This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out
concessions for making and working Tramways in the xing-
dom of Holland and adjacent stabs, A concession tor a
dauble Tramway from the Hague to Scheveninrue (the
Brighton of Holland) has already been obtained on favour-
able terms, and a contract has been concluded with respon-
sible English contractors, by which they undertake to pur-
chase the land, to make the lines, and provide all the rolling
stock, horses, AE.c., for the sum of £lO,OOO. The remaining
£lO,OOO will be required for a working c,:pital.
The works are in active progress, and will be completed
and brought into operation in the course of the month of May
next.

The line will commence in the principal square in the town
of the Hague, and follow she ordinary route to Scheveningue
returning by another route, via, the Canal and Zoological
Gardens, to the same station, being a total length of about
seven English miles.
Scheveningue, the only marine suburb in Holland, Is re-
sorted to by large numbers of visitors, chiefly from Amster-
dam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and other towns.
From minute information furnished by the town authori-
ties, the number of vehicles employed in this traffic has been
ascertained to make Ilo.ouo journeys a year, each conveying
on an average six persons, and the total numb ,r of visitors
now entering Scheveningue in carriages and on foot amounts
to about 4,, 00,0 0 a year; of these it may fairly be estimated
that one-fourth will travel by the Tramway. In addition
thereto, about 20,000 ions of fish, merchandise, and provisions
are carried annually between the Hague and Scheveningue,
ot which it is assumed that one-halt at least will be carried
by the Tramway. From existing sources of traffic an annual
income of at least £20,00 may safely be calculated upon.
From carefully prepared estimates of the cost of horse
keen. wage's, repairs, and every contingency, the general re-
sult is that a net cliv.dend ot not less than 15 per cent. on the
proposed capital may fairly he relied upon.
A large number of shares has already b en subscribed for
in Holland, which furnishes a proof of the high estimation
in which this undertak ng,, is held by the Dutch people. Ap-
plications for the remaining shares may be made to the
Brokers, or to he Secretary, at the Offices, 10, Cannon-street,
but no application will be considered unless accumpanied by
a deposit of £1 per share ; should no allotment be made to
the applicant, this sum will be returned in full.
