SECRETARY (pro tem.) —Mr. George Stephens.

Thi. Company is estalAshed for the purpose of extendinv
to British Columbia and Vancouver Island princi••les of
business that have long since been adopted in other colonies
with very beneficial results both to the English capitalist
and the local property holder.
The Company will raise moneys on debentures on its own
credit, on terms prevalent in this market, and will a :ply the
moneys so obtained to mortgage of real estate or other secu-
rities of a substantial and productive clviracter in the two
colonies, at the much higher rates procurable there. When
it is mentioned that in British Columbia and Vancouver
Island fr. m 12 to 16 per cent. per annum is regarded as a
favourable rate of interest at which to b rrow money on un-
exceptionable securities, it wil at once be seen how consider-
able is the margin of profit that will arise to the Company
under thi- head.

Toe acquirement of property by purchase, to a limited ex-
tent, whether from the Government direct or from private
owners, will also, in cases pre,enting the prospect of advan-
tageous and early resale, have attention from the Company—
it is considered that the Government of the two colonies may
be induced, in consideration of the encouragement which the
Company will have the opportunity of offering to immigra-
tion, to accord grants of land to the Company under regulatcd
cond,tions of settlement.

This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out
concessions for making and working Tramways in the King-
dom of Holland and adjacent states. A concession for a
d,uble Tramway from the Hague to Scheveningue (the
Brighton of Holland) has already been obtained on-favour-
able terms, and a contract has been co eluded with respon-
sible English contractors, by which they undertake to pur-
chase the land, to make the lines, and provide all the rolling
stock, horses, &c„ for the sum of £40,000. The remaining
10,000 will be required for a working c pita'.
The works are in active prrgress, and will be completed
and brought into operation in thecourse of the month of May
next. _ _

The Company will also act as Agents in all matters of In-
vestment and Finance as between the home capitalist and
the colonial property holder.
The Company's business in the colonies will be conducted
by specially se:ectecl managers. The s.curit;es selected will
be subjected to the strictest examination both as to title and
value.

The line will commence in the principal square in the town
of the Hague, and follow the ordinary route to Scheveningue
returning by another route, via the Canal and Zoological
Garden., to the same station, being a total length of about
seven English miles.
Scheveningue, the only marine suburb in Holland, is re-
sorted oby large numbers of visitors, chiefly from Amster-
dam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and other towns.
From minute information furnished by the town authori-
ties, the number of vehicles employed in this t•affic has been
ascertained to make 110 0,0 journeys a year, each conveying
on ,‘n average six persons, and the total number 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 20,000 tons of fish, merchandise, and provisions
are carried annually between the Hague and Scheveningue,
o which it is assumed that one-halt at least will be carried
by the Tramway. From existin, sources of traffic an annual
income of at least £20,000 may safely be calculated upon.
From carefully prepared estimates of the cost of horse
keep, waves, 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 fairl be relied upon.
A large number of shares has already b en subscribed for
in Holland, which furnishes a proof of the high estimation
in which this undertaking is held by the Dutch people. Ap-
plications for the remaining shares may be made to the
Brokers, or to the Secretary, at the Offices, it, Cannon-street,
but no application will be considered unless accompanied oy
a deposit of £1 per share ; should no allotment be made to
the a• plicant, this sum will be returned in full.
March, 18111.

The debenture holder, under this course of business, will
not only have the security of the subscribed capital, but also
the entire assets of the Company.
The prospects of the shareholders are best exemplified by
the large returns on capital obtained by the shareholders of
similar institutions.

The Company has taken powers which will enable it to
effect an union with any other Company having kindred ob-
jects in anyofthe t3rl,lsh North American colonies. _ _

The Boa;c1 of the Company consists of gentlemen who have
either applied the same principles of business to other colo-
nies, cr who, from their connection with the North American
possessions, will be regarded as authorities upon the subject
of Colonial securities.

As fields for investment British Columbia and Vancouver
Island may be said to be unsurpassed in advantages. The
rise and progress of these colonies have been most rapid ; the
imports into the port of Victoria (Vancouver Island) alone
during the six montns ending June, 1863, were 1,863,513
dols., being an excess over those of the first half of the pre-
vious year of upwaras of 160, 00 dols. The value of property
in Vancouver Island has more than doubled during the last
three years. The azricuhural capacity of British Columbia
is now also fast attracting attention.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association can be in-
spected at the Offices of the Solicitors. Messrs. Baxter, Rose,
Norton, and Co., 6, Victoria-street, Westminster, or at the
Temporary Offices of the Company.
