that Company's report dated 30th June, 1861, It Is stated that, in
consequence of the unparalleled dry state of tha rivers, the navi-
gation of their stammers had been for a considerable period
almost entirely impended.

Captain J. M. Hamilton. a director of the Company. readies
at ikabiti, and largely amgmad la Ist transport of goods on
the Ganges, writes as follows :
I would feel obl4ed by your bringing to the notice of the
directors, for the Inierme,tloa of the shareholders, that their
steamers sad dim under coustreotion are superior to all now
plying oaths Genoa It would be advisable to have threesome

who has been employed by the Company in erecting and launch-
ing their vessels in Calcutta, reports as follows :
" I have men all the steamer' and barges built and building,
and conalder none so well arranged or adopted for the river as
ours, but they are still open to improvement."
(1 be engineer's suggestion, will, of course, be well considered
in the construction of future vessels.)
The Company have also under their consideration the subject
of the navigetlon of the rivers to China. The quantity of goods
now carried by native Duets is very considerable. whilst Increased
facilities. together with the introduction of steam power, will
materially develop the treble. The "Times" oo

letter from China, dated December, 1861, gives the f in-
formation :
"The Yang-tese river le tut becoming a seat of commereial
prosperity. The Deltic up and down Is • perfect marvel. coal-
dering the short time the river has been opened. The probabi-
lity is, that nest year Itankow and Kiukiang will be the centres
of a very great and steadily increasing trade."
Most careful investigations will be made to test the desirability
of this portion of the undertaking.
