and Direttors give notice that, in consequence of the great
Vndimimislrd demand for Steam Vessels upon the Indian
ers, and the Wide field presenting', itself for their profitable
e,nl"lro 11Ywent, they; have resolved to double the capital of the

The D rectors

_y forwarded frorn„,this country in August ot, have now
arrived safely in India, and.will commence plying upon, the

Before embarking in the present undertaking the Directoii
2ad 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,
workshops, and depot, 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 corn-
, 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
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
i_PaPitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the
irectors are constantly receiving ; and they content them-
;elves, therefore, with givingthe 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.
" It is not only Government but the whole nation that seems
enliaa• Any day during the last year we might have filled
oRt• columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de-
Zille of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy
r.ilolnation of the Russian War. But what do we now hear
'Pot India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are
.oout. Month after month they are expecting the steamers that
'tlire to come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company
l'clare this month,' says our correspondent, a dend
ZlOO and upwards per cent. The Home Government had
i.ll requested to send out six river steamers, and It had sent
th °WY one, which, it said, would be enough." Next month,'
continues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en-
tage all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would
rave bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is
:pin and Work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges
tice,,flowin, as it does, through a territory with a ponoula-
-44,1f 350 to the square mile, with an export trade of
y",,,w0,0000, and an internal trade beyond human calculation.
tue"• with this vast opening before us, there are found men In
„_e prime of life neither' schoolboys nor dotards, who can

ocr,onient to find them customers for their shipping. Many

Ac owe the real opening of the Indian navigation British
'ilterprise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But
burn sat ; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders
and 1,.
rm_SkoDowners, if they are Englishmen.'!
Directors have all along felt that neither the vessels
h"'elTthey have already sent to India, nor those which they
present in preparation, could do much to satisf y the
Rl'egrant of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that
Ne;°,,i,intrY. But they have also all along felt that the only safe
„3". of entering upon such an undertaking was not to rush
"
ti,° it with sanguine precipitation, but to advance with gra-
-1,,„al prosa steps, and without being dazzled by the
,'"`,:repect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how-
-1,: Shares been successfully taken. the whole of the exist-
" in the Company having been allotted, and being
r' a premium in the market and the field being so large as to
Directors
a large capital to work, it in an efficient manner, the
virectors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi-
-41 of the Company may be advantageously increased, and
isillion ev have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital to half a
sterling without delay. •
