The ASIUM Company, the first established for the cultivation
of tea At India. being desirous of concentrating and confining
their to the southern division of Upper Assent, sod
thus centralising the management of their extensive propertira.
have delerathsed on milting to the Northern Assam Tea Com-
pany iLlanitech, whose estates are contiguous, the whole of the
' northern and eastern division of their property In Asfito,
tn-
stead of adopting the alternative of promotion a new company
in carry them on, or placing them under separate monagement.
The present extension of capital, therefore, is for the purpose
of purchiming direct from the Assam Company the whole of
their nuedying estates in the neiglib • urhood of the Tingrie and
• Deehing riven In Upper Aram. lot some their northern and
eastern division, awl consieting of the following gardens

These comprise some of the fine old Indigenous gardens, le-

at present producing the finest t a and tea seed in Assam—the
letter In ruMcient quantity to enable the purchasers to plant
out any extent of new land without further coil on this bead.
The sees at present under cub ivation Is about 1,000 acres, of
which over 500 are In full bearing. The gardens are surrounded
' by lands, for which grants have been obtained to the extent of
10,000 acres, all of which is very superior and suitable for the
growth of tea.

£100,500
The crop of tea of this season, and any further pants of land
that the superintendent or agenta of the Assam Company may
withall acquired u
commenced dams the current season, com-
mencing November 1, 1864, has also been contracted to be trans-
tarred to this Company, on payment of the so= actually dis-
bursed since that date.
No comn.issions or promotion money have been paid or
allowed.
In thealiotment of shares a preference will be given to share-
holders to the Northern Adam Tea Company and the ADAM
Company.
The Adam Company in 18e3 disposed of their outlying estates
in the district of Cachar, for the purchase of which a Company
was formed In Calcutta, called " The Central Cache? Company,"
the shares of which Company are readily saleable at 25 per cent.
premium. Those of the AM= Company are at above 150 per
cent. premium.
The risoess of tea growing in Assam Is now thoroughly esta-
blished. Indian teas are ratddly increasing In favour and value
owing to their great strength and pungency. Further it may be
stated, thet the recent reduction of tbe duty has already caused
a oonald,rahle advance in prices Isere, and the supply Is still
inadequate to the demand.
In reference to the quality and capabilities of the lands pro-
posed to be purchased, the following extracts are taken from
the last reports.
The resident secretary in India of the Ateam Company, In hie
report on the property contracted for, says
"The lands In tins part of the province are the fined for tea
cultivation In Assam. The soil is not only the very best, but the
freest' contain the most spleudid timber, inexhaustible in extent,
which is not the case is the southern division. It needs no fore-
might to predict that the property the Company holds In this part
or the country may be made within the nett ten years equal, If
led 'ulterior, to that which they will be In possession of at that
time In the southern division."
The following are alas extracts from a report made to the direc-
tors of the Alum Company by their chief superintendent in
January loot, when be visited the property :
" That the land is first rate, there le no question or doubt, but
to effect such an object (that is, work it to tall a derange) It
must be divided into a distinct field, and the management gives
to the person residing on the spot.
"I h.ve now got the Deputy Cetrernlsaioner to accept three
applications near Tlatria, for prolnbly an area of about 7.000
acres, including the laud between Merle. Hoopla Jane, and
17ehune, along the banks of the Therrlo river: and this, with
what we have already secured in other quarters between the
belting and the Tiugrie, will bring the Company's holding up to
at least 10 or 12,000 acres ; and I would recommend the extend-
ing in this quarter for the reason that the land is very superior,
and the position likely to be much more healthy than any other
portion of the Northern and Eastern division.
" The present gardens, If worked up to their capabilities,
would yield 2,0.0 mounds of tea.
" The plants in the nurseries, which were put down last year
for the purpose of planting out, have come up very well, some
of them eighteen inches and others two feet high."
The adds bete been frequently visited by
the managing
director of the Northern Assam Tea Company during the last
thirteen years. and as lately as March last. ace fully confirms
the favourable views above expressed, and lad opinion that with
comparatively small outlay the indigenous pl tnte alone can be
worked up to an sannal yield of 4,000 to 5,000 cheats of tea.
Since the contract for the purchase has been concluded, the
Assam Company have received from their managing director in
and front a large shareholder in both compies DOW
visiting Assam, valuations of the property greatly In xcess of
the price agreed to be paid.
On the above grounds, therefore, the acqtdsition of these
estates will render the Northern Assam Tea Company one of the
most Influential and profitable in India.
Application for shares to be made on the annexed form on or
belore Wednesday, the list May, on which date the list will be
closed.
