NEW AND IMPROVED CONVEYANCE BETWEEN

GLASGOW • AND LIVERPOOL,
BY IRON STEAM •
ROYAL SOVEREIGN,
JOHN WARTHURt Commander,
ROYAL GEORGE,
ROBERT Coox, Commander ;
The GLASGOW and LIVERPOOL ROYAL STEAM-
PACKET COMPANY have, in the construction of _these
splendid Iron Ships, made every arrangement for speed, com-
fort, and safety. They are . divided into five sections, bb
means of iron partitions, or bulkheads, both air and water
tight, guarding, in an especial way, passengers and goods
from nay danger that may arise from fire or water, and would,
with reference to the latter, preserve their buoyancy under
circumstances which would at once be fatal to any vessel
built of timber. • • •
These -vesselS proceed with passengers and goods direct
from Liverpool to Glasgow, thereby avoiding.the great incon-
venience to passengers of trans-shipment into small river
boats at Greenock, and securing delivery of goods at Glasgow
many Ithars sooner than can be done by wooden vessels.

The Company, in starting their new Ship, the ROYAL

who has sailed in the ROYAL SOVEREIGN bears the strongest
testimony to the advantage which iron vessels possess over
wooden vessels, by being altogether free from the unpleasant
effects of heat and bilge water, and considerably less liable to
sickness.

The ROYAL SOVEREIGN has riow plied six months, per-
forming in that time about 25,000 miles, loading and dis-
charging at the ports of Glasgow and Liverpool four times a
week, and never, in one instance, disappointed the public in
her hour of sailing as advertised. _ _ _

them, after payment of the Dividends, thus creating a com-
munity of Interests between the Shippers and Shareholders,
a principle which will best guarantee to its Proprietors a
certainty of their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-
tions of Goods and Live Stock the having a well-supported
Establishment of first-class Steamers, and the lowest rate of
freight compatible with due attention to their maintenance.
