PROSPECTUS.
1. This company is formed for the purpose of affording
more convenient accommodation for the shipping and cora-
11'QU of the colony of South Australia under the following
circumstances :
11. The colony of South Australia, with its mineral and
agricultural products, is admittedly rich 1,, all things which
can tend to create an extensive end prosperous trade with
o,_ther countries, and re thing retards its elevation to the
highest point of commercial prosperity so much as the want
of Convenient and sufficient accommodation for the shipping
resorting thereto.
111. that portion of the Port of Adelaide to which the
Ethipping at present resorts is about seven miles rom the city
of thatname, and situated at the extremity of an arm of the
Bea, which after leaving the point known as the North Arm
be onus a na, row and tortuous channel, two miles and three
Quarters in length, d (cult to navigate without grounding,
and except at flood tide and with a favourable wind inacces-
sible to vessels without th expense of a steam-tug ; this ter•
ininates in shoal water, where vessels are crowded tegether,,
for the most part at round, subject to all the risks of broken,
rigs, broken backs, and conflagral ion—nor can these disad-'
vantages and ris • s be remedied at the present shipping place,
as the water is shoaling up every year, and with all the pre-
sent heavy end constant expense Inc rred in dredging can-
not be sufficiently deepened for vessels to lie afloat. (See
Appendix) •
17. The eciious and important nature of this question has
frequentlyengaeed the attention of the Colonial Government
and Parliament, and it maybe safe y 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 nresent
*hipping place and in favour of the North Arm, as affording
the requisite lacilities for accommodating a large amount of
shipping, of any class,' and of becoming, as originally in-
tended, and still desired, the permanent part for Adelaide.
(See Appendix.)
V. Ar• 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 adv-ntageous arr-ngement has been made with
the proprietors of t e land require(' for the purposes of the
Company, by which nearly two-thirds of the purchase-
inon4y•will be taken in efe rre d shares, to remain in the
hinds of the directors, on terms secnrinmo 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 p;tid-npcapital and deferred shares. The
remaining one third is to he paid in cash,
at pe lods favour-
able to the shareholders. The property secured is about 700
acres (extending from the river across Letevre's peninsnla,
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 hat; also arranged to • purchase• on.
favourable terms additional land on the western bank oppo-
site the site already seorred, with a view to bringng 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, "a 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 lino 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 exp trig and imports for
the year 1850 amounted to £1,416,389, that of 1860 to £3,123,107,
and that of 861 to £4,0,-,3,1t,6, the wharf dues upon which
amount to upwards of £BO,OOO per annum.
IX. The trontage of the proposed wharves, extending for
upwards of half a mile, where vessels drawing upwards of 20
feet of water can came alongside at low water, offers such
superior advantages as must obviousl3, secure a large propor-
tion of this business, and thus a very large return to the
shareholders, as by colonial law the-wharf dues for all goods
tariff.
