This Company is established for purchasing and working
the celebrated Iron Works, situate at Nenstadt, on the
Hanover and Bremen R.ilway.
These important works, well known in Germany for the
production of Charcoal Iron, were established in 1856-58, at a
cost ex ceding £340,000.
According to a report by John Tledley, Esq.., of Derby, one
of H. H.'s Inspectors of Mines (which report may be seen at
the Office), the works consist of two blast furnaces— a foundry
containing cupola and arrangments for a large casting busi-
ness—a forge—bar and plats: mills with eight pairs of rolls—
shears —lathes, &c., capabl,e, with slight additions, of turning
she
thannually 5,000 tons o'i boiler plates, and 3,000 tons of bars,
e whole of the machinery worked by steam power:-.toether with ample storehouses, workshops, and offices, and
cottages for twei:ty -five families.
The buildings v-te of a more substantial kind than is usual
for such purposes
ha in England, and the machinery, which is
condit
tinedconstrt With all recent improvements, is in excellent
7‘ring been used for a short time only.
The dep.o'sit of iron ore belonging, to the works is practi-
cally inP' naustible ; it is of very pure quality, of the same
oornposi+don as the clay band of the coal measures, and con-
lalns flxim forty-two t i forty-four percent. of iron according
In .tile analysis of Dr. Percy, of the Government School of
Mixes in London. As this mass of ore lies open to the day
it is worked without the expense of sinking shafts, pump-
ing, itc.
The fuel employed being half wood charcoal and half peat,
entirely free from sulphur and phosph rus, plates and all
ether descriptions of the finest quality are marufactured.
The extensive forests in the neighbourhood, and an inex-
haustible deposit of peat from 20 to 30 feet in thickness—
which is prepared at the works—supply the tequisite fuel lit
a cheap rate. i
Coke is supplied by neighbouring collieries, of a quality
equal to the best North of England coke, with which superior
Iron for casting purposes can be made, and for which therein
an extens ye demand throughout Germany, at a price which
will leave a large profii-.
The Iron made at these works is adapted for the manufac-
ture of first-class plates, bars, tyres, and steel ; and from the
tenacious and ductile character of some of the mixtures, supe-
rior armour plates for ...hips can be manufactured.
For the cmvevance of fuel -nd products of the works the
property includes eight miles of railway, three feet gauge,
besides two and three quarter miles of main tine, branch and
l:ftlings connecting the works with the Hanover and Bremen
line and thus with all parts of Germany.
The works are erected upon about fifty acres (65 Morgen,
tit tr..eahold land, and there is also a copyhold farm of 172
understead Po

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 governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imnerative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the publics for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Man terman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and
