The object of establishing this (7ompany, is to complete the ma-
chinery and furnish sufficient capital to carry on the manufacture
upon the pti iciplets of a patent, and on an extensive scale; he
plan and calculations are open to the inspection of subscribers,
and will satisfactorily prove the power of commanding tht home
and foreign nuke:a at all times.
It is intended to subject the concerns of the Company in the
fullest msrmer to the proprietors, at the annual meetings to be pro•
vided for by the Deed of Settlement.
Such an immense saving of labour. joined to a judicious selec-
tion on so large a scale of the raw material for cash payments, will
enable those improvementa tc be accomplished at a much cheaper
roe than the present inferior articles, and secure to the sub-
allibers a regular and an unpreeedentedly large half-yearly di.
widen&

Extensive premises am! grounds. in a most desirable situation,
en the Banks of the Thames, ct .Battersea, which are particularly
adapted fur preparing the wool, spir.ning, dying, and erecting from
one hundred to one thousand looms, are secured on very advan-
fageons terms from an eminent engineer, who had the whole lately
erected, under his immediate inspection, of the best materials, and
nn the most approved glen. They consist of the factory, dye-
house, dwelling-house, thirty-nine cottages, stabling, commodious
workshop, and foundry for manufacturing the looms and all re.
quisite machinery, =minuted with live acres of bleaching-grounds,
and enclosed by a lofty brick at an entire cost of 23,000 i., of
which the tenure is a lease renewable on lives for ever, at a small
fixed floe.

Every thing is in m forward a rate, that' carpets will be pro-
ducal la less tban three moods, and make as at a change in the
manufacture of that utile as has been introduced into those of
rattans, muslin., &e. &e. from which such immense fortunes have
resulted to the Patentees.
Pre-eminently fertile angelfish genius and capital have been, in
advancing the Arts and &knees, it is the more surprising that so
prominent a source of ornament and commercial enterprise, as the
beautiful and useful art of Carpet Weaving, should have remained
almost stationary tar the last century.
The public are therefore informed, that by a new and superior
mode of preparing the Wool, Spinning and Dyeing the Yarn, and
Weaving it, the threads will be stronger, the colours more brilliant
and lasting, and the general texture of the %%'eb more even and
firm, enabling the finest specimens of Turkish and Persian Carpet.
ing to be equalled, End the choicest antique and modern patterns
delineated with truth and splendour.
It is computed that 300 Looms, employed cn the principle of the
London Carpet Company, will perform as much work as 1500 on the
aid system, thereby affording the means of remedying the difficulty
•If' supplying a sufticient quantity of each pattern, so much and
• sly complained of, aim ennsiderably increase the trade of this ar-
:icle, by being eambled to execute foreign orders with greater de-
',pooch than any other Factory, and regular sale for all that can be
i
ninufactuted, s arranged for.
The Capital to be divided into 4000 Shares of 301. each, upon
..vhieb a Deposit of 2/. is to be immediately paid, and the.remaioder
by calla not exceeding 5.% per Share at any one time, of which one
month's notice is to be giver,•biut no further call will be required
until the Committee of Management are enabled to lay a full state-
ment of progress before the Subscribers, and which will be the less
frequent from the prompt pay of the Trade, enabling the Capital
!a be turned at least thrice a year, which will also proportionately
increase the return to the Subscribers. The whole of the Shares
will be distributed to the public, except WOO that are given in part
payment for the premises, which cannot be disposed of.
That this Company may be conducted in the most efficient and
economical way, it is managed by a Committee of five practical
men of business, who will spare neither time or trouble, and which
is Is many names as can be inserted in Patents. The extension
into a more numerous Board of Directors can be decided on at the
lint General Meeting. The qualification for each of the Committee
is holding twenty Shares.

Applications for Shares to be made to Messrs. Fisher and Spen-
CPN Solicitors. Walbrook.buiklings ; Sir Walter Stirling, Bart.,
stifling, and Hodson, Bankers, Strand; Messrs. 'Williams, Wit-
haulm. -Burgess, and H'illiams, Bankers, Birehin-lane ; and to the
Secretary, No. 1, Lancaster-place, Waterloo Bridge.
N.B. In order to avoid the necessity of making a second call im-
mediately, it is considered proper to increase the deposit from IL to
2/., and all notifications previous to this alteration may be with.
drawn on or before Thursday next, the 7th instant, and farther ten-
' den for Shams will be received as above until itat day.
