I, This company is established for two reasons—first, because
'‘ is wanted ; and second, because it will pay. India wants/
tilleap means of conveyance for her produce; water conveyances
r cheaper than any possible mode of conveyance by land ; a ad
‘,ll thousand miles of this cheap water conveyance will be
Ifforded by the great rivers when properly navigated by steam.
the last dividend of the Ganges Steam Company was 48. per
4nt, per annum, and the latest returns of a Navigation Com-
yon the Goda,very was 55 per cent. The field, however,
in far too large to be adequately filled by local effort, and an
English Company is necessary, which, with adequate capital,
Vrill render available the resources of European science.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
Obtained at the offices, 9, Billiter-street, London.
