Among the most important of the resources of Turkey and the
Levant may be ranked their mineral productions. Extensive mines
of coal, iron, chromate o; iron, lead, coppe", and other minerals are
known to exiet, the working of which, it prudently conducted, can-
het fail to promote the commercial relations between England and
the East of Europe, and to produce highly satisfactory results to
those investing their capital in the undertaking.
For the purpose of developing these resources it is proposed to
form a company under the Joint-Stock Company's Act, 1856, limit-
log the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.
It has been considered desirable that the operations of the cora-
Daily should be gradual, commencing with undertakings which pre-
vious experience has demonstrated as offering a safe investment
With highly remunerative results.
With this view the promoters have made provielenal agreements
With parties enjoying exclusive privileges, conceded by the Sultan
and the Greek Government, for the supply of emery stone, an article
of known importance and increasing consumption. Under the Sul-
tan's Firman the Company will hive the privilege of worldly; the
mines at Scalanova in Asia Minor, and, under contract with the
Creek Government, those at Naxos, as well as in all other parts of
the Empire mad Kingdom.
The annual consumption of Emery stone in Europe was calculated
tom years since at 3,010 tons. Recent investigations, by persons in-
timate with the trade, have, however led to the conclusion that the
above is an under estimate ; and, looking to the increased manufac-
ture and use of plate glass, machinery, steel, and other substances,
for the polishing of which Emery stone is necessary, the demand may
rests mably be expected largely to increase.
In order to simplify tee operations of the proposed Company as
tench as possible, the Promoters have made a further provisional ar-
rangement with competent parties to extral, the Dir ery stone from
the mines, and deliver, at fixei prices, such quantity as the Company
%or desire at Smyrna, where it will he handed over to the Company's
agent for shipment to Europe, or elsewhere.
The Provisional Directors have had eleorate details submitted to
their consideration based upon the existing demand and supply of
Emery, and having carefully investigated the subject, aided by gen-
tlemen practically acquainted with the trade, they have satisfied
themselves of the soundness of the proposed undertaking, and the
prospect which it holds out of very profitable returns for the capital
invested. 1 he.,e details will be submitted, on application at the
Offices, to any parties desiteng, to take a substential interest in the
Undertaking*, and fully warrant the provisional directors in s ethic
that from this source alone dividends at the rate of 10 per cent. may
be calculated upon, even for the first twilve months, with progres-
Sive increase in future years.
No increase of ca led-up capital, beyond the AI. per share payable
Upon allotment, will he made, except with the concurrence of the
shareholders at a general meeting convened for the purpose of con-
sidering whether the operations of the company stale be enlareed.
Official forms of applications for shares may be obtained from the
brokers, or the Secretary, at the offices of the proposed company,

PROSPV.CTIJA.

The progress and Impro'rement of the British fisheries are a na-
tional object, in which all class, s of the community aro interested.
The wealth and ener,ies of the United Kingdom are, in other chan-
nels, rapidly developing our great industrial resource;, but our
fisheries remain in the same state in which they were tw centuries
ago. Our increasing population requires that every means that art
and science can devise should be adopted, in order to procure the
necessaries of life as abundantly and cheaply as possible; but,
though it is well known that the seas which surround the Briti.li
Isles teem with abundance of fish, yet the supply of that article of
food is always uncertain, and its price, generally high, is ofen
ex-
ewbitant. _ _ . _

The British Fisheries, if conducted on a proper system, and on a
scale of sufficient magnitude, are capable of yielding an abundant
supply of wholesome food. There is no branch of our national in-
dustry to which steam-power can be more advantageously and pro-
fitably applied. Fishing banks as yet untouched, because they
could not be reached by the present sailing craft employed in the
trade, may, by means of steam power, be made available for a vastly
increased and more regular supply of fish.
Hitherto our fisheries have been prosecuted only by the coast
fisherman in sailing vessels at part'cular seasons; and the principal
part of the fish caught has been cured for exp 'rt, or sent to London,
where the demand may be said to be almost unlimited.
By the adoption of steam power, the regular and daily supply of
this article of food, in the freshest state, would be extended to the
principal ports in the United Kingdom, to be thence conveyed by
rail to the cities and towns of the interior.
It is admitted by the trade that the quantity of fish is not half of
that which might be sold, provided the supply were regular. It is,
therefore, proposed to establish the British Steam Fisheries Com-
pany, for the purpose of combining capital with skill, and, by means
of welled steam-vessels, to develope in a manner that has never lieen
attempted before the inexhaustiple resources of the sea, and to con-
vey the fish caught or purchased with speed and regularity to the
best markets.
As a commercial enterprise this company presents undoubted ad-
vantages; and, while it will give constant employment to a great
many seamen and boys, in addition to those already engaged in the
tradt,lt is calculated that it will, after defraying every expense, se-
cure to the shareholders a return of from 20 to 25 per cent. on the
capital expended.
' The Directors propose to commence with a capital of 100,0007., In
shares of 101. each (with power to increase), and to place steamers
at the different ports on the coasts of England and Scotland, nearest
to the fishing banks in the North Sea, and afterwards to extend the
operations of the company to foreign fisheries, as the success of the
undertaking may justify.
All sales of fish being for cash, a dividend can be paid quarterly.
Applications for shares to be made in the annexe i form, addressed
to the Directors of the British Steam Fisheries Company (limited),
at their offices, County-chambers, I I, Cornhill, London ; or to the
brokers of the company, Walter G. Taunton, rsq , 26, Itirchin-lane,
London; and Messrs. Allan and Dunlop, bt. Amirew's-square,
Edinburgh.
The deposit of I/. per share is to be paid to the bankers, or at the
offices of the company upon allotment, for which a voucher will be
given.
