SPECIAL,ADVINTAGES OF THIS COMPANY.

The advantages posesessed by this Company are im-
proved patented machinery, auxiliary water-power,
and a saving of at least 25 per cent. in the unskilled
portion of labour as compared with the North, which
justify the Directors in entertaining the most sanguine
expectations as to the probable nature of the enterprise, and
in which they are strengthened by the favourable opinion
express3cl by the eminent firms who have signed the attes-
tation at foot. The Directors, therefore, recommend this
undertaking with the greatest confidence, as a safe and
legitimate investment in one of the great staple manufac-
tures of this country, forming a favourable contrast to many
of the speculations now offered to the public.

ESTIMATED PROFITS.
The whole operation has been under a patient and labo-
rious investigation by some of the most eminent Manufac-
turers of this Kingdom, and the result shows, after making
the most ample allowance for every exigency, a profit, of
25 per cent. per annum on the Capital proposed to be raised;
and this on a calculation based on the lowest quality of
goods, on which there would be, of course, less profit than
on the higher classes to which it is applicable.
DEMAND.
_ _ _

The steady increase for several years past for the various
articles manufactured by the Felting process, assures the
Directors as to the demand for many descriptions of Woollen
Goods both for home and foreign consumption, which the
high price of cotton is rapidly augmenting.
MANAGER AT THE WORKS.
The Directors being fully alive to the importance of
having a thoroughly practical manager at the works,
have made a preliminary engagement with one who
has devoted many years to the manufacture of felted fabrics
and who has been very successful in the introduction of im-
provements in machinery in this increasing branch of manu-
facture ; and they will not allot any shares until such an
amount of capital be applied for as in their opinion will be
adequate to enable them to commence on a scale that will
produce a satisfactory dividend. Some of the Directors,
who are practically acquainted with the process, have
visited the works, obtained most reliable information, and
anticipate being large customers for the articles proposed
to be produced.

ACCOUNTS.
The Directors, in order to insure correctness and regu-
larity in the Factory accounts, have entered into a prelimi-
nary arrangement for the appointment of a local auditor,
whose duty will be to visit the works every fortnight.
SUMMARY OF PATENT.
The advantages contemplated to be derived from the
Patents may be briefly stated to be threefold :-
Ist. A mode of feeding the carder is employed which, in-
stead of delivering the fibres of the wool longitudinally, in-
terweaves and intercrosses them from side to side, so that the
fibres of wool are interlaced with each other in such a man-
ner, that when the Felting process is applied, the material
becomes equally strong in every direction.
2d, A fiat hardener, by which the tension of the fibres of
the wool is avoided, and is peculiarly adapted to fine cloth.
3d, The finishing or hardening rollers through which the
cloth is lastly passed, somewhat similar to those of a paper
machine, and by which a firmness is obtained which has yet
never been acquired by felted goods, the want of which has
rendered the present make of felted carpets objectionable as
wearing woolly. By this new process the hardness and
firmness of leather can be obtained, if needful.

The Articles of Association can be inspected at the offices
of the Company.
Applications for Shares roust be made to the Offices of
the Company. A preference in the allotment will be given
according to priority of applicatiun.

" To the Directors of the West of England Woollen
Company.
" Gentlemen,—Having carefully surveyed the Staverton
Mills,' near Bradford on-Avon, agreed to be purchased by
' The West of England Woollen Manufacturing Company
(Limited),' I am of opinion that it is an exceedingly
eligible and well-arranged property, possessing an area of
buildings, together with steam and water-power, fully ade-
quate to a very large production of manufactured goods,
and at the same time capable of great extension it eve..
needed. It is very well situated, is in good repair, and
quite worth the amount at which it is to be purchased.
"I am, Gentlemen, yours very respectfully,

