theirhe Directors of this Company call the attention of the public to
Prospectus already issued, and to the data upon which they mound their expectations as to the very remunerative character of
their undertaking :
-Eat,
• o the official statement of the Manager of the South-
teTrn Railway Comaany's Telegraph that their profit from
the transmission of commercial messages alone during the past
9er was 5 per cent., while all their railway messages, which from
"nlit stations amounted to 20,000 messages per annum, were
Sent free.

L• To the returns of various Telegraph Companies in America,
Which pay, upon an average, dividends of from S to 10 per cent.
per annum.

3. To the returns of the Prussian Telegraphs, which show a net
Droflt en commercial messages alone of 5 per cent. for the very
first year after their construction, while all official and Government
intelligence is sent without charge, the Telegraphs in that kingdom
,beiug in the hands of Government.
~,, 4. To the Statement of Accoun's laid before the Right Hon. the
aIiTY Council about six weeks ago by the old Telegraph Company,
which is the only one in full operation in this country at the present
etime. These accounts show that, including bonuses paid by that
-.Pang during the past three years (amounting to the very large
41,1 Ohl
of nearly 100,0001.), in addition to the ordinary dividends, the
r"apanY have evidently cleared little short of 20 per cent. per
m, and that, too, upon an enormous cost for telegraphs. The
hiriortish Company will be able to construct their apparatus at little
and other
_e than one-half the cost of that at present in operation.
