TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
ALTHOUGH I have not had the good fortune
to succeed upon the Ballot taken this day for a seat in
the Direction of your Affairs, I feel so confident of success on
the next vacancy, not only from the assurances of continued
support which I have received from those who have kindly
favoured me with their suffrages, but also from the accession of
numerous and powerful friends now released from previous
engagements, that I HAVE NO HESITATION IN PLEDGING
MYSELF to come forward again on the FIRST VACANCY that
may occur.
_ _

Allow me to return my grateful acknowledgments to those
Proprietors who have thus far honoured me with their valuable
support, and to assure them that when I attain the objeet of my
ambition, my zealous endeavours shall be used in promoting
the happiness and prosperity of our native fellow-subjects in
India, as the best means of securing the interests of the East
India Company, and the permanency of the British Empire in
Asia. I have the honour to be, very respectfully.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obliged and obedient servant,
W. H. SYKES, Lieutenant-Colonel, Bombay Army.

No successful attempt has hitherto been made to introduce
the superior coals of North Staffordshire into the London
Market, and the wealthy owners of the northern collieries have
hitherto enjoyed a monopoly.
For the purpose of supplying the Metropolis with coals equal,
and in some respects superior, to the best " Wallsend," a
"'"rnpany has been formed who contracted for the purchase
of the Dilhorne Colliery, with its engines and machinery, and the
fee simple of a large tract of adjoining mineral land, abound-
ing in coal and iron, situate in the Northern Division of the
County of Stafford. Arrangements have been made with the
different Canal Proprietors for the transit of the Coal at reduced
rates of tonnage ; and the Company will be enabled to deliver
to their Shareholders in London, at all seasons of the year, the
very best quality of Coals at 225. 6d. per ton, leaving an ample
return for the Capital embarked.
The Coals have been burnt at many of the leading establish-
ments in London, who have furnished the most satisfactory
Testimonials to their quality as compared with the best Walls-
end Coals.
These Testimonials, with a Prospectus, may be had at the
Offices of the Company, N.. 36, Old Jewry, where applications
for the remaining Shares will be received, addressed to the Se-
cretaries, if by letter, post paid.
