This Company is established for purchasing and working
the celebrated Iron Works, situate at Neustadt, 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
cast ex eeding £340,000..

According fo a report by John Hedley, Esq., of Derby, one
of H.M.'s Inspectors of Mines (which report may be seen at
the Office), the works consist of two blast furnaces— a foundry
containing cupola and arrangements for a large casting bust;
ness —a forge—bar and plate mills with eight pairs of rons_
shears— lathes, &c., capable, with slight additions, of tl:trnin,g
out annually 5,000 tons of boilerplates, and 3,000 torus of bars,
the whole of the machinery worked by steam
_power—
together with ample storehouses, workshops, S.nd offices, and
cottages for twenty-five families.
The buildings are of a more substantikl-kind than is usual
for such purposes in England, and the machinery, which is
constructed with all recent improv,,,ment, is in excellent
,
only.
condition, having been used for a 'port time
The deposit ot iron ore belo;orkg. to the works is practi-
ery pure quality, of the sime
cally inexhaustible ; it is of v
composition as the clay bar.a of the coal measures, and con-
tains from forty-two clay fr,rty-four percent. of iron according
to the analysis of Dr. Percy, of the Government School of
Mines in London. &s this mass of ore lies open to the day
it is worked withold the expense of sinking shafts, pump-
ing, &c.
The fuel employed being half wood charcoal and half peat,
entirely free (rum sulphur and phosph :rus, plates and all
other desc,:iptions of the finest quality are manufactured.
The exte',lsive 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 requisite fuel at
a cb.'eap rate.
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 there is
an extens:ve demand throughout Germany, at a price which
will leave a large profit.
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 chips can br manufactured.
For the conveyance 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 line, branch and
sidings connecting the work with the Hanover and Bremen
line, and thus with all parts of Germany.
The works are erected upon about fifty acres (65 Morgen)
of freehold land, and there is also a copyhold farm of 172
Morgen (about 130 acres) on which the Iron ore Is worked
under concession, comprising also a farm house and home-
stead for the tenant.
Six hundred and fifty tons of Puddle Iron and about
twenty mill: on pieces ,f dried peat remain upon the property,
and will be included in the puschase.
In consequence of the excessive outlay made by the Com-
pany who established the works, together with the mercan-
tile depression at that period, financial difficulties brought
them to a stand. The whole is now offered at a very low
price of £lBo,ooo—being less than half the original cost.
The Company, now purchasing the Works, may at once Commence business, avolfling the delays necessarily attendant
on the first erection of works of such magnitude, and there-
fore with a prospect of an early dividend.
An experienced resident Manager will be sent from Eng-
land.
Upon this total capital of £230,000, with the extensions
proposed, Mr. Hedley, alter carefully estimating the cost of
produltion, and on the supposition that the present high
protective duties of the Zollverain on foreign iron are repealed
(which is not expected for years to come) shows a clear profit
of upwards of 20 per cent. With the first issue of 7,500 shares,
representing a capital of £150,000, the works can be started to
produce 1,200 tons of bars, and 4,500 tons of plates annually ;
and after paying intzrest at the rate of 5 per cent on the
mortgage of £50,000, a dividend of 11 per cent. may be realised.
There is also a considerable item of profit in rat
press rails
of the German and Austrian railways, which at present are
sent to the Westphalian Iron Works, w.th a carriage of 303
miles beyond Neustadt,
The addittonal furnaces for manufacturing coke iron, re-
commended by Mr. Hedley, and for which the unissued shares
will be called, will be postponed for the present.
The prospective reduction in the cost of ore to ss. per ton,
and
when the line from Ringleheim to Hildesheim is constructed,
to the profits. the mixture of coke iron, will add about £6,0!)0 annually

Sportsmen will find this an invaluable remedy for destroy-
ing Fleas in their Dogs, as also Ladies for their Pet Dogs.

in the Immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at Ring's-cross.

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, R.G.
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 Hoard feel it theirimperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public distressingd support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the cases that
daily present themselves.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
he beginning of the year 1860, the Royai National Lifeboat
Institution has expended 432,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of England. Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800 ;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-eartiages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from ine
British public during the past few years, a sup:Yet which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.
