This Company has been formed for the construction of a
Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John'a),
in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important
towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing
population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the
number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate
introduction of railways.
The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and
its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield
and av we average value ; whilst around the Coast there
are extenAve Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea•
weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of
land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com-
paratively unavailable.
Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality
of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to
any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite
near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in
the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of
railway facilities, become available for export.
One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St.
John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is
also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce
of these mines is now brought by land-carriage (there being
no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of neatly
ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as
well as all necessaries required by the inland population,
are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides
these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held
during the year in this district, must add considerably to
the annual revenue of the Company.
The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown,
Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the
great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of
arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and
from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin-
cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels;
the place of destination tor the produce is Douglas ; the
route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex-
pen si ve.
The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com-
munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven,
Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by
sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient.
Hence, Tourists visit the Nand in large numbers, above
100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during
the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the entiquariau
relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a
matter of coarse, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas
to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. I
The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the
sulubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The
picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap,
living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex •
pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so
small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per-
manent place of reeidenee.
Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are
now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of
the Porto of Douglas and Peel.
The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently
established.
The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings.
The length of Line will bo about twelve miles, and the
gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula-
tion along it are most favourable to the project.
From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much
care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official
Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic wi:l re-
turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol-
lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic :

Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum.
Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c.. 6,500
Parcels and Mails

£13,150
Working Expenses at even 60 per Cent. 6,500

Leaving for Dividend £6,6bo

Plane, Sections, Scc., of the Line are completed, and all
necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with
the St. nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an
Act of the Local Parliament.
Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island,
and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the
value of Railway property in England and other countries,
no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can-
not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this
Lino.
An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase
the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations,
furnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs,
upon satisfactory teems. Interest at 5 per cent. per Annum
will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount
paid upon shares.
An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon-
sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years.
Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from
the Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company.

PROSPECTUS.
Although the system ofjoMt-stock banking has blen esta-
blished to meet the requirements of most departments of
trade, it has not bun introduced tor the business of the
Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the metropolis ; and
though the population has doubled within the last twenty-
five years—and consequently the necessary q iantity of sup-
plies - yet the whole business, amounting tofifteen to twenty
millions per annum, is left in the hands ot a few private
firms.
The Albion Bank is introdtved to provide increased
falilities for this trade, by establishing an ofll3e in the City,
as well as at Smithfield and the Me, ropoliten Let e-market ;
and subs' quently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening
branches in (he ag.ricult,iral nistricts.
The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business
to be trans icted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre-
ciated by a k no riledge that the method in which dealings are
carried on at the Cat le-marizet o institutes the ba ik, the de-
po-itory of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the
producer.
The Metropolit n Meat or Poultry-market in Smithfield,
now in courts,. of erection, is destine.t, by the terms of the act
of Parliament, to combine and supersede all other markets
for meat in the m-tropolis. To this mar:et will be concen-
trate all transactions tor the supply of buto-ers' meat,
you try, and other pr,duce to the inhabitants of the metro-
polis, ant a circle ot ;4 miles round it.
The I .irect or s have entered into provisional arrangements
by which the advantage of c mmencing up in an establ shed
connexion, under competent and experiencrd manageme t,
will be semred to Sharelyilters trim the c unmence-
meet of bust'', rots
by whic's they are warranted in expect-
ing that they wi 1 be enabled to ele.lare a dividend during
the first 3 ear.
That number ef Joint-Stock Bunks m y bead vantageos'
increased (more p r icularly ud• r sped eircumstanueey •,
such as have ed to the formation of the Albion Bank), is de-
monstrated by she f ,ct that so late as six ye r • ago, wimn
the number of Joint Stoox Bank in Londoa was n t more
than six, their total depossts did not ex eed £22,0.0,00 t
while n,iw that The number of these ban s his been doubled,
this jo;n. depesi:s are a eady more than .reb et, amours ing
to a total ot £71,'923rn. Tee dividend, of the o'der banks
range from 15 to 30 per cent. in ccor enee with the dates of
their stabil hment ; and the premiums en their Fhares +re
from 200 to 3(0 i er uent. in a pree:sely s mi ar r ‘t.o. • The

PROSPECTUS.
Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenger
traffic which exists between this country, America, the West
Indies, and Canada passes.
It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel accommoda-
tion is not only desirable, hut absolutely necessary ; and tl
supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built
with the last two years. It has been designed and fitted
u onin the model of the great American and Con mental
Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury
which modern taste can suggest.
The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, opposite the principal
railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It
contains about 203 rooms, furnished in the best style.
Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capablce
icof
stcring about 3.00 tons of ice. These are the only publi the
e
wells in Liverpool, and from their position can ply
sup
whole town.
The Company has arranged to purchase the lease ofthe
Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade.
furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in
tne purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the
Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital
will berealised.
It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be
the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with othewns
r
existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other la ge to
in the United Kingdom, and also in America.
As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large
returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and
acquiring a business, will be avoided.
Tne Company will take immediate possession of the pre-
mi• es, and Fitter at once upon the business, consequentl y re-
turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that
they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate
large dividends for the shareholders.
. here will be no promotion money, and ths preliminary
expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred.
If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi 1
than are applied for, the balance of such deposit whi be cre-
dited towards the payment on a lotment.
Plans of the pro -erty may be seen at the Offices of the Com-
pany, and also at the Brokers, where Prospectuses and Forms
