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
Company.
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
ecent leading article in the "Times," which shows that simi-
lar information had been reaching that paper through its
Indian correspondents.
the 'Times,' Jan. 29, 1859.
It is not only From Government but the whole nation that seems
remiss 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.om India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are
about. 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
of 100 and upwards per cent. The Home Government had
ueen requested to send out would river steamers, and it had sent
out only one, which, it said,be enough." Next month,'
Continues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en-
Pge all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would
"re bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is
room
, and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges
Voile, flowing, as it does, through a territory with a popula-
Pn_of 350 to .the square mile, with an export trade of
-F",,u'akoooo, and an internal trade beyond human calculation.
the prime
this vast opening before us, there arc found men in
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,
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 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
million 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.

per Share to be made on appli-
cation, and the tankers' receipt for that amount to be for-
warded with the application for Shares.

terms as the Original Shareholders,

clared, and upon all payments in advance of calls.

SELF-PRESERVATION : A Medical Treatise
on NERVOUS DEBILITY and FUNCTIONAL
" EAKNESS, more particularly in reference to the INFIR-
MITIES and DISORDERS of the GENER ATIVE SYSTEM;
tracing— the Origin of these distressing. afflictions to causes
which vitiate the very fountains of Life and prematurely de-
stroy the vigour of Manhood. With Practical Observations
on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re-
storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in Sperm atorrbcea,
Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without
pain or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid
of medicine.

Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary
Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. &C.
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
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
importance 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.
In cases where the vital essences haveben weakened by the
influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, "hardship, or by iniudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible.
