The late severe losses sustained by the shipping interest of this
kingdom, and tbeimmense field opened to Great Britain for an ex-
tended and increasing cosr.r..l,rce, by the enlightened policy of our
Government, have caused a corresponding and extraordinary rise in
the price of ship-building.
Such, indeed, is now the demand for vessels of all descriptions,
that many persons, desirous of employing their sapitirtn shipping,
cannot be supplied by the builders with the tonnage they require,
except at very high prices, m under circumstances of delay, often
defeating the more iminediate•purpose of their speculations.
It is therefore proposed to establish a Company,for the purpose of
building Vessels in British North America, on contract and for
sale, bat it is intended for the present to confine the operations of
the Company to Canada only.
Immediate sales will be theobjeet of the Company, but tbe Direst-
tots 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, the following results may confidently be anti-
cipated

1. The employment of a numerous and useful class of persons in
the settlement ; and by a beneficial diffusion of capital and labour,
as inerrasein the national importance of the Colony.
S. An ample remuneration to the Proprietors, who, independent
al' the local advantages which will attend their undertaking, mole
reasonably look to the favourable rates of exchange, and the freight
i• their ships Realigned to this country for sale, as sources of cos.
siderable and immediate profit.
ft 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
dee attention to the selection and seasoning of the timber, as, ft is
hoped, will materially improve the character of vessels built in
Canada.
The capital of the Company is £500,000, raised in 10,000 shares
of "so each, a portion of which will be reserved for persons in
Canada desires, of becoming shareholders.
The again of the Company to be conducted by the Board of
Directors, who shall have the rower of insuring their property,
and of making all necessary regulations for the management of the
Downplay,
'rho Property of the Company to be vested in the names of
Timm. •

A Deed of Settlement will be prepared under the ablest legal
■ieice, and the Shareholders will be required to sign thesame.
No Share shall be sold or transferred until after the payment of
an calls previously made; and then only with the consent of two
or more of the Directors.

An Insmiment of X 5 per. Share, to be paid into the hands of the
Bankers to the Company forthwith, to the account of the Directors.
Dee lades to be =seen of all further payments, whielishall not at
way Haw exceed is per Share.
All Ccesonnications to be addressed to the Secretary, to whom
ambrosias' for Shares may be made ; but no Tenders can be re-
