The object of this Company is to establish, under one
control and management in London, a direct and
thoroughly effective line of telegraph, via Egypt and
Aden, to India, with extensions hereafter to Singapore,
China, Japan, and Australia. The route of the proposed ,
line (which is shown on plans, to be obtained at the offices
of the Company) is the route by which all the mails,
passengers, troops, and overland merchandise between
this country and the East, are forwarded.
The present condition of telegraphic communication
with India is most unsatisfactory. Commercial messages
usually occupy many days in their transmission, and
arrive not only in a mutilated, and frequently un-
intelligible, form, but also without regard to priority of
date, thereby misleading those who place any reliance
upon thorn. From the many countries, differing in
language and administration, through which the messages
pass, it is impossible to obtain either explanation or re-
dress ; while the cost, distance, and delays are too great
to admit of corrections being obtained by repetition.
The necessity for a thorough change of the existing
system has been repeatedly urged by the several Chambers
of Commerce in India, and is universally felt in this coun-
try. The establishment of the direct telegraphic route to
India, by way of Aden, as proposed by this Company,
forms one of the most important recommendations of the
recent Parliamentary committee on East India communi‘:,a-
tions.
Under a well-organised system the averaga time of
transmission of a message between London and Bombay
ought not to exceed six hours. In order to effect this, and
to secure uninterrupted communication between England,
Egypt, Aden, and India, provisional arrangements have
been made for the transfer to this Company, when the line
between Egypt and Bombay is completed, or earlier if this
Company desire, of
1. A concession from the Italian Government for the
exclusive use, for 41 years, of a line of telegraph from
Susa (where the French lines terminate) to Modica, in
Sicily, to be worked by English clerks appointed by this
Company.
2. The agreement for a lease front the British Govern-
ment of the existing Malta and Alexandria cable for the
term of 42 years from May, 1865.
3. The agreement for a lease for 21 years (with the op-
tion of purchase) of the existing land lines of the telegraph
to India Company, between Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez,
together with the concessions and firmans held by that
Company for establishing telegraphs from Egypt to Aden
and India.
Between Modica and Malta the messages will, for the
present, pass by the short line of the Mediterranean Ex-
tension Telegraph Company; but the Italian Government
have granted a concession which will be vested in this
Company for continuing their independent line from Sicily
by a submarine cable direct to Tripoli, or other point on
the African coast, and it is proposod to exercise this right
at an early period in order to secure a second route (avail-
able in the event of interruption on the existing lines) be-
tween Sicily and Alexandria.
The direct route front London to Suez will, it is antici-
pated, be in actual work during the present year, and the
Company have entered into a contract with the Telegraph
Construction and Maintenance Company for making and
laying a thoroughly efficient line of telegraph (about 3,650
nautical miles in length) from Suez to Bombay, including
station buildings, instruments, and all expenses, for the
sum of £1,100,000, of which £lOO,OOO is to be retained by
this Company until the successful completion of the whole
of the work; £95,000 of the contract sum is to be paid in
shares of this Company, and £95,000 in debentures. Tho
contract provides for the completion of the entire line from
Suez to Bombay, in working order, to the satisfaction of
this Company's engineers. The entire line to be completed
in the course of next year, or at latest in the May follow-

ing.
It will bo seen, therefore, that except through France
and over the short line of 60 miles from Modica to Malta
(which, however, is worked by English clerks), this Com-
pany will have under their own management, and worked
exclusively by an English staff, the whole lino of telegraph
from England to Bombay, an advantage the possession of
which will tend greatly to insure a rapid and accurate
transmission of messages.
It is scarcely necessary to remark upon the vast com-
mercial as well as national importance of this undertaking.
The number of messages transmitted between England
and India by the present slow and uncertain route, via the
Persian Gulf, with all the objections and uncertainties at-
tending it, was last year over 30,000, with an average of
30 words per message ; and the Directors of this Company
aro assured by India merchants and other compotent judges
that with a direct and reliable route worked t.s now pro-
posed the number of messages by the now lino will at once
be treble those now sent.
The cost of acquiring the lines from Susa to Modica and
Malta to Alexandria will be £lOO,OOO, payable in cash or
shares, plus any necessary expenditure or liability incurred
with the sanction of this Company.
The rent payable under the lease from the Telegraph to
India Company will be £1,500 per annum, to be increased
to £5,000 on completion of this Company's lino to India, the
higher rent being payable only whilst the submarine line is
in work. The Company have the option of redeeming this
rent and of purchasing the whole property of the lessors
for £50,000 in cash, or shares, at the choice of the pur-
chasers.

