PROSPECTUS.
This Company is now erecting a first-class family Hotel,
upon the extensive freehold grounds of more than an acre in
extent formerly belonging to Clarence-house, the purchase
of which has recently been completed by the Directors.
The grounds occupy a commanding area in the centre of the
Marine-parade, facing she sea, and having the noble Ca tle
and extensive for. ifications in picturesque contiguity.
From the existing want of hotel accommodation of a resi-
dential character in the fashionable part of Dover It is reason-
able to suppose that the Clarence Hotel will be filled with
visitors throughout the year, and the Directors are confident
that it will pay very large dividends to the shareholders.
The Company's architect, Mr. Whichcord, has been success-
ful in producing plans for the buildings proposed to be erected.
which so thoroughly combine architectural symmetry and
ample accommodation with extreme simplicity of construc-
tion as to have afforded the Directors the highest satisfaction
in adopting th-
The erection of this Hotel has been undertaken by Mr.
Lewis Glenton, with whom the Directors have concluded a
very favourable contract for the purpose. Mr. Glenton's
position as a contractor for large works, and notably as the
constructor of the Grand Hotel at Brighton, now rapidly ap-
proaching completion, affords a most complete guarantee for
excellence of workmanship and punctua ity in completion,
and the Directors esteem themselves fortunate in having
effected an arrangement so calculated to serve the Company's
interests.
The first stone of the Hotel was laid at the close of the past
year ay the Chairman of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Comnany, and the works are now in full progress.
A considerable portion of she Company's capi, al has been
already subscribed, and the remaining shares are now offered
to the public. to whom, as a sound investment, the undertak-
ing is cordially commended.
Interest at the rate of £5 per cent. per annum will be
allowed upon all calls previous to the opening of the Hotel.
The elevation and ground-plan of the Hotel, together with
the Article • of Assoc ation, may be seen at the Company's
offices, 36. Cannon-street, E.C.
Fcrms for application for shares may be also obtained at
the offices of the Company,

This Company has been formed for the purpose of making
and maintaining telegraphic lines of commication, both
submarine and on land, in every part of the wunorld.
The facility of intercourse which telegraphic communi-
cation now, in such extensive operation, has afforded to the
public in its varied communities—Political, Commercial,
and Social—has rendered that which was, but a few years
ago, regarded merely as a scientific experiment, absolutely
necessary for the purposes of cur social system, and a
highly remunerative investment. It has been found that,
as in the case of railways (although to a much greater ex-
tent), telegraphic cables have uniformly developed a con-
stantly increasing traffic, with this remarkable and special
feature, that the more distant the points brought into con-
nexion, the greater the proportion of business done.
Experience has proved that increasing receipt the
s from
working of submarine cables bring with them only a
trifling proportionate increase in the amount of working

expenses.
Messrs. Glass,Elliot, and Company
and the Gutta Percha
Company have hitherto together had the principal share in
the manufacture of submarine telegraphic cables.
The former firm, who have undertaken the manufacture,
laying down, and maintenance of the cables, have hitherto
obtained the inner cores of the cables from the Gutta
Percha Company, which has, in this branch of its trade,
confined itself entirely to the production of that part of the

cable.
Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company have, during the last
ten years, manufactured and laid down in different parts
of the world no less than 6,500 miles of Submarine Tele-
graph Cable, whilst the Gutta Perchu. Company have, dur-
ing a like period. manufactured upwards of 9,000 miles of
insulated wires for Submarine Telegraph Cables now in

work.
It has been ascertained that the manufacture of entire
cables could be more securely and beneficially carried on
by uniting in one establishment the manufacture of the
outer cabl and wires, and the execution of the portion of
the work heretoforeseparately executed bytheGutta Percha
Company,and with this view contracts have been entered into
for the purchase of the entire machinery, premises, plant,
patent, stock, goodwill, sc., of the GuttaPercha Company,
by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company ; and that firm have
agreed to transfer to this Company, at the cost price to
them, the work so acquired. A contract has also been con-
cluded with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company, for
acquisition, by this Company, of their manufactory,
premises, patents, stock, and business the consideration
being paid, to the extent of £lOO,OOO, in fully paid up
Shares of the Company. Under these combined arrange-
ments the Company will enter into possession of the amal-
gamated business and be entitled to their profits as from the
Ist of January last.
The Company's business will be conducted under the
personal superintendence of Mr. Barclay and Mr. Glass, as
managing directors, assisted by the efficient staff of the
united Compenies.
The agreement with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Company
provides for the assignment, with the consent of the Trea-
sury, to the Company of the lease held by that firm of the
Submarine Telegraph between Malta and Alexandria. The
Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez Telegraph, held by Messrs.
Glass, Elliot, and Company under agreement with the
Telegraph to India Company is also comprised in the
arrangement.
The large profits which have hitherto been realised by
both of the above firms, and the prospect vihich exists ot
considerable extension of the business, justify the expect a.
tion of a large return to the Shareholders, indepedently of
the profits arising from the working of the telegrnaph lines
above referred to.
Copies of the above contracts, together with the Articlee
s
of Association of the Company, may be inspected at th
Solicitors' Offices.
Applications for Shares must be made in the annexed
form ; but no application will be considered unless the de-
posit of £1 per share has been prey iously paid to the Bankers
of the Company. This deposit will be returned if no allot-
ment is made to the applicant, and if an allotment is made,
it will be applied towards the payment then due.
An option will be given to the Subscribers of taking one-
fourth of the Shares allotted as fully paid up Shares.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Brokers.
