PROSPECTUS.
I. This company is formed for the purpose of affording
more convenient accommodation for the shipping and Com-
erce of the colony of South Australia under the following nge.seurastances :
L The colony of South Australia, with its mineral and
nglricultural products, is admittedly rich 1- all things which
can tend to create an extensive and prosperous trade with
-qAes countries, and is, thing retards its elevation to the
'.uest point of commercial prosperity so much as the want
convenient and sufficient accommodation for the shipping
enrstlng thereto.
0,1" s that portion of the Port of Adelaide to which the
n g at present resorts is about seven ro the cit
°l that name, and situated at the extremity ofmiles an arm m of they tea, which after leaving the point known as the North Arm
oMes a nas row and tortuous channel, two miles and three
quarters in length, d .fficult to navigate without grounding,
"d except at flood tide and with a favourable wd inacces-
sible to vessels without th expense of a steam-tug in
; this ter-
Initiates in shoal water, where vessels are crowded ti gether,
lor the most part as round, subject to all the risks of broken!s, ribs, broken backs, and conflagration—nor can these disad-
vantages and rigs s be remedied at the present shipping place,
as the water is shoaling up every year, and with ail the pre-
sent heavy and constant expense incsrred in dredging can-
not be sufficiently deepened for vessels to lie afloat (See
Appendix)
IV. The serious and important nature of this question has
f
requentlyengaged 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 tacilities for aoc6mmodating 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. As the North Arm is a magnificent sheet of deep I
'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 1,509 laterally, immediately abutting on the site re-
served for-Government Graving Docks.
VI. An aclvsntageous arrsngement has been made with
the proprietors of t' e land required for the purposes of the
Company, by which nearly two-thirds of the purchase-
nioney will be taken in eferred shares, to remain in the
h suds of the directors, on terms securing 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 psid-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
Operations.
VII. It is intended to construct upwards of 2,000 feet of
wharf frontage at once, ts here vesseis of the largest tonnage
may 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
miles 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 nroving the opening afforded for additional ship
accommodation by the increasing prosperity of the colony, the
commercial returns show that the exp r s and imports for
the year 1850 amountei to £1,416,389. that of 1860 to £3,423,107,
and that of 861 to £4,0'3,1e5, the wharf dues upon which
amount to upwards of £30,000 per annum.
IX. The frontage of the proposed wharves, extending for
upwards of halt a mile, where vessels drawing upwards of 20
feet of water can come alongside at low water, offers such
superior selvantages 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 due • for all goods
landed are levied according to regulated tariff. Other impor-
tant sources of revenue are suppiedbtintae, ,he aggregate
rentalythiieco
of mmo-
di us warehouses included in the estimates,
rental of which cannot be estimated
and
ethatee,r rentals, s than4"rhicha
Year ; also by the railways, land,
Will accrue from the large population which the operations
of the company wi'l atract to their. property.

le land, the onstruction of wharves, uanseicao!
revised, and esti-
tien, and the e eetion of warehouse
carefully
other accommoda-
tion above-mentioned, has been _
mated by the late aptain aloorsorn,
the first iss se of the company's capital. .
L. Eit,
is
alsomemstimmlathteind
that the whole of this amount will not be required for tsr
s
years. Responsible contractors are prepared to execute the
works within the estimat . Any further capital will only
be raised as the increase of business and the advantage of
the company requires.
XL The proprietors of the land will place in the possession
of the directors s curities to pay 5 percent. tier 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 dire et rs desire to draw attention to the
