PROSPECTUS.
The primary object of this Company is the establishment
of a rranlar line ot steam ships between the ports of Mon-
treal and Queb,c, in Canada, and the United Kingdom, par-
ticularly London, at present totally unirovided for. Ac-
commodation will ::l-o be afforded for the trade ot Newfound-
land, Nova scotia, and New Brunswick, as may be required,
and s may offer remuner tive results.
The ircessity of direct and regular steam communication
between Lond n and British North America has long bee.
most seriously felt by themerchants interested in this trade ;
the want of it has for some years past compelled them tc
forw rd large quantiiie • of valuable goods to Liverpool and
Glas ow, incurring the heavy expense of mlway trans t, and
damatte occasioned thereby, as well as great uncertAnt in
the time of shipment.
The large wholr s le houses in London, for the sale of
every description of textile iabrics, are especially interested
in this undertaking. they bacilli! been serf •usly prejudiced l,y
the greater facilit,es for shipment which their rivals in Man-
chester and other nor hero towns possess.
By official returns, it appear • that the total imports aed
exo,rts at Montreal were below 20,000.000 do! ars in 1856.
whereas they reached in 1862 nearly 69,000,000 aollars. The
fact of the trade being nearly d )üble iin the space o seven
years, proves the necessity of more raid and extended corn
munic•ion, whilst the y s t progress in the production of the
West (all of which district is now seeking a transit through
Canada a being the shortest and Quickest route to Europe),
shows that the demand for freight must steadily improve.
It is a well known fact that the existin; lines running to
America have been lar ely remunerative, it is therefo e con-
fidently be.ieved that under proper and economical manage-
ment d with the important interests comblied in this
tride"takm a reasonable mercantile profit will be realised.
A large number of passengers of all classes from the east
and south o' England and the Continent of Europe will select
this route, and add further to the success of the Company.
It is not intended at present to apply for any postal sub-
sidy. a, it is b lieved the vessels will pay better exempt from
Government co tr 01. In the event of insufficient emoloyment
off. rm.; • t any time during the w nter to Portland, the ves-
sels will he employed in ot er trades /'s circumstances may
require and as may ap"ear advantageous to the Company.
Means have been taken to secure the services of practical
men conversant with the trade, and arrangements will be
made with firms cf expeci nee to manage ti,e ships and
t oeir outfits in Lo don and Canada.
Promises of support to a considerable amount have been
given by merchants here and in Canada. 1,0 a, shares are re-
s rved for subscribers in the Colonies.
"1 he object of the princip 1 movers in this undertaking is to
sustain and increase the connexion of the Port of London
w'th Va. British North American Colonies, by securing a re-
gular and speedy conveyance fcr their goods. Lao promotion
money will be paid by the Company.
