The extraordinary success which the introduction of asphaltum has
met with on the continent, together with the enormous premiums which
the shares of the foreign asphaltum Companies bear, and the high divi-
dends which the proprietors are realizing, fully justify the introduction
of a similar article in this country. In the metropolis, where extensive
trials of Asphalte pavement have been made, there are already many
Companies in existence for the purpose of its general introduction; but to
no town in the kingdom will the employment of this material be more
valuable than to Birmingham.

The absence of flagged footpaths in many of the principal and most
of the other streets of Birmingham has long, in the estimation of visi-
tors, been a great drawback to the general appearance of the town. The
scarcity, and consequently the high price of flag-stone, is the cause of
this great defect, to remedy which, and for the introduction of this
valuable material, for the many purposes to which it is applicable, is the
object of this Company.

Its tenacity when first made enables it to be applied in every form for
the purposes of building, roofing, flooring terraces, footways, the con-
struction of water tanks, and to most other purposes to which stone,
slate, cement, &c., have been used. It effectually resists atmospheric
heat, cold, damp, water, &c., and can be manufactured at a much cheaper
rate than any cement yet discovered.

It is proposed at the commencement of the operations of the Company
to use the Foreign Asphalte, but it has been satisfactorily ascertained
by experiments that material containing all the properties of the Foreign
Asphalte is found in great abundance in England, and a portion of it
in the vicinity of Birmingham.

As soon as the shares are disposed of, and deposits paid, a Meeting of
the Shareholders will be convened to appoint Directors. Should the
whole of the shares not be disposed of, the deposits will be returned in
full.

Applications for shares to be made, post paid, to the Secretary, care of
Messrs. Ingleby and Wragge, and to Messrs. Woad and Ellis, Corbett-
court, Gracechurch.strect, London, of whom prospectuses may be had.
