kne Imperial Hotel Company has been formed, with Limited
!-dability under the Act of last Session, for the purpose of
,12%{ilding a large Hotel, on the principle of the great Hotel do
tonuvre, Rue llivoli, Paris.
ParliaMent baying i..urchased a site for a new National
Gallery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc-
tripled by the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, is in every
respect one of the finest and most appropriate that could be
selected in London for such an Hotel.

As investments for capital, such undertakings have proved
highly successful. The'leading capitalists in Europe and
-America have united iu promoting them. The Great Western
Hotel in London, on the same principle, has proved to be a
aighly 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-
Tation two years, it is too small to meet the daily applications
for accommodation. The profits of the IMPERIAL HOTEL, from
Its superior
m situation and many other advantages, will be at
least equal to the most lucrative undertakings of a similar
nature.

A A --
„t4l_ Bill giving powers to the Company, with reference to the •
~„."'e Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the 1
44ouse of Commons.
An instalment of V. per share is required to obtain com-
PLete registration with limited liability; bat should that or
the site not be obtained the deposit will be returned to the
"Shareholders, le,-s a sum not exceeding 3s. per share on ac-
'colnat of expenses.
Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form,
„addressed to the Brokers, Messrs. Helbert, Wagg, and Co.,
11Shorter'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
43f D. 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 21.
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.

Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
obtained of the Brokers or the Secretary.

ACTION AGAINST THE VENDORS OF QUACK MEDI-
CINES.—A person named Holmes brought an action on
Monday before Mr. James, assessor of Liverpool, of the
Court of Passage, against the firm of Startup and
Brown, whose quack medicine booth has been for some
time established near St. George's Hall. It appeared
that Holmes had obtained some medicine from the de-
fendants, which was to cure him with marvellous cele-
rity, but which on this occasion nearly killed the de-
luded patient. It contained so much mercury that '
salivation was produced to a fearful extent, and the
plaintiff's mouth was in a state of incipient mortification
when he called into his aid Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon,
of Parliament-street, who eventually succeeded in re-
storing him to health. The jury gave a verdie.t.for the
plaintiff, damages 301.—Manchester Guardian,
HOTEL AND TAVERN KEEPERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITU-
TION.—The anniversary festival of this society was cele-
brated by a very elegant dinner at the Freemasons'
Tavern, last evening, about 80 gentlemen sitting down,
under the nre,,idency of Mr. Herbert Ingram, M.P. The
society, which has now been established about 17 years,
for the support and aid of its members, either employers
or servant 4 in the hour of need, is in a very prosperous
position—the funded capital now amounting to about
5,7001., of which 1051. was funded during the past year.
The receipts for the year were upwards of 600/., and
nearly 3001. were expended in the relief of members or
their widow's. Various appropriate toasts were drunk,
and the subscriptions of the evening amounted to rather
more than 1001.—the chairman contributing 261. 5,,
The musical arrangements comprised the talents of Mr.
Sh ,übridge. Mr. E hey and his two daughters—young
ladies whom we heard for the first time. They evidently
possess good voices, and a cultivated taste, which must
give them a fair position in their profession.