.iliting—OuTlsl"-anch schemes a
iutely necessary for the convenience of the p
The Towle CLERK read the petition, whici
the committee had seen with great satisfactim
poration of London had appointed a special
consider this important subject, and went on •
mischief which was likely to be occasioned to ti to Jitath,
and also to the trade of the city of London, ; S the proposed
projects were carried out to anything like t eert-ent con-
templated ; and expressed an opinion that inc munch as three
important termini in the City had been sanctioned, euflicient
had been done.,-at all events for the present, and prayed the
committee to oppose every scheme affecting tho City that
was not prom] to be absolutely necessary, s cad at the same
time suggested the advisability of endeavouri.v; to obtain the
nostponenuent of the whole of the remaining; railway pro-
jects, at all events to the next seesion of Path.' amcnt.
Alderman FINNIS then moved that the pci don should be
referred to the Special Railway Committee, at dhe said that
the subject *as one of the most vital itnportac rice to the in-
terests of the city of London, and every one r eliding in the
City had a doep interest in what was going on ;at the prcsent
moment, and was a serious sufferer by the aft en )pt to ir vado
the City in all directions
different rawa 3' cote ,rudee.
No time must be lost, hut he hoped they wo ald be able by
strenuous exertions to save the city of London horn the mis-
chief with which it was threatened.
Al:lermau DAMN said he should like to be itnfortned by
the petitioners whether the recent joint resol
uution of tho
committees of the Houses of Lords and Comm( Ins, by which
a great many projects had been set aside, had made any
difference in their opinion upon the subject.
Mr. MORLEY, who with Messrs. Gassiott, Candy, Tits,
M.P., and some other influential firms in the City, Who
represented the committee, and who, it shoadd be stated,
' had been invited upon the motion of Alderman }lnnis to
take their seats on the upper bench of the court, replied
that this resolution did not in any way affect their opinions,
as a great many most objectionable projects still remained.
It was the opinion of the committee that the best course
would be for all the remaining schemes affecting the city of
London to be postponed, in order that they might be fully
considered, and that none should be sanctioned except such
as were absolute/y• necessary for the convenience of the
public, of which tho citizens of London were as well able to
judge as any set of speculators. (Hear, hear.)
Alderman Fuerris went en to say that at the present time
the citizens of London were subjected to the receipt of notice
of removal from every enterprising solicitor who thought he
could get up a company, and they were kept in a state of
constant nervous excitement, not knowing whether they
were to be turned out of their houses or not. (Hear.)
Mr. J. SvmoNs seconded the motion of the worthy alder-
man. •

Deputy ToNEs, chairman of the Law and Parliamentary
Committee, said he perfectly concurred in the views that
had been expressed as to the desirability of doing something
to put a stop to the proceedings that were now going on,
but it had always been customary to place such matters
in the hands of the Law and Parliamentary Committee,
and it appeared to him that it would tend to weaken their

powers if they were divided betweei a two committees. He
therefore suggested that either the Sp eoial Committee or the
Law and Parliamentary Committee a. could act alone in the
matter, and undertake the entire responsibility.
Alderman ROSE, M.P., said that he could not see any ob-
jection to the two committees acting together, and he hoped
that nothing would be done to cause delay in endeavouring
to put a stop to the mischief with which the city of London
was threatened. (Hear, hear.) He could assure them that
it was a very eerious question indeed ; and he would remind
them that during the course of construction of tho Metropo-
litan Railway the trade of one street in their line of works was
entirely annihilated. (Hear, hear.) He would leave them
tojudge what would be the effect of a similar proceeding in
the city of London—Chear, hear)—and he had no hesitation
in saying that if many of the proposed projects were carried
out the result would be that the trade of the city would, to
a great extent, be entirely destroyed. (Hear, hear.) These
railway projects would, also, not only interfere moat disas-
trously with the trade of the city, but also with the leases,
rents, and a great many other important matters, and all
business arrangements for the future would be at a complete
standstill. (Hear, hear.) He could also inform them that a
great many of the bills had already been read a second time,
and that there was no time to be lost. (Hear.)
Mr. H. LOWMAN TAYLOR expressed his opinion that the
citizens of London and the public generally were very much
indebted to the memorialists for coming forward as they had
done in this important matter, and that such powerful co-
operation must have great weight. (Hoar, hear.) He was
very glad to see that a proposition that had been made in
the House of Commons, that a committee of engineers
should be formed to decide which of the proposed railway
projects were likely to be the most advantageous to the public
had been opposed by Mr. Milner Gibson ; and in his opinion
no body of engineers or profess .onal men, however respectable
they might be, ought to be entrusted with such power as
would have been conferred upon such a committee. (Hear.)
He agreed with the memorialists, and as three termini of
railways had already been sanctioned in the heart of the
City of London, enough had been done for the present, and
that it was extremely advisable that all the other projects
affecting the City should be postponed, at all events for the
present. (Hear, hear.) It gave him great satisfaction to
see that the merchants of the ay of London had moved in
the matter, and he thought that the Parliament would not
fail to give effect to an expression of opinion from such a
high source. (Hear, hear.) Ho quite concurred with the
object in view, but it appeared to him that it would be better
for the whole matter to be placed under one committee, and
although he was aware that the Court was very fond of
new things—he supposed upon the principle that new
brooms sweep clean—(No, no, and laughter)—still he could
not help saying that he thought it would he better for the
matter to be referred to the Law and Parliamentary Com-
mittee, which had always dealt with such subjects.
Mr. RICHARDSON opposed the suggestion of Mr. Taylor,
and said he hoped the matter would still be left in the hands
of the special committee, which he said he was sure would
act with energy.

