PRIAM'IIIB.
The aboweitamed Company le established for the purpose of
acquiring the valuable business founded and organised by the
late Mr. B. F 'ernes, to conjunction with hls brother, the lath
Mr. Joseph Sodas, M. I' , and continued and further developed
by Maseru Some. Brother., the present vendors.
The undeniable success of Wu wieners of established reputation
affords ample proof that, as an investment, shipping property
well managed la highly profitable. and the large fortunes accumo•
tided by the late Mr. Joseph Somea, Mr. mow Ward, Mr.
Duncan Dunbar, Kr. Richard Green, and others, amply confirm
this statement.
The Importance of commencing this Company's operations with
an establashed business of more than ordinary repute is felt to
be considerable.

this object the Directnrs have arranged to parzhase the
line fleet of modern-built Ships, belonging to the eminent firm
of Mann. Banes Brothers, together with their valuable and
commodious Graving Docks on the 1 heroes, knows sa the Canal
Dockyard. Poplar, and the valuable plaid of every description
attached thereto.
This fleet, numbering 18 vessels, COO prism skips built of wand
and Iron, many being upwards of 1,000 tuna nester, the whole
of which are now in active and remunerative employment la
the East lathe, China, and Australian trade*. They are highly
adapted for the conveyance of troops and for transport service,
'adhere been so employed by the government when required,
and they bear a high reputation in the mercantile marine of
this onliifiry..

The Graving Docks are freehold, with a frontage to the River
Thames The Docks are constructed to receive aisles and
steamers of 2,500 tonl and are provided with all the necemary

Rem of ptoflf.
When free from use by the Company's vessels, it is intended that
the Graving Docks shall, as hitherto be employed In the "'Pair
of other vessels; and having in view the very hotted dry dock
accommodation In the Thames, rompared with the extent of
tonnage that frequents the port of London. and the constant
and demand for docks of this magnitude. it is coati-
our led that this branch of the Company's operations
will continue to yield Itvi;large revenue, while the property
will be found yearly in 111 value.
The terms upon which thewhole of the Beet of vowels, graving
docks and plant are to be taken by the Company are meet fair
and libera4 and In perfect harmoay with the high reputation of
the vendors, they haring agreed to the whole being taken at •
valuation, to be made by four competent surveyors, two of
whom will be nominated by Waxen names Igo he... and two b
the Company, with an umpire In the usual way. The goodwill
has been tined at a very moderate price, and which will Include
all the accruing freights on the Alpe, work in the yards, tte
By this arrangement the Company confidently angered' that
they will be in a position to declare large dividends. ro that the
Directors feel that applicants., teethed of applying for shares in

the oldest, most lucrative, and valuable conceras In Landon, and
which barn the immense advantage of being in full operation.
Messrs. Sane, Broth's' have both taken seats at the board,
