SECRETARY—JaMeS Le Geyt Daniell, Esq.
The oNeet of the NORTHFLEET DOCKS and LONDON
QUAYS COMPANY (Limited), is to provide the Port of
London with the following, among other, important ad-

, -
vantages:
DRY DOCKS capable of receiving Ships of the largest mag-
nitude, which at present cannot be accommodated in any
Dock in the-Thames.
INCREASED WET DOCK ACCOMMODATION, the want
of which compels steamers and other vessels, especially
those of the larger class, to avoid the Port of London.
DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH EXISTING RAIL-
WAYS, thereby securing to Merchants and Shippers the
direct conveyance of imports and exports to and from
any part of Great Britain without the delay and expense
of cartage, wharfage, and lighterage in transit.
PLANS AND ESTIMATES of the whole undertaking have
been carefully prepared, and have been investigated by a
Committee appointed for that purpose. The Reports of
the Engineers show a sum of £2,000,000 mill be sufficient
to carry out the undertaking in its integrity, leaving an
ample margin for the purchase of the properties ; and the
Engineers have named to the Directors eminent Contrac-
tors, who are willing to take and guarantee the execution
of all the works within the estimates. It is intended,
however, to construct the works at Northfleet by gradual
operations, according to the requirements of Commerce,
and it is not expected that more than £1,250,000 will be
called up within the first eighteen months ; no call to ex-
ceed £2los. per share. •
IMMEDIATE REVENUE.—An unusual feature in this en-
terprise is that an immediate revenue will accrue to the
Company from the business carried on at the Qnays and
Warehouses in London, and the operations of the exist-
ing Dry Dock and Engineering Plant and Machinery at
Northfleet, as well as from the sale of chalk and flints,

which will enable the Company, during the construction
of the works, to declare a dividend upon the Calls as
paid up.
PROSPECTIVE REVENUE.—The important commercial
advantages to be derived from the several objects which
the undertaking comprehends, and the comparatively
small outlay required, lead the Directors to expect, under
a system of low charges, returns of no ordinary profit.
In the event of the Directors not deeming it advisable to pro-
ceed, the deposit will be returned to the Shareholders,
less the Preliminary Expenses, which will not under any
circumstances exceed Five Shillings per Share.
Applications for• Shares to be made to the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company ; to the Brokers, Messrs. Hill,
Fawcett, and Hill, 29, Threadneedle-street, London ; also
to John B. Neilson, Esq., Liverpool ; William Mewburn,
Esq., Manchester; Nathaniel Lee, Esq., Birmingham;
Thomas Parkinson, Esq., and Harry Hughlings, Esq.,
Halifax ; Messrs. M'Ewan and Auld, Glasgow.; William
Bell, Esq., Edinburgh ; John Dubedat, Esq., Dublin,
from all of whom detailed Prospectuses and Forms of
Application for Shares may be obtained.
