The Imperial Hotel Company has been formed, with Limited
Liability under the Act of last Session, for the purpose of
building a large Hotel, on the principle of the great Hotel du
Louvre, Rue Rivoli, Paris.
Parliament having l urchased a site for a new National
Gallery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc-
cupied by thc• 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 nndertakings have proved
ltlgiily successful. The leading capitalists in Europe and
America have united in•promoting them. The Great Western
llotel in London, on the same principle, has proved to be a
lvghly remunerative investment; the net profits in OA last
•division were 31 per cent. per annum, and the dividend was
et the rate of 25 per cent. per annum. The Shares have
I%bont doubled in value, and, although it has not been in ope-
Zation 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
Xature.
A Bill giving powers-to the Company, with reference to the
site in Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the
Souse of Commons.
An instalment of 2/. per share is required to obtain com-
Plete registration with limited liability; but should that or
tile site lot be obtained the deposit will be returned to the
Shareholders, less 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. Holbert, Wagg, and Co.,
1, Shorter's-court, Throginorton-street ; or Messrs. Barnett,
lOUs, and Co., 18, Finch-lane; or to the Secretary, 4, White-
' hell ; 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. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and
.20., Lombard-street, the Bankers of the Company. This
"ePosit will be carried to the credit of the instalment of 21.
Per Share payable after allotment, and will be repaid in the
event of theapplication not being acceded to ; and. no further
cell will be made until the agreements for the purchase of the
Site have been settled.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
t 1).6 tained_of the Brokers or the Secretary.
