TO HOTEL KEEPERS

may be agreed upon, the It O Y'A L WATERLOO
HOTEL, at Waterloo, Crosby, near Liverpool, in the county
of Lancaster, with the Baths, Tap-room, "tables, Lock-up
Coach-houses, Bowling-green, and Garden hereto belonging.
The Hotel contains seven Entertaini g Rooms, Servants'

eight. Bed Rooms. Underneath the Building are extensive
Celiarings.
The COach-houses will hold upwards of thirty Carriages, and
the Stables have Stalls for fifty Horses. _ _ •

The Hotel is pleasantly situated on the banks of the River
Mersey, commanding a tine marine prospect, an extensive and
beautiful view of the Cheshire Coast and the picturesque scenery
of the principality of Wales, together with the town or Liver-
pool, from ivlience it is distant about four miles. Many of the
nobility and persons of the highest respectability resort to this
fashionaLle 'Watering Place, and an extensive business has
been carried on at the Hotel for many years. As the neigh-
bourhood is fast increasing in population, the business may be
considerably extended by an active and spirited tenant. The
communication with Liverpool is'easy and cheap. Omnibuses
from the Hotel run several times each day, and Packet Boats
pass frequently upon the Canal, which is within half a mile of
the Hotel.

In the arrang,ernent of this Hotel every cave has been taken
to lender it eligible for 'Families of the first distinction. It will
be found equal to any establishment of the kind in the kingdom.
For terms of Letting, and other particulars, apply (it •by
letter, post paid) to Mr. J. HODGSON, Solicitor, Clarendon-
buildings, Liverpool, or to Mr. E. CHESTER, Solicitor, 11,
Staple Inn,.London,

The shares in the "LIVERPOOL GAS-LIGHT COMPANY,"
originally £lOO, have been recently quoted at £480; and the
" LIVEIt POOL- OIL-Gas COMPANY," owing to the very expen-
sive-materials from which it-has been compelled to produce its
Gas, has offered but feeble opposition to that Company : the
shares of the latter Company, originally £lOO, have, however,
been quoted at £l6O. Whilst the shares in these Companies
are thus quoted, there is little hope of the price of Gas being,
very considerably reduced.
It is a desideratum to place public bodies, and more particu-
larly those whose operations are local, in some degree under
the 'direct control ,and management of that class of society
which supports and maintains such establishments. It is, there-
fore, the object of this Prospectus to propose-the establishment
of a GAS-LIGHT COMPANY, to be called THE GAS-LIGHT
CONSUMERS' COMPANY," founded on a basis the most
popular, and composed of that class of individuals who hitherto
have been entirely dependent upon the Gas-Light Companies
already established, without having had any control over their
management.
The Capital of the Company is intended to be £lOO,OOO,
subject to be increased or decreased as circumstances may sug-
gest; and, to afford every consumer of Gas an opportunity of
becoming a Proprietor, the shares will be fixed at £lO each,
and as the peculiar characteristic of the Company will be the
most extensive distribution of its shares, the monopolizing by
a comparative) y few individuals of a great number of shares
will be studiously avoided.
In awarding shares to the different applicants decided pre-
ference will be undoubtedly. given to such as ow or hereafter
are likely to become consumers of Gas.
-A Company thus constituted must pes peculiar advan-
tages : the Subscribers entering it not much with the pros-
pect of realising dividends on their shares, as by deriving a pro-
fit by having their Gas at the lowest possible cost; and thus, by
bringing down the price of an article of such very general con-
sumption, affording relief to the great body of the '
inhabitants
of Liverpool and its vicinity.
As the Company will be principally formed of those who con-
sume the Gas, its management and superintendence must chiefly
devolve upou persons whose situation in life must necessarily
lead them Into communication with the great body of Gas con-
sumers : hen( e, they will not only have the means of ascertain-
ing, but also of granting, all reasonable requests, and discover-
ing and removing every well-grounded cause of complaint.
By thus bringing down the cost of Gas-Light, it may be con-
fidently calculated that there will be a very great increase in the
consumption of that article, as many persons are now prevented
from using Gas in consequence of the very high price at which
it has hitherto been charged.
It is needless to state, that the Gas is intended to be produced
from the cheapest and most plentiful material.
As an early application to Parliament will be necessary, per-
sons desirons of becoming Proprietors in the Company era re-
quested forthwith to apply to Mr. Hiisnix„Solicitor, 17, Lord-
street.
