The system which has hitherto prevailed throughout the British
West India Colonies, of having a separate set of works for each
sugar estate, however small, and of having the cultivation of the
cane, the manufacture of the sugar, and the distillation of the rum,
all superintended by one person, is universally admitted to be both
imperfect and expensive.
To remove the difficulties in the way of an Improved system, her
Majesty's Government has incorporated by Royal Charter " The
British West India Company," with snch powers as will enable it to
afford to the planters all the aid they can require. The Charter con-
fers authority to establish manufactories and distilleries in any part
of the British West India Colonies : to open communication by roads
or otherwise between the plantations and manufactories ; to hire,
purchase, and let land for sugar cultivation. &c.
By the charter no call can exceed bl. per share, and there must be
an interval of at least three months between the calls.
Shareholders are at liberty to pay the Hill amount of their subscrip-
tions (or any part) before calls are made, being allowed interest
thereon not exceeding five per cent.

Cal's will only be made as the Directors are enabled to enter into
favourable arrangements for carrying out the arrangements of the
Company ; and no arrangement will be considered favourable but
such u will secure an ample remuneration to the shareholder.
The applications for shares being numerous and satisfactory, the
allotment has commenced and will be continued until further notice.
Applications to be addressed " To the British West India Com-
pany." 61, Moorgate-street, London, the temporary offices of the
Company, where any further information required will be readily
granted.
