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
cenloinpi_oYment, they have resolved to double the capital of the
The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that the
;learners and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which
hey forwarded from this country in August last, have now
rived 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
bad 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 tne 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
cunettrrent testimony of the adyices received from that
Country, through whatever channel, completely confirms tile
favourable
anticipations since they long formed of the profit-
• character of the present undertaking. It would be lin-
Dessible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to
teeapitulate 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
Teeent leading article Times," which shows that simi-
tar information had been reaching that paper through its
Indian correspondents.
te 'Times,' Jan. , 1859.
" It is not only From Goverhnment but the whole nation that seems
remiss. Any day during the last year we might have filled
lr columns with the complaints of- shipbuilders at the de-
!line of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy
rrinination of the Russian War. But what do we now hear
from India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are
,rot. Month a f ter month they are expecting the steamers that
ie to come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company
:Clare this
upwards'month' says our correspondent, 'a dividend
ltoo and per cent. The Home Government had
QOO
requested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent
ce'r. °llly one, which, it said, would he enough." Next month,'
ntinues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en-
til`Ze all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would
'•
ve bough the new vessels wanted twice over. There is
and wtork, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges
tiotTe, flowing, as it does, through a territory with a popula-
-410,"„,,,,0f 350 to the square mile, with an export trade of
rw,oooo, and an internal trade beyond human calculation.
with this vast opening before us, there are found men in
e Prime of life, neither schoolboys nor dotards. who can
aste their time in holding. meetings and memorialising Go-
eridnient to find them customers for their shipping. Many
▪ dne ere this haN war ministered to peace, infusing a quicker
element into its idle, dreamy soul. To this Mutiny, perhaps,
oh„.• .°We the real opening of the Indian navigation to British
c`lerinise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But
and
sat ; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders
114,8h1Powners if they are Englishmen."
The Directors have all along felt that neither the, vessels
Vileh they have already sent to India,
d nor those which they
Lave at present in preparation, could o much to satisfy the
Zgreat want of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that
.11,11 try. But they have also all along felt that the only safe
d 7 ot entering- upon such an undertaking was not to rush
Lu it with sanguine precipitation, but to advance with gra-
-I,lal and cautious steps, and without being dazzled by the
Ze prospect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how-
. having been successfullitliken. the whole efithe exist-
:lg Shares in the Company having been allotted, and being
re aPremium in the market, and the field being so large as to
,Fnure a large capital to work it in an efficient manner, the
trctors are of opinion that the time is come when thecapi-
th Company may be advantageously increused, and
have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital to half a
.1111i0n sterling. without delay.
,i4plieutions for the new Shares must be forwarded to the
Vrectors, 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-
fition, 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
2rois as the Original Shareholderg and will participate in
the dividend as soon as it is payable.
Calls will not be more frequent than once every three
itionths 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.
