This Company is formed for the purpose of acquiring and
extendinz the well-known Ironworks, which have been esta-
blished and in successful operation for a long period at
Vuicksa, in Russia.
The Estate, which covers an area of 405,001 English acres,
and contains 35,000 inhabitants, is most adv nta,..eously
situated on the navigable river Oka (which flows into the
Volga at Nijni Novgorod), and is within 66.milei of the rail-
Theroahich connects Nijni Novgorod with Moscow.
Estate possesses an inexhaustible supply of 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
5 Blast Furnaces.
22 Refining Furnaces.
17 Puddling Furnaces.
15 Rolling Mills, for all kind of Merchant Iron, Sheet Iron,
azd Iron Wire.
8 Large Hammers for Sheet Iron.
125 Wire Mills
1 Factory for making all kinds of Steam Engines.
3 Smaller Factories for Repairing Engines.
1 Large Boiler Factory, for making Steam Boilers and
Steamboats.
ti Foundries.
3 Factories for making Scythes, Nails, eze.
6 Brick Kilns.
The above are worked by 72 water wheels, of 1,050 horse
power, besides 15 steam engines, of 478 horse power.
270,000 acres of the Estate are covered with valuable
timber • and this supply of fuel, coupled with the abundance
and cheapness of labour, has enabled the Proprietors to
produce Iron at a much less cost than in England, whilst
the selling price in Russia is more than double what it is in
this country, as the production within the empire is not
equal to the demand, and Foreign Iron (except of a parti-
cular class) is kept out of competition by the high import
duty and cost of transport.
The price at which the Company's interest in the pro-
perty, as defined below, has been conditionally acquired, is
the sum of £60,000, in addition to which, an estimated sum
of £35,000 will be required to pay off existing charges on
the property, and it is calculated that the sum of £70,000
will be required for working capital, making together
£165,000, which is the whole amount proposed to be called
up.

The profits at the present time amount to about 537,000
silver roubles (about £70,000 sterling) per annum, subject,
however, to a reduction of 72,000 roubles, being interest
at 5 per cent., and sinking fund on a debt of 1,200,000
roubles due to the Russian Government, thus leaving a
net annual profit of 465,000 roubles (X 60,000). By ar-
rangement with the Proprietors, and hypothecation or
Mortgage to the Company of their reserved interest in the
Estate, 87,000 troubles (X 11,000), being about 7 per cent.
Per annum upon the whole capital proposed to be called up,
is guaranteed to be first paid to the Shareholders of the
uoinpa:
Z 49
; of the surplus profits (378,000 roubles, or
,000), three-fifths will belong to the present Proprietors,
-and two-fifthsto the Shareholders, for a period of 37 years.
Thus, on an estimate of the profits at the present time, and
without considering the improvements likely to result from
an increase of capital, a dividend of about 20 per cent. per
annum is shown'upon the capital (X 165,000) required to be
called up. In the above estimate no account has been taken
boil ers, &c.,
of the profits upon the manufacture of steam engines,
of
and it is anticipated that by the introduction further capital and the development of the works, the
returns will be more than doubled.
9.freturning
_lt is intended to create a Sinking Fund for the purpose
to tho Shareholders, at the expiration of the
p..luirtY-seven years, when the interest of the Company will
a-aBu, the whole amount of the capital called up. On the
~e,tinirraination of the lease the Proprietors bind themselves
'''';',utye a valuation made of all the property above ground,
panean'Ll after deducting the present value to pay to the Com-
to one-half of the difference in cash'. Thus, in addition
seven years,

thirty
a highlydividend during the
their . tth nd of that time the whole of a e e
Capital will be returned to the Shareholders with a
considerable Bonus.
It is believed that the Russian Government will grant a
Ithoconcession for the construction of a railroad to pass through
Estate, and connect the Nijni Novgorod and Moscow
the
e with Riazan and Toula, which, as will be seen from
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.

and other documents on which the above statements are
founded,

DR. SCOTT'S LIVER AND BILIOUS
PILLS.—A NEVER FAILING RESIEDY.—Pre-
Pared without any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe of Dr.
Scott, of Bromley, _Kent, will be found invaluable to all who
suffer from bilious and liver complaints, inligestlcn, wind,
spasms, giddiness, dizziness of the eyes, &a. For habitual
costiveness, as a family aperient medicine, and as a -purifier
of the blood, they are truly excellent; mild in their opera-
`ion and grateful to the stomach, they create appetite, pro-
mote digestion, and strengthen the whole nervous system.
