SECRETARY (PRO TEM.)
Arthur Dossor, Esq.

The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex-
tending the well-known iron ship-building establishment of
Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co., of Hull. The capabilities
of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they
occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river
Humber 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 20,00) tons per annum, at
which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs.
Samuelson and Company have orders on hand for ships ex-
ceeding 20,000 tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is
proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yard,
and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company ave secured,
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 all kinds of railway and engineering works.
In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship-
buildirg yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of
the largest class. This is a highty profitable part of the busi-
ness. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been
such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Samuel-
sin 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 ship-build-
ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship-
building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district
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-
ditions.
Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works.
The present orders in hand for ships, engines, and general
engineering work amount to above £300,600, all at 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-39 per cent. - off the capabilities of the
worts, the trade will, with the judicious management and
employment of the capital, rat urn a dividend of 20 per cent.
and upwards to the shareholders, and if the works continue
to be fully employed, a much larger amount.
Tha terms of urchase are highly advantageous ; the plant
and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises,
together with al the stock of materials, are to .13: taken at
the valuation of 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.
In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will
be returned in fu 1. Should a less number of shares be allotted
than is app lied for, the deposit will be made stvailable towards
the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned
to the applicant.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 21,
Threadneedle-street, and 80, Lombard-street, and of the
Brokers and Solicitors.

TEETH.-Mr. ESK ELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set. of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so periectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
tise explaining Mr. Eske.ll's Patent, &c., free for 7 stamps.
