PROSPECT US.

The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the
'well-known and sucecest ul business carried on by the Thames
iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black-

Wan

The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company
(Limited), was established in the year :857, and has now
attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels
of war and ships of the highest class for the commercial
marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour
plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg-
ings and castings of the largest class for marine engines,
bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam
hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, &c., are all of
the best class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming
together an establishment unequalled.
Three of the largest iron-clad
—the Warrior, Valiant, and aiitigates in the British navy
notaur -have been built by
the Thames Ship-buildin-
g Company, and orders have been
received ^:„ for iron-cl
Spanish, and Turl-. vessels for the Danish, Russian,
tsh navies, some of which are now in course
of constructio-_,.
It has. b'
--en determined to add to the existing business of
the on'.o Any two other lucrative branches, namely, Graving
Dock °I. and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially
F9r..nected with its present operations. For this purpose, as
Drell as for the large and increasing business of the Com-
pany, a considerable extension of capital will be required as
'the works advance ; and in order to carry out the objects in
'view, it is proposed to transfer to the new Company (subject
to payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of
the valuable contracts, rose's, goodwill, and effects of the
Thames Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities
and engagements, as from the Ist of January, 1804, in consi-
deration 3f the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company
of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that
Company will take £150,000 in fully paid-up Shares, and
£125,000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest
at 5 per cent. per annum.
The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of
freehold land on the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black-
well, and the premises and branch works known as the
Phcenix Iron Works, Millwall, together with the valuable
plant and works.
It is proposed to construct two graving docks capablr of re-
ceiving, ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda-
tion on the River Thames is at present insufficient. For this
purpose it is intended to virchase eight acres of heel° d
land immediately adjoining the works, hdving a frontage both
to Bow Creek and tt e River Thames, which 1 nd is, at pre-
sent, in the occui ation of the Company, with the option of
purchase.
The pro posad new graving doers will be in the immediate
'vicinity of the E at and West India and Victoria Docks ; and
lit is confidently anticipated that from their admirable situa-
tion constant and 'remunerative employmeat for repairs,
both of ships and engines, wi 1 be found.
The existing contracts of the Thames Iron Works Com-
pany, which will be transferred to the newComp,ny,,amount
to upwards of a million and quat ter sterling :indel,eadently
of the work in hand for the forge and rolling mill'), and have
all been taken on such terms as fairy to justify the anticipa-
tion of the same t rofitab!e results which have already at-
tended the Cor• pany's operations.
All the Directors of the old Company will retain their in-
terest in the ne w Company, anti their seats at its Board, and
the management wi 1 remain in the same experienced hsnds
which have hitherto conducted it so successfuliy, and raised
it to its present state of prosperity.

INVENTION in
TEETH,-Mr. ESK ELL'S
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 month without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so Liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
tise explaining Mr. Eskeil's Patent, &c., free for 7 stamps.
