Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the
Progress of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the
tearn Trade of Liverpool. In the year 1852 the tonnage of
foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was
388,715 tons, while in 1882 it was 595,339, which, in the year
ending June, 1853, 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, economy of fuel and space has been
effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and
Screw steamers have not only been employed in all the near
trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their
owners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to
shippers,
vesse they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced
g ls.

still conveyed by sailing vessels.
In the important branches of the American import trade,
viz., those of grain, flour, and provisions, the lose annually
sustained by heating during- the protr cted voyages fre-
qf
all uently made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest
oengaged in these trades will be enlisted in favour of
any scheme for the extension of steam shippint', to include
Bitch freight, and there c'n 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 fad entirely into
the hands of steam comnanies.
_The first object of thi Company is to place on the New
Lliork station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and
ondon, of large size and great capacity, which wilt be able
carry almost, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels,
Whilst at the same time, from 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
Wilt not enter into undue competition with the existing lines.
The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the
tlalls lumenpassengers
in with fast and expensive steamers.
The Le has not übside, but nevertheless has been
:Most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having
commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of
Inman
and City of Manchester. The steamships of the
-.Amen Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse-
Power than those projected by this Company, which will be
sailed at much ie•s cost, and will be constructed to consume
comparatively small amount of coal; at the same time of
_,'lch capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan-
"lse and passengers, they will be able to carry sufficient fuel
for their voyagcs 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 ante 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
Irespects suitable tor he service have been to cured. and con-

"Ps, —whose services as Inspecting En: sneer and
al Architect the Directors have stcured to th s Company.
The success which has attended the formation of well-
itianaged steam companies has been very marked. That of
I.2unard and Inman Company is well known. Ihe Pacific
teate. Navigation Company, whose shares,£so paid, are sell-
-I„Eig at £7B per share, has out 4 profits given to its share-
holders new paid-up shares exceeding the am,unt 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, white many private steamship owners,
With similar descriptions of vessels, but much smaller than
those this Cc mpa y 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-
',any a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, *han
those which have proved so remunerative to severa. well-
known private firms engaged la the Mediterranean and other
trades, and have thus the advantage of the experience so
Required, which proves that what is needed, under efficient
management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships,
'with moderate but sufficient ho. se-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 my embrace the
co-operation of shippers and of others interested, instead of
by private capital!sts 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 :C1 per share on the number
of shares applied for has been pain.
