Temporary Offices—Nos. 17 and 18, Cornhill,

This Company is incorporated for the purpose of supply-
ing, under circumstances peculiarly advantageous to the
Shareholder; the Feat demand for wharves, sites for manu-
factories, ship-buddin
the port of London, which g yards, the natural increase of trade,
and graving docks within
combined with the removal of existing water frontage by
the formation of the Thames Emban.kment, and other me-
tropolitan improvements, has created.
The Company is incorporated by a special Act of Parlia-
ment passed last session, by which is obtained power to
acquire a large tract of land at Millwall, consisting of up-
wards of 198 acres of freehold land adjoining the East and
West India Docks. This land will be rendered available
for, the purposes above-mentioned, by the construction
within its area of large docks or basins, with access for the
largest vessels both from Blackwall and Limehouse
Reaches ; so that the deep water frontage thus created by
the works will become immediately valuable in the highest
degree for wharves, granaries, manufactories, ship-building
yards, and similar purposes ; and, from the water being
always kept at high level, the saving of time and cost in
all operations of lighterage, loading and unloading, which
may be effected without respect to tides, will render this
site far more valuable than land abutting on the Thames
itself.
The proposed works will also include the construction
of public Graving Docks of the largest dimensions, capable
of receiving vessels of even greater size than H.M. iron-
clad ship Warrior, and of accommodating H.M. frigate
Northumberland, now building on the premises of the
Millwall Ironworks, immediately adjoining this Company's
property. It is a remarkable fact that for the immense
mercantile fleet of the Port of London there is but one
public graving dock on the Thames of sufficient capacity
to take in a vessel of even ordinary dimensions. All the
other graving docks are in the hands of private builder;
who require to execute the works and repairs themselves ;
and it is therefore not unusuallor ships to be sent from the
Thames to Southampton, and even to Liverpool, to be
docked for repairs.
From the circumstance of the area proposed to be occu-
pied lying on an average about ten feet below high-water
mark, the works will be executed with unusual facility,
the material excavated being used to raise the adjoining
land to a convenient level above high-water.
The main roads which traverse the site of the proposed
works afford good access to them ;and application is being
made to Parliament in the present session by the _
Black-
wall Railway, Company for an extension of the Blackwall
and North London Railway systems, by which direct
railway communication will be .afforded for the whole of
the Company's works, wharves, and docks with the entire
railway system of England.
As a Land Company, the present undertaking has enor-
mous advantages from the unusual ample powers granted
by its special Act of Parliament, by means of which it will
become possessed, after appropriating about 56 acres for
the Docks and Graving Docks, of upwards of 140 acres,
with a water frontage of more than 10,000 feet, and from.
400 to 800 feet in depth—the whole of which, on comple-
tion of the Docks, will become immediately available for
letting, on building leases at freehold ground-rents. Be
sides this source of revenue, estimated to produce upwards
of £50,000 per annum, the Company will also derive a
further large income of about £40,000 per annum, the rents
of the Graving Dock; and from dues and charges from the
docks, basins, wharves, &c., making a total estimated re-
venue of £90,000 per annum.
In calculating the estimate of dividends very much will
depend upon the mode found most practicable in dealing
with the income of the Company ; if the ground-rents
should be capitalised and sold as they accrue, and taking
them at- thirty years' purchase, it is estimated that
within a period of five years the capital, including the ad-
ditional amount intended to be applied for to complete the
works, will have been repaid, with a bonus of upwards of
75 per cent., and the revenue of the docks and royalties and
dues still be available for dividend to the Shareholders ;
should, however, the whole rentals and revenues be main-
tained in hand, a dividend (after providing for expenses,
interest on debentures, &c.) may fairly bo looked for at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and, when it is considered
that the greater part of this is from freehold ground-rents,
the valuable description of the property this Company pos-
sesses will be at once apparent. •
The Directors have much pleasure in being able to an-
nounce that the whole of the works will be undertaken by
Messrs. Kelk and Aird, the eminent Contractors, and that
a contract for the first portion to be executed has been
entered into with them, and arrangements made for the
payment by them of interest during construction of the
works at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the Share
capital paid up by instalments, and of 7 per cent. per an-
num on all Shares applied for and allotted as fully paid-up
Shares. The interest will be payable at Messrs. Glyn and.
Co.'s Bank, half-yearly, on 31st March and 30th Septem-
ber in each year. The first payment will be made 30th
September, 1865.
It is believed that so sound a scheme, and one which so
specially addresses itself to the investor, is seldom brought
hobefld land and ground-rents removes from it all character
of speculation, so often the leading feature in public com-
anies ; and as a British and home security it will doubt-
less be appreciated by those 'who, while expecting good
profits upon their investments, yet look for solid security

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
Tne Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss ef life at sea, and to enable them
even ually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
saqors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war
Subscriptions thankfully received by the bankers, Messrs.
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre-
tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Cornhill.
