It having been represented from the most respectable quarters
that the complex machinery inseparable from a tontine would go
far to preclude the transfer of shares, and thus 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 account of the peculiar nature of the proposed plan, the
Directors (although more than sufficient applications for shares
have been received), in the conviction that the greater part of the
subscribers look less to the particular mode in which the capital is
raised than to the beneficial results from the application of it, have
resolved to adopt in its stead the more simple and recognised plan of
a Joint Stock Company.
Under these circumstances the Directors feel it right to extend
the period for receiving applications for shares on the altered plan
until Saturday, the 30th of June.
Applications to be addressed to the Directors of the Fleetwood
Company' at 11, King William-street, city, where prospectuses and
any further information may be obtained.

The Directors regret that in consequence of an unavoidable delay
in preparing Certificates for Shareholders, it will be impossible to
deliver them as contemplated on the 6th instant ; the Certificates
will, however, be prepared by the 15th instant, and will be simul-
taneously delivered in London and Paris.
The Directors with much pleasure inform the Shareholders that
they have received a most satisfactory report from the Engineer of
the Company, stating that granite pavements in the United States
at present cost 3s. 4d., and the ordinary flag-stone 2s. 4d. per foot,
which, as is well known, would, in this country, cost only from
10d. to Is. 2d. per foot, and as the expense of transporting the
Asphalte of Seyssel to the United States is about the same as to
England, the prospects of this Company seem to offer increased and
additional advantages.
By order of the Directors,
HENRY LE SOUEF, Secretary.
