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 purchased a site for a new National
Gallery at Kensington, the site and adjacent ground now oc-
cupied by the 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.

capital, such undertakings have proved
The leading capitalists in Europe and
higAhslysuce investmentsessfut for
America have united in promoting them, The Great Western
Hotel is London, on the same principle, has proved to be a
highly remunerative investment ; the net profits in the last
division were 31 per cent. per annum, and the dividend was
at the rate of 25 per cent, per annum. The Shares have
about doubled in value, and, although it has not bean
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
site in Trafalgar-square, has been read a second time in the
House of Commons.
An instalment of 2/. per share is required to obtain com-
plete registration with limited liability; but should that or
he site not be obtained the depsit will be returned to the
tShareholders, le s a sum not exceeding 3a. 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-strpet ; or Me srs, Barnett,
Ellis, and Co., 18, Finch-lane ;or to the Secretary, 4, White-

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--A Lieutenant of Dragoons cured
rf Rheumatism by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.-.
This officer, who was in the Dutch army, states that
riolloway's pills and ointment have cured him of rheu-
matism, which appeared to be incurable, as neither sea
bathing, vapour baths, nor preparations vaunted as sure
remedies, did him any good, and, the treatment of the
doctor, after several months' trial, was without success,
At this juncture he commenced taking these pills,
and rubbing the ointment into the complaining parts
twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course
,•,f six
.weeks. The truth of this statement can be
viiuched for by Mr. J. B. Strat man, of

Yesterday afternoon a number of invalids from the
Crimea arrived at Chatham from Portsmouth. A fatigue
party from the garrison was in attendance at the Strood
station on the arrival of the invalids, for the purpose of
assisting the sick and wounded to the ambulance wag-
gons in waiting, to convey them to Brompton. The
invalids, to the number of 125, were medically inspected
by Second-class Surgeon W. J. Fyffe, M.B , from Fort
Pitt, when those requiring further surgical treatment
were ordered into the supplemental hospital at Brompton,
and the remainder were taken to the invalid depot, St.
Mary's, to be inspected by a Chelsea board. Nine in-
sane men, who arrived with the party of invalids, were
admitted into Fort Pitt.

The remnants of three companies of the 11th battalion,
Royal Artillery, lately returned from the Crimea, were
yesterday morning marched down to the Arsenal Wharf,

tended to fill vacancies in the corps.

A number of non-commissioned officers and men be-
longing to the depots comprising the Provisional Batta-
lion at Chatham were yesterday selected by Colonel H.
Jervis, the Commandant, and placed under the orders of
Captain W. Nott, 831 Regiment, for the purpose of
undergoing a course of instruction in the Enfield
The regiments which furnished men for this duty were
the 52d Light Infantry, the 53d, the 61st, the 64th, the
70th, the 74th Highlanders, the 75th, and the 78th
Highlanders (Ross-shire Buffs). The men so selected
will be relieved from all other duty while they are under
instruction, and on the completion of their training they
will be draughted to other regiments where they may be
required for the purpose of instructing the troops.
An order from the War-office has arrived at Chatham
barracks directing Captain W. Mosss, commanding tie
depot of the 26th Cameronians, to hold a detachment of
that regiment, consisting of two subalterns and 100 not.•
commissioned officers and men, in readiness to emhark
on board the freight-ship St. Michael, for Bermuda, to
join the head-quarters of their corps.
It is understood to he the intention of the authorities
to employ a portion of the Land Transport Corps in each
of the Royal dockyards. Should this determination be
carried out the men belonging to that corps will not be
disbanded now the war is concluded, but the horses and
men will, as far as practicable, be employed in the dock-.
yard establishments.

PRINCg ALBERT AT CuLCHESPER.

COLCHESTER, MONDAY EVENING.

