The deficiency of Hotel accommodation inl
bndibvalresortChina,,
numbers,
and other place's in the East to which Europeans
in large and annually increasing is a subject of
general eCnn.pl,int ; and it is evident that
am
attheedeevresl.oapnmdebnyt
of the means of transir by ocean andriver
railways., which has been in rapid progress now for some
years, must imperfectly fulfil all Ps important objects, so far
as European intercourse with the East is conc.rned, until
this *want is adequately supplied.
In. England, and on the Continent of Europe, it is now an
aseortained fact that the joint-stock system may most sue-
cesimfully be applied to the establishment of Hotels of the
li•rst class. If this be so where good private Hotels before
existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt
'that an equal degree of commercial success is attainable by
the application of capital, upon the same system, to the same
object, in countries where, though the demand is great and
increasing, it may almost be said that good private Hotels
do not exist.
In Calcutta a joint-stock company has lately purchased
and undertaken the management of an Hotel, and the pro-
spects of the enterprise, as a commercial speculation, may be
inferred from the very high premium at which their shares
are quoted in the Calcutta market see "Times" July 17, the
"Englishman's Weekly Mail" of June 8, 1863, and "Allen's
Indian Mail," viz., £25 paid, present value, £42i ex div.,
equal to 70 per cent. premium, and the payment of a dividend
of 10 per cent, for the half-year ending 30th April last, equal
to 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for
the establishment of an Hotel of a firs, class character. The
early completion of vast lines of railway converging in the
island of Bombay, and the more frequent steam communica-
tion between that port and Europe which will soon takT
Place, must very much increase the demand for such accom-
modation. The sam'Ai may be said of Madras.
It is under these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels
Company rLinlited) is established, in the confident belief that
the application rit European capital to India in this form will
not be less prostable than useful. It is proposed, in the first
instance, to Fiupply the urgent requirements of Bombay and
Point de Galle. There are equally important places Which
will naturally engage the early attention of the Company,
such for example as Madras, Singapore, and Kurrachee ; not
t° speak of many very important railway stations in the in-
terior of India, where there are now no Hotels at, all, and
Ivhere, at a comparatively small outlay, there is a. large field
for nrofitab e opetationa.
convThe largerclass of the Company's Hotels win afford all the
eniences of the best European Hotels, adapted to the
mate, and to the hsbits of those for wi.dom they are in-
tended; whilst, in even the smallest class, the health and
comfort of the inmates will be carefully 'studied.
It is intended to constitute local comraittees of management
an each Presidency where Hotels maw> be established.
lii the event of tyro-thirds of th
being subscribed for, no allotmer,t will take place, and the
e first issue of shares not
deposits will be returned to the subscrib.rs, without deduc-
tion.
