SHORTER, CLEMENTS & SHORTER are instructed to dispose of, by Public Subscription, 6,000 Shares of the NEWCASTLE CHEMICAL WORKS COMPANY (LIMITED), (Late C. ALLHUSEN & SONS, Limited). Established 1840. Part of the Share Capital of £600,000, divided into 60,000 Shares of £10 each, on which £7 per Share has been called up. Subscribers will be entitled to the benefit of Profits from 1st of January last. The NEWCASTLE CHEMICAL WORKS COMPANY (Limited) is one of the most successful and extensive manufacturing concerns in the Kingdom, the Works, which were founded in the year 1840, employing about 2,500 men. These Shares form part of the Share Capital of the Company, which consists of 60,000 Shares of £10 each, on which £7 per Share has been called up. Price of Subscription £8 per Share (being £1 per Share premium), payable as follows: Subscribers are at liberty to pay up the whole amount on Allotment, receiving discount at Six per cent. per Annum for such pre-payment. Subscribers will be entitled to the benefit of profits from 1st January last. These Works are believed to be the largest Chemical Works in the Kingdom, and some idea of their magnitude may be gained from the fact that upwards of 50 acres are covered with buildings and manufactories in connexion with the business; and from the last Report issued there appears that after deducting the ground required for extensions and land sold, there now remain 73 acres 2 roods 16 perches, in reserve for sale or for use. The Works have been carried on by Mr. Allhusen since 1840, with undeviating success, and they now occupy the acknowledged foremost position in the trade, and it is well known that he has realized from them a very large fortune, and since the business has been acquired by the present Company the results will be seen by the dividends paid, as stated herein. The Chairman and Founder, Mr. Christian Allhusen, with his son, Mr. Wilton Allhusen, and Mr. Alfred Allhusen, his nephew, hold in all 20,000 Shares, thus demonstrating their confidence in the undertaking. Mr. Allhusen, the founder of the business, is Chairman of the Company, and his son and nephew, Messrs. Wilton and Alfred Allhusen-who have been respectively engaged eleven years and seven years in the management of the mercantile and manufacturing departments of the business-are also Directors of the Company; a continuance of the system of management under which the Works have been hitherto so successfully conducted is thereby ensured. Provisional Certificates will be issued by Messrs. Shorter, Clements & Shorter in exchange for the Bankers' Receipts, to be substituted for Share Certifi. cates of the Company when the price of subscription has been paid up, the Shares, with 77. per Share paid up thereon, being then transferred into the name of each applicant, free of all stamp duty or other charges. Should a smaller number of Shares be allotted than those applied for, the balance of the sum paid on application will be appropriated towards the sum payable on allotment. In default of payment of any of the instalments, the previous payments will be liable to forfeiture. The following extracts from the particulars furnished by the Company demonstrate the bonâ fide character of the undertaking:— "About 50 acres of the property are covered with buildings, and occupied by railways, and the remainder is held in reserve for future extensions, or for such other purposes as may appear most advantageous. "In addition to the plant and erections necessary for manufacturing Sulphuric Acid, Sulphate of Soda, Refined Alkali, Crystals of Soda, Bicarbonate of Soda, Soda Ash, and Bleaching Powder, there are several subsidiary establishments, such as extensive Saw Mills, Gas Works, Cooperages, Fire Brick, Common Brick and Tile Works, Millwrights' Shops, Boiler Works, Smithies, and other works necessary to the production of the materials required for carrying on the different processes, for general repairs, and for the erection of new buildings. "The Property is connected by a Branch Line with the North-Eastern Railway, and has a river frontage on the Tyne of 1,440 feet, or thereabouts. "The raw materials received by water are discharged by means of four steam cranes, by which they are lifted from the ship's hold into the Company's waggons, and are then conveyed to their respective places of consumption, thus securing the greatest economy practicable. These and other arrangements, tending to lessen the cost of production, have been effected at great expense and labour during a period extending over upwards of thirty years. "The Works are capable of producing annually from 40,000 to 45,000 tons of articles manufactured for sale, and for the disposal of these goods the present firm has established agencies in almost every important centre of consumption, both in Europe and in the United States of America. "The appreciation in which the products of the establishment are held at home and abroad is such that sales can always be effected at the highest current rates." From the foregoing particulars it will be seen that the Shares now offered for subscription afford to the public an opportunity to participate in the profits of a concern which it is believed may, as to its importance, its magnitude, its character, and its success, challenge comparison with any similar undertaking in the world. The following is a List of the Directors of the Company :— HILTON PHILIPSON, Esq., Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Vice-Chairman. Applications for Shares on the accompanying Form must be forwarded, together with a deposit of 21. per Share, either to the Consolidated Bank (Limited), 52, Threadneadle-street, E.C., London; or to Messrs. Shorter, Clements & Shorter, 26, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, E.C., London, from whom Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be obtained. 26, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, E.C., London, 27th April, 1874.