Prince Albert visited this town to-day for the purpose
of inspecting the troops encamped in the vicinity. The
stree,s of the borough were lined with well-dressed peo-
ple, and al? business was suspended, though shops re-
mained open, in order that the town might present as
animated an appearance as possible.
The Prince left tow❑ by a special train at 10 a.m., and
arrived at Colchester shortly after 11. His Royal High-
ness, who was accompanied by Gen. Grey, Col. Phipps,
Gen. Wetherall, and Lord Alfred Paget, was received at
the station by a guard of honour, furnished from the 11th
Regiment, and a detachment of the West Essex Yeo-
manry. At the suggestion of the Mayor of the town,
a large body of horsemen were in attendance.
From the railway station the Prince proceeded direct
to the Town-hall, where the elite of the neighbourhood
had assembled to witness the presentation of an address
to his Royal Highness.
To the address, which was read by the Recorder (Mr.
C. G. Round), his Royal Highness raplied as follows :
" Mr. Mayor and Gentleinen,—l am deeply sensible
of the kindness and cordiality which has marked your
eeceptio❑ of me on this my first visit to your ancient
town. I have embraced with the greatest satisfaction
this opportunity of becoming acquainted with a part of
England which I had not before seen, and it is most gra-
tifying to me to find amongst the people of Colchester
the same zeal for the true interests and honour of the
country—the same loyalty and affectionate attachment
to their Sovereign which I have found in all other parts
of her Majesty's deminions which I have visited. To
be the channel for conveying to the Queen the expns-
sion of such sentiments of loyalty and patriotism ►s as
agreeable to me as I know it will be grateful to her Ma-
jesty's heart to receive them."
With this the proceedings- at the Town-hall termi-
nated. They partook of a cold and formal character, a
wish having been expressed, on the part of the Mayor,
that the company should not give vent to their feelings
by cheering on the Prince's entrance. The immense
mass of people out of doors made ample amends, how-
ever, for this frigid propriety.
The Prince, on leavinz the Town-hall, proceeded
through Queen-street and Botolph-street, to inspect the
„camp, over which his Royal Highness was conducted
by Sir William O'Malley and other officers, The camp
covers a large extent of ground, and contains a church,
three school-rooms, quarters and mess establishments
for the various officers, and about 130 huts for the rank
and file, together with two powder magazines, 20 hos-
pital huts, stables, lavatories, cooking-houses, &c.
The regiments now quartered in the camp are the
11th and 88th and the following, militia corps : --The
Essex Rifles, the West Suffolk, the West Essex, and
the East Norfolk. The commanding officer of the

whole force isMajor.General Gascoigne.
Having concluded his examination of the camp, the
Prince next addressed himself to the real business of the
day, the inspection of the troops, why were drawn up
in line in Wiverahoe-park, the 88th 11,-gitnent being on
the extreme right, the Essex Rifles on the left,
and the militia regiments forming the centre. Major
General Gascoigne was surrounded by his staff—Earl
Ji-rnayn, Colonel Adair, Lieut.-Colonel Herbert, Captain
Hamilton, and Captain Bulwer. The regiments on the
Qround were commanded by the following officers :
88th, Colonel Maxwell ; West Suffolk Militia, Colonel
Deare ; %Vest Essex Militia, Lieut.-Colonel Brice • EaFr
; Norfolk Militia, Major Sir E. Laren, M P and the
Essex Rifles, Major Wallace. The long line of troops
extended across the park,- and the fineness of the wea-
ther attracted an enormous number of persons to the

spot.
The Prince was received, on reaching the park, by
Major-General Gascoigne and his staff, and, having
ridden up and down the line, and received a general sa•
lute, his Royal Highness took up a favourable position
for observing the movements of the troops, which. were
:performed in a very soldierly and satisfactory manner.
-Nt the close of the evolutions, the Prince expressed his
attisfacti,in to General Gascoigne, and at three o'clock
'is Royal Higline:qi, having taken leave of the officers of
the camp, returned to Co'chest« r, and thence by special
' train to London.
