The Assam Company, the tint eotablieholl for the cultivation
of tea in India. being desirous of concentrating and eonnoing
their operations to the southern division of Upper Assam, anti
thus centrollang the management of their exteasive properties,
have determined on selling to the Northern AM= Tea Com-
pany (Welted., whose estates are contiguous, the whole of the
northern and eastern division of their property la Maim. In-
stead of adopting the alternative of promoting a new company
to easy them on, or placing them under separate management.
The present extension of capital, therefore, le for the norm',
of purchasing direct from the Assam Company the whole of
their outlying estates In the neighh.nrhood of the Snarls and

These comprise some of the floe old indigenous gardens, re-
specting which so much has been written. and which only re-
unite opening out to ensure their profitable extension. They are
at present producing the finest t a and tea seed in Assent—the
latter in sufficient quantity to enable the parchment to plant
out any extent of new laud without further cost ea this head.
The area at present under contrition is about 1,000 acres, of
which over No are in full bearing. The gardens ere surrounded
by lands, for which grants nave been obtained to Me extent of
10,000 acres, all of which is very superior and suitable for the
growth of Ma.
The Amen. Company's right to the whole of this property,
together with all buildings, plant, implement., tools, boats, and
live stock, will be handed over to the Northern Assam Tea
Company for the sum of £lOO.OOO, to be Data as follows

with all cultivation commenced during the current season, omit-
summing November 1, 1864, has oleo been contracted to be trans-
ferred to this Company, on payment of the sums actually dis-
bursed since that date.
No ootnnalmions or promotion money have been paid or
allowed.
In the allotment of sharee a preference will be given to share-
holders in the Northern AA's= Tea Company and the Assam
Company.
The A.lBllOl Company in IBM disposed of their outlytue estates
is the district of Cachet, for the purchase of which a Company
was formed in Calcutta. called "The Central Netter Compaoy,"
the shares of which Company are readily saleable at 25 per rent
premium. Thom of the Aram Company are at above 160 per
cent. premium.
The success of tea growing In Amato is now thoroughly este-
' blished. Indian tee. are rapidly Increasing in favour and value
owing to their great strength and pungency. Further it may be
stated, that the recent reduction of the duty ha. already caused
a considerable advance is prices here, and the supply is still
inadeqruite to the demand.
le Morena 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 Assam Company, In his
report on the property contracted for, says:
" The lands this part of the province are the finest for tea
cultivation la Meant The soil is not only the very best, but the
forests cattalo the most splendid timber, inexhaustible In extent,
which is not the cam is the southern division. It needs no fore-
eight to predict that the property the Company bolds la this part
off the country may be made within the neat ten years equal, if
not superior, to that which they will be in possession of at that
time in the southern division."
The following are also extracts from a report made to the direo-
tors of the Aram Company by their chief auperintendent in
January last when be visited the property :
" That the land le Ana rate, there is Tagus:Kim or doubt, but
to effect such an object (that is, work it to full advantage) it
must be divided Into • diattret fled, and the management given
to the person residlog on the spot
" I h.ve now got the Deputy Commissioner to accept three
applications near Tingrie, for protably an area of about 7.000
acres, including the land between /1 ie, Hoogrie Jams. sad
Kahan& along the banks of the e river; and this. with
what we have already secured in other quarters between the
Itching and the Tiogrla 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
portico of the Northern and [astern division.
• The present gardens, if worked up to their capabilities,
would yield 0000 =undo 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 estates have been frequently visited by the massaging
director of the Northern Amman Tea Company during the last
thirteen years. and as lately as March last. He fully confirms
the favourable views above expressed, and DM op'filon that with
comparatively small outlay the indigenous pi tote alone can be
worked up to an annual yield of 4,000 so 6.000 chests of tea.
Since the contract for the purchase has been concluded, the
Amass Company have received from their managing director In
India, and from a large shareholder in both companies now
visiting Area, valuations of the property greatly Is excise of
the price agreed to be paid.
On the above grounds, therefore, the acquisition of them
estates will render the Northern Assam Tea Company one of the
most influential and profitable in India.
No applications for New Issue Jt shares will be received after
