ESTIMATED PROFITS.

The whole operation has been under a patient and labo-
rious investigation by some of the most eminent Manufac-
turers of this Kingdom, and the result shows, after making
the most ample allowance for every exigency, a profit of
25 per cent. per annum on the Capital proposed to be raised;
and this on a calculation based on the lowest quality of
goods, on which there would be, of course, less profit than
on the higher classes to which it is applicable.
DEMAND.
. _ _

The steady increase for several years past for the various
articles manufactured by the Felting process, assures the
Directors as to the demand for many descriptions of Woollen
Goods both for home and foreign consumption, which the
high price of cotton is rapidly augmenting.
MANAGER AT THE WORKS.

The Directors being fully alive to the importance of
having a thoroughly practical manager at the works,
have made a preliminary engagement with one who
has devoted many years to the manufacture of felted fabrics;
and who has been very successful in the introduction of im-
provements in machinery in this increasing branch of manu-
facture ; and they will not allot any shares until such an
amount of capital be applied for as in their opinion will be
adequate to enable them to commence on a scale that will
produce a satisfactory dividend. Some of the Directors,
who are practically acquainted with the process, have
visited the works, obtained most reliable information, and
anticipate being large customers for the articles proposed
to be produced.

ACCOUNTS.
The Directors, in order to insure correctness and regu-
larity in the Factory accounts, have entered into a prelimi-
nary arrangement for tho appointment of a local auditor,
whose duty will be to visit the works every fortnight.
SUMMARY OF PATENT.
The advantages contemplated to be derived from the
Patents may be briefly stated to be threefold :-
Ist. A mode of feeding the carder is employed which, in-
stead of delivering the fibres of the wool longitudinally, in-
terweaves and intercrosses them from side to side, so that the
fibres of wool are interlaced with each other in such a man-
ner, that when the Felting process is applied, tho material
becomes equally strong in every direction.
2d, A flat hardener, by which the tension of the fibres of
the wool is avoided, and is peculiarly adapted to fine cloth.
3d, The finishing or hardening rollers through which the
cloth is lastly passed, somewhat similar to those of a paper
machine, and by which a firmness is obtained which has yet
never been acquired by felted goods, the want of which has
rendered the present make of felted carpets objectionable as
wearing woolly. By this new process the hardness and
firmness of leather can be obtained, if needful.

The Articles of Association can be inspected at the offices
of the Company. .
Applications for Shares must be made to the Offices of
the Company. A preference in the allotment will be given
according to priority of applicati,n.

" To the Directors of the West of England Woollen
Company.
" Gentlemen,—Having carefully surveyed the Staverton
Mills,' near Bradford on-Avon, agreed to be purchased by
The West of England Woollen Manufacturing Company
(Limited),' I am of opinion that it is an exceedingly,
eligible and well-arranged property, possessing an area of
buildings, together with steam end water-power, fully ade-
quate to a very large production of manufactured goods,
and at the same time capable of great extension it ever
needed. It is very well situated, is in good repair, and
quite worth the amount at which it is to be purchased.
"I am, Gentlemen, yours very respectfully,
"HENRY WEAVER,
"

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set or 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 t 3 many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so Liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
