This Company is formed for the purpose of connecting the Atlan-
tic and Pacific Oceans by the construction of a plank road across the
province of Chiriqui, situated in Terra Firma Proper, in the Re-
public of New Grenada, under many advantages unattainable by any
analogous undertaking, especially the essential ones of good termin-
able harbourage, and safety, facility, and directness of access.
A grant from the Government conferring all the land necessary
for the construction of the road, and all necessary buildings, has
already been obtained, with the exclusive privilege to the Proprietors of
the road to establish and collect such toll and passage money as they
shall think proper.
The grant is for the period of 60 years ; at the expiration of that
term the road is to be surrendered to the Governor of the province
as provincial property, and the entire amount of the original ca-
pital accumulated by a reserved fund to be laid aside from the profit
of the enterprise will then be repaid pro-rata to the proprietors of
shares.
The termini of the proposed road are in the Lagoon of Chiriqui, on
the Atlantic coast, and in the Bay of Chiriqui, on the Pacific side.
i
The harbours and anchorage at these termini are excellent.
nts very healthy. The coast on
rY
by her Majesty's ship Thunder,
the ThroughAu Atlantic
thetic terminus h l line
was the
surveyed c u
and that on the Pacific by her Majesty's ship Herald. These offi-
cial survo, s, copies of which have been obtained fromthe admiralty,
fully establish the advantages here asserted, and are highly favour-
able to the proposed enterprise.
The route has been long known and used as a provincial road.
The highest elevation of the line of road between the two oceans
is only 160 feet, and the steepest gradient only 18 feet to the mile.
The distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific in a direct line is
only 40 geographical miles, and the length of wood will not exceed 50
miles. The facilities for its construction are very great.
The Chiriqui road may be open for traffic in one year, and in full
working order within 18 months from the period of its commence.
ment. When completed the whole distance may be travelled within
eight hours.

This route is in the most direct line from Europe to the colonies of
Australia and New Zealand, and as the route for the California emi-
gration, it is far superior to either the Panama or the San Juan de
Nicaragua. It must also insure the transit of merchandise con-
signed to and from the west coast of America, both north and south,
and a considerable portion of the specie from the same coast. A 00T-
tion of the trade between Great Britain and Au-tralia and New Zea-
land, and that of the other islands of the Pacific, may also be fairly
calculated upon. A considerable portion of the g,ld procured in Aus-
trattin ho transmitted across this route. Notwithstanding the
existing difficulties upwards of 100,000 persons crossed the Isthmus of
Panama during the last year, and It 4.

a reserve fund sufficient to replace the original capital, and provide
for any unforeseen contingencies.
In submitting this undertaking to the public, the Directors deem
it unnecessary to enlarge on its importance, or the vast advantages
and facilities which will be given to commerial intercourse by a

teto aTlloopy are permitted to state, as aurPoses of trade, between the
gurrantee of its feasibilitv and realisation, that the Messrs. Waring,
of London, railway contractors, are ready to undertake the con!
struction of the road at the estimated cost, and will immediately at
their own expense send their surveyors and staff to the locality to
make the final survey.
The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that her
Majesty's Government have aczeded to the request of the pro-
moters for the grant of a Royal Charter of incorporation, by which
the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of
their shares, and no payment will be required until the Charter shall
have been completed.
Applications for shares to be made to the brokers of the Company,
or to the Secretary, at the temporary offices of the Company, No.
4, Princes-street, Bank, London ; where also may be obtained
prospectuses, with accompanying maps, diowing the situation of the
proposed rouse relative to the Panama aid Nicargua routes, and the
proposed Tehuantepec and other routes, as also the relative distances
of these routes across the Isthmus of Central America, and the dis-
tances to San Francisco, and to Sydney (New South Wales), by New
Zealand, from England, New York, &c.
