" The treat Ship *CompanY (Limited)" .has been formed to
purchase the "Great:Eastern,' and to equip her as a first-
class Passenger Ship.
The.cost_ per ton at which this. vessel, ready is all re-
spects for sea, will come ihto the possession of the Company
is less than that of a-first-class Sailing...vessel, and Vot much
more than one-fourth that, of a first-class steamer ; while, in
comparison with the" latter her •ivorking expenses will be
proportionably less, owing to her immense size, which enables
her to carry double the proportionate tonnage; at nearly
double the velocity:
"With a high rate of speed, the freedom from disturbing •
motion her great length will give, and the enormous strength
of her construction, the "Great Eastern" canuotfail to obtain
the prefererce of travellers and emigrants, and secure the
freight of goods requiring speedy delivery ; although it is not
necessary she should carry her full complement of either to
arrive at an exceedingly profitable result upon the reduced
capital of the new company.
An estimate of the first year's work of the "Great Eastern "
has been prepared, and the result is-such as toleave, after ps y-
ing a dividend of 15 percent., a large margin for contingencies;
but apart froM the considerations of profit which properly be-
long to all mercantile operations, there are others which invest
the successful prosecution of this undertaking with something
of national importance. It is hardly too much to say, that to no
other country could such 'a creation have been possible, and
certainly on no other could it confer such advantages. With
Colonies and dependencies. in- every region where external
aggression may have unexpectedly to be resisted, or internal
commotion suppressed, the resources of the empire would be
multiplied, and its power almost doubled, by the rapidity
with which-they could by her aid be concentrated for every
emergency.
Detailed prospectuses, full particulars, and forms of appli-
cations for shares may be obtained from the Brokers, or at
the Offices of the Company, as under.
