OBJECTS OF THE COMPANY.
The object of this Company is to establish Works for the
purpose of Manufacturing, with improved Machinery, which
has been secured byPatent, various descriptions of Woollen
Fabrics, by the process of Felting, whereby the cumbrous
and expensive Machinery used in Spinning and Weaving
is dispensed with, and a saving of time and material effected
of not leas than 30 per cent.
In addition to the production of carpets and the various
descriptions of Felted Goods now in general demand, it is
intended by this Company to apply this process to a higher
class of goods than has hitherto been done in this country.
The adoption of Meltons, or undressed Cloth, as an article
of wear by the public, opens a large field for this branch,
as also blankets, Army Cloth, &c., though the promoters
see no limit to its operation. as it is capable of the manu-
facture of Cloth of the finest quality. The objection to the
old Felted Productions is entirely removed by the Patent
Process to be adopted.
RESULTS OF THE WORKING OF THE SYSTEM.
The principle of felting has been in operation to a con-
siderable extent, and worked with great success. The Felt
Company of Leeds, whose Patents are now expired, have
carried on this process with a prosperity notorious in that
seat of the woollen manufacture. In France and Germany
this mode has long been worked out with similar results.
In America (whence we have derived so many improve-
ments) this principle has been fully developed.
DESCRIPTION OP THE PROPERTY.
The Directors have secured a spacious and newly-con-
structed Mill, worth six acres of land, known as " Stever-
ton Mill," in the midst of the Woollen Manufactories of
Bradford-on-Avon and Trowbridge, in every respect espe-
cially eligible for the undertakingehaving the great advantage
of water-power in addition to first class steam engines fitted
with all the latest improvements—whereby a very large per-
centage of fuel is saved, and which can be at work imme-
diately. On the estate are also gas works, cottages,
manager's dwelling, stables, and various other buildings,
forming one of the most complete properties of the kind in
England. This freehold, together with a valuable patent,
founded on the improvements made in America, combined
with those resulting from many years' experience in this
country, has been purchased on advantageous terms, to be
paid partly in cash and partly in shares, which shares will
not participate in any profit until a dividend of 10 per cent.
ie paid on the ordinary shares.
SPECIALI'ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY.
The advantages posesessed by this Company are im-
proved patented machinery, auxiliary water-power,
and a saving of at least 25 per cent. in the unskilled
portion of labour as compared with the North, which
justify the Directors in entertaining the most sanguine
expectations as to the probable nature of the enterprise, and
in which they are strengthened by the favourable opinion
expressed by the eminent firms who have signed the attes-
tation at foot. The Directors, therefore, recommend this
undertaking with the greatest confidence, as a safe and
legitimate investment in one of the great staple manufac-
tures of this country, forming a favourable contrast to many
of the speculations now offered to the public,
ESTIMATED PROFITS.
The whole operation has been under a patient and labo-
rious investigation by some of the most eminent Manufac-
turers of this Kingdom, and the result shows, after making
the most ample hllowance for every exigency, a profit of
25 per cent. per annum on the Capital proposed to be raised;
and this on a calculation based on the lowest quality of
goods, on which there would be, of course, less profit than
on the higher classes to which it is applicable.
DEMAND.
The steady increase for several years past for the various
articles manufactured by the Felting process, assures the
Directors as to the demand for many descriptions of Woollen
Goods both for home and foreign consumption, which the
high price of cotton is rapidly augmenting.
MANAGER AT THE WORKS.
The Directors being fully alive to the importance of
having a thoroughly practical manager at the works,
have made a preliminary engagement with one who
has devoted many years to the manufacture of felted fabrics ;
and who has been very successful in the introduction of im-
provements in machinery in this increasing branch of manu-
facture ; and they will not allot any shares until such an
amount of capital be applied for as in their opinion will be
adequate to enable them to commence on a scale that will
produce a satisfactory dividend. Some of the Directors,
who are practically acquainted with the process, have
visited the works, obtained most reliable information, and
anticipate being large customers for the articles proposed
to be produced.

Accorrirs.
Tho Directors, in order to insure correctness and regu-
larity in the Factory accounts, have entered into a prelimi-
nary arrangement for tho appointment of a local auditor,
whose duty will be to visit the works every fortnight.
SUMMARY OF PATENT.
The advantages contemplated to be derived from the
Patents may be briefly stated to be threefold :-
Ist. A mode of feeding the carder is employed which, in-
stead of delivering the fibres of the woel longitudinally, in-
terweaves and intercrosses them from side to side, so that the
fibres of wool are interlaced with each other in such a man-
ner, that when the Felting process is applied, the material
becomes equally strong in every direction.
2d, A fiat hardener, by which the tension of the fibres of
the wool is avoided, and is peculiarly adapted to fine cloth.
3d, The finishing er hardening rollers through which the
cloth is lastly passed, somewhat similar to those of a paper
machine, and by which a firmness is obtained which has yet
never been acquired by felted goods, the want of which has
rendered the present make of felted carpets objectionable as
wearing woolly. By this new process the hardness and
firmness of loather can be obtained, if needful.

The Articles of Association can be inspected at the offices
of the Company.
Applications for Shares must be made to the Offices of
the Company. A preference in the allotment will be given
according to priority of application.

"To the Directors of the West of England Woollen

Company.
"Gentlemen,—Having carefully surveyed the Staverton
Mills,' near Bradford on-Avon, agreed to be purchased by
' The West of England Woollen Manufacturing Company
(Limited), I am of opinion that it is an exceedingly
eligible and well-arranged property, possessing an area of
buildings, together with steam and water-power, fully ade-
quate to a very large production of manufactured goods,
and at the same time capable of great extension if ever
needed. It is very we►l situated, is in good repair, and
quite worth the amount at which it is to be purchased.

the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to Injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

PROSPECTUS.
Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger
traffic which exists between this country, America, the West
Indies, and Canada passes.
It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommoda-
tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary ; and to
supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built
within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted
no on the model of the great American and Continental
Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury
which modern taste can suggest.
The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal
railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It
contains about 200 rooms, tarnished in the best style.
Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of
storing about 3,00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice
wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the
whole town.
The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the
Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade,
furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in
tee purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the
Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital
will be realised.

It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be
the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other
existing-hotels in London, Manchester, and other large towns
in the United Kingdom, and also in America.
As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large
returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and
acquiring a business, will be avoided.
The Company will take Immediate possession of the pre-
mi,es, and enter at once upon the business, consequently re-
turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that
they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate
large dividends for the shareholders.
'I here will be no promotion money, and the preliminary
expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred.
If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi.l
be returned in full ; and if a less number of shares be allotted
than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wi,l be cre-
dited towards the payment on a,lotment.
Plans of the prooertymay be seen at the Offices of the Com-
pany, and also at the Brokers, where Prospectuses and Forms
of Application for Shares may be had.
