The Directors give notice that, in consequence of the great
rive undiminished demand for Steam Vessels upon the Indian
•,rers, and the wide field presenting itself for theit profitable
evinPluYment, they have. resolved to double the capital of the
...orapany.
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
livers 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
Uature 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 advises 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 irn-
Possible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to
capitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the
!rectors 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
Jadian correspondents.
'"

From the Times,' Jan. 29, 1859.
" It is not only 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-
cline of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy
termination of the Russian War. But what do we now hear
from India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are
about. Month at ter month they are expecting the steamers that
are to come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company
ceclare this month,' says our correspondent, a dividend
o,l'loo and upwards per cent. The Home Government had
been requested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent
out only one, which, it said, would be enough.' Next month,'
eontinues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en-
gage all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would
trave bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is
room and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges
alone, flowing, as it does, through a territory with a popula-
tion of 350 to the square mile, with an export trade of
..,.£16,000,0000, and an internal trade beyond human calculation.
I et, with this vast opening before us, there are found men in
the prime of life, neither schoolboys nor dotards, who can
Waste their time in holding meetings and memorialising" Ga-
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
eountry. 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 ; and
existing Shareholders will have a preference in the allotment.
A deposit of two shillings per Share to be made on appli-
Cation.
