4vers

eT„,, +-and the wide field presenting itself for their profitable
c—volraent, they have resolved to double the capital of the
ornpany.
ttirhe Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that the
~eaniers and barges, consisting of twelve vessels hi all, which
they forwarded from this country in August last, have now
I'rrived safely in India, and will commence plying upon the
rivers 'without delay., An equal number of vessels of still
gri),„e',. 'ter power is at tesent in preparation, and will be sent'
soOn as possible.
tiefore embarking in the present undertaking the Directors
ofnot only Aatistied themselves of its eminently profitable
,ttture, but they had secured. for it the marked coperation

workshops,
Government, both by the gift of land for stations,
Nr—„,.'",hops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other

ej engeceAmpt he same time the Directors have insured com-
plete from Goiernment control and interference;
this is the only Company so distinguished which pos-
sesses any
tors
ment support.
thrl'ilr Directors have the satisfaction of finding that not only
neports of the Company's servants in India, but the
co ole concurrent testimony of the advices received from that
eauntrY, through whatever channel, completely confirms the
airurable anticipations they long since formed of the profit-
130.Maracter of the present undertaking. It would be-
e:"l?te, however, within the limits of an advertisement, o
blintulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the
selv'eest°rB are constantly receivingthey content them-
reac , therefore, with giving the following quotation fro a

forrnation had been reaching that paper through its
Indian Correspondents.

g_co at present in preparation, could do much to satisfy the

a -r
p emium in the market, and the field being so large as to
.o.nire a large capital to work it in an effibient manner, the
V.l,rectors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi-
au of the Company may be
ovaadntageously increased, and
''million "e 3, have, therefore, resolved raise the' capital to half a
sterling without delay.
tAPplications for the new Shares must be forwarded to the
tirectors, at the offices of the Company, 9, Billiter-street,
London on or before the 28th day of February next.
A deposit of two shillings per Share to be made on appli-
cation, and the Bankers' receipt for that amount to be for-
Warded with the application for Shares.
The New Shareholders will stand on precisely the same
terms as the Original Shareholders, and will participate in
the dividend as soon as it is payable.
Calls will not be more frequent than once every three
months nor for more than £2 per share, at any one time. Five
Per cent. will be paid upon all calls until the dividend is de-
clared, and upon all payments hi advance of calls.