SHORTER, CLEMENTS & SHORTER, 26, Birchin-lane, E.C., London. GENTLEMEN,-Having paid to your credit, at the Consolidated Bank (Limited), the sum of pounds, being 21. per Share on my application for Shares of 101. each (on which 77. per Share has been called up) of the Newcastle Chemical Works Company (Limited), I request you to have transferred to me that or any less number of the said Shares; and I hereby agree to accept such transfer, and to pay the amount due on Allotment and the balance payable in respect of such Shares, in accordance with the terms of your Prospectus, dated 27th April, 1874.

DAVIES, CAMPBELL, REEVES & HOOPER, 17, Warwick-street, Regent-street, London. BANKERS. THE LONDON AND COUNTY BANK, 21, Lombard-street, London. F. B. BEHR, Esq. Subscribers are at liberty to repay the Instalments on any day on which an Instalment falls due, under discount at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The Interest on the Certificates is payable Half-yearly, on 1st January and 1st July in each year, by Coupons attached, payable at the Bankers of the Trust, the London and County Bank, 21, Lombard-street, E.C., London. The principles of the present Issue will be similar to those of the first Issue, although some modifications in the details of carrying them out have been thought desirable. They embrace the permanent maintenance of the Fund in its entirety; provision for Reserve; payment of a fixed minimum interest; the further immediate distribution of a percentage of each year's realized Profit as Bonuses in Cash to the whole body of Certificate-holders; and, as far as possible, the redemption of Certificates out of Profits remaining after paying the Annual Bonus. The Trust Funds will be invested in carefully-selected Governments and Guaranteed Securities, such as Stocks, Obligations and Bonds of Home, Foreign or Colonial Governments, States and Municipalities, and Guaranteed or Subsidized Stocks, Shares and Obligations of Railways and Public Works, or Mortgages or Debentures on similar undertakings. Whenever any of the Capital originally invested is set free by the operation of Sinking Funds or otherwise, it will be immediately re-invested in the same or a similar security. No single investment will exceed a maximum of one-tenth of the whole Fund, and, to fortify the Security thus obtained, one-half per cent. on the nominal amount of the Capital subscribed will be annually set aside to Reserve. The Revenue of the Trust will be appropriated as follows: 1. To payment of per cent to cover the outlay incurred for administration and office expenses, but not in any case to exceed such amount. 2. To the formation of a Reserve Fund, by setting aside annually per cent., as already mentioned. 3. To payment of the interest represented by the interest Coupons attached to the Certificates, viz., 5l. per Certificate per annum. 4. To payment of a Cash Bonus up to per cent. per annum, equal to a further 10s. per Certificate. 5. The Accounts of the Trust are made up and audited yearly, and any balance remaining will be devoted to redeeming the Certificates at the rate of 1251. for each 1001. Certificate, by drawings before a Public Notary as customary. On the above basis it will be seen that an Investor in the present Issue would receive as interest and a further Annual Cash Bonus equal in all to about 61. 10s. 11d. per cent. per annum on each 100% invested; and further, in the event of his Certificate being drawn, he would receive a Cash Bonus of 411. over and above the price paid for the same. It is anticipated that at the end of twenty years a considerable proportion of Certificates will have been paid off out of surplus profits at the rate of 1251. for each 1001. Certificate, and the entire original Trust Funds and Securities, including the Reserve Fund, will then become the property of the remaining Certificate-holders, who will have to decide, at a Special Meeting to be held for the purpose, whether the Funds shall be realized and divided amongst them in OFFICES. 38, NICHOLAS-LANE, E.C., LONDON. proportion to their respective holdings, or whether the Trust shall be carried on for a further period. The cost of all expenses (inclusive of brokerage on the original purchases, stamps, advertisements, legal and all other charges incidental to the formation of the Trust), will be covered by a fixed rate of 2 per cent. on the actual amount of Subscriptions received. A General Meeting will be convened as soon as possible to nominate a Committee of Certificate-holders, and to appoint Auditors. All Dividends, Capital Funds, Premiums and Bonuses, are receivable by the Bankers of the Trust, the LONDON AND COUNTY BANK, 21, Lombard-street, London, E.C. Certificates will be issued as soon as possible after the Subscriptions have been paid up in full, and the Securities purchased. In cases where no allotment is made, the deposits will be forthwith returned in full. Failure to pay any Instalment when due will render all previous payments liable to forfeiture. A Draft of the Trust Deed can be seen at the Offices of the Trust; at the Offices of the Solicitors, Messrs. DAVIES, CAMPBELL REEVES & HOOPER, 17, Warwick-street, W.; and of Messrs. TUCKER, NEW & LANGDALE, 4, King-street, Cheapside, E.C., London. Applications, together with the Deposit of 51. per Certificate, must be made in the accompanying Form, and forwarded to the Bankers of the Trust, the LONDON AND COUNTY BANK, 21, Lombard-street, E. C., London. Prospectuses and Forms of Application can be had of the Solicitors and the Bankers, and of the Secretary, F. B. BEHR, Esq., at the Offices of the Trust, 38, Nicholas-lane, E.C., London.
