India, Australia, China, and the adjacent regions, contain a popu-
lation of more than half the number of the inhabitants of the
globe, and teens with every product which con minister to the wants
of man.

To carry out effectually and economically steam communication
with those countries is the object of this Company, for whose ore-
rations there is an ample and profitable field, especially as regards
our numerous and valuable colonies in the Southern Pacific, which
have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portions of the British empire unconnected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.
The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany is vii Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantages of
which are, that Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be bi ought to a certainty within G 4 or
65 days of London (frequently in 60), and within less than 30 days
of Judie. The coal etatioxs are convenient, excellent coal from the
pits at Newcastle, New South Wales, can be pat on board there at
75. to 7s. 6d. per ton.
Prospectuses, with forms of application for shares, and further
information may be had on application at the otllcos of the Com-
pany, where a copy of the Royal Charter of Incorporation may be
