The importance of our rapidly increasing trade, both forei .n and colonial, renders it absolutely necessary that the transit of passengers and merchandise should be conducted with rapidity. regularity, and economy. Any enterprise combining these ad vantages cannot fail in procuring a profitable remuneration. This Company, availing itself of all the advantages science has discovered in t ie navigation of vessels. propose building a fleet of iron chi p• vessels, fitted with that powerful auxiliary the szrew prop. lie so that their progress will never be delayed by calms or ad% er .0 winds. The rapidity mil regularity of these vessels materially reduce the expense. whilst their annual earnings are larger from the greater number of voyages performed, and consequently the in creased amount of tonnage conveyed. It is a well-ascertained fact that vessels properly fitted with screw propellers of proportionate power to their tonnage make at least three voyages in the time that similar vessels without this auxiliary accomplish one voyage. The great success obtained by all the steam navigation com panies having sufficient capital, and conducted upon sound mercantile principles, proves that large and safe profits can be secured by those embarking in this enterprise. The Directors al nut contemplate confining their ships to any specific line, but will seek to employ them from time to time on the stations most likely to afford profitable employment for their tonnage It will be a peculiar feature of this company that the Direc tors, being mostly engaged in mercantile pursuits, will have it in their power to coniribute largely to the employment of the C. mpany's vessels. The Directors, with a view of commencing active operations as quickly as possible, have already entered into conditional ar rangements for the building of two superior vessels, thereby p. evemine the delay which has proved so injurious in the early stages of several companies. i ue re,ponsibility ui rich Shareholder is limited byAct of Par Bement to the extent 44 his shares: and, to peevent inconve nience to the Shareholders from irregu ar and uncertain calls, the Directors have determined that the payments on shares be made as follows :—A deposit of 41. per share upon albtment, as prescribed by Act of Parliament, and the remainder in eight call* of 21. each, payable at intervals of not less than two mouths between each call.
