The advantage which the public will derive from the esta-
blishment of a Crystal Palace on the north side of London,
where it will be readily accessible to three-fourths of the me-
topolitan population, as well as to country visitors by the Great Western, London and NOrth Western, Great Northern,
3lidland, and Eastern Counties Railways, has now been re-
cognised by all classes, of the community, and arrangements
are in progress for ensuring the construction of the building
upon terms which will leave no doubt as to the profitable re-
sults of the undertaking. .
In the meantime, the Muswell Hill Land Company (Limited)
has been formed for the purpose of securing immediate pos-
tession of the whole estate on which the-palace isintended to
be. erected ; and this Company will reserve the sight for the
palace and grounds for a sufficient period to enable definitive
tenders to be received from responsible contractors for the
92cecution of the works ata liked -price.
The purchase-money agreed to be paid for the property, in-
tludingthe mansion and the timber, is £135,000, and the owners
have consented to take payment as follows, viz.:—£70,000, in
7.000 shards fully 'paid up. A deposit of .£15,000 -on signing the
agreement, and the balance of £lO,OOO at any time or times
within three years, at the option of the Company, with interest
-at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. In the event of the Co-
mpany not availing itself of the option to complete the purchase
within three years from fhe date of the agreement, the whole
of the deposit of £l5 000 will be returned to the Company.
The:estate consists of 4Z-!7 acres of park-like land, all in

grass, well supplied with water, interspersed with ornamen
'tat thither,.beautifully undulated, and commanding views of
an ektensivs and varied character. •

It is situated on the' line of the Great Northern Railway,
within five miles from li.ing's-cross, and the Wood Green
Station of that Company stands on the estate,
The land is admirably adapted for suburban villas, and on
the opening of the Metropolitan Railway it may be reached in
about 15 minutes from Farringdon-street. • •
'rhis direct access by Railway to the heart of London, will,
of itself, considerably enhance the value of the property, alto-
gether irrespective of the advantage to be'derivecl from the
erection of the Palace. ' •
The great increase in the value of land in, the vicinity of the Crystal Palace at Sydenhara is worthy of record in this pros-
pectus. - The Directors of that Company sold their surplus
1411(1, amounting to about 130 acres, within 12 months of the
formation of the Company, at a profit of £3OO per acre. A
considerable portion has been . re-sold at a further profit of
'4700 per acre, and the remainder is now being sold at a net
profit of £1,300 per acre.
It *ill therefore obviously be to, the interest of this Com-
PanY to treat on liberal terms with the Great Northern.
enlace Company, for the transfer to them of 150 acres, in con-
, sideration of the large additional profit which will be obtained
on the remaining, 300 acres, in consequence of the construction
of such a building as the Palace on the property.
It wtll be stipulated that 'a free ticket of admission to the
Palace and grounds for ten years shall be given to the holders
of land 'shares in respect of eve' ten 'shares which may be
held by them at the time of the allotment-of the Palace shares,
and that a proportionate .allotment of those shares shall be
relt iserved. for the shareholders in this compan. •
s not intended to make any call until they question of the
_ erection of the Palace shall hate been settled, When a general
meeting of the shareholders will be called to consider the pro-
posed arrangements, and, as;the land can then be realised to
great advantage, it is highly' probable that no further payment
on the shares beyond the deposit of £2 10s. will ever be re-
quired, and at all events no call will be made during the year
1860.
'Each application for shares must be accompanied with a
deposit of £1 per share uon the number of shares applied or.
If no allotment be madep to the applicant the depositpl will be
returned in fulL
Applications for the remaining shares may be made to the
Directors, at the Offices of the Company, 61, Gresham House,
Old Broad-street, City ; orto Messrs. Field,:Son, and Wood,
