INCREASE OF CAPITAL
Ey the issue of :17,500 ordinary shares of £lO each, repre-
senting the nominal sum of £375,000. £1 per share to be paid
on application, £1 per t. hare 14 days after allotment, Z 3 per
share on the Ist October, 1864, and £2 per share theist April,
1865, making a payment of £7 per share.
The Directors give notice that they are prepared to receive
applications for the new shares, the issue of which was autho-
rised by Ihe Special General Meeting held on the 3d March
'lnstant, in order to enable the Company to perform the con-
tract recently entered into with the General Government of
New Zealand, for a monthly mail service between Sydney,
New Zealand. and Panama, in correspondence with the Royal
(West India) Mail Company's steamers between Southampton
and Aspinwall (Isthmus of Panama`,.
The Intercolonial Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was
formed in 1858, under a contract to perform the mail service
between the several provinces of New Zealand, and between
that colony and Sydney, for whit , they are at present in the
receipt of subsidies amounting to upwards of £36,000 per
annum.
• From the commencement of the Panama line, in May, 1863,
the minimum subsidies payable to the Company for the oceanic and interprovincial services will amount to £06,00
per annum.
The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, and the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company have agreed to enter into work-
ing arrangements for through traffi:vand their fleets, with
those of the three other steam lines, converging on the new
route, will operate as "feeders" to this Company's ships.
-When, therefore, it is considered that New Zealand is 2,100
Miles nearer to England, via Panama, than by the present
overland route, and 4,000 miles nearer than by the Cape of Good
11i0Pe, and that the intended line will possess the advantage
e economy, both of time and money, there can be no doubt
a lalarge portion of the existing passenger, light goods, and
specie traffic, will be secured by this Company.
The nominal capital of the Company will, in the aggregate,
be £562 SCO of which £41?,500 will be paid up.
The new shares will be entitled to dividend from the re-
spective times when the instalments fall due, and on pay-
ments is advance interest at the rate of spercent. per annum
Will be allowed.
The profits on existing lines are alone sufficient to pay a
large dividend on the new as well as on the old shares.
Detailed prospectuses, reports, and forms of application for
shires can be obtained at tne offices of the Company, and of
the brokers and solicitors.

This Company has been formed for the construction of a
Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's),
in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important
towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing
population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the
number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate
intr6duction of railways.
The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and
its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield
and avove average value ; whilst around the Coast there
are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea-
weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of
land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com-
paratively unavailable.
Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality
of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to
any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite
near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in
the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of
railway facilities, become available for export.
One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St.
John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is
also the centre of the Fordale mining district. The produce
of these mines is now brcught by land-carriage (there being
nn water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly
ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as
Well as all necessaries required by the inland population,
are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides
these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held
during the year in this district, must add considerably to
the annual revenue of the Company.
The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown,
Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the
great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of
arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and
from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin-
cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels;
the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the
route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex-
pensive.

- The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com-
munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven,
Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by
sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient.
Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above
100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during
the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian
relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a
matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas
to the interior, and across the Island to Peel,

The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the
salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The
picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap
living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex-
pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so
small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per-
manent place of residenee.
Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are
now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of
the Ports of Douglas and Peel.
The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently
established.
The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings.
The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the
gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula-
tion along it are most favourable to the project.
From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much
care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official
Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic wi:l re-
!,urn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol-
lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic :
Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum,
Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c.. 5,500
Parcels and Mails

Working Expenses at even 50 per Cent£l3lso
. 6,,500

Leaving for Dividend £6,650

Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all
necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with
the St: nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an
Act of the Local Parliament.
Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island,
and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the
value of Railway property in England and other countries,
no less than to diminish.the Shareholders' Dividends, can-
not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this
Lino.

Art eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase
the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations,
furnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs,
upon satisfactory terms. Interest at .5 per cent, per Annum
will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount
paid upon shares.
An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon-
sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years,
Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from
the Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company.
