The deficiency of Hotel accommodation in India, China,
and other places in the East to—whicliEuropeans now resort
in large and annually increasing numbers, is a subject of
general compl ; and it is evident that the development
of the means of transir by ocean and river steamers, and by
railways, which has been in rapid progress now for some
years, must imperfectly fulfil all Ps important objects, so far
as European intercourse with the East is conc,rned, until
thi s want f adequately supplied.
In England, and on the unntinent of Europe, it is now an
ascertained fact that the joint-stock system may most suc-
cessfully be applied to the establishment of Hotels of the
first class. If this be so where good private Hotels before
existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt
that an equal degree of commercial success is attainable by
the application of capital, upon the same system, to the same
object, in countries where, though the demand is great and
increasing, it may almost be said that good private Hotels
do not exist.
In Calcutta a joint-stock company has lately purchased
and undertaken the management of an Hotel, and the pro-
spects of the entererise, as a commercial speculation, may be
inferred from the very high premium at which their shares
are quoted in the Calcutta market, see "Times" July 17, the
"Englishman's Weekly Mail" of June 8, 1863, and "Allen's
Indian Mail," viz., £25 paid, present value, £42/ ex div.,
equal to 70 per cent. premium, and the payment of a dividend
of 10 per cent. for the half-year ending 30th April last, equal
to 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for
the establishment of an Hotel of a firs* class character. The
early completion of vast lines of railway converging in the
island of Bombay, and the more frequent steam communica-
tion between that pert and Europe which will soon talc.-
place, must very much increase the demand for such accom-
modation. The same may be said of Madras.
It is under these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels
Company (Limited) is established, in the confident belief that
the application of European capital to India in this form will
not be less profitable than useful. It is proposed, in the first
instance, to supply the urgent requirements of Bombay •-dini
Point de Gayle. There are equally important places
will naturally engage the early attention of the r 0 which
such for example as Madras, Singapore, and Ku cheer no
to speak of many very important railway sia4.,.tons in ethe in-
terior of India, where there are now no T;i, t
where, at a comparatively small outlay e s at all, and

for profitab' e °pet ations.
