„ is proposed to establish the above company for the pur-
ee of sending out from this country steamers to navigate
e inland rivers of India.
The profitable nature of such an undertaking has been
placedy, beyond all doubt by the fact that an association, "The
"'lilt General. Steam Navigation Company," has just declared
a dividend of upwards of 100 per cent.
The following' extract from a leading article, of the" Times,"
Of
-the 29th January, points out in very forcible language the
profitable nature of au undertaking such as the one proposed.
"Bat what do we now' hear from India? -They wondet
there what our shipbuilders are about. Month after month
they are expecting the steamers that are to come. The In-
dian General Steam Navigation Company declares this month,'
says our correspondent, a ' dividend of 100 and upwards per
cent. The home Government had been requested to send out
six river steamers, and it had sent out only one, which, it
Said, would be enough. Next month,' continues our infor-
' the Indian Government had to engage all the freight
of six for two trips at a price which would have bought the
flew vessels wanted twice over.' There is room and work,
We are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges alone, flowing as
it does through a territory with a population of 350 to the
Square mile, with an export trade of £16,000;000, and.
an internal trade beyond human calculation. Yet, with this
vast opening before us, there are found men in the prime of
life, neither schoolboys nor dotards, who can west their time
is holding meetings and memorialising Government to find
them customers for their shipping. Many a time ere this has
vrar ministered to peace, infusing a quicker element into its
idle, dreamy soul. To this mutiny, perhaps, we owe the real
(Wenil!g of the Indian navigation to British enterprise, and
t e railways which are certain to follow. But, verbum sat,
we have said enough to start our .shipbuilders and ship-
owners, if they are Englishmen."
, The East India Steam Navigation Company (Limited) will
have the advantage of commencing its operations with an
entirely new fleet of steamers, constructed on the latest and
Most improved principles.
_ The deep interest which the Government of India and the
various Indian Railway Companies must naturally have in the
success of this undertaking, promises to the proprietors an
amount .of support not usually commanded by public com-
Panics;
The affairs of the company will be managed in the manner
adopted by the “Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company,,,
and the various Indian Railway Companies, that is by a board
rill!arectors in London, and an agency and superintendents in
Aul •
~pplication for shares must be accompattled by the bankers'
'7.eeitpt for the sum of 10s. for every share applied for. Forms

the Company; and at the brokers and bankers.

The Directors give notice that, in consequence of the great
and undiminished demandfor Steam Vessels upon the Indian
rivers, and the wide field presenting itself for their profitable
„eraployment, they have resolved to double the capital of the
,oman • . _
- Th e D rectors have the satisfaction of announcing that the
tsteamers and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which
hey forwarded from this country in August last, have now
rrived safely in India, and will commence plying upon the
rivers without delay. An equal number of vessels of still
greater power is at present in preparation, and will be sent
out as soon as possible.
h 13efore ad embarking in the present undertaking the Directors
N not only satisfied themselves of its eminently profitable
atUre, but they had secured for it the marked co-operation
of the Indian Government, by the acquisition of a subsidy ;
and the Government, both by the gift of land for stations,
!rorkshops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other
twat3:, has rendered
same time
aid to the present under-
pie"flg. At the same time the Directors have insured coin:
e exemption from Government control and interference;
asend this is- the only Company so distinguished which pos-
sesses any Government support.
tb, e Directors have the satisfaction of finding that not only
Whole-Reports of the Company's servants in India, but the
c 4 concurrent testimony of the advices received from that
f "trY. IhrOllgh whatever channel, completely confirms the
yfourable anticipations they long since formed of the profit-
,:_ue,character of the present undertaking. It would be im-
coasible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to
ijfanitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the
a rectors are constantly receivingthey content them-
relvea, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a
I.eeent leading article Times," which shows that simi-
iflnformation had been reaching that paper through its
-"tau correspondents.
From the ' Times,' Jan. 29, 1859.
• r "It is not only Government but the whole nation that seems
' oeullsa• Any day during the last year we might have filled
columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de-
iTue of their trade, owing in a great meaSure to the happy
. i.crnrmination of the Russian War. But what do we now hear
India ? They wonder there what our are
out. Month after month they are expecting the stetmers that
areti to come. ` The Indian General Steam Navigation Company
Jelare this month,' says our correspondent, ' a dividend
t5!,,!00 and upwards per cent. The Home Government had
f7v..n requested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent
°nlY one which, it said, would be enough." Next month,'
ou'r informant, 'the Indian Government had to en-
' W‘age all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would
' Ze bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is
• Z),411 and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges
11,.°wIng, as it does, through a territory with a popula-
-41(1,°' 350 to the square mile, with an export trade of
1,,,i.'"`"0000, and an internal trade beyond human calculation.
th-, with this vast opening before us, there are found men in
° Prime of life, neither schoolboys nor dotards, who can
aste their time in holding meetings and memorialising Go-
it'eSultient to find them customers for their shipping. Many
ere this has ar m peace, infusing a quicker
tnent into its idle,w dreamy soustered to
l. To hiss Mutiny, perhaps,
4,we the real opening of the Indian navigation to British
pn,,c_rPrise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But
.noum sat; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders
-"zghlpowners, if they are Englishmen."
—,l,fie Directors have all along felt that neither the vessels
zynieh they have already sent to India, nor those which they
have at present in preparation, could do much to satisfy the
Lerreti? want of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that
trY. But they have also all along felt that the only safe
,of entering upon such an undertaking was not to rush
into
it with sanguine precipitation, but to advance with gra-
dual and Cautious steps, and without being dazzled by the
If_tregeprospact of profits it holds out. The first steps, how-
r, having been successfully taken, the whole of the exist-
-911,' Shares in the Company havino- been allotted, and being
at a premium in the market, and the field being so large as to
require a large capital to work it in an efficient manner, the
Directors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi-
tal of the Company may be advantageously increased, and
they have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital to half a
raillion sterling without delay-.
Applications for the new Shares must be forwarded to the
Directors, at the offices of the Company, 9, Billiter-street,
London, on or before the 28th day of February next ; and
existing Shareholders will have a preference in the allotment.
A deposit of two shillings per Share to be made on appli-
cation.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
!egially qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
IniPortanee in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para-
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
Prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.

rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
