OFFICES, PRO TEM.

No. 27, Great George-a reet, weatminater, and 7, Laurence
Pountney-hill, City.

The Company Is formed forhtehetoftiacae
effect an agreement made for t purchase_s carrying
grrn
en-
results by private
tioned coal, iron, and other Work which have fora long
time been carried on with very satisfactory re
individuals, and are capable of considerable expansion, with
greatly increased profits.
The Properties and Works have been purchased on very
favourable terms, on valuations made by eminent mining
ene ineers.
The Works consist of
11. The Ebbw Vale Collieries and Iron Works.
2. The Sirhowy Collieries and Iron Works.
3. The Vict, ria Collieries and Iron Works.
4. The Abersychan Collieries and Iron Works.
5. The Pontypool Collieries and Iron and Tin-plate
Worts.
6. The Abercarn Collieries and the Chapel Farm Estate.
7. Wharves and Landing Stages at Newport.
All in the county of lifonmou h.
8. Bramante Iron and Coal Galeages sr Royalties in the
Forest of Dean. in the county of Gloucester
9. The Brendon Hills Carbonate of Iron or Spathose
Mines, in the county of Somerset.
And the Estates comprise :-
3,254 acres of Fre • hold Land and Mines.
7,215 acres of Leasehold Mines, and agrk ements for leases
having upwards of 8) years unexpired.
2,137 acres of Leasehold Mines, having from 10 to 50 years
unexpired.
700 acres of Mines in the Forest of Dean, held under a
Crown lease, renewable in perpetuity for perio is of 21 years.
About 9 miles in length, or about 3,' 00 acres. on the course
of the Spathose iron ore veins, in Somersetsh re, under leases
for about 50 years unexpired.
The leaseho d coal and iron-stone royalties are held on
very moderate
aremader pwautetearrm
dss'of 2,003 houses and cottages on the free-
hold and leasehold estates.
The rentals from land, farms, and houses, amount to about
£14,000 -year.
The works afford employment to more than 15,000 persons,
repre,enting a population of 50,000 people.
schools fur the a3commodation of 2,200 children, and a Me-
chanics' Institute have been erected upon the estates.
There are 23 bias; -furnaces, of which 16 are in operation at
the present time—three being cold blast.
The present annual preduv of the various opl' ieries is
850,000 tons of coal ; and this quantity can, with a compara-
tively small outlay, be increased to 1i mil ion tons annually.
The produce or iron-stone is 280,003 tons annually, which can
be increased to 450,000 tons.
The iron-making coals on these properties are of a superior
quality, free from sulphur, and eminently adapted for the
manufacture of the best class of iron or steel.
The present annual yield from the furnaces is about 130,000
tons of pig iron, including 12,000 tons of P, ntypool cold blast,
but the arrangements are adapted for the production of
180.0)0 tons. About 00,000 tons of r .ils and finished iron are
sold annually, which can be increased to 120,000 tons with the
present applianc s.
All the properties are very favourably placed in to
situation of works and facilities of Iransport. Theregard cal and
iron-stone mines, which arc now drained and proved, will
crease of
present consumption, without aterial in-
crease of dead charges or outlay of capital, forupwards of 50
years ; and with a small outlay will yield a further supply of
(00,000 to s of coal per annum, for household and team pur-
poses, for a like period.
The haematite iron ore and coal properties held in the
Forest of Dean will shortly be opened, and placed in
direct communication by railway with the various iron•
works, the distances between which and the place of pro-
duction will be from 2 to 42 miles only, whilst this class of
ore is now carried to the works 3.0 miles by water and 30
miles by rail.
The Forest of Dean ore contains from 3: to 42 per cent.
of iron, and is well known for its superior quality over other
haematite ores for the manufacture of the best iron and
steel. It is estimated that, when ful.y opened, the mines now
held by the Company will produce 100,000 tons annually for
50 years.
The very extensive and valuable mines of spathose iron
ore, in Somersetshire, belon4ing exclusively to the Company,
are the only mines of their kind now being worked in iirt at
Britain, excep' ing the small veins found in the Durham lead
mines. When these mines are fully developed the works of
the Company will possess a Ivantages greater than any other
works in the supply of this most valuable materia for the
manufacture of the best quality of iron and steel. And the
cost of producing spiegeleisn (pig iron with this ore will
not exceed half the present cost of' spiegeleisn delis, red
in England from Germany, which country furnishes near :y
the whole of the supply required for the present consump-
tion.

The Directors have agreed for a licence for the manufac-
ture of steel by the Bessemer process, which, from the pecu-
liar resources they possess. they will be enabled to pro-ince
in v ry large quantities, and at a price that in comparison
with other works, ill insure to them the same advantages
in the manufacture of steel rails as the Ebbw Vale Company
have so long enjoyed in respect of iron rails.
The stocks of material and finished iron will be taken at
the cost price, as entered in the books at the ast stock-
taking in September, 1863, and are to be paid for within six
months.

The contracts on hand, which are large, and at remunera-
tive prices, wilt be transferred to the new Company.
Mr. Abraham Darby, the principal proprietor and manag-
ing partner of the whole or the concerns comprised in the
present purchase, will undertake the duties of Chairman of
the Board, and has consented to act as Managing iiirector for
a period of five years, thereby securing to the new Company
the benefit of his long practical experience in the manage-
ment of the works.
Mr. Joseph Robinson, also a proprietor in all the above
concerns, and who for many years, as the London partner,
has had the nrincip..l management of their commercial ope-
rations, will, under the direction of the Board, conduct the
business of the Company as heretofore,
From certified reports on the profits of the various works,
extending over a considerable period, and from a due con-
sideration of the advantages possessed by the Company,
the Directors feel justified in anticioating that the annual
dividends will be such as to give satisfaction to the Share-
holders.
The Vendors will subscribe for Shares in the Company to
the extent of half a million sterlinz.
eiThree hundred thousand pounds of the purchase-money
ll be paid within two months, and the remainder by six
