Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the
progress of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the
Steam Trade of Liverpool. In the year 1852 the tonnage of
foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was
188,715 tons, while is 1862 it was 595,339, which, in the year
ending June, 1843, increased to 756,420 tons.
In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve-
ments for the economy of fuel had been introduced, steamers
could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of
mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve-
ments in marine engines, economi of fuel and space has been
effected, thereby greatly reductng the working expenses, and
screw steamers have not only be, n employed in alt the near
trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their
owners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to
shippers, they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced
sailing vessels.
For some years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been
gradually undergoing a change. In the American trade screw
steamers have taken the place of the once celebrated New
York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of
fine goods and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and
a large number of intermediate and steerage passengers be ng
still conveyed by sailing vessels.
In the important branches of the American import trade,
, those of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually
sustained by heating during the protr .cted voyages fre-
quently made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest
of all engaged in these trades will be enlisted in favour 'of
any scheme for the extension of steam shipping to include
such freight, and there can be no doubt but that the whole of
the enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool
alone amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fa'l entirely into
the hands of steam comnanies.
The first object of this Company is to place on the New
York station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and
London, of large size and great capacity, which wilt be able
to carry almost, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels,
whilst at the same time, fro m the regularity of their passages,
they will command a full share of the steam trade, and the
Directors also intend sending steamers to the American
Cotton Ports when the war is brought to an end and the
trade re-opened, and have also under their consideration the
wants of the Brazil and other trades.
In organising this Company the Directors believe that it
will not enter into undue competition with the existing lines.
The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the
mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers.
The Inman Line has no subsidy, but nevertheless has been
most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having
commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of
Glasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the
Inman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse-
power than those projected by this Company, which will be
sailed at much less cost, and will be constructed to consume
a comparatively small amount of coal; at the same time of
such capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan-
dise and passengers, they wilt be able to carry sufficient fuel
for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex-
pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad.
In order that the objects of this Company may not be even
partially antic'pated, and that the stations may at once be
occupied, provisional arrangements have been made whereby
three new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all
respects suitable for ihe service, have been secured, and con-
tracts have been entered into for the bu 'ding of others of about
3,500 tons each, and it is proposed to c.anmence with a fort-
nightly service each way, to be increased to weekly sailings
as soon as the vessels can be got ready. The ports of depar-
ture shall be Liverpool for the weekly line, and London to
the extent the metropolitan trade may require.
The ships will be built under the inspection of Mr. John
Jordan —late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry
of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting Engineer and
Naval Architect the Directors have secured to th s Company.
The success which has attended the formation of well-
managed steam companies has been very marked. That of
Cunard and inman Company is well known. 'I he Pacific
Steam Navigation Company, whose shares,£so paid, are sell-
ing at £7B per share, has out f profits given to its share-
holders new paid-up shares exceeding the amount of the ori-
ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent, on
the increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an
almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners,
with similar descriptions of vessels, but much sm iller than
those this Ccmpa.iy intend to possess, have reaped like ,
results.

The-Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a
very great success to the undertaking. They are not en-
tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com-
pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, than
those which have proved so remunerative to several well-
known private firms engaged in the Mediterranean and other
trades, and have thus the advantage of the experience so
acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient
Management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships,
with moderate but sufficient horse-power and great carrying
capacity.
The introduction of the limited liability principle has en-
abled undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be
carried out by joint-stock companies, which miy embrace the
co-operation 01 shippers and of others interested, instead of
by private capitalists as heretofore ; the result being that
the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc-
cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn.
Applications for shares may be addressed in the annexed
form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the
offices of the Brokers and Solicitors, but no application will
be considered unless a deposit of Ll per share on the number
