This Company has been formed for the purpose of sup-
plying a want long existing among merchants in London,
trading with the Cape of Good Hop, for direct and regular
steam communication from London.
In order to show the profitable character of the busi-
ness to transacted by such a line of steamers, it is
be
only necessary to point to the extraordinary results ob-
tained by the Union Company for their line from South-
ampton to the Cape.
It is intended for these steamers to call either at Fal-
mouth or Plymouth for the embarkation and delivery of
mails and passengers.
There is a very ,large and remunerative passenger
traffic. The exports ane imports of the colony are yearly
increasing, and the preference shown for steam carriage
over the sailing lines is becoming greater, as merchants
recognise that the saving in time, interest of money, and
insurance more than repay the additional freight obtained
by steamships.
A fleet of steamers has already been secured under
favourable circumstances, and at a moderate price. They
aro new, of full power, and of high class, and it is confi-
dently expected that with them the Company will be able
to complete the passage from London to Cape Town in
about 30 days.
The steamers will be transferred to the Company at cost
price, and there will be no promotion money.
Two-thirds of the capital have already been subscribed
and the share-list will consequently remain open for a
short period only.
