Thts °moping I formed foe the purpose of purchasing the
following valuable Hotels, situated at Chamonix :
I.lintel Royal, T HOW de runiou, !lintel du Palala de Cristal,,
rHetel do Nord, motel d'Angletevre, mew de Lmidres, maw
du Mont Blanc. .

Arrangements have been made whereby the freehold of tee
lands, buildings, furniture, plate, wines. ,horses, mules, and all
the necessary adjuncts for fully carrying on the buimess,
pass into the immediate possession of the Company on very
advantageous terms.
The renown of Chamonix for afro matchless beauty of the
mountain scenery with which it is memo fed, has for teeny
yaws pest rendered it • favourite readereens for tourists from
all carte of the world, and It Is estimated that an enrage of
12,00 u to 16,000 peewee annually visit this spot, the latter number
having been exceeded last year, notwithstanding the absence of
American visitors. who, on the anbeidence of the war, would con-
siderably segment these numbers.
Teldng sa a basis that each visitor remains only three days,
this give a total of 06,000; and cakulating an average expendi-
ture of 16s. per day for each memo, incb•cling wines. • gross
receipt of 063,710 would be produced, from which a net income
of C 16,000 per annum may fairly be computed. The directors,
therefore, confidently anticipate that a dividend will be declared
at the end of the weevil year, of sot loss Hata 16 per cent.,
{saving a lame surplus to be carried over to a reserve hod.
The four principal hotels have not been built more than four
or five years, whilst the remainder bare been erected about ten
years. and bah since been entirely renovated. They contain
together ample accommodation foe over 600 penes.
By the amalgamation of the Hotels embraced to this under-
taking, competition, hitherto entailing large sacrifices on the
proprietors of each establishment. will were.Me several Hotels
being opened only as the influx of visitors renders It neemeary.
The supply of provisions will thus be strictly regulated by the
consurspUm, and all general expenses of management become
proportionate to the number of visitors. The gratnitiesto guides,
though whom custom was formerly secured, forming mammal
burthen of Mime 43.000 on the management espenees of the
hotels, will also be entirely economised, and Increase the volts
to that amount.

This Company, which has been in preparatim for several
months, and has now succeeded In uniting important and furl u•
andel interests in Italy In Its favour, Is Intended to aid In deve-

of soil, climate, and emit on, is pre-emlnently favoured.
Italy at this time offers a wide field for the proatabis Invest-

appliances, of an improved system of agriculture.

wlap Its resoarces.
The estates of the g-eat landowners, where 'limited near the
Noes of railway DOW under construction, are susceptible of vast
Improvement. The outlay et capital for that object will be ex-
tremely ;profitable, and the murky for its repayment will be

twenty-eve years will prove very lucrative.
The parches, of large estates, and their sub-division for the
purpose of resale into conveniently abed properties, would be a
source of great profit, and at this time especially could be re-
sorted to with good result, so portions of the Crown domains In
Tuscany and other ;arta of Italy are now for sale cm moderate
terms._

—ha Directors propose to make arrangements for the purchaae
of various large lemma of Clown land, to be selected tram the do-
mains of the Government. These purchase. will be made at •
price reckoned on the net lecome at present received from them,
and which will thus at once yield • return of from 6 to 6 per
cont., even In tbetr present neglected condition.
The land will be •elected in the localities most favourable for
rapid Improvement, or In contiguity with the new Unes of rail-
way, and on or near to the sea coast, and suited to the culture
of cotton, site, flat, hemp, oil, corn, wine, madder, liquorice,
tobacco, and fruits , and for the production and rearing of live
stock.

--Most of these fine lands hare kr centuries been suffered to fall
Into a state of neglect and unprodmilveuess. The conatructiou