The LORD MAYOR begged to boallowed to say a few words
upon the important subject before the Court. (Hear, hear.)
He said it appeared to him that there had been so much
mischief effected by the proceedings of the different railway
companies, and so much more was likely to be done if some
stop were not put to these proceedings, that it was a matter
of urgent necessity that everything that was possible should
be done to procure a postponement of a great many of the
schemes affecting the city of London that were now before
Parliament. (Hear, hear.) If they only considered for a
moment, they would see the enormous amount of work that
was to be done in the city of London that had already re-
ceived the sanction of Parliament. His lordship then men-
tioned the various important works about to be commenced,
enumerating among them the new Dead Meat Market, the
new street from Blackfriars-bridge to the Mansion-house,
the Thames Embankment, the Holborn Valley Improve-
ment, and various others, and said it appeared to him to be
manifest that if any more were attempted to be done the
City would be almost in a state of chaos. The works that
were already sanctioned would occasion the displacement
of a vast number of traders of the city of London, and, if all
the proposed schemes were to be carried out, it appeared to
him that it would be almost tantamount to giving notice to
the traders of London to quit the city entirely. (Hear.) It
appeared to him therefore that it was almost an absoluto
necessity that a great many of the proposed projects should
be postponed, at all events until some of the great works
that had already been sanctioned by the Legislature had
been completed. (Hear, hear.)
The motion was then agreed to unanimously, and
Mr. G. J. COCKERELL also moved that the chairman of
the Law and Parliamentary Committee (it having been pre-
viously agreed to, upon the motion of Deputy Jones), that
the subject should be left entirely in the hands of the Spe-
cial Railway Committee), the chairman of the Sewers Com.
mission, the chairman of the Improvement Committee, and
the chairman of the City Lands Committee, with the Alder-
men present, Messrs. Finnis,, Carter, Sir F. G. Moon, J. C.
Lawrence, Abbiss, and Lusk, and those members of the
Court who had seats in the House of Commons, should be
added to the Special Committee.
This motion was agreed to.
Deputy Lorr then proposed his motion above referred to,
which was also unanimously agreed to.

Mr. RISHARDSQN, in the absence of Deputy 0 wden, pre-
sented a petition from the inhabitants of the Ward of
the Court to take into consideration
tghieshe
opsgate, praying
ffect of the various schemes of the projected railways
on the now flourishing trade of this important and populous
ward, and to adopt such measures as may be deemed advi-
sable to prevent the carrying out of such schemes, which
will entail ruin upon so many of its inhabitants.
This petition was also referred to the Special Railway
Committee.

reporte Corporation, of
COAL, CORN, AND FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Deputyß ONE, the chairman of this committee, moved that
thef th
e committee,
which
was w which
brought relatedup nt o a the
former financesd:o
and ordered to be printed, be agreed to.
The most material part of the report related to the money
received by the Corporation upon the sale of the shares held
by them in the Metropolitan Railway. The number so held
was 20,000, and it appeared that, through the exertions of
the committee, they had been enabled to sell them at a profit
of £57,000. Upon receiving so large a sum of money as
resulted from the sale of the shares, which was about
£257,000, the committee were for some time engaged in
considering what was the best use to be made of it, and
they at length resolved to invest it in Consols, to accu-
mulate, to pay off a debt of £350,000 that had been advanced
to the Corporation by the Bank of England to carry out
some public works, and which sum bore interest at 4A per
cent., and was to have been repaid out of the 4d. coal duty,
which was no longer available. This had been done, and the
committee now asked the Court to sanction the course they
had taken.

Deputy SCAMELL expressed his opinion that better usa
might have been made of such a large sum of money than
investing it in Consols, which only paid 3 per cent., while
they were paying the Bank of England 41 per cent, upon
their money. The committee might have repaid the money
to the Bank.
Deputy money was borrowed for ten
years, and
Bdtho sE

of England to repay it.
They, however, very politely, but at the same time very
positively, refused to receive it. (A laugh.)
The report was then agreed to, and the Court shortly
afterwards adjourned.
