yearly increased; and it is ascertained that the annual value of the
various kinds of pottery amounts to 1,500,0001. The exports have
men in declared value from 437,81 W. in 1827, to 8:37,774/. in 1836.
The present Company, by having a cheaper access to the raw
materials, and by other facilities which the vicinity of London
presents, will be enabled to supply every description of pottery at
less expense, and thereby largely to increase the consumption of this
essential article of domestic ornament and convenience.
The chief ingredients employed in the composition of pottery are
clay and flint. The first is obtained from Dorsetshire, Devonshire,
an,i Cornwall, whence it is shipped to Liverpool, and after an in-
land navigation of nearly fifty miles, by the Bridgewater and Grand
Trunk Canals, it reaches the Potteries. The saving in the transit
of Clay will be censiderable.t •
The carriage of ihe ware from the Potteries to London is sixty
shillings per ton, which will be entirely saved, as well as the large
deduction invariably made for breakage.
Other materials, such as cullet, zaffers, cobalt, dry white lead,
litharge, &c., are purchased in London.
The cheapness of coal in Staffordshire is the only apparent ad-
vantage which the Potteries possess over metropolitan competition;
but the sources of profit above stated will amply compensate for the
elifference in the price of this article.
The above calculations of profit have been tested by practical
mr.erience, and confirmed by personal inquiries in Staffordshire..
This undertaking is, therefore, confidently recommended to the
public as a highly profitable investment of capital, and as the means
of creating a new and valuable seat for a branch of industry which
presents a beautiful union of science and art.

Ti e object of this Company is to assist in the formation of the
commer.:al town of Fleetwood, and in the completion of the Har-
bour, Docks, and Railway now forming at the entrance of Mare-
couthe Bay, on the river Wye, in Lancashire.
For this . purpose the Proprietor has granted a large extent of
ground to the Coinpany for 1,000 years, rent free, and a right of
pre-emption of the remaining building land on the most favourable
terms.
The characteristics and advantages of the site of Fleetwood are
me re fully detailed in a prospectus, whirls may be had, as well as
any further information, at the Office of the Company. No. 11,
Kink. William-street, City, where all applications fur Shares, ad-
dresse I to the Directors, must be forwarded.
N. B. It was originally, contemplated to carry the above object into
vffect on the principle of a Tontine ; but it having been repre-
sented, from the most respectable quarters, that the complex
machinery itivparable from a Tontine would go far to preelnie the
easy transfer of Shares, and tints materially affect their marketable
value, and it having likewise become evident, in the course of the
preliminary steps taken for procuring an Act of Parliament, that
various difficulties and impediments would arise in so doing, on
aceumit of the peculiar nature of the proposed 'routine ; the Direc-
tors (although more than sufficient applications for Shares have
been received for that purpose), in the conviction that the greater
pai k o: the Subscribers look less to the particular mode in which
the LT :tat is raised than to the beneficial results from the applica-
tion ,s 0. have resolved to adopt in its stead the more simple and
recogniz,N.l plan of a Joint Stock Company, to be incorporated by
Charter 4;n• Act of Parliament.
