The deficiency of hotel aixorpmolation In India. China and
other places in the East to which Europeans now resort in large
and annually increasing numbers. is a subject of patrol com-
plaint ; and it is evident that the development of the means of
transit by ocean and river steamers, an I by railways. which has
been in rapid progress now for •cne years, moat imperfectly
fulfil all Its Important object., so far as European intercourse
with the East la concerned, until this want is adeqoately
supplied.
In England. and on the Continent of Europe, It Is now ea
ascertained fact that the lelat.stock system may mod enc.
cessfuly be applied to the establiw.ment of hotels of the first
elms. If this be an where good private hotels before existed In
large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt that an equal
degree of commercial success is attainable by the application of
pital, upon the same system, to the same object, In countries
where, though the damn I is great and Increasing, it may almost
be said that good pse.te hold. do not mist.
In Calcutta a Joint Mort Company has lately purchaaed and
undertaken the management of a hotel, and the prospecte of the
enterprise. as a commercial speculation, may be inferred from
the very high premium at which their shares are quoted In the
Calcutta market-me "Times" July 17. the "Englishman'.
Weekly Nail" of Jose Bth. 1867, and Allen's liptlen Mail."
vik-420 paid, present value 4121 el dtv., equal to 70 per cent.
premium. and tbe payment of a dividend a 10 per teat. for the
half-year ending 10th April last, equal to 10 per cent. per an.
num. Bombay offers a wide field for the establlehment of a
hotel of a gut-class character. The early coronet on of vest
lines of railway oelovergtog in the 'eland of Bombay, nod the
more frequent steam communication between that port and
?name, which will soon take place, moat very much lecrease
the demand for such accommodatioo. The same may be said of
Madras. . . . . . .
