The Directors give notice that, in consequence of the great
and undiminished demand for Steam Vessels upon the Indian
rivers and the wide field presenting itself for their profitable
employment, they have resolved to double the capital of the
pa.
The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that the
steamers and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which
they forwarded from this country in August last, have now
arrived 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.
Before embarking in the present undertaking the Directors
had not only satisfied themselves of its eminently profitable
nature, 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,
Workshops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other
Way, has rendered every possible aid to the present under-
taking. At the same time the Directors have insured com-
plete exemption from Government control and interference ;
and this is the only Company so distinguished which pos-
sesses any Government support.
The Directors have the satisfaction of finding that not only
the Reports of the Company's servants in India, but the
Whole concurrent testimony of the advices received from that
country, through whatever channel, completely confirms the
favourable anticipations they long since formed of the profit-
able character of the present undertaking. It would be im-
possible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to
recapitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the
Directors are constantly receiving; and they content them-
selves, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a
recent leading article in the "Times," which shows that simi-
lar information had been reaching that paper through its
Indian correspondents.

-From the 'Times,' Jan. 29, 1859.
"RIB not only Government but the whole nation that seems
reartiss. Any day during the last year we might have filled
our columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de-
Vine of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy
from of the Russian War. But what.do we now hear
'r,Oni India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are
aoont. Month after month they are expecting the steamers that
are to come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company
declare this month,' says our correspondent, 'a dividend
21100 and upwards per cent. The Home Government had
ueen requested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent
out only one, which, it said, would be enough." Next month,'
Continues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en-
Eage all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would
'lave bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is
1.00, In and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges
ile, flowing, as it does, through a territory with a popula-
tion3so to the square mile, with an export trade of
irwoooooo, and an internal trade beyond human calculation.
„et, with this vast opening before us, there are found men in
ine prime of life, neither schoolboys nor dotards, who can
Waste their time. in holding meetings and memorialising Go-
vernment to find them customers for their shipping. Many
a time ere this has war ministered to peace, infusing a quicker
element into its idle, dreamy soul. To this Mutiny, perhaps,
owe the real opening of the Indian navigation to British
enterprise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But
Verbum sat ; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders
And shipowners, if they are Englishmen." .
,-the Directors have all along felt that neither the vessels
have
they have already sent to India, nor those which they
~_ave at present in preparation, could do much to satisfy the
eat want of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that
ewount 7. But they have also all along felt that the only safe
aV 0 entering upon such an undertaking was not to rush
'Jul() it with sanguine precipitation, but to advance with gra-
jual and cautious steps, and without being dazzled by the
arge prospect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how-
at'r,hg been successfully taken, the whole of the exist-
n! Shares in the Company having been allotted, and being
a premium in the market, and the field being so large as to
aaarge capital to work it in an efficient manner, the
irectors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi-
:tl of the Company may be advantageously increased, and
they have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital to half a
million sterling without delay.
Directors,
for the new Shares must be forwarded to the
'lrectors, 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 in advance of calls.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,
ut as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
utPortance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of pars-

Prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-

without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
