THE object of the Company is to carry into effect an Act
of Parliament obtained last session, to reclaim and bring
into a state fit for cultivation vast tracts of rich alluvial soil,
on the borders of the abovenamed Loughs, which are now
dry, or nearly so, at low water, amounting in extent to be-
tween 30,000 and 40,000 acres.
These Loughs are two of the finest harbours in the world ;
they are situate in the counties of Donegal and Derry, in the
North of Ireland, in the immediate neighbourhood of the
estates of the great London Companies, a part of the country
justly considered as the most thriving.
The city of Londonderry is close to some of the lands pro-
posed to be enclosed, and none of them are more than a few
miles from it. From this port there is a communication, by
well-appointed steam-vessels, several times a week to Glas-
gow, Liverpool, &c., from lich ports it is distant but a few
hours sail.
The lands in question have been surveyed by Mr. M'Neill
and other Engineers of eminence, whose reports concur in
stating that the proposed reclamation may he effected into
certainty, at a given moderate expense, within three years
from the commencement of the work, and with great profit
to the Subscribers. Indeed tenders have been already made
for a part of the work, materially below the estimate of the
engineer, and to be completed within twelve months.
The whole will be reclaimed, brought into cultivation, and
converted into money, within a period of five years.
The reports above referred to, with Maps, Plans, Working
Drawings, &c., may be seen at Mr. M'NEILL's, 9, White-
hall-place, and at the Office of the Company, where also may
be had a Prospectus stating the terms entered into by the
Proprietors, and other particulars too long for an advertise-
ment, according to the terms and conditions of which Pros-
pectus the Shares are offered to the Public.
When Calls amounting in the aggregate to £lO per Share
shall have been paid, interest will be allowed thereon at the
rate of £5 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly, and in
like manner on subsequent payments, as they shall amount in
the aggregate to £lO per Share, seeing that the land secured
by such outlay will be then in pi ogress towards yielding a
return.
Applications for Shares and Prospectuses to be made by
letter, on or before the 21st instant, addressed to the Secre-
tary of the Committee, 34, Cornhill, London, or to Messrs.
D. and J. B. NEILSON, Exchange-court East, Liverpool,
