This Company is formed for the purpose of acquiring and
extenclirt the well-k.town Ironworks, which have been ea;a-
blished and in successful operation fur a long period at
Vuickss, in Russia.
The Estate, which covers an arel of 405,00 , i'nglish acres,
and contains 35.000 inhabitants, Is most adv ,ta eously
situ‘ted on the navigab:e river Oka (whi•-h flows into the
Volga at Nijni gnv;orod), and is witoin 66 mile of the rai.-
rot, t which connects N Int Novgorod with Moscow.
The Estate possesses an in?xhaustible supply f Iron Ore
of superior quality, yielding an average of 45 per cent., and
the Works, which are now in operation and in good order,
consist of—

6 Blast Furnaces.
2? Refining Furnaces.
17 Puddling. Furnaces.
15 Rolling Mills, for all kind of Merchant Iron, Sheet Iron,
au Iron Wire.
a Gorge Hammers for Sheet Iron.
125 Wire Mills
1 Pactory for making. all kiwis of Steam Engines.
3 Smaller Factories tor Repairing,- Engines.
1 Large Boiler Factory, for making Steam Boilers and
steamboats.
6 Foundries
dPactori a for making Scythes, Nails, &c.
Brio guns.
Powe
The above are worked by 72 water wheels, of 1,050 horse
r, besides 15 steam engines, of 478 horse power.
a nd
270,000 acres of the Estate are covered with valuable
--er and this supply of fuel, coupled with the abundance
cheapness of labour, has enabled the Proprietors to
produce Iron at a much less cost than in England,
whilst
the It? selling price in Russia is more than double what is in
equal s country, as the production within the empire is not
eular !I:iut3lsi)e demand, and Foreign Iron (except of a parti-
dut is kept out of competition by the high import
and cost of transport.

pro

witu,s; on an estimate of the profits at the present time, and
'Lout considering the improvements likely to result from
an increase of capital, a dividend of about 20 per cent. per
Tilium is shown upon the capital (4165,000) required to be
ed ell In the above estimate no account has been taken

" !m'Y-seven years, when the interest of the Company will
ease, the wh amount of the caital up. On the
termination Ole of the lease the Propprietorscalled bind themselves
to have a valuation made of all the property above ground,
and, after deducting the present value, to pay to the Com-
pany one-half of the difference in cash.' Thus, in addition
receiving a highly remunerative dividend during the
IPty-seven years, at the end of that time the whole of
`'neir Capital will be returned to the Shareholders with a
considerable Bonus.
It is believed that the Russian Government will grant a
concession for the construction of a railroad to pass through
the Estate, and connect the Nijni Novgorod and Moscow
line with Riazan and Toula, which, as will be seen from
the map accompanying the prospectus, is the centre of a
group of Russian railways now in course of construction,
and is situated in the midst of the most flourishing manu-
facturing districts of the empire.
Plans of the Estate and Works, the engineer's report,
and other documents on which the above statements are
founded, may be inspected at the offices of the Company.
Applications foi Shares to be made in the accompany-
ing form. In the event of no allotment being made, the.
deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of
Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be
made available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may
