PROSPECTUS.

The Star and Garter at Richmond has a world-wide cele-
brity. This is due not only to its situation, but also to its
high reputation for tavern and entertainment purposes
Standing on the summit of the hill at the very entrance to
the park, with the far-famed view of the Thames beneath,
and surrounded by the Petersham woods, its situation is
confessedly unsurpassed, whilst the large and increasing
business testifies to the high repute in which the house itself
is held.
The business hitherto done has been almost entirely con-
fined to that of a tavern. So frequent, however, have been
the inquiries by persons of rank and distinction for sleeping and veneral hotel .ccommodation that the present proprie-
tors have long had it in contemplation to meet this want by
adding to the present s ructure.
To do this and to make such alterations in the building as
the requirements of the present day would render necessary,
if the Star and Garter is to maintain its status and charac-
ter, will involve an expenditure beyond the measure of Ili-
Vate enterprise.
The object of forming this Company is to meet this diffi-
culty—purchase the interest of the present proprietors, and
make such alterations and additions to the Property as will
not only ensure the prestige of the house being kept up, but
still further add to its high character.
Tbe peculiar formation of the ground affords opportunity
for dierracing and doubting the area, and thus materially in-
creasing the facilities for enjoying the natural beauties of the
alt ,nation.
The property will be conveyed to the company as freehold,
an advantage of no ordinary kind, and will carry with it the
good-will and connection of a business already in existence,
and unsurpassed by any establishment of a similar kind at
home or abroad.
The terms upon which the property will be acquired are
such as the t irectoricwith the aid of competent professional
advice, believe to be ;dike mcderate and advantageous to the
Company. The furniture and the stock in trade, inc uding
a cellar of choice v ines will be taken at a valuation.
Mr. J. E. Colernan, will
the firm of Coleman, Turquand.
Youngs, and Co., has gone fully into the details, and has sa-
tisfied himself of the merits of the project, and will act per-
sonally as the company's auditor.
It has been felt to be highly important in the interests of
the shareholders to keep identified with the house the present
connection including as it does noblemen and families of the
'ighest ch'aracter and position, and many of the City come
parries and guilds of London. With this view, arrangements
have been made with Mr. George Ellis, one of the present
Proprietors, to act as managing director of the Company for
a 'period of two years, if desired so to do. This fact, a •ded to
the presence of ter. Staples at the board, will ensure more
Than ordinary attention to the details of practical manage-
tient.
Again it has been felt to be important to guard against any
Intezference with the current business during the time the
contemplated additions to the building arc in progress, and
these works (which will occupy, a limited period only) will
accordingly be so conducted, under the direction of Mr. Ed-
'Ward M. Barry, the Company's architect, es to obviate the no-
cessity of a single day's interference with that business.
The proposed additions, which will be more especially de-
signed for hotel purposes, and have a distinct entrance, will
consist of additional wings, containing r etween 60 and 70
rooms, and will be so constructed as to allow of further ex-
tension from time to time as occasion may require. The esti-
Mated cost of the new wings, together with the alterations
and improvements in the existing building, is £60,000, for
'which expenditure such an amount of comfort and accommo-
dation will be secured to visitors, whether in large or small
Parties, as cannot fail to be attractive, and produce far more
than an equivalent for the outlay involved. The whole of the
works—which it is proposed to commence forthwith—will be
of a plain and substantial character, without needless outlay
for purposes of decoration.
Starting as this company does with a building already
erected, and a first-class and highly remunerative business
connected with that building, the shareholders will have ad-
vantages not usually met with in undertakings of this de-
scription ; an immediate income will for Instance be forth-
coming without wattincr, for the erection of the Hotel and the
subsequent establishment of a business.
The profits of the current business will allow of the pay-
ment of a fair dividend upon the proposed capital ; and it is
not too much to anticipate that when the contemplated addi-
tions and improvements have been made, the profits will be
such as to ensure the payment of large dividends.
As the profits of the current business afford a legitimate
fund for the payment of interest upon the sums received
from shareholders, without entrenching upon capital,
interest at the rate of £5 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls from the day of payment.
The same rate of interest will be allowed on shares paid up
in ital.
No fees to promoters or "promotion money " in any form
has been or will be paid.
The present proprietors have agreed to accept in shares of
the Company one-fourth part of the purchase-money, and a
further considerable amount of the capital has already been
otherwise subscribed. Applications for shares to be made in
the form annexed to the prospectus, with tne deposit of Li
er share to the bankers, Me, srs. Ransom Bouverie, and Co.,

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY 0---f
the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon_
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge
and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks,
'
Stratford-upon-Avon • Messrs. Greenway, Smith, and
Greenway, Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs.
Smith, Payne. and Co., Messrs. Hanburys and Co., or Messrs.
Glyn and Co., bankers, London.
The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare. but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
Ir.)me, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL. Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross:

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.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-
mnied 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 afiords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
~I(I,ARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
pable the emsmit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily presentives.
