The object of the ‘f LANGUIN COAL and IRON COM-
PANY" is to manufacture Pig and Bar Iron with Coke, instead
of the method at present pursued 'in France, of making it with
charcoal.

It is well known that iron made with charcoal, besides being un-
!uited for general purposes, cannot be manufactured except at a
considerable cost—hence the high protecting duties imposed on
Foreign Iron entering France. These duties, and the fast increas-
ing consumption of Iron made by means of Coal in that coun-
try, in Railroads, Steim-engines, Gas and Water Pipes, are the
best guarantees f the present prices for Iron being maintained.
There is no probability of even a partial reduction of the duties ;
each attempt to effect it has failed, as a very great amount of French
capital ig embarked in the manufacture of Charooal Iron, and in
which a large nlajority of the French Chamber of Deputies are
more or less interested.

' This Company has purchased the Languin Freehold Estate and
Colliery for the very moderate sum of 24,0001., consisting of 135
English acres, Buildings, Machinery, Plant, &c., and the Royalty
concession of fourteen square miles, or 8,960 acres, which offers ad-
vantages lardy to ba met with in France.
The Colliery has been worked for a number of years, and is now
in extensive operation, and the Coal is at present raised at. ss. per
ton. The fullest investigation, by practical men, has satisfied the
Directors of the extent of the Coal-field, and experience proves
that as a Colliery alone an ample income may be realised.
On the Property, and in the immediate neighbourhood, Iron
Ore ieso abundant, 'that no limit can be fixed to the supply, and
contracts can be made, by which the Ore can be raised, and deli-
vered at the furnace for Three Shillings per Ton. This will appear
to be an immense advantage to the Company, when contrasted
with the fact, that frpm 14s. to 28s.,is the cost price to the different
Iron Works in this country for the supply of the same material.
The Estimates have been gone into with the greatest care, and
submitted to the examination of practical Miners and Iron Masters,
who have no doubt that Pig Iron may be made at a cost not exceed-
ing 2/. nd Bar Iron 5/. per Ton ; whilst the selling price of Pig
Iron in France, (the duty on which is from 31. 10s. to 6/. ), is 13/. ;
and Bar Iron, (the duty being from 101. to 14/. ), is 241.:—The
estimate of cost may appear low, compared with the probable sel-
ling price, and the profit consequently enormous, unless the advan-
tages which operate in favour of the Company are considered, viz.
the high protecting Duties—the very low cost of Mineral—its
abundance in the neighbourhood Of suitable coal—and the low price
of labour in France—it follows that Iron may be manufactured at
considerably less cost than even in tins country ; whilst the selling
price is nearly double. Makin. full allowance for unforeleen con
tingencies, upon a moderate calculation, a profit of Forty per Cent.
may confidently be expected.
Application for Shares to be made by let4er (post-paid), addressed
to the Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Company, 69,
Cornhill, where the Prospectuses, Estimates, and Reports, may
be had. •

NATIONAL COGNAC.. BRANDY DIS-
TILLERY COMPANY.
The Directors beg to call the attention of the Public to the fol-
lowing Certificates, which they have been induced to procure for
the satisfaction of the Shareholders and the Public, and to sanction
their own confident recommendation of their BRANDY.

Such undoubted and unbiassed opinions, given by the eminent
Gentlemen whose Certificates have been obtained, cannot fail to do
away with all undue influence which has been, and is still likely to
be used, to prej Lidice and detract from the character of the BR ANDY
now ready for delivery.
The Directors vouch that the Certificates have been given, not
from Samples furnished to, but from quantities taken from the
Store Vats by the parties themselves,thereby insuring the
Public-from any thing like deception, and the article from false
character.

The price of the BRANDY, of the highest legal strength, either
Pale or Brown, will be 18s. per Gallon, for cash on delivery, in
quantities of not less than Two Galions.—A liberal Discount to
the Trade. HENRY STOKES, Manager.
