INCREASE OF CAPITAL
By the issue of 37,500 ordinary shares of £lO each, repre-
senting the nominal sum of £375,000. Li per share to be paid
on application, £1 per share 14 days after allotment, £3 per
share on the Ist October, 1864, and £2 per share the Ist 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 the Special General Meeting held on the 3d March
instant, 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 t 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, 1861,
the minimum subsidies payable to the Company for the
oceanic and interprovincial services will amount to £96,0.0
per annum.
The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, and the Pacific) Steam Navigation Company have agreed to enter into work-
tug arrangements for through traffic, and their fleets, with
tbose 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 2,00
Miles nearer to England, via Panama, than by the present
overland route, and 4,000 miles nearer than by the Cape of Good
}lope, and that the intended line will possess the advantage
of economy, both of time and money, there can be no doubt
a large portion of the existing passenger, ltiht goods, and
specie traffic, w capitalecured by this Company.
The nominal of the Company will, in the agg
be £562,500, of which
.£41?,500 will be paid up. regate,
The new shares will be entitled to dividend from the re-
spective times when the instal:Lents fall due, and on pay-
ments in 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 tee offices of the Company, and of
the brokers and solicitors.
