This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out
concessions for making and working Tramways in the fang-
dom of Holland and adjacent states. A concession tor a
d 3uble Tramway from the Hague to Scheveningue (the
Brighton of Holland) has already been obtained on fay, ur-
able terms, and a contract has been cor eluded with respon-
sible English co atractors. by which they undertake to pur-
ch-,se the land, to make the lines, and provide all the rolling
stock, horses, &c., for the sum of £IO,OOO. The remaining
£lO,OOO will be required for a working c pit a%
The works are in active progress, and will be completed
and b:ought into operation in the course of the month of May
next.

The line will rommence in the principal ware in the tovia
of the Hague, and follow he ordinary route to Scheveninguo
returning by another route, via the Canal and Zoological
Gardens, to the same atat.on, being a total length of about
seven English miles. _ _ .

Scheveningue, the only marine suburb in Holland, is re-
sorted to by large numbers of visitors, chiefly from Amster-
dam, Rotteco am, Utrecht, and other towns.
From minute ieformation furnished by the town authori-
ties, the number of vehicles employed in this traffic has been
ascertained to make lio.o‘o journeys a year, each co.veyirg
on an average six persons, and the total numb r of visitors
now entering Scheveningue in carriages and on foot amounts
to about 4, 00,0 0 a year; of these it may fairly be estimated
that one-fourth will travel by the Tramway. In addition
thereto, about 20,00 e i ons of fish, merchandise, and provisions
are carried annually between the Hague and Scheveningue,
01 which it is assumed that one-halt at least will be carried
by the Tramway. From existing sources of traffic an annual
income of at least £20,001 may safely be calculated upon.
From carefully prepared estimates of the cost of horse
keep, wa-'cs, repairs, and every contingency, the general re-
sult is that a net dividend of not less than 15 per cent. on the
proposed capital may fairly be relied upon.
A large number of shares has already b en subscribed for
in Holland, which furnishes a proof of the high e,timation
in which this undertak ng is held by the Dutoh people. Ap-
plications for the remaining shares may be made to the
Brokers, or to the secretary, at the Offices., 16, Cannon-street,
but no application will be considered unless accompanied ey
a deposit of £t per share ; shoulf 'no allotment be made to
the applicant, this sum will be returned in tulL
