ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing
and working the well-known deposits of Phosphate of
Lime, situated at the Island of Sombrero, in the West
Indies, and at Logrosan, in Estremadura ; thus avoiding
the serious competition that would necessarily arise if the
two properties were in the hands of parties having antago-
nistic interests.
' The business is fully organised, and in active operation;
and the benefit of existing contracts for the delivery of
nearly 10,000 tons of Phosphate during the next six months
will be transferred with the lease of the property to the
Company; and it is estimated that the profit upon thes
contracts will be upwards of £15,000—thus giving a sub-
stantial guarantee for the payment of an early dividend.
Further contracts of an equally profitable nature for deli-
very of upwards of 30,000 tons, during the next six years,
have been entered into, and these contracts will also bo
transferred by the present proprietors to the Comp r Pany.
The consumption of Superphosphate, and othe hos-
phatic Manures in the United Kingdom, is estimated at
from 200,000 to 300,000 tons annually, and that quantity
is probably not applied to one-tenth part of the land which
would be benefited by its use.
To the Agricultural interest the further developmentim
of
these deposits of Phosphate of Lime is of the greatest
portance ; whilst, as a commercial enterprise, the under-
taking promises to be most successful. The profit from
Sombrero Island alone can be confidently estimated to pro-
duce more than 15 per cent. on the capital to be called up
for its purchase and working ; and as the development of
the Estremadura quarries proceeds, the Directors anticipate
a largely increased ratio of dividend from that source. The
the
present undertaking will virtually have a monopoly of
market, for there are no other similar deposits of e
there
will, therefore, be no serious competition.
Applications for shares must be forwarded to the bankers
of the Company, with the deposit of £1 per share. If the
number of shares allotted be less titan the number applied.
dited
for, the deposit paid will, so far as necessary, b cred
towards the payment due on allotment. Should no allot-
ment be made the deposit will be returnedlan in full.

continent, while England had enjoyed uninterrupted
peace. This was not owing to one or to another,
but to the careful working of the Constitution under
which we lived. There was another point he would
refer to, and that was the increasing intelligence of
the working classes, and that might be mainly attri-
buted to what was called the fourth estate—the
newspaper press. Of the power Of that press the
people largely availed themselves, and this operated
more practically for their benefit than any Parlia-
mentary representation could do, even if universal
suffrage were accorded to them. (Cheers.). Mr.
Smith then said he should always be ready to pro-
mote the local interests of the city of Westminster,
and concluded a very long address by declaring that
he would not enter Parliament other than as an in-
dependent man, unpledged to any leader or any
party; but with a full determination to do his duty
according as God had given him ability and power
to understand it. (Cheers.)
Lord INGESTRE, after expressing his warm ap-
proval of the opinions which had been declared by
Mr. Smith, and saying that he should prefer having
that gentlemanhis representative than his friend Mr.
Grosvenor, who, while speaking Conservatism, would
vote Radicalism, moved the following resolution:—
" That this meeting having heard with satisfaction. Mr.
Smith's exposition of his political principles pledge them-
selves to use their utmost exertions to secure his return as
one of the representatives for the city of Westminster."
The Hon. ROBERT GRIMSTON seconded the reso-
lution.

The chairman put the question to a show of hands,
when more than two-thirds of the meeting were in
favour of its adoption.
The meeting then ended.
