.TEEE EASTERN STEAM NAVIGATION
1851 COMPANY, Incorporated b3rßoyal Charter,
limiting the liability of Subscribers to the amount for
• Which they subscribe.
TI to RAISE the Star of £220,000 by ANNUL
c,..111:8 for eight years payable out of the first profits of the
• Company.
The great Steamship of this Companyhaving been launched
ell the 31st January, and safely moored at Deptford, it was
resolved, at the Adjourned Annual Meeting of Proprietors,
held at the London Tavern, 17th April, 1858.
That a sum of £220,000 should be raised to equip the
AhiP for sea."
The Directors, in conjunction with the Shaieholders' Com-
' vnittee of Co-operation, have earnestly considered the best
'• teems of obtaining for the Subscribers of such sum a liberal
• return for their capital, and security for its repayment.
After mature deliberation, they have arrived at the condo-
lien, that the most speedy and profitable return can 'be ob-
tained by placing the vessel on the lino between England and
the United States.
The principal reasons which have induced this decision are
the following :
1• TIIE RouTs.—lbe transit between Europe and America
affords the largest passenger traffic in the world. The num-
.ber of passengers who have landed in Canada 9,nd the United
mates from Europe, amounted, in the last fourteen years, to
zeariy 4i millions, or an average of upwards of 300,000 per-
("US per annum. The great ship is peculiarly fitted for this
Voyage ; and the accommodation which she can afford to an
immense number of passengers is unrivalled as regards space,
ventilation, and all the other comforts which a large vessel
affords over a small one.
2. SPEED.--The average speed of the great• ship is esti-
mated at 16 knots an hour. At that rate she will accomplish
her passage between Holyhead or Liverpool and Portland,
State of Maine, in seven days. This important reduction in
• the time of transit across the Atlantic must ensure for the
,ship as Much of the passenger traffic which is constantly pass-
lug between Europe and America as she can carry; for
travellers invariably avail themselves of the shortest sea
transit, even at higher rates.
3. FARES.—The scale of passage money can be reduced
Proportionately with the reduction in the time of transit.
Per single voyages, Ist and 2d class passengers can be taken
at rates below the average now charged in the Anglo-Ame-
titan Steamers ; and the 3d class fares,,will very little exceed
those of the sailing vessels, which average about forty days on
their
passa--.
ev Further reductions can be made on return
' tickets,
4, Ranmar FACILITIES.—The London and North-Western
t."'ilvray Company of England, and the Grand Trunk R tilway
rePany of Canada (comprehending 1,500 miles of railway)
Zve agreed to give the Eastern Steam Navigation Company
,Portion of their receipts on all the ship's traffic passing over
Sett-Dines. These and other important Railway Companies,
A4ll well in Great Britain as on the Continents of Europe and
olerica, have arranged for working a joint-through traffic
ootribination with the Eastern Stea Navigatio Compan.
14Y these means passengers will bem conveyed,n under onye
Ipstena of management and for one payment, between the
ding cities of Europe, Canada, and the United States.
0. Touarsrs. —The foregoing facilities will enable. Euro-
pleaos desirous of visiting America, and Canadians and
tizens of the United States proposing to see Europe, to
ravel to given points on either of the continents, and to
return home, fora fixed sum, at a reasonable rate, with
ealiar facilities, and with such arrangements as to time as
44Y best suit their individual convenience. It is anticipated
that such facilities will tend greatly to develop traffic.
t, 6. PORTLAND. —The Bay of Portland teing the nearest liar-
-I'°llr of the United States to Europe and the coast terminus
of the Grand Trunk and other railways, affords peculiar ad-
• vantages. Safe and easy of access, the ship willlayafloat along-
side a wharf which the Municipal and State authorities have
otripleted in connection with the railways. The same autho-'
, cities have also agreed to ex mpt the ship from all dues,
Whether for lights, pilotage, or other local charges. Through-
cat the United states and Canada great anxiety prevails to
tee and visit her. Under date 26th April, 1858, the Mayor
of Portland writes—" I have been requestel [by the Board of
• Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Portland, to ascertain
from the Directors of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company
When their steamer will visit this city, and I shall feel obliged
if you will advise me as early as practicable of the time fixed
for her first trip, in order to enable our citizens to make the
necessary arrangements for the convenient accommodation of
the large number of persons who will visit her during her
stay here." Arrangements are in progress with the Directors
of the Railways in the United States which radiate from
Portland for participation in their profits from traffic to and
from the ship.
7. Casa°.=Tire great ship has not only vast capacity for
cargo, but will have peculiar facilities for its delivery. By
means of the Railways running from her to New York
Ind Boston, goods can be deposited at the very doors of the
• Merchants' Stores, not only earlier than by other moans of
nveyance, but free from any charge for light, rage or wharf-
-1/4- The same as regards Canada and the Western States of
the Union.
The Directors in submitting the following estimate of ex-
thPs4diture and easoings of the Ship for a year, desire to state
at it is founded on practical data, and that it is corrobcs
ated by the most experienced Passenger and Emigration '
Agents of the day.
a Thu principle adopted in framing this estimate, has been to
"arge against the ship the maximum of expenditure, and to
give credit only for the minimum of earnings, the capabilities
It the ship being greatly in excess of the estimated quantities.

has only been made for seven voyages per annum ; but it
„„t,he opinion of practical men that the ship can make eight,
"l'a possibly even nine voyages each year.
