THE RIVER MOLE PASSING THROUGH IT,

abundaatly supplied with fish. The pleasure-grounds and plan-
tation walks are very extensive, and so fruitful in American
plants and evergreens, that winter appears estranged from this do-
micile. The Kitchen-gardens are most abundant ; the Hot-
houses and Green-house well placed ; and an Ice-house hard
by. The residence, it may be well to observe, was erected
in the olden times, when substantiality and comfort were
both voted essentials. It is in excellent order, although it is not
pretended to deny that a purchaser may have the benefit of distin-
gui2Agg l,naself, and manifesting his taste, by a little ornamental
renovation in the interior. There is
A SPLENDID CONSERVATORY
which adorns the South Front,
MEASURING EIGHTY-TWO FEET,
and adding, not a little, to the consequence of the place. The
Estate is altogether
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX ACRES,
of which the Park and Plantations are about sixty-eight acres, all
lying together, and including " The Rice-bridge Dairy Farm."
The quality of the soil is exceedingly rich ; between two and
three loads of hay per acre may be accounted an average crop.
The situation of the property is so familiar to every one,
that it would be superfluous to say mush. Nothing can exceed the
variety and interest of the surrounding scenery ; indeed this very
district has long been entitled one of
" THE GARDENS OF ENGLAND."

Its easy access to the Metropolis and Brighton will not be underva-
lued. If ennui should ever dare to intrude at Wonham, a remedy is
at hand—the projected railway will so reduce the time, as to par-
take of the gaiety of Brighton or London in little more than an
hour. It may not be amiss, by way of reminder, to state that field
sports may be enjoyed to a great degree, and the interesting
THE DERBY AND OAKS

come off within five or six miles. Such is a faint outline. The
intermediate space will be made out more satisfactorily by seeking
ocular demonstration.

The Quarries belonging to this Company are the Manod Slate
Quarry and the Llanbedr Slate and Slab Quarry. The former is
situated on the Manod Mountains, near Festeneay, and contains
200 Acres, and the latter is within a mile, or thereabouts, of Bar-
mouth, and contains 156 a. 2R. 35r., and both are in the county of
Merioneth, and in full operation. Specimens of the Slate have
been shown to Sir John Soane, and most of the principal archi-
tects in the Metropolis; and they have stated their opinions to be
that the Slate is of a very superior quality, and such as they should
feel justified in recommending to their friends, and the public may
inspect the Slate at the Company's Wharf, Old Barge-house Wharf,
Upper Ground-street, Surrey side of Westminster-bridge, on appli-
cation to Mr. Robert Adams, the Company's Agent, who resides
on the premises.
This undertaking, therefore, offers an early, certain, and ♦ery
profitable investment, on the following grounds :-
Ist. Because the quality of the Slate has been attested by most
of the leading architects in the Metropolis, and they have promised
to recommend it.

2d. Because its quantity has been satisfactorily ascertained by
actual working. . . . . .

3d. Because all speculative outlay has been already made, and
the Quarries are now at work, and ready for increased operations,
and the Company's connections are formed.
4th. Because the returns will be in the exact ratio of the expen-
diture—that is, the expense of raising slates being estimated, and
paid by the.l,ooo, or ton, fit for markot, no useless expenditure can
be incurred.

sth. Because of the great and increasing demand for the article
in this country and abroad, and of the supply being so limited.
It is unknown to what extent profit may be obtained, but a
dividend of 12 per cent. may be confidently expected, and the
profits will be gradually increased as the Quarries become more
opened.
The existing Proprietary have hitherto conducted the affairs of
the Company with a paid up capital of 18,0001., in 360 Shares,
at 501. each ; but finding from their operations that the Quar-
ries, if worked upon an enlarged scale, would produce more than
a corresponding return, they have resolved upon -a conversion of
their Shares into Si. Shares, and upon an issue of 5,600 new
Shares of similar amount ; the present Proprietors, therefore,
now hold 14,400 Shares of Si. each, upon which the first instal-
ment of 25 Shillings per Share has been paid. As, however, the
Quarries have been brought to their present promising condition by
the money, exertions, and judgment of the present Proprietors, it
has been resolved to equalise the rights and interests of the Old
and New Shareholders, by reserving to the former the exclusive
right to the premium of 15 Shillings per Share ; in consideration
of which the New Shareholders will participate in the Company's
present assets, their stock of Slates, and the greatly improved state
of the Quarries.
The New Shareholders will have to execute a deed, binding
them to the rules and provisions of the deed of settlement, and the
rules and regulations resolved upon pursuant thereto.
It is expressly provided in the deed of settlement that Share.
holders shall not be liable beyond the amount of their subscriptions.
