The Directors give notice that, in consequence of the great
and undiminished demandfor Steam Vessels upon the Indian
livers, and the wide field presenting itself for their profitable
rblPloYment, they have resolved to double the capital of the
,otapan
tThe arectors have the satisfaction of announcing that the
;earners and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which
47 forwarded from this country in August last, have now
:rived safely in India, and will commence plying upon the
out
without delay. An equal number a vessels of still
Pileater Power is at present in preparation, and will be sent
as, Soon as possible.
elbre embarking in the present undertaking the Directors
had not only satisfied themselves of its eminently profitable
iltue, but they had secured for it the marked co-operation
a the Indian Government, by the acquisition of a subsidy;
-21dri.th,e Government, both by the gift of land for stations,
Pr "flops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other
tap:, has rendered every possible aid to the present under-
pile`ing• At the same time the Directors have insured com-
plete exemption from Government control and interference ;
se_ this is the only Company so distinguished which pos..
'es anY Government support.
The Directors have the satisfaction of finding. that not only
v7i7,,,1tep0 currenthe Company's servants in India, but the
eti con testimony of the advices received from that
faT'LLrY, through whatever channel, completely confirms the
able character
anticipations they long since formed of the profit-
yvectors are
Dos 'e aracter of the present undertaking. It, would 13e im-
possible however, within the limits of an advertisement, to
‘ef-__ Pitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the
constantly receiving ; and they content them-
ri es, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a
Scent leading article Times," which shows that its
information had been reaching that paper through its
4dian correspondents.
From the Times,' Jan. 29, 1859.
re not not only Government but the whole nation that seems
_ Any day during the last year we might have filled
9r columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de-
term of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy
ination of the Russian War. But what do we now hear
IrPta India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are
rout. Month after month they are expecting the steamora that
declareme. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company
othis month,' says our correspondent, a dividend
1W and upwards per cent. The Home Government had
ren requested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent
?lit only one, which, it said, wouldbe enough.' 'Next month,'
°ontinues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en-
tage all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would
itliaje bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is
_ In and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges
whlg, as it does, through a territory with a popula-
l! n of 350 to the square mile, with an export trade of
chi,nne
--MOO, and an internal trade beyond human calculation.
„et, with this vast opening before us, there are found men in
'!_e Prime of life, neither schoolboys nor dotards, who can
_yaste their time in holding meetings and memorialising Go-
vernment to find them customers for their shipping. Many
4.xlme ere this has war ministered to peace, infusing a quicker
element into its idle, dreamy soul. To this Mutiny, perhaps,
We 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
Which they have already sent to India, nor those which they
have at present in preparation, could do much to satisfy the
great want of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that
country. But they have also all along felt that the only safe
Way 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
large prospect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how-
ever, having been successfully taken, the whole of the exist-
ing Shares in the Company having been allotted, and being
at a Dremittm 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
million sterling without delay.
Directors,
for the new Shares must be forwarded to the
jirectors, at the offices of the Company, 9, Billiter-street,

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are sufferin from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoTatives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
df Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA •
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
'
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs 'as, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medicalreader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any o ther equally fiaovant evil
Gazette. which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the
. sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
!' We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter.
