The Imperial Hotel Company has been formed, with Limited
Liability under the Act of last Session, forthe purpose of
building a large Hotel, on the principle of the great Hotel du
Louvre, Rue Rivoli, Paris.
Parliament having purchased a site for a new National
Gallery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc-
cupied by the Naional Gallery, Trafalgar Square, is in every
respect one of the finest and most appropriate that could bo
selected in Loudon for such an Hotel.

As investments for capital, such undertakings have proved
highly successful. The leading capitalists in Europe and
America have united in promoting them. The Great Western
Hotel in London, on the same principle, has proved to be a
highly remunerative investment ; the net profits in the last
division were 31 per cent. per annum, and the dividend was
at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum. The Shares have
about doubled in value, and, although it has not been in ope-
ration two years, it is too small to meet the daily applications
for accommodation. The profits of the IMPERIAL HOTEL, from
its superior situation and many other advantages, will be at
least equd to the most lucrative undertakings of a similar
mauve.
A Bill giving powers to the Company, with reference to the
site in Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the
House of Commons.
An instalment of 2/. per share is required to obtain com-
plete registration with limited liabi ity; bat should that or
the site not bo obtained the deposit will be returned to the
Shareholders, le -s a sum not exceeding 3s. per share on ac-
count of expenses
_ Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form,
addressed to the Brokers, Messrs. Helbert, Wagg, and Co.,
I, Shorter's-court,' Throginorton-street ; or Me srs. Barnett,
Ellis, and Co., 18, Finch-lane; or to the Secretary, 4, White-
hall; but no application will be considered unless a Deposit
of 1/. for each Share is previously made with Messrs Coutts
and Co., 59, Strand ; or Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and
Co., Lombard-street, the Bankers of the Company. This
Deposit will be carried to the credit of the instalment of 2/.
per Share payable after allotment, and will be repaid in the
event of the application not being acceded to ; and no further
call will be made until the agreements for the purchase of the
site have been settled.
