam, and extending back to LiaseatreM.-
square . It has been erected within the last three yea, s, from
the designs of John Whlcbcord, Pam., and contains 120 &M-
-alan offices, with four shops, the whole let to tirstelau mer-
chants and others: It has fire-proof corridors and stone Mar-
cum, and possesses the mat modern Improvements, including
telegraph station. buffet, &c., In the building. The lame Is for
91 years. at a ground rent of 4700 per annum, It has • hostage
of flo feet, and 170 feet In depth, and contains 10,240 square
superficial feet.
Stock C consists of the handsome edifices erected within the last
seven years, from designs by John Barnett, Bap., architect for
Messrs. John fiord and tons, silversmiths, nod situated 17 and IS,
Cornhill, directly opposite the Bank of England, and alike for
elegance ot building as well as situation perhaps the most de-
sirable in the City. With a very trifling outlay, these, In ac-
cordance with the plane and design. originally made, will be
converted In about three weeks Into owes, sad two-thirds of
the building hap already been let, the ground floor and me:spine
floor being rented by the Credit Mobiller and Credit Ponder
Companies. These premies are leasehold for 60 years, at •
ground rent of £4OO per annum.
Block D consists of the new and substantial block of offices,
erected within the last three years, and are ballt in the most
substantial manner. It contains fifty-five oMois, besides vaults,
the whole, eapsotn* four, being let, and offers bairn/ made for
these. It is freehold, has • frontage of 52 feet and depth of 90
feet, and contains 4,160 superficial square feet, and is situated at
OE Great Tower-street, sear Mark.leas.
Block It Is the largest block In the City, It is situate io Bishops-
gate-street, opposite 94 Helen's-place, with • thoroughfare to
be got through to Old broad-street, and in the centre of the
block adjoins Grads= house . it contains 25,000 square feet. It
may be convenient to glee an idea of the site of this floe site of
land. to say that it is more than four times the she of the Auc-
tion Mart. lately sold, and when covered, will be among the
largest and must conveniently arranged office' In the Ctty. This
plot Is leasehold for 99 years, at a ground rent of £4,000 per
I annum.

hold of the whole of the leasehold portions, and deductlag the
valise of the hew bulidinp thereon. an average price of only CS
per square foot, which, compared with the prices paid for the
three Mat properties sold within six weeka, gives the following
results—viz.:

TrteAOCiin Mart ;freehnhil, containing an area of about 6,800
square feet, cost £ll6, 0, which gives an average of .100 per foot.
The leasehold premises, No nu. Lombard-street, occupied by
the Colonial Insurance Company. containing only 1,0,0 feet, sold
to a well. known banker for £441 060, subject to a ground rout et
g.-6,0 per annum, for CI years, which. allowing as In former cal-
culations for purchase of freehold. and deducting value of new
building thereon, gives x.r per square foot.
The leasehold premises in rincia-lantolathly occupied by the
London and Middlesex Bank, containing only 6,0 fret, realised
£lO.lOO, and this subject to a ground rent of £6OO per annum.
which allowing for pasha's of freehold, and deducting value of
new building, gives about •..20 per square foot.
It will be seen. therefore, that if lame pro can be realised,
as they nnelonbtostly can be, on land cost £9O, £3O, and £l7
per foot respectively. the prospects and pro Able profits of those
acquired by this company, costing only £9 per foot, will be evi-
dent at first sight ; if they were re-sold at even the lowest of
these three quotations, It would leave the City 011 c es Company
t Limited a very large profit on the cost.
Thl Company's plan of operations will consist in adapting such
of these premises as may be suitable. and erecting new buildings
on the remainder, the whole to be let off as offices suitable for
banks, large companies, or commercial and pn,fessional firms ;
and from calculations made, bawd upon moderate rentals, a
return of from lb to 20 per cent. on the outlay may be fairly
relied on. The Company will also from time to Ume acquire
other properties, as the opportoniti.s prvaent themselves, for
the purposes of re-sale or otherwise.
By the issue of debentures or otherwise. the paid-up share
capital will be kept at the lowest possible point.

difference being, that whilst thaw properties arc fa the hands of
a few capitalist; the properties acquired by this Company will
