In accordance with the resolut ions passed at a General
Meeting of Shareholders, held aft he Offices in Paris on Sa-
turday, the 15th March, 1856, the objects of this Company,
which was originally formed for ti to commercial purposes of
communication between France an d Ports in the Indian Seas,
with clipper-built Sailing Ships, l cave been considerably ex-
tended and the system of operatic ns materially improved ; it
haivng been determined to unite the maritime enterprise of
the two greatest mercantile comm unities in Europe—England
arra torance—and to substitute ec rew steam clippers, of first-
rate sailing capacity, with auxin try propeltheg power.
The undertaking combines all the elements of success that
can be contributed by each COLT: etry. The n ewly-developed
commercial requirements of Fraru 3e afford high.profitable em-
ployment, and the cheap and lung-established constructive
skill of England provides the bel st immediftte -means ; whilst
the capital, mercantile connect ions, and -nautical genius of
both countries are united in a common object of the most
important and remunerate cha ratter. ender such encou-
raging circumstances the Company ha• /0 arranged to com-
mence operations at once by a. line o f Screw Clippers, of
about 2,400 tons average register t onnage, to sail regu-
larly from Havre to Calcutta, tout' ding at the Ile de la
Reunion (Bourbon), and such other intermediate Indian
ports as may be selected. It is als• 3 proposed to open a
communication, upon an early day wi th the Brazils, and via
the Brazils, with the Cape of Good Ho pc,. The sh*ps will call
at the port of Southampton, outward • and homeward, to re-
ceive or land goods. specie, and passer igers,
To open these lines without dela. r, a fine fleet of clipper
screw steamers, of established reputa Lion, has been purchased
from the General Screw Steam-Snipping Company, -viz.:—
Ja=on. irgo. •
Golden Fleece. Kneen of the South.
Indiana. Lady Jocelyn.
Calcutta. I )13, daspes.
By this important purchase the Ce Impany will be protected
from the loss which would necessarily follow from their capi-
tal lying unproductive while a now • beet was being built and
equipped, and be at once prepared i co open their trades with
the most faithfully-constructed stea m clippers in existence—
possessing the prestige of their pi vvious employment, and
the very high character they have s ince, sustained in the tran-
sport of the British and French Go vernments.
A portion of the capital will be open for subscription in
England and the Colonies.
Each application for shares mus' ;be made in the appended
form, accompanied by a payment c if 25f. or 1/. per share on
the number required, I- r which a t 'toucher will be given. In
the event of less than the whole mu xtber of shares ap lied for
being allotted, the number paid in etxcess will be applied to-
wards the balance of 75f. or 3/. pt r share, then payable.
Should no allotment be made to t ho applicant, the rooney
thus lodged will be returned, free o f a. barge, within a -w%ect:
rom the day of general allotment.
Calculations carefully made by those
most experienced in
the traffic of France, and the exp•Jrts frc in Belgium, Switr-
m
land, and Germany, via Havre, 1. pith tiro ascertained want ttf
steam communication between the ports ss lected by this Com-
pany, warrant the Directors in stating theft • conviction that ni
maritime enterprise ever commenced under more favourable!
auspices, or with fairer prospects of yielding large returns to
the proprietary.

When the capital is fully subscribed, an apt blication will be
made for permission to convert this company, s Thich is at pre-
sent established under the French commercial is w as a Societe
en Commandite, into a Societe Anonym°, and tire gentlemen
composing the Committee of Supervision in England will be-
come members of the Council in Paris.

"That night Sir John Duller gave notice of his mo•
tion (the terms of which Sir Robert Peel himself settled \ ;
the whip was issued, the party called together, the
debate took place, and, on a division; the Government
had—lor them—the respectable , majority of 21 ; and
Lord Melbourne's Administration, which, if Sir
Robert Peel's prudent advice had been followed, must
have fallen to pieoes.within a month, had new life infused
into it, and it continued to live on for two years—tle
same process of galvanism having been applied to their
body politic that proved so successful in the hands of
Professor Whiteside in the recent case. On that occa-
sion the waulb-be leaders who urged on Sir Robert Peel
appealed after the division to the fact that Sir Robert
had settled the terms of the resolution, and that he urged
the party to suppOrt it, in order to make it seem that
the thought originated with himself ; but they suppressed
all allusion to the fact that he warned the party of the
danger they were incurring, and that he prophesied with
the greatest accuracy what would, and what actually
did, occur. There were in those days wringings of hands
at the Car:ton as there are just now—there were curses,
not loud but deep, hurled upon the heads of those who
originated the false move—there are curses, both loud
and deep, at present fulminated against the devoted head
of the representative for Enniskillen ; and yet he talks
of being envied.' There is not, and, despite his over-
weening, vanity, he must know it—there is not, I repeat,
so unpopular a person at present connected with the
Conservative party as the gentleman who bad the folly
to boast that a Ministerial majority of 127 did not
amount to a Conservative defeat, but, on the confrary,
was equivalent to `a moral triumph.' One more such
triumph, and 'the fee of life will be eternal' in the Pat-
nierst.n Administration.

" Great goo J, however, arose from the defeat of Sir
John Buller: It gave Sir Robert Peel complete control
over the party. Even the. backsliders of that day ad.
mitted that a premature 'attempt to displace a Govern-
ment was the. surest way to keep tbeifi in office.
Whether or no Mr. Whiteside will learn prudence from
the lessoh so dearly purchased on the night of Thursday,
May 1, remains to be seen.
" Tne division on Sir John Buller's motion is worth
reprinting. On that occasion Ministers voted 303—the
Conservativei 232 On Mr. Whitesideas motion the
Government voted precisely the same numbers as on
Sir J. Buller's motion—namely, 303, while the Conser-
vatives could muster only 176 ; and in their ranks could
be found 10 Irish Roman Catholic members, thus leav-
ing the available Conservative force (though by no means
its actual numbers) at 166."
