ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been duly registered with limited lia-
bility.
Its object, is the purchase of a large interest In the cele-
brated lead mines of Monteponi, in the 'Bland of Sardinia,
together with the extensive lead smelting establishment of
Pertusola and the Sarzanello Coal Mine in the Gulf of Spezz.
The purchase-money for these properties (including eleven-
twelfths of the Monteponi Mine), plant, engines, &c, is
£150,000, and It is estimated that £50,000 will be required as
floating capital, so that in fixing the nominal caps. al at
V. 50,000, a margin of £30.001 is lett to enable the Company to
take advantage of such opportunities as may present them-
selves of extending their interest in Italian mines.
This undertaking differs essentially in its nature from ordi-
nary mining enterprises. Its capital being invested in the
purchase of mines and works, which are in full operation, and
yielding very large returns.
Full provectuses with forms of application for shares may
be had at the offices of the Comp, ny, No. 6, Queen-street-
place, London, or of the Brokers of the Company, Messrs.
Joshua Eutehinson and Son. No application will be co❑-
sidered unless a deposit of £1 for each share applied for shall
have- been previously made with the Bankers of the Com-
pany. This sum will be returned in full in the event of no
allotment bein 4- made.

. --
This Company is formed under the highest auspices in Por-
tugal, to carry on the Cori Trade on a large scale, with ad-
vantages that hitherto have never been combined.
The Directors have secured a large monopoly in supply for
terms of years, on Leases extending over the largest and
most renowned Cork-producing districts. These Leases
grant the sole right to take Cork in 142 forests, some contain-
ing as many as 15,000 to 30,0 0 Cork Trees, in the districts of
at ontemor, Evora, Arraiollos, Es remog, Portel, Vienna, and
Fronteira, in the province of Aleni-el ejo.
The title and extent of these Leaves have been ver.fied by
an independent agent at Lisbon deputed by the Solicitors of
a London Bank.
The South-Eastern Railway of Portusral wil place this
large district of Cerk-producing country in immediate com-
munication with the Port of Lisbon. The R,ilwav is open
to Vendas Novas, and is about to be opened to St. Jeep, and
in the present year the Branch Lines to Evora and Bela will
also be completed.
The Directors have secured for 96 years ample land adjoin-
ing the Railway Junc•ion at St. Jago, for the erection of
Warehouses and other necessary Buildings.
1 tie Cork Trade is at present carried • n through the in-
strumentality of the Algraveos, persons who, tray eliine- fr3m
forest to forest,purchase on the around parcels of Cork,which,
at great labour and expense, they carry to Lisbon and ether
places, where it is prepared for export. The money for these
purchases is usually borrowed by them at high rates of in-
terest, frequently at 20 to 30 per cent., thereby consideratly
increasing the cost of the Cork by ,his large item of expense.
The wr ste attending the preparatio 3 of the Cork for the
market is about one-hslf. The Company having large dis-
tricts of i ork Forest, with a central depot at the Railway
Jur ction at St. Jago, and the establishments in the heart of
this Cora-producing country, already in full worn, at Azaruj a,
Igrejinha, Alcacovas, and Portel, will be enabled to effect a
large saving in the waste and transport alone, as the cost of
carrying Cork to the chief preparing and shipping ports, in a
rough state, adds very considerably to the first cost of the
Cork in the Forests, and the present large waste in prepar-
ing the Cork will be very greatly reduced in the amount.
The Forests secured by this Company now produce with
the inadequate and imperfect means hitherto employed, the
estimated annual value of £12,500, in marketable Cork, as
established by the average shipments of the produce during
the last four years, and which it is calculated will be in-
creased by the superior available means of the Company to
at least double the amount formerly obtained. The demand
and consumption of Cork in England has increased since the
year 1848 three hundred per cent., and is still increasing far
beyond the actual means of supply, thus offering a certain
basis for the profitable employment of capital.
The Directors nave secured last year's crop of Raw Cork,
estimated at 1,100 tons, which is ir. preparation, and are
therefore enabled to commence business at once, and five
sales of Cork which have already been effected from the Com-
pany's Stock, consisting of about 170 tons, have realised
about £4,390 net, in addition to which a cargo of s'l tons, ex
steamer Mavrocordatus, arrived at the London Docks on the
15th of May.

with the Plant in Portugal, will and the lastexceed X3o,'s crop
