TER HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.
THE Stanghai and Pontnag Fanndry and Engineering Company has been formed to take over the business hitherto suscessfully carried on by Mr. David Muir- berd, which is so well known to be the best, and most complete estbilshment of its kind in China or Japan.
Toa terion of the transfer are, that the Company acquirea the whole of the exben- alve works, plant, property, contracts, and Acess of the old business, freed from all Liabilities and cucumbrances.
The Property, including the Goodwill of the bnarness, to be transferred to this, Coupasy, is completa and perfect in every branch, and consists of a site of about 50 mow of land, sitnate on the Poong side, immediately opposite to the English Set- tlement, Shanghai, having a frontage to tus Rivar of 443 foot.
Upon this property are the following Buildings
Holler Shop
Pattern Shop and Smithy..
Maobine Shop,
Foundry,
Office and Store.
Assistant Manager's House.
Manager's House)
Furnaces:
Wharf and Shears capable of lifting 40
long.
The establishment is fitted up most oc- pletely with Planing, Punching, Billing, Drilling, and Screwing Machioeg with powerful Lathes, Toring Milla, and Steam Hummers, Foundries for manufacturing -Iron-and-Brass Castings, and Smilky for. Forgings, anch as are required for hoary Engineering and other purposes.
With the view of arriving at a correct valuation of the property and plant, Mr. CORYELL has made is onreful estimate, which, after allowing liberally for depró- ciation, amorats to Tuels 100,000, particu. lata of which on be seen on application.
A-entisfuntory arrangement has been an- teret into with Mr. MEZESAD (or carry- ing on the undertaking with the present eficient art, and M. MBEAD WAL retain a large interess in the Company. *** The profits of the business during the last seven years have averaged over Thu. 18,000 per acum, equal to 18 per couf un the present proposed cupitai.
This property offers onequalled facilities. for the carrying on with economy work of the above deseription, while the whole of the plant is in the best possible state, its perfect efficiency baying been continuongly and carefully maintained. The introduo tion of new interests in the working may confidantly to expeated to yield an exten- sion of the business; and the adoption of the mutual system, which has been found. to produca saab antisfactory results in ather Companies, in the opinion of the Directors, canot fail to have a correspond. ing effect in this. It must also be boros in mind that the carrying trade of the East is in a state of transition from wooden sailing vessels to Iron Staubers, and this will," doubtless, beneft the Cord- pany, more especially as Shanghai is daily increasing its steam traffic, and proving its suitability to be the terminal portin Olina The present, therefore, secus a good op portunity to acquiro a businesa is working order, which, by means of a Company, saú be extended sa cirenaslunces may render necesary,
A large portion of the Capital has been prisately subscribed, and applications for the remaining shares should be sent to the. Provisional Directors, bare of W. Har Woon, Esq, on or before Thursday, the 15th February, shortly after which date an allotment will be minte,
