way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, H.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of
zovernors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable fOrm—viz., that which is accom-
Mated by sickness and disease, 'and is now of sufficient
p ab
'tnagaleitude that, 'With adequate support, it may be rendered
._ of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
.ual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
Tgrhaetuwiteoez
thusin order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
tnese th
it e Most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
f'ARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
~0 enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

The deficiency ot Hotel accommodation in India, China,
and other places in the East to which Rut opeans now resort
in large and annually increasing numbers, is a subject of
general compl -int ; and it is evident that the development
of the means of transi- by ocean and river steamers, and by
railways, which has been in rapid progress now for some
years, must imperfectly fulfil all Ps important objects, so far
as European intercourse with the East is cone rued, until
this want is adequately supplied.
In England, and on the (.;entinent of Europe, it is now an
asce-tained fact that the joint-stock system may most suc-
cessfully be applied to the establishment of Hotels of the
first class. If this be so where good private Hotels before
existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt
that an equal degree of commercial success is attainable by
the application of capital, upon the same system, to the same
object, in countries where, thouzli the demand is great and
increasing, it may almost be said that good private Hotels
do not exist.
In Calcutta a joint-stock company has lately purchased
and undertaken the management of an Hotel, and the pro-
spects of the enter, rise, as a commercial speculation, may be
inferred from the very high prem,nm at which their shares
are quoted in the Calcutta market, see “Times" July 17, the
" Englishman's Weekly Mail" of June 8, 1863, and "Allen's
Indian Mail," viz., £es paid, present value, £l2i ex div.,
equal to 71 per cent. preminai, and the payment of a dividend
of 10 per cent, for the half-year ending 0 3 th April last, equal
to 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for
the establishment of an Hotel of a firs' class character. The
early completion of vast lines of railway converging in the
island of Bombay. and the more frequent steam commun ca.
i,
tion between that port and Europe which will eoon tak
place,
must very much increase the demand for such accom-
modation. The same may be said of Madras.
It is under these circumstances that the Hotels
Oriental
Company iLimitedi is established, in the . confi .entbelief that
India i this form will
capital to n
the application of European d
' , in thefirst
not be less profitable than useful. is
It proposed,
instance, to supply the urgent requirements of Bombay and
Point de Galle. There are equally important places which
will naturally engage the early attention of the Company,
such for example as Madras, Singapore, and Kurrachee ; not
to speak of many very important railway stations in the in-
terior of India, where there are now no Hotels at all, and
field
for at a comparatively small outlay, there is a large
for profitab e operations.
The largerclass of the Company'slgotels will afford all the
conveniences of the best European Hotels, adapted to the
clinpae, and to she hsbits of those for whom they ate
in-
tended; whilst, in even the smallest class, the health and
comfort of the inmates will be carefully studied.
It is intended 10 constitute local committees of management
in each Presidency where Hotels may be established.
In the event of two-thirds of the first issue of shares not
being subscribed for, no allotmen, will take place, and the
deposits will be returned to the subscrib rs, without deduc-
tion.
It is proposed to pay to shareholders 5 per cent. interest
upon the capital as paid up, until the first dividend is de-
clared.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
had on application to the Bankers, the Brocer, or the Secre-
tary.
