PROSPECTUS.

- - --
The Transatlantic Steamship Company (Limited) is
formed under the auspices of the important Interests con-
nected with Southampton, for the purpose of establishing
a line of first-class Passenger and Carge Steamships be-
tween Southampton and New York, for which there is now
an admitted necessity.
Southampton, fret., its central position, its close proxi-
n% to London and the Continental ports, its safe and easy
access in all states of the tide, possesses unrivalled advan-
tages for the American trade.
The Southampton route to America is very imperfectly
served by the present line of steamships under foreign
tag; 'which touch at Southampton from Hamburgh and.
,„relnen on their way to New York, and clear out with im-
mense freights of German, French, and British manufac-
tures, and large numbers of passengers of all classes, and
are eminently successful.
line of steamers under the British flag between South-
ampton and New York direct would bring very large im-
jrtations of American butter, cheese, bacon, pork, flour,
rd, oil-cake, and other articles of practically unlimited
consumption ; and such goods would be delivered in the
Laudon market in the best condition, in 11 days from New
41),..,11; at moderate through rates of freight.
The Transatlantic Steamship Company therefore pro-
fs° in the first instance to provide for a regular fortnightly
L'llice between Southampton and New York, by means of
Frevy steamships of 3,500 to 4,000 tons burthen, to perform
itle voyages within ten days, and each capable of carrying
40 first-class, 120 second, and 600 steerage passengers,
and 2,000 tons freight; added to which will be the Conti-
nental service between Southampton, Antwerp, and other
;srtlaera Continental ports. Two screw steamers of about
,P 0 tons each will be necessary for this purpose.
:-Fhe Directors propose to avail themselves in the design
,„-"u. equipment of the ships of the most modern improve-
Zntlic so that the utmost speed may be obtained and the
Z_eatest amount of available space for cargo and passengers
rured, together with economy in the consumption of
~,?ending tho construction of the necessary ships, the
4-(irectors will be a position, if needful, to open the traffic
ht, an early date by means of existing steamers, which may
be chartered or purchased for the service.
1,2 he Company, by its contemplated arrangements on
rlll. sides of the Atlantic, will command facilities possessed
gy no other line of American steamers. At the port of
iNuthampton important advantages are secured ; the Lon-
!Ion and South-Western Railway Company and the South-
-I.llpton Dock Company have adopted a liberal tariff in
Lavour of this Company, and will promote its success by
zel7 means. Through rates of freight from Antwerp,
taZre, London, and Southampton will convey merchandise
3E. European origin, not only for the supply of the Now
ork market, but to the whole area of railway commtmi-
ctien comprg the chief cities of the United States.
here can be no doubt but that the proposed line of
steamers will be highly remunerative. The calculations
„lade by parties of admitted experience have been based
„
the existing trade only, without regard to that largely
ihnereasing development which the restoration of peace must
"tvltably bring with it.
„lutePrposed capital is considered adequate for the im-
t- purposes of the New York servtce ; but as opera-
ti:tia in connection with the Southern ports are also con-
lllPlated, the Directors will take advantage promptly of
ern opening that may arise to establish a line to a South-
Pert, by steamers expressly adapted for that service,
s?_soon as circumstances may justify the step. A line of
am communication between the continent of Europe,
',a Southampton, and a port in the Southern States must
and ritually become a commercial necessity of the first class,
lbe highly remunerative.
_2l)on all moneys paid in advance of calls interest at the
'ate of 7 per cent. will be allowed from the date of pay-
'tent.
