ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been formed for the purpose of establish-
ing a powerful line of steamers from London to the Cape, Algoa
Bay, and Port Natal.
The steamers are intended to sail once a month, or oftener if
required, from London, and will call at a port in the Channel
to embark passengers, calling also at Madeira and St. Helena,
outwards, and homewards at Capetown. St. Helena, and Madeira,
performing the voyage, it is expected, each way in 35 days,
under steam.
The Eastern Province of the Cape Colony has long expressed a
wish that a good line of powerful steamers should be established
to and from London, on which they could rely for regularity,
speed, and accommodation. •
The following respecting the export of wool alone
to London from the Cape Colony will chew the rapid stride in
the commerce of the colony, and the opening for further steam
communication : •
In 1834 the Cape Colony exported 694 bales Wool.
1868 141,916 ~
•
JP
The above does not include exports from Natal.
A large intercolonial trade is carried on between Natal and
the ports in the Cape Colony, which it is intended to take ad-
vantage of, besides the direct cargo for London. Promises of
support have been given by shippers of wine from the Island of
Madeira.
It is expected that the recent discovery of diamonds in the
colony will also add considerably to the usual passenger traffic,
for which the steamers of this Company will be admirably con-
structed, and will add materially to the profits of this under-
taking.
Owing also to the recent improvements in machinery for tne
saving in the consumption of fuel, a considerable reduction
will be effected in the usual working expenses of steamers.
Careful estimates have been made of the probable expenditure
and earnings of the steamers, and from the large support that
has been promised, both here and abroad, the directors confi-
dently anticipate that the shareholders will receive a handsome
re.t.uneration for their investment.
The Directors and their friends have already agreed to take
a large number of shares in this undertaking.
No promotion money has been, or will be, paid for the forma-
tion of the Company.
Applications for shares to be addressed in the accompanying
form to the managers, N. Griffiths, Tate, anl Co., 4, East India-
avenue, but no application will be considered unless a deposit of
£2 for each share applied for shall have been previously made
with the bankers of the Company. In the event of no allotment
being made, the whole of the deposit will be returned.

TO THE ELECTORS AND RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE.
GENTLEMEN,-1 present myself as a Candidate
for Election to the London School Board as one of the
Representatives of Marylebone. I have incessantly and actively
advocated a system of National Unsectarian Education. For
twenty years I have studied the wants, the claims, the rights of
the people ; and have all that time been in the habit of expres-
sing my opinions, as a public journalist, on the questions which
havo arisen affecting their moral and material well-being.
I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub-
lic cause will recommend me to the place of honour I seek at the
new Education Council.
I represent no sect, no party, no clique, and am not specially
supported by any organisation. I base my candidature broadly
on my known participation in the political progresses of the last
twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of 1870 is
the most important.
Trusting to be favoured with your support on the day o
election,

I remain, Gentlemen,
Yours, faithfully,
BLANCHARD JERROLD.

Reform Club, Oct. 17th 1870.
