This Company comprises within its objects and operations
two branches of business :
(1.) A system of deep-sea fishing and the purchase and
curing of fish on the west coast of Ireland, the principal fea-
ture of the plan being the employment of 14eam-vessels as
carriers from the fishing grounds to the railways.
(2.) The manufacture of fish manure or fish guano from the
inedible fish and offal, and the extract of fish oil,
The Directors refer with gratification to the observa-
tions of the press both in England and Ireland (set forth as an
appendix to a pamphlet, which, with full detailed prospectus,
may ba had on application), expressing in the most forcible
manner favourable opinions of the undertaking, not only as
to its success in a commercial point of view, but as likely to
be beneficial to Ireland. _

As to the first branch of operations of the Company
namely, fishing and the purchase of fish, it may be stated
that the water- of the west coast of Ireland abound with the
choicest cod, turbot, soles, lobsters, and other fish, but
hitherto, owing to a variety of causes well known, these
vast resources have not been turned to profitable account
ou a large scale. The Company proposes therefore to carry
out a system of general fishing on the deep sea banks, and to
purchase fish of every description throughout the west coast
of Ireland. One of the principal features in this plan is the
employment of steam-vessels as carriers, by which the fish
will be collected daily at the several fishing stations, and
carried to tho nearest railway. These vessels, in combi-
nation with the Electric Telegraph and fast trains on the rail-
ways, added to a plentiful sap,Ay of ice, will insure a large
and regular delivery of fresh and cured fish in good condition,
within a few hours at the markets of London, Dublin, Liver-
pool, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, and all important
towns in the kingdom. . . . .

The Company's arrangements are in a sufficient state of
forwardness to justify the expectation that fishing operations
will be commenced in the month of October next.

The fleet will, in: the first instance, consist of two screw
steam carriers of about 150 tons, six welled vessels of about
90 tens, and six of about 50 tons. There will also be store
vessels for keeping fish and lobsters alive, and several boats
of from 30 to 35 feet long for seine and drift-net fishing.
A most abundant supply of marketable fish may be calcu-
lated upon, and arrangements have been made which will
insure a sale of almost any quantity. In confirmation of
this fact, the Directors refer to the document in the Appendix,
bearing the signatures of the principal fishmongers in London.
As to the second branch, namely, the manufacture of fish
manure or fish guano, oil, and glue, from the coarse and
inedible fish, and the offid -of the curing stations.
It is impossible to overrate the importance of this branch
of the business.
It is an established and incontrovertible fact, that fully
one-half the fish taken either by trawl or lino fishing, is
inedible or unsaleable, and heretofore the greater part has
been thrown overboard. In addition to this it is also known
that by the use of proper appliances hn unlimited quantity
of every description of coarse fish and ciustacea may be
readily procured on the western coast of Ireland. These and
the offal of the prime or marke able fish, the Directors intend
converting into pulverised fish manure or fish guano.
As the subject of fish manure was ono of such paramount
importance, the Directors requested Professor Way to examine
the process proposed to be adopted by this Company, accom-
panied by Mr. Hermann Schweitzer, chemist, of Brighton, and
.2ar.alarman,Qivil Engineer ; the result is that the opinions or
the Directors are fully confirifferbOth—arathe plan which
they propose to adopt, and the value of this fish manure as a
product.
As to Capital—lt is at present proposed to call up only
40,001:11. (of which one-half has already been secured by pri-
vate subscription), namely, Si. per share, payable as follows-
-21. as a deposit, and the remainder in three separate calls, at
intervals of not less than three months. The shares may,
however, be paid up in full at once, and in that case interest
at 51. per cent. will be allowed upon all sums paid in antici-
pation of calls.
In estimating the amount of profit which may be realised
by this undertaking, the directors are anxious to avoid all
statements which might give rise to extravagant expectations;
but a most careful c&culation of the annual expenses, and a
moderate estimate of returns, upon authentic data, show,
upon the first branch of the undertaking—namely, fishing,
purchase, and curing of fish—a return of from 30 to 35 per
cent. upon the capital.
The plan of operations and other information are fully de-
tailed in the prospectus, applications for which, and for the
explanatory pamphlet, •and for shares, are to be made to the
Solicitors, Brokers, or to the Se:rotary, at the offices of the
Company, either ix London or Dublin,
