PROSPECTUS.
I. This company is formed for the purpose of affording
more convenient accommhdafion for the Shipping and com-
merce of the colony, of South Anstralla.under the foliioWing
oircnmstancea i._.
The colony of South Australia, with its mineral and
a'ricultur al products, is admittedly rich in all things which
can tend to create an extensive and prosperous trade with
Other countries, and nothing retards its elevation to the
highest point of commercial prosperity so much as the want
of convenient and sufficient accommodation for the shipping
tenoning thereto. •
„111. That portion of the Port of Adelaide to which the
Shipping at present resorts is abontseven miles irom the city
Of thatname, and situated at the extremity of an arm of the
Sea, which after leaving the point known as the North Arm
becomes a narrow and tortuous channel, two miles and three
quarters in length, difficult to navigate without, gr ounding ,
and except at flood tide and with a favourable wind inacces-
sible to vessels without thexpense of a steam-tug ; this ter-
alitates in shoal water, where vessels are crowded together,
for the most part aground, subject to all the risks of broken
ribs, broken backs, and conflae-ration---nor can these disad-
vantages and risks be remedied at the present shipping place,
as the water is shoaling up every-year, and with all the pre-
sent heavy and constant expense ineerred in dredging can-
not be sufficiently deepened for vessels to lie afloat. (Se
Appendix.)
V. The serious and important nature of this question has
frequently engaged the attention of the Colonial Government
and Parliament, and it may be safely affirmed that the effect
of the testimony of successi, e Governors and other authori-
ties, colonists and shipping masters resorting to the port has
down to the present day been condemnatory of the present
shipping place and in favour of the North Arm, as affording
the requisite facilities for accommodating a large amount of
shipping of any class, and of becoming, as originally in-
tended, and still desired, the permanent.' port for Adelaide.
(See Appendix.)
V. At the North Arm is a magnificent sheet of deep
Water land-locked, forming a natural basin of great extent,
With smooth water and of easy navigation for vessels of the
largest- burden ;and the site selected by the Company, unlike
the adjacent land, is elevated above the highest flood, has
deep water in immediate proximity to the shore, and an
abundant supply of fresh water, with a frontage to the
harbour of over 3,000 feet in length for wharf purposes, and
of over 1,500 laterally, immediately abutting on the site re-
served for Government Graving Docks.
VI. An advantageous arrangement has been made with
the proprietors of the land required for the purposes of the
Company, by which nearly two-thirds of the purchase-
ney will be taken in eferred shares, to remain in the
hinds of the directors. on terms seeming to the shareholders
a priority of dividend to the extent of 5 per cent., till the
profits yield sufficient to pay that amount of dividend on the
aggregate of the paid-up capital and deferred shares. The
remaining one third is to be paid in cash, at pe,iods favour-
able to the shareholders. The property secured is about 700
acres (extending from the river across Lefevre's peninsula,
about one mile in breadth to the Gulf Anchorage), to be con-
nected with the western bank by means of a steam floating
bridge, and the Company has also arranged to purchase on
favourable terms additional land on the western bank oppo-
site the site already secured, with a view to bringing both
sides of the harbour within the sphere of the Company's
Aerations.
VII. It is intended to construct upwards of 2,000 feet of
Wharf frontage at once, where vessels of the largest tonnage
tray lay alongside, and to erect wharves, warehouses, and
Other conveniences, affording ample accommodation to the
shipping resorting to the port. Also an extension of two
pules of railway to complete the line already laid down by
the Government, from the city of Adelaide to the North Arm,
and a short line of four-and-a-half miles to the Dry-Creek
Station, on the Great North and Murray River Railway,
thereby effecting a saving of 12 miles of carriage between the
great producing districts and the port of the colony.
VIII. As proving the opening afforded for additional ship
accommodation by the increasing prosperity of the colony, the
commercial returns show that the exports and imports for
the year 1850 amounted to £1,416,389, that of 1860 to £3,423,107,
and that of 1861 to £4,063,155, the wharf dues upon which
amount to upwards of £30,000 per annum.
The frontage of the proposed wharves, extending for
upwards of half a mile, where vessels drawing upwards of 20
feet of water can come alongside at low water, offers such
superior advantages as must obviously secure a large propor-
tion of this • business, and thus a very large return to the
shareholders, as by
colonial law the wharf goods
landed for all
landed are levied according to regulated tariff. Other impor-
tant sources of revenue are suppthbeedebstnite

X. The cost of the undertaking,

the land, the construction of incelsu,draily wtahyecommunica-
tion, and the ejection of warehouses
and other accommoda-
tion above-mentioned, has been carefully revised, and esti-
mated by the late Captain Moorsom,C.E.. is also estimated,

be raised as the increase of business and the advantage of
the company requires.
XI. The proprietors of the land will place in the possession_
of the directors s• curities to pay 5 percent. per annum on the
paid-up capital until the works are so far completed as to en-
able the directors to commence the business of the Company.
XII. The directors desire to draw attention to' the impor-
tant advantages offered by the . present undertaking, and con-
fidently refer to the map and the official documents
set forth
In the appendix, which embraces the
of the Company's
property, as establishing the necessity for, and the highly
remunerative character of, the proposed works.
