Financial
Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great
Associations recently established.
It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out
the •
public works contemplated in the concessions they ob-
tain
t. • They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera-
tru of contractors whose capital and position offer an un-
...el:liable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus
l'iieving the financial associations of that responsibility.
The constantly increasing scale on which public works of
all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved,
place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un-
less supported-by joint-stock enterprise.
This company has, therefore, been formed for the pur-
pose of undertaking the execution of great public works,
and arrangements have been entered into with well known
contractors, by which contracts to the amount of L 11,000,000
sterling will be turned over to the Company.
Among other contracts handed over to
the Company is
that for the construction of the European Central Railway,
which has been secured on favourable terms,
and will be
commenced forthwith.
The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi-
ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work
k
on terms highly advantageous to the Compan
py, hayment for
e retainin
a large interest in the Company by receiving
the transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited
thereon.
It is well known that many undertakings of great com-
mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want
of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to
ensure their completion. This Company, combining the in-
fluence of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co-
operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi-
ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence
on the part of governments, public bodies, and the great
financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex-
tensive business on favourable terms.
Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained
at the Offices of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli-
citors, and Bankers.
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will
be returned in full. Should a less numbf shares be
alotted tan are appld for, the depositser o
will be made
available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

SECRETARY (PRO 'mt.)
Arthur Dossor, Esq.

The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex-
tending the well-known iron ship-building establishment of
Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co., of 11 uIL The capabilities
of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom— they
occupy 11 acres of ground, with water
th waterfrontage to the
(river
Humber and river Hull, having a dep of
establishment
of 30
The present iron i.hip-building power of the
is equal to the construction of 20,00) tons per annum. at
which Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships Messrs ex-
ceeding 20,00) tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is
proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present y .rd,
and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company aye secured,
so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing
profitable demand or ships, and to erect rolling mills for the
manufacture of the iron required for ship ng, as well as
fbr all kinds of railway and engineer.ng works.
In addition to the engineering works. foundry, and shit)*
bnildicg yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of
the largest class. This is a highly vrofitable part cr.
has been
thebusi-
nese. The demand for the use of this patent slip
such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Samuel-
s,n and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some ,
years ago.
The situation of this establishment gives it special advan-
tag,es over others of a like character. The pri e of ship-build-
ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship-
building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district
of Yorkshire; coat is cheap, rails ays run into the works,
and cone ct them with all parts of England. Freights are
very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of
Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which
is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con-
ditions.
Two thousand workmen are now employed at the
works.
The present orders in hand for ships, env nes, generaldengineering work amount to above £300,C00, all at very remu-
nerative prices.
Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who
have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted
with this branch of manufacture, show that after making
large allowances-3 ) per cent. off the capabilities of the
works, the trade will, with the judicious management and
employment of the capital, rat urn a dividend of 20 per cent.
and upwards to these nareholders, and if the works continue
to be fully employ, a much larger amount.
Tho te ms of r urchase are highly advantageous ; the plant
and machinery, buildings, freehold and I easehold premises,
together with al the stock of materials, are to b: taken at
the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company
and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual
way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit
on works in hand, is to be paid for at one year's pur-
chase of the net profits, but on an average of three years'
working.
In the event of no allotment being made. the deposits will
be returned in fu I. Should a less number of Blares be al otted
than is app lied for. the deposit will be made available towards
the paym nt on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned
