The advantages resulting from the use of Steam Vessels are too
firmly established to isquire comment: it is, however, universally
admitted that the Vessels and Alachinery hitherto employed are
not adapted to distant voyages or tempestuous weather.
To obviate the admitted defects in Stearn Navigation, the
draughts and models of several patents of great merit In naval
architecture and machinery have been investigated by gentlemen of
science and nautical expeitence, to whom it has been satisfactorily
Moctonettated, that by the combined aid of the patents selected
and the employment of propelling engines on the best principles,
a is confidently anticipated that vessel' combining benefits in
superior will make the passage from Condon to Calcutta, by the
Cape of Good (in despite of contrary winds and currents), in
SO days, and to the ports of the 'West Indies and America ►n a
proportionate time; and that the Company will, with such in,.
portant advantages, divide a Tray considerable annual profit, the
comparative risk being small, and losses guarded against by the
Property being ensured in London.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Bankers by letter,,
