The growing taste for musical performances of a high order
and upon an extensive scale rendered it necessary that sown
suitable provision should be made at the West End of London
for such entertainments.

since been supplied While this acknowledged want has long
in Liverpool, Birmingham, and other provincial cities, the
metropolis remains singularly dencient in proper accommoda-
tion for such per:ormances—possersing, in fact, no build-
ing well adapted to the purpose. Ezatsr Hall not having
been originally intended for concerts or similar performances,
its architec;;-aral proportions are ill suited for musical effects ;
it is deficiert in `aellities of ingress and egress, and the regu-
lations o 7 those entrusted with the management preclude the
per:on:ranee of come of tl2e 11:3belt, works o: art. The pro-
posed building will be expressly designed with a view to aid
the effect of instrumental and choral performances, tither
singly or in their various combinatiors, and the facilities of
approach and exit will be amply provided for.

There is aleo a great demand for Halls of a similar descrip-
tion in a locality easily acce-sible and convenient for the ariL-
tocracy. TVs requirement is evidenced by the large amount
of public patronage bestowed upon the Egyptian Hall, Picca-
dilly, and the Gallery of Itlustrstion in Regent•street.
The promoters ol' the present scheme propose to erect a
Grand Hall, IS4 feet by 60, and 60 feet in height, and two
minor Halls, ore 60 feet by 18, and the other 48 feet by 10,
and 23 feel in height.
A site peculiarly eligible for the purpose has been secured,
which will be held an lease direct f.:om the Crown, for a term
of 75 years, and the building will have the advantage of four
distinct entrances; with frontages in Regent-street and Picea-
The site in queltion affords ample space for all the appli-
ances necessary to render the Halls complete in every respect.
In addition to a commodious orchestra; it is proposed to
erect galleries and boxes, with suitable waiting-rooms, with a
separate entrance and vestibule for the convenience of her
Majesty and the Royal Family, and without losing sight of a
due regard to economy, to' make the St. James's Hall the
most perfect and complete building of the kind in Europe.
Arrangements have also been made for the purchase of the
adjoining prolierty in Regent-street, thus securing a third
minor hall, 60 feet by 40, and about 30 feet high, together
with other extensive premises, which it is proposed to convert
iito a Restaurant of the first class, adjoining and communi-
cating with the Concert Rooms. Refreshment.; of all descrip-
tions will thus be attainable at any hour ; and facilities will
be afforded for appropriating either of the halls to public
dinners or balls.

Carefully and well-matured plans and calculations have
been made of the expense of the necessary accommodation,
and the probable revenue to be derived therefrom, and the
subjoined statement is submitted with confidence, as a fair
and moderate calculation of the probable financial results.
The Company will be formed under the Act of Parliament
oF last session, which limits the liability of each shareholder
to the amount of his subscription, so that no possible risk or
danger can be incurred by the shareholders.
Adeposit of 10s. per share upon the number of shares ap-
plied for must be made with the Bankers of the Company,
for which a voucher will be given, and which will be returned
iu full in case no allotment of shares shall be made. Applica-
tions for shares may be made t" the SAcretary, at the Offices
of the Company ; or to Messrs. Field, Son, and Wood, stock-
ers, Warn eford-court; Throgmo don-street.
