„cille Directors give 'notice that, in consequence of the great
ripe,.indiroinished demand for Steam Vessels upon the Indian
or,„,s• and the wide field presenting itself for their profitable
ClYtnent, they have resolved to double the capital of the

at Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that the
4,esiners and barges, consisting of twelve vessels in all, which
;:ie, forwarded from this country in August last, have now
trived safely in India, and will commence plying upon the
ojecr‘s Without delay An equal number of vessels of still
Oilia'er Power is at *present in preparation, and will be sent

th,.4a...e Directors have the satisfaction of finding* that not only
13' orts of the Company's servants in India, but the oi,„whole concurrent testimony of the advises received from that
fa."lltrY, through whatever channel, completely confirms the
ourable anticipations they long since formed of the profit-
-le.character of the present undertaking. It would be im-
13,fossible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to
,ca_ pitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the
f„'r_eee:ors are constantly receiving ; and they content them-
, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a iznrit leading article in the " Times," which shows that simi-
