EPTFORD STEAM-SHIP DOCK

To be Incorporated by Act of Parliament.
Capital 1,000,000/., in 40,000 Shares, of 25/. each.
Deposit 21. per Share.
PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS.
H. C. Bingham, Esq. • John King, Esq.
John Blackman, Esq. Chas. Masterman, Esq.
William Ice, Esq. Edw. Wilshin, Esq.
With power to add to their number.
SOLICITORS—Austin and Masterman.
BANKERs—London Joint-stock Bank.
The object of this Company is to establish Docks for the
express use of Steam-Vessels, with all the accommodation for
passengers and goods, which that rapidly-increasing class of our
mercantile navy now demands.
The site of the proposed Docks comprises the River frontage
betweet► the Royal Dock-yard and Deptford Creek, where the
River is deeper than in any other part : hence the largest class
of Steam-ships may arrive or depart at almost any period of
the tide.
There will be a communication by a Junction Railway to
that of the Greenwich, by which a great saving of time will be
effected to the passenger, as well as freedom from risk of acci-
dents in the Pool, which are so frequent and appalling in their
extent and effects. The Junction Railway will also imite the
Croydon, Brighton, and South-Eastern Railways.
The prospectus and plans, with every information, may be
obtained of the Secretary, at the Office of the Company,
No. b 5, King William-street, London-bridge, to whom appli-
cation for Shares may be made (po:t paid) ; also to Messrs.
Austin and Masterman, solicitors, Wine-office-court, Fleet-
street.

ROYAL SUGAR REFINERY OF
GREECE.
Capital 120,000/. (3,000,000 francs), in 3,000 Shares of
40/. (1,000 francs), payable in three instalments, at intervals
not less than one month. Deposit 31. per Share.
'rids Company, whose direction is in Paris, having obtained
from the Greek Government an exclusive privilege for manu-
facturing and refining Sugars out of Beet-root, and refining
exotic Sugars in Greece, with other most important grants
and advantages, have now opened their Subscription List, at
Paris and London, and have appointed for this purpose as their
Agent in London, Mr. G. W. Spettz, 37, Fenchurch-street,
where Prospectuses, Forms of Application for Shares, and
every other information may be obtained, and the Bankers'
(Messrs. Willis, Percival, and Co., 76, Lombard-street)
Receipts will be exchanged for Certificates signed by the
Directors.
It is impossible in the small space of an advertisement to
point out all the advantages and the large profits this under-
taking is likely to yield. As it is, however, well known that
the Levant is now the principal mart for the Sugar Refineries
of Western Europe, it will be granted on all sides, that works
in the centre of consumption must enjoy an incontestible supe-
riority over the former, and become the more profitable, as the
privileges and grants of the Greek Government render every
competition impossible, so much so that this concern will
prove one of, if not the very best investment yet offered to the
public. The most minute details are given in the Prospectus,
with accounts showing a profit exceeding 50 per cent. per an-
num at the end of the second year.
All letters to be post paid.

plied direct from the Brewery, (at Dublin prices), by applying
