is formed for the purpose of connecting the Atlan-
tic
by the construction of a plank road across the
province of Chiriqui, situated in Terra Firma Proper, in the Re-
an Thisd Companypacflc Oceans
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

proper. establish and collect such toll and passage money as they
hk
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 provinte
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 pre-rata to the proprietors of
shares.
The termini of the proposed road are in the Lagocin of Cbiriqui, On
the Atlantic coast, and in the Bay of Chiriqui, on the Pacific side.
The harbour's and anchorage at these termini are excellent.
Through the whole line the country is very healthy. The coast on
tha.Atlantic terminus was surveyed by her Majesty's ship Thunder,
and that on the Pacific by her Majesty's ship Herald. These °fn.'
cial surveys, copies of: hich have been obtained from the 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 how's.

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 spec :e from the same coast. A por-
tion of the trade between Great Britain and Au. tralia and New Zea-
land, and thet—of the other.islanda of the Pacific, may also be fairly
-calcuiatei' upon. A ermsiderabie Pprtion of the g.:l4procured in Aus-
tralia will he transmitted across this route.. Notwithstanding tee
existing difficulties upwards of 100,000 persons crossed the Isthmus of
Panama during the last year, and it is computed that the in-
creased inducements and facilities for trade and emigration fur-
nished by new lines of steam-ships will vastly increase the amount
of traffic and travel across the Isthmus, placing it beyond doubt
that this undertaking will produce immense returns.

' The amount of capital necessary to complete and open the road in
perfect working orde"r will be only 200,0001., and the revenue to be
derived from it, computed from the sources above indicated, will
yield a net profit ou the entire capital of about 30 per cent., alter

providead
making a very liberal deduction for expenses, and alsola
e
a reserve fund sufficient to replace the original capital, and
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 commer ial intercourse by a
safe, speedy, and economical means of intercommunication, with
excellent h .irbcairs adapted to all purposes of trade, between the
Atlantic and Pacific .Oceans. Tney are permitted to state, as a
gurrantee of its feasibilit, and realisation, that the Messrs. Warings,
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 ,:o the locality to
make the final survey.
The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that her
Majesty's Government have acceded to the request of the pro-
moters for the grant of a Royal Charter of Incorporation, by which
the liability of the sharehol leas ,sill 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 tho Secretary, at the temporary offices of the Company, No.
4, Princes-street, Bank, London ; where also may be obtained
prospectuses. with accompanying maps, showing the situation of the
proposed rou e relalve to the Panama and 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.
