The late severe losses sustained by the shipping inletest of this
kingdom, and the Immense field opened to Great Munn for an ex-
tended and increasing commerce, by the enlighten/4i policy of out
Government, have caused a cerrespending.4ndextraordlnass riot in
the price of ship-building.
sSnclt, indeed, is now the 'demand for vesteis af all descriptions,
'ihat many persona, -desirous of employing their capital in shipping,
cannot be supplied by .the builders with the tonnage they require,
except at very high prices, or under .circumstances of delay, often'
defeating the more immediate purpose of their speculations.
It Is therefore proposed to establish' Company,fdt the purpose of
building Vessels in British North America, on contract and for.
sale, but it is intended for the present to coudne the operations of
the Company to Canada only. . .
. .
Immediate sales will be theoblect of the Company, but the Him--
tors shall be empowered to employ their shipping until disposed of,
and in case of need, to purchase wood cargoes for the purpose of
loading their vessels. . .
The various advantages to be derived by a Company, established'
for the purpose of ship-building in Canada, will not admit of detail
within the limits of a prospectus ;-but it may be observed that from
practical experience, thd foll Owing results may confidently he anti-
cipated: • • '-
r. 'Theimphaytnent of a numerous and useful class of persons in
the settlement ; and by a beneficial diffusion of capital and labour,
an increase in the national importance of the Colony.
2. An ample remuneration to the Proprietors, who, independent
of the local advantages which will attend their undertaking, may
reasonably look to the favourable rates of exchange, and the freight
in their ships consigned to this country for sale, as sources of coo-
siderable and immediate profit.
It remains only to add, that it is intended to construct vessels
adapted for all trades and purposes, under the particular inspection
of the Company's Agents, by practised shipwrights, and with such
doe attention to the selection and seasoning of the timber, as, it is
hoped, will materially improve the character of vesseli built in
Canada.
The capital of the Company is £500,000, raised in 10,000 shares
of £5O each, a portion of which will be reserved for persons in
Canada desirous of becoming shareholders.
The affairs of the Company to be conericted by the Board of
Directors. who shall have the power of insuring their property,
and of making all necessary regulations for the management of the
Company.
The Property of the Company to be vested in the names of
Trustees.
A Deed of Settlement will be prepared under the ablest legal
advice, and the Shareholders will be required to sign the same.
No Share shall be sold or transferred until after the payment of
all calls previously made; and then only with the consent of two
or more of the Directors.
An Insealment of A 5 per Share, to be paid into the hands of the
Milers to the Company forthwith, to the account of the Directors.
I),e notice to be given of alt further payments, which shall not at
one time exceati .C 5 per Share.
ComMUnicitionA to be addreiseal to the Secretary, to whom
.appleations for Shares may be made ; but no 'lenders can be re-
e&& &d after -Saturday the ‘2.5t1 itistatit.
