SOLICITORS Messrs. Barron and Clarke, Bloomsbury-square.
India, Australia, China, and the adjacent regions, contain a popu-
lation of more than half the number of the inhabitants of the
globe, and teen 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 ope-
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 sanctioued by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantag
ofes of
which are, that Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole the
Australasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
65 days of London (frequently in 60), and within less than 30 days
of India. The coal stations are convenient, excellent coal from the
pits at Newcastle, New South Wales, can be pat on board there at
7s. to 7e. Gd. per ton.
Prospectuses, with forms of application for shares, and flirther
information may be had on application at the offices of the Com-
pany, where a copy of the Eva' Charter of Incorporatioa may be
