it This company is established for two reasons—first, because
018 wanted ; and second, because it will pay. India wants
1a
Lp means of conveyance for her produce; water conveyance
i:eheaper than any possible mode of conveyance by land ; and
,'2,1 thousand miles of this cheap water conveyance will be
korded by the great rivers when properly navigated by steam.
last dividend of the Ganges Steam Company was 48 per
nt. per annum, and the latest returns of a Navigation Com-
CinY on the Godavery was 55 per cent. The field, however,
far too large to be adequately filled by local effort, and an
alglish Company is necessary, which, with adequate capital,
"la render available the resources of European science.