The return from the Company's lines when completed
to Bombay is estimated upon the basis of the present
charge of £5 is. per message of twenty words from London
to Bombay, as follows :
ANNUAL RECEIPTS.
Proportion due to the lines between Susa and
Alexandria in respect of traffic between Eng-
land and Egypt (the actual average of the re-
ceipts on the Malta and Suez lines for the last
four years)

will cover all the operations of the Company now proposed
between England and Bombay.
As evidence of this being a reasonable estimate, there is
the fact that the receipts for messages between this coun-
try and America by the Atlantic Cable were, for the first
sixmonths of its working, at the rate of £291,000 per an-
num, and that now, at the end of nine months only, thoso
receipts are at the rate of £430,000 per annum ; and it is
beyond question that the mercantile transactions between
Great Britain, India, China, and Australia exceed in mag-
nitude and value those between this country and America.
The extension of telegraphic communication throughout
the East will unquestionaltily develop° additional traffic in
proportion
to the facilities afforded, and the Company's
lines will possess abundant capacity for earning a larger
profit at greatly reduced charges.
It is proposed immediately upon the completion of the
cable to Bombay to establish land wires along the lino of
railway from thence to Calcutta. Those wires are esti-
mated to cost not exceeding £lOO,OOO, and the additional
revenue derivable therefrom is calculated at £25,000 to
£30,000 per annum.
Entire identity of .interest between this Company and
the Telegraph Con-struction and Maintenance Company,
both as respects the manufacture and laying of the new
Cable and the future working and commercial success of
the whole line, is established by means of a contract which
has been entered into with the latter Company for the re-
pairing and maintaining by them of all the cables, wires,
stations, and works of this Company, between Susa and
Bombay, as and when the several sections are opened for
traffic and transferred to this Company, for al period of
ten years certain, on equitable and mutually beneficial
terms. For the repayment of the expenses incurred
by the contractors for vessels, cable, materials, and ser-
vices of officers, engineers, and others provided by
them under this agreement, they rely upon a fund
to bo thus formed : 25 per cent. of the revenue is to
be credited each year to a reserve fund in the joint
names of the two Companies, which fund, after meeting
the actual cost of repairs and maintenance, is to accumu-
late until the clear amount thereof, after deducting all pay-
ments made or due therefrom, but including vessels, cable,
stores, &c., then forming part of such fund, not exceeding
£lOO,OOO in value, shall amount to £350,000, after which
the surplus from time to time existing beyond that amount
is to be divided each year between the Company and the
contractors, half to each. At the end of the term the
whole balance of the Maintenance Fund will belong to
this Company.
A copy of the memorandum of association is annexed to
the prospectus, and copies of the articles of association and

of all its concessicns, agreements, and contracts can be in-
spected at the offices of Messrs. 13ircham and Co. ; and all
applications for'shares UTAH be considertd as made subject
to the provisions of thosa.documents.
Applications' for shares, addressed to the Directors, must
be made in the accompanying form, but no application will
be considered without the previous payment to the bankers
of the deposit Of £1 per share, which will be returned in
case no allotment is made. If a less number be allotted
than is applied for, the surplus deposit will be appropriated
towards the payment due on allotment. If the balance
due on allotment is not paid within the time appointed by
the allotment letter, the Directors may cancel the allotment
and forfeit the deposit.
The deposits on applications for shares will be returned,
without deduction, if two-thirds of the capital be not sub-
scribed and allotted.
