This Company is established with the object of working
coals in the Valley of the Damoodah, in Bengal, and of sup-
plying the great and rapidly increasing demand in India for
that article.
The profitable nature of such an undertaking has been
placed beyond, all doubt by the fact of an asso ;laden -ante
BENGAL COAL COMPANY—working in the immediate proposal
locality, having for some years past paid its Shareholders
dividends varying from twelve to sixteen per cent. TAB EAST
INDIA Coati COMPANY will have the advantage of commencing
its operations, with the. means of transporting its Coal to
market, by rail, in six hours-- a benefit of vast importance,
when it is remembered that until within the last.few months
the only mode of transit has been of the most tedious,
dangerous, and expensive character ; combining land and
water carriage—the former by carts, and the latter on a tor-
rent navigable for a very brief period of the year.
Tho Collieries and lands secured by the Directors aro ex-
tensive and valuable : they consist of five distinct Mines,
together with buildings, plant, ire., cite., alid comprise an
area of. upwards of five hundred acres. The seams vary from
eight to sixteen feet in thickness, and contain an inexhaust-
ible supply of Coal.- Toposi and Konoostoria, the two prin-
cipal mines, are immediately adjoining, and situated within
three miles of the East India Railway Company's Ternifetts
at Ranegunge and 120 miles (by rail). from Calcutta. They
have been worked on a smad scale for the last five years,
supplying for two or three years the India General Steam
Navigation Company with all the fuel for its steamers. Five
Shafts haVe been sunk at depths varying from 35 to 60 feet.
Samples taken from these Mines have been submitted to com-
t,kt,,,Ciy Coal.

valuable with reference to the sup-brier quality-of the caeca,
and its capability for Coking purposes. The terms upon
which these Mines have been purchased are highly favourable
to Shareholders. Not only is the price extremely moderate,
with reference to previous sales of similar property, but the
seller 'has consented to receive the whole amount in Shares
of the Company.
A' chart of the Mines, samples of the Coal, and a full report
from competent parties in India as to the workings and ex--
tent of the property, are in, possession of the Directors, and
May be inspected at this office. For the information of those
unable to avail themselves Of this privilege, a few brief re-
marks are here submitted.—Owing to the cheapness of labour
in India, a ton of Coal can be raised ,and deposited at the
pit's mouth for a sum equal to one shilling and twopence.
The present charge for conveyance, by rail, to Calcutta, is
teilieevr(enfershe,ililiiintiata
shillings
"Calcutta willsixpence per ton ; the cost of the Coal,
twelve shillings and eightpence
per ton ;- or, adding one shilling and fourpence for sundry
charges, fourteen shillings. The price of Coal in Calcutta
has never been less, for many years, than twenty-one shillings
per ton; and the profit consequently will be the difference,
or seven shillings per ton. The quantity of Coal raised would
not be less than three hundred tons per diem, leaving a profit
of 1051. per day, or, in round numbers, 31,5001. per annum,.
calculating only 300 working-days in the year. Supposing
the whole, amount of capital to-be called for, still a dividend
of at least 20 per, cent. may be constantly anticipated.
With the skill and means 11077 available a very superior
quality Of Coal will be raised to any hitherto brought to
market in India. The manufacture of Patent Fael upon the
plan found to answer so well here, and, the preparation of
Coke for the use of the Indian Railways, , &c, will engage
the attention of this Company.
The deep interest which the Government of India, the va
riot's Indian Railway Companies, the Inland Steam Naviga-
tion Companies, the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Conipany,
and the Oriental Gas Company must naturally have in the
success of this Scheme, promises to the Proprietors an
amount of support not usually Commanded by Public Com-
panies. .
It is proposed to manage the affairs of the Company in the
manner adoptedby the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Com-
pany, and the various Indian Railway Companies-- that is,
by a board of direction in London, and an .agency and su-
perintendents in India.
The operations of the Company will be immediate.
• Application for shares, in the following form, will be re-
ceived by the Secretary and the Brokers of the-company :-

" Limited."

ing the preliminary expenses.
