Capital 2,000,000/. in 10,000 Stamrs of 2001. each.
When human ingenuity has hem daily exercised in forming
plans for'public attention, it has been matter of surprise that the
great staple article of Cotton Wool should have been overlooked,
the weekly consumption of which is estimated at 12,000 bags, equal
to about 200,000/. sterling.
Large and extended as this quantity is, yet the merchants and ,
manufacturers in the trade are decidedly of opinion that, prospec-
tively viewed, it is merely in its infancy. These points, combined
with the overwhelming riches which have rolled in the treasuries of
those occupied in this branch of commerce. are substantial grounds
for inviting the attention of capitalists, annuitants. &c. to participate
in an Establishment, which, from every calculation, must yield a
most satisfactory profit.
The distinguished patronage with which many of the great landed
proprietors of Ireland, and the solicitude his Nlajesty's Govern.
meet have shown to encourage the i ement of that counvyy.
have fixed the attention of the dQik Coospeny: The
result of their inquiries has satisfied shtitst that the cheapness of
fuel, the low price of land, provides", and the rggpced price of
labour, must create a saving of great magnitude, as compared with
Glasgow and Manchester.
Every one is acquainted with the fact that the very celebrated
Establishment of 'sew Lanark had its origin in the high rate of
provisions and wages in Lancashire; that it was formed by a Com-
pany, and that it has flourished in a degree even beyond the most
sanguine expectations of its projectors.
Ireland presents greater advantages, inasmuch as site possesses
good ports and a redundant population, whereas New Lanark was
most expensively colonized.
On these grounds Ireland has been selected, and the operations
of the Company will be carried on in a part of it ascertained to
be the most favourable in both a manufacturing and commercial
point of view.
A List of the Directors will shortly appear, comprising a portion
of respectable names connected with the Sister Kingdom.
Application for Shares, addressed " To the Cotton Importing
and Manufacturing Company," will be received by Messrs. Mar-
tin. Stone, and Martin, Bankers; or Mr. Charles Kaye, Dyer's.
