The deficiency of Hotel accommodation in India, China,
and other places in the East to which Eut 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 transii, by ocean and river steamers, and by
railways, which has been in rapid progress now for some
years, must imperfectly frdfil all Ps important objects, so far
as European intercourse: with the East is cone:rued, until
this want is adequately supplied.
In England, and or, the centinent of Europe, it is now an
ascertained fact thP.t the joint-stock system may most suc-
cessfully be appli ed to the establishment of Hotels of the
first class. If Pais be so where good private Hotels before
existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt
that an eetual degree of commercial success is attainable by
the application of capital, upon the same system, to the same
object, in countries where, though the demand is great and
increasing,
it may almost be said that good private Hotels
do not exist.
In Calcutta a joint-stack company has lately purchased
and undertaken the management of an Hotel, and the pro-
spects of the entererise, as a commercial speculation, may be.
inferred from the very- high premium 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., £25 paid, present value, ..£424 ex div.,'
equal to 70 per cent. premium, and the payment of a dividend
of 10 per cent. for the ball-year ending 30th April last, equal
ito 20 per cent. per emnum. Bombay offers a wide field for
the establishment of an Hotel of a first class character. The
early completion of vast lines of railway converging in the
island of Bombay, and the more frequent steam communica-
tion between that pert and Europe which will soon tak
place, must -eery ranch increase the demand for such accom-
modation. The same may be said of Madras.
It is ,:nder these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels
Compa''.ry (Limited) is established, in the confident belief that
the ar,plication of European capital to India in this form will
not ',ie less profitable than useful. It is proposed, in the first
instance, to supply the urgent requirements of Bombay and
Point de Galle. There are equally importa places which
will naturally engage the early attention e Company,
gtch
such for example as Madras, Singapore, and urrachee ; not
-to speak of many very important railway stations in the in-
terior of India, where there are now no Hotels at all, and
where, at a comparatively small outlay, there is a large field
for profitab e opeiations.
The largerelass of the Company's Hotels will afford all the
conveniences of the best European Hotels, adapted to the
climate, and to the habits of those for whom they are in-
tended ; whilst, in even the smallest class, the health and
comfort of the inmates will be carefully studied.
It is intended to 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 allotment 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.
Prosprictuses and forms of application for shares may be
had on application to the Bankers, the Broker, or the Secre-
tary.
