The primary and immediate object of this Company is to lay
down a telegraphic cable in the Red Sea, between Suez and Aden,
NO as to effect telegraphic communication thus far with India at
the earliest possible period.
• This object may be completed in a few months, simultaneously
with the Mediterranean telegraph to Alexandria.
By this means communication with all India will be brought
within one week, and by the extension to Kurrachee, which will
immediately follow, hourly communication will be established.
The political value of this undertaking at the present juncture
is too painfully established by recent occurrences in ludia to
require comment, while its social and commercial importance is
scarcely leas urgent.
The Honourable the East India Company participate so fully
in these views, that they have consented to guarantee a mini-
mum annual revenue of 200001. on the first section to Aden,
front the date of the first message received, accompanied by
assurances of every necessary assistance and support. This
arrangement only awaits the confirmation of her Majesty's Go-
vernment, without which the Company will not proceed.
As a commercial investment, the returns, which have been
carefully prepared, and which may be inspected at the office,
show a profit far exceeding ally orumary returns from 8111.111114
enterprises.
This statement will be appreciated by thoso connected with
the trade of India, to whom it will be evident that all orders for
produce. insurance, shipments, arrivals, departures, accidents,
change of destination of vessels, dm. ikc., would be the subject
of telegraphic communication.
It is proposed, so soon as the capital is subscribed, to purchase
the Atlantic cable, or provide a new cable, whichever may be
decided to be beet for the object in view.
The cable will be laid in sections of from SOO to 6no miles, and
arrangements have been made with responsible contractors to
undertake the risk of laying It.
The Company have secured the necessary concessions from
the Turkish and Egyptian Governments.
The urgency of the undertaking is universally admitted. The
remunerative results are placed beyond ail doubt. Perfect
immunity from all risk is secured by the Limited Liability Act,
and by the guarantees of the Government, the East India Cunt'
pany, and the contractors. As a great and important minimal
question, it is only necessary to urge upon all who feel ally
interest in securing immediate telegraphic communication with
India to give their earnest and cordial support to an enterprise
which is brought before the public with this sole object.
Application for Shares may be sent to the brokers, Messrs.
Scott, Corthorn, and Scotts, IC, Throgniortan-street, or to the
Company's Offices, No. l, Moorgate-street; but uo application
will be considered unless a deposit of 11. on each share applied
for is previously made to the bankers of the Company. The
deposit will be returned if the application is not acceded tn.
