SEC4IETARY (PRo TEM•)
Arthur Dos or, Esq.

The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex-
tending th.'e well-known iron ship-building' establishment of
Messrs. 'Arfartin Samuelson and Co., of HulL The capabilities
a thes.e works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they
occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river
Hl:amber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet.
The present iron chip-building power of the establishment
is equal to the construction of 20,000 tons per annum. at
which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs.
Samuelson and Corr,pany have orders on hand for ships ex-
ceeding 20,000 tor:a ; other large orders are offered, and it is
proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard,
,
and which Messrs. Samuelson and Compan3r ave secu
so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing
profitable demand for ships, and to erect rolling mills for the
manufacture of the iron required for ship builaing, as well as
for an kinds of railway and engineering works.
addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship-
bu.ilding yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of
the largest class. This is a highly profitable part ot the bust-
ness. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been
sch that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Samuel-
scun and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some
years ago.
The situation of this establishment gives it special advan-
tages over others of a like character. The pri e of sh,p-build-
ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of theiron iron
district ship
eat-
building ports of the kingdom; it is in the gr
of Yorkshire; coal is cheap, railways run into the works,
and connect them with all parts of England. Freights are
very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of
Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which
is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con-
dittons.
Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works.
The present orders in hand for ships, engines, and general
engineering work amount to above .£300,100, &list very remu-
nerative prices.
Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who
have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted
with this branch of manufacture, show that after making
large allowances-30 per cent. off the capabilities of
the
e
wort( tt, the trade will, with the judicious management
emloyment of the caal,
olders, ret urn a dividend of 20 per cent.
and upwards to the sphitareh and if the works continue
to be fully employed, a much larger amount.
Tha te,ms of urchase are highly advantageous ;the plant
and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises,
together with al, the stock of materials, are to b; taken at
the valuation a two engineers, one named by the Company
and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual
way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit
on works in hand, is to be paid for at one year's pur-
chase of the net profits, but on an average of three years'
working.
Ir the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will
be, returned in fu L Should a leas number of shares be al otted
than is app lied for. the deposit will be made available towards
the paym:nt on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned
to the applicant.
