T'e object of this ASS"Cia+lOll is to carry out certain very
desirable improvements in the structure of theltres and their
infernal e:mnomv. The new theatres lately erected in Pa-is
at the expense of the Fren h Government have proved suc-
cessful. not only as architectural ornaments to that metropo-
lis, but have attracted ponul sr patronage from the older and
inconven ent places of' amusement. It is proposed to aecorn-
nlish in London by private ente prise that which in France
has been done by Government subsidy,
This Company has purchased a long leasehold in the Hay-
market, whereon a theatre wi I be erected, embracing all the
advantages and improvements to which the people of London
are entitled ; including wide entra• ces, roomy seats, unob-
structed passages, and good ventilation. By adopting a more
simple plan of construction, not only is the cost of tho build-
ing diminished, but the cost of management and maintenance
is mqerially reduced. Contracts for the performance of all
the work are before the Directors, and the amount is safely
within the limits of the capital. A freehold of equally ample
dimensions, and 'n the immediate neighbourhood, cart be
obtained, and the Proctors reserve the right to prefer that
site, if in the interest of the Company it shall seem to them
advisab e.
This Company has also acquired the long leasehold of
nearly an acre of land on the corner of Westminster-bedge,
with frontage on the bridge, in the Westminster-bridge-road,
and also on the river, facing the Houses of Parliament ; in-
cluding the West vinster Theatre, its whole stock of scenery,
wardrobe, propet•ty and machinery. On a portion of this
ground will be erected, among other ,uilding.s, a large paint-
ino--room, machinery works, and pro?erty manufactory, to
serve b th theatres.
The Directors have received an offer from Mr. Boucicanit
to lease the whole at a rent bleb will pay the ,harcholders
10 per cent. on the capital subscribed ; or to manage the en-
terprise on theirb-half. receiving for h s services one-third of
the net profits, after all outgoings have been paid. The
Directors have resolved to accept the latter form of the offer,
having sat'sfi d themselves that during the erection of the
proposed new the •tre the Westminster Theafre alone will
pay the sh •reholders 10 per rent. on their subscriptions. The
dividend will commence from the date of allotment. and it is
proposed shall be payable qnarterly. When the buildings
are completed, N., hich will probably occupy abut four nths,
a dividend of more than double that amoi.ut omo
may be reason-
ably anticipated.
The satishctory features of this enterprise are these :—lt
is ba, ed on valuable and substantial prorerty, which, in its
pr. sent unimproved state is rented for £4,10a a year ; a value
which. if the property is left undisturbed, will be greatly en-
hanced by the nevv outhern embankment, whtch comes on
its principal fronfage. And secondly, from the int,ment of
th,, formation the Company comes into the posses sion of a
part of the proje3t in full operation earning a die dend,

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,

way Terminus, at Ring's-cross.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BU( CLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of eovernors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to sdmit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
