This Company is projected for the purpose of organizing a system,
upon which the importation of Cattle and Provisions from the Con-
tinent of Europe, or elsewhere, may he carried on more extensively
and economically than it can be by Individual spe_ulation. The bu-
siness of the Company will be primarily that of importing Cattle, Sheep,
and Provisions from Holland, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Portugal,
Scotland, and any other country which presents a favourable mar-
ket; and attention will also be directed to the purchase of cured and
prepared Provisions, and Dairy, Farm-yard, and Orchard Produce,
when it can be imported with advantage.
The importation of Foreign Cattle for consumption into this coun-
try is still in its infancy ; but the rapid progress which it has already
made, gives ample assurance, not only of the great profit attending
it, but of the existence at once of a demand and supply sufficient to
afford active and lucrative employment for the rescurces of a Public
Company.
The following returns are extracted from the Official Reports of
the Board of Trade, made up the sth of January, 1848 :
A Return of Live Animals imported in the years 1845, 1846, and 1847.

The above Returns exhibit a Trade in which the transactions tip •
pear (from a moderate calculation) to have amounted during the
last year to more than a million and a halt sterling, and to have in-
creasTl in value five-fold in the short space of two two years. These
results, too, have obtained by the feeble agency and operations of
individual enterprise alone ; and if these have been profitable, how
much more so would be the organized operations of a Public Com-
pany in the same field ?
The advantage which this Company possesses, will not consist
solely in the greater extent of their resources, and the more perfect
agency under their direction, but also in the economy with which
their capital will be employed. By proper arrangements with re-
spectable houses abroad, they will be able, with a comparatively
limited capital, to carry on a very extensive scale of importations
from all the productive sources of supply.
The Committee have the gratification of announcing that they
have secured most eligible water-side premises, and that parties of
high character and longstanding abroad, are prepared to enter into
the necessary arrangements with the Company, and to co operate
with it in realising its anticipations of success in which they warmly
Concur.
In addition, the committee would advert to the great facilities
which the progress of steam navigation and railway traffic has at
length afforded for the vigorous and successful conduct of that
branch of international trade which this Company will curry on. A
constant and expeditious intercourse is now kept up by steam navi-
gation between the ports of London, Yarmouth, Harwich, Lowes-
toft, Great Grimsby, and hull, on this side, and the principal ports
of the continent on the other ; and from the latter railways are
diverging in every direction into the interior of the continent,
through the rich grazing districts of Holland, Hanover, Prussia,
Holstein, and other States of Germany, from which large supplies of
cattle and provisions can thus, at all times. be procured.
As an Act of Parliament will not be recuired for the incorporation
of the Company, the expenses incurred in its formation will not be
considerable, and the interests of the shareholders will be secured by
a deed of settlement, prepared by counsel, until which time all con-
tracts as to shares will be entered into by and with the secretary only
as a trustee for the Company.
The Company will commence operations as soon as a competent
number of shares are taken, and a sufficient amount paid up to ren-
der it expedient. The Committee have power to increase or diminish
the capital, and to reserve a portion of the shares for allotment at a
future period, it deemed advisable.
Applications for shares to be sent to the Secretary, at the offices
of the Company, No. 3, Lothbury, where prospectuses and forms of
application may be obtained. Also at the offices of the Solicitors to
