.cautile connections, and nautical genius of
.c. are united in a common object of the most
and remunerate character. Under such encou-

• v.rcumstances the Company have arranged to corn-
,* J operations at once by a line of Screw Clippers, of
gut 2,400 tons , average register tonnage, to sail regu-
,arly from Havro to Calcutta, touching at the Ile de la
bunion (Bourbon), and such other intermediate Indian
ports as may be selected. It is also proposed to open a
communication, upon au early day with the Brazils, and via
the Brazils, with the Cape of Good Hope.. The ships will call
at•the port of Southampton, outward and homeward, to re-
solve or laud goods, specie, and passengers.
To open these lines without delay, a fine fleet of clipper
screw steamers, of established reputation, has been purchased
from the General Screw Steam-Shipping Company, viz.:—
Jason. Argo. . .
Goidettfleace. Queen of the South.
Ind Lana, Lady Jocelyn.
Calcutta. I Hydaspes.
By this impartant purchase the Company will be protected
from the loss which would necessarily follow from their capi-
tal. lying unproductive while a new fleet was being built and
eqvipped, and be at once prepared to open their trades with
the most faithfully-constructed steam clippers in existence
poisessing the prestige of their previous employment, and
the very high character they have since sustained in the tran-
sport of the British and French Governments.
A. portion of the capital will be open for subscription in
-Englandand the Colonies.

Each application for shares must be made in the appended
form, accompanied by a payment of 25f. or 11. per share on
the number required, for which a voucher will be given. In

Wards the balance of 75f. or 31. per shire, then payable.
should no allotment be made to the applicant,. the money
thus lodged will be returned, free of charge, within a week
rem the clay of general allotment.
Calculations carefully, made by those most experienced in
the traffic of France, and the exports from Belgium, Switzer-
land. and Germany, via Havre, with the ascertained want of
steam communication between the ports selected by this Coro-
Palri, warrant the Directors in stating their conviction that no
InS4itime enterprise ever commenced ender more favourable
auspice's, or with fairer prospiets of yielding large returns to
the proprietary.
