• The Imperial Hotel Company has been formed, with Limited
Lability under the Act of last Session, for the purpose of
building a large Hotel, on the principle of the great Hoteldu
Louvre, Rue Rivoli, Paris.
Parliament having urchased a site for a new National
Gallery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc-
cupied by the Nat i0,,a1 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 in promoting th,in. The Great Western
Rotel in London, ou the same principle, hot proved to be a
highly remunerative investment ; ti e net profits in the last
division were 31 per cent. per annum, and the dividend was
at the rate of 25 per vent. 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 equal to the most lucrative undertakings of a similar
nature,.
A Bill giving powers to the Company, with reference to the
Rite in Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the
louse of Commons.
An instalment of 21. per share is required to obtain com-
plete registration with limited liabi ity; but 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-
count, of expenses.
Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form,
addressed to the Brokers, Messrs. Helbert, Wagg, and Co.,
1, Shorter's-court, Throgmorton-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 11, for each Share is previously made with Messrs Coutts
and Co., 59, Strand ; or Messrs. Rare'ay, 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 Shire payable after allotment, and will be repaid in the
event of the application not being acceded to ; and no further
opal 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.
