paid-up and invested.)
This Company has been formed fur the purpose of carrying
on the communication, by means of Steam Navigation, between
England and British India and other stations under the limits of
the charter of incorporation applied for, as well as the esta-
blished line of steam-vessels now conveying the mails to the
Peninsula under contract with her Majesty's Government.
The Company's contracts with her Majesty's Government
embrace the conveyance of the India mails between England
and Alexandria, also the mails and despatches between Malta
and the lonian Islands and between England and the Peninsula,
for which services the Government have contracted to pay
66,8001, per annum.

The Company is formed under circumstances peculiarly fa-
vourable for ensuring a profitable return to the proprietary.
Ist. It is alreadypossessed of property in steam shipping in
profitable employment to a large amount.
2d. fhe management is under the direction of parties who
have a competent knowledge ofall the details connected with
steam navigation, derived from sixteen years' practical expe-
rience.

3d. An important branch of the Company's business arises
from an already established intercourse with the Peninsula.
4th. ft is in possession of two advantageous mail contracts
with Government.
The Company being already provided with the establishment
necessary for carrying on its present operations and existing
mail contracts, the additional vessels required for extending the
communication to India will be contracted for as soon as the
Royal charter of incorporation, which has been applied for, shall
have passed the Great Seal.
The Directors only intend to issue at present a limited num-
ber of shares at par, any further issue being reserved until after
the payment of a dividend, when, from the circumstances and
prospects of the concern, no doubt is entertained that the shares
will command a high premium.
The conditions required by the Lords of the Privy Council
in respect of the bona fide property and paid-up capital of the
Company having been complied with to their Lordships' satis-
faction, the Directors rely on their application for a Royal
charter being agreed to, but it is not deemed expedient at pre-
sent to issue a prospectus.
Proposals from the majority of the Subscribers to the Ben-
gal Steam Fund, for a union with this Compauy, have been
lately received by the Directors, are now under consideration,
and which there is little doubt will terminate favourably. In
the mean time, a vessel of 1,600 tons, and 500 horses power,
has been contracted for by their London Agents, to form the
first of a line of vessels, of similar size, to run between Cal-
,7utta, Madras, Ceylon, and Suez.
