This Company has been formed for the construction of a
Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's),
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 avave average,value ; whilst around the Coast there
.are extensive 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 brcught by laud-carriage (there being
no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly
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 for the produce is Douglas ; the
route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex-
pensive.

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
mailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient.
Hence, Tourists visit the Mand in large numbers, above
100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during
the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian
relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a
matter of course, 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
s&lubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The
picturesple is united with the more solid advantage of cheap
living, laovisions being abundant and comparatively inea•
Pellsi've, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so
entail as to render the Island most advantageous as a per-
Znanent place of residence.
Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are
now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of
the Ports 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 be 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, &a 5,600
Parcels and Mails

£13,150
Working Expenses at even 50 per Cent. 6,500

Leaving for Dividend £6,00

Plans, Sactions, &c., 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,
uwpon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent. per Annum
be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount
Paid Upon shares.
nib v!intageous arrangement can be made with respon-
ve Parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years.

PROSPECTUS.
Although the system of joint-stock banking has been esta-
blished to meet the requirements of most departments of
' trade, it has not been introduced for the business of the
Agricultural and Cattle-markets of the Metropolis ; and
though the pspulation has doubled Within the last twenty-
five years—and consequenlly the necessary q tantity of sup-
plies - yet the whole business, amounting to fifteen to twenty
millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private
firms.
The Albion Bank is introduced to provide increased
facilities for this trade, by establishing an office in the City,
as well as at Smithfield and the Metropolitan tatt e-market ;
and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening
branches in the aaricult iral districts.
The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business
to be transacted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre-
ciated by a kilo sledge that the method in which dealings are
carried on at the Cat. le-market ems titutes the back, 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 course of erection, is destined, by the terms of the act
of Parliament, to combine and supersede all other markets
for meat in the m•tropolis. To this market will be concen-
trate • all transactions for the supply of buterers' meat,
poll' try, and other pr.duce to the inhabitants of the metro-
polis, and a circle of 14 miles round it.
The Directors have entered into provisional arrangements
by which the advantage of c mmencing up ,n an eßtabl shed
connexion, under competent and experienced manageme .t,
will be secured to Shareholders from the c fmmence-
meet of buslm as, by which they are warranted in expect-
ing that they wi 1 be enabled to declare a dividend during
the first year.

That number of Joint-Stock Banks m y be advantageous
increased (more p r icularly r speeW circumstance•,
such as have led to the formation of the Albion Bank), is de-
monstrated by the fact that so late as six ye r+ ago, when
the number of Joint Stock Bank In London was n t more
than six, their total deposits did not ex2eed £22,030,000:
while now that the number of these ban a has been doubled,
the joint der sits are ail eady more than treb e 1, arnoun fug
to a total of £71,792,300. The dividend+ of the older banks
range from 15 to 30 per oent. in iccor iance with the dates of
their eatabli hment ; ~nd the premiums on their shares ire
from 209 to 300 ,er cent. in a precisely smi ar r dim The
deposits and dividends of th Joint-btock Banks recent y
formed show a ra' id progress tow,,rds identtc ,1 results.
Should no al otment talk e plac the deposits will be returned
in full. Should a less number of Shares be a ltted than are
applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the
p ymc•nt on ,llotthenr, and the ba ante, if any, returned to
the applic .nt.

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, but absolutely necessary ; and t
supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built
within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted
u on the model of the great American and Continental
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 200 rooms, furnished in the best style.
Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of
storing about 3,00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice
wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the
whole town.
The Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the
Washington Hotel, together with the goodwill, stock in trade,
furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in
the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the
Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent on the capital
will be realised.
It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be
the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other
existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other large towns
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.
The Company will take immediate possession of the pre-
mi%es, and Enter at once upon the business, consequently re-
turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that
they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticii.ate
large dividends for the shareholders.
'I here will be no promotion money, and the preliminary
expenses %sill be restricted to the amount actually incurred.
Hu() allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi I
be returned in full ; and if a less numb-rof shares be allotted
than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wiil be cre-
dited towards the payment on a lotment.
l'ians of the pro Derty may be seen at the Offices of the Com-
pany, and also at the Brokers, where Prospectuses and Forms
of Application for Shares may be had.
