The Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great
Financial Associations recently established.
It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out
the public works contemplated in the concessions they ob-
tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera-
tion of contractors whose capital and position offer an un-
deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus
relieving the financial associations of that responsibility.
The constantly increasing scale on which public works of
all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved,
place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un-
less supported by joint-stock enterprise.
This Company has, therefore, been formed far
lic the pur-
Pose of undertaking the execution of great pubworks,
and arrangements have been entered into with well known
contractors, by which contracts to the amount of £11,000,000
sterling will be turned over to the Company.
Among other contracts handed over to the Company is
that for the construction of the European Central Rail
willway,
which has been secured on favourable terms, and be
Commenced forthwith.
The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi-
ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work
43n terms highly advantageous to the Company, he retaining
a large interest in the Company by receiving paym
t ent for
he transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited
thereon.
It is well known that many undertakings of great cora-
Mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want
of Contractors who can command the necessary resources
in
to
Insure their completion. This Company, combining the
"'Aimee of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co-
operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi-
'epee and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence
211 the part of governments, public bodies, and the great
!I-uncial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex-
tensive business on favourable terms.
Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained
at the Offices of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli-
citors, and Bankers.
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will
oe returned in full. Should a less number of shares be
allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made
available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

PROSPECTUS.
This company has been formed with the view of developand-
ing the agricultural, manufacturing, commercial,
mineral resources of Ireland, and providing for that country
those pecuniary facilities which have so much contributed
to the advancement and prosperity of the other portions of
the United Kingdom.
It is proposed that this company should act—
istly. As a Finance Company, for negotiating and making
advances upon approved real and personal securities, ski g
necessary the using and dealing in the same. The taking
contracts for railways or other works ; the recei business moneys
on deposit, and generally transacting financia
Principal or agent.
2dly, As a Land Credit Company, for buying, selling,
making advances on, and dealing in real property of all
descriptions and tenures, and of all estates and interests
therein, including the erection of buildings thereon, and
improving, or repairing the same.
3dly, As a Lan Imovement Company, for reclaiming,
draining, and improvingpr lands, and making and construct•
hag roads, and executing all works ; and, either as principal
°r agent, making estimates and entering into contracts for
the same.
4thly, As agent, by affording facilities for the association
of capitalists desirous of taking a limited interest in remu-
nerative undertakings of a local character, either privately
or by introducing them to the public.
The wet and waste lands of Ireland amount to more than
6,000,000 acres, affording a fruitful field for the employment
of capital by reclamation and drainage. Capital can alsor
o
be profitably employed in making advances on land
other property with the Landed Estates Court and other
good titles.
The want of this association has been long experienced
by those most competent to form a sound judgment on such
a question; and it is generally admitted t the proper time
has arrived when such an undertakipg can be successfully
tarried out.
The articles of association may
be seen at the solicitors
f the company. In the event of no allotment being made
the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number
of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will
be made available towards the payment on allotment, and
the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares in the
form annexed to the prospectus, may be obtained at the
bankers, brokers, solicitors, and of Messrs, G. H, Bud A.
