The principle of this Company is that of attaching all
IMPorters and Exporters, by a Division of the Profits among
them, after payment of the Dividends, thus creating a com-
aunity of 'lnterests between the Shippers and Shareholders,
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.

11114 MEMORIAL OF THE UNDERSIGNED BANKERS, MER-
-ORANTS, TRADESMEN, AND OTHERS, RESIDENT AT THE
PORT OF LIVERPOOL.
Shetveth,
HAT your Memorialists being deeply interested in the
welfare and prosperity of the West India Islands and
'olonies, have learned with great satisfaction that it is the
intention of her Majesty's government to establish a commu-
9jeation, by Steam Vessels, between those dependencies and
tireat Britain.
That in establishing such a communication, it is highly
desirable that the Port to be selected for the departure and
arrival of the Steam Vessels should be such as to afford ge-
neral convenience to the public service, and to all classes of
Persons likely to take advantage of such communication,
PfetY to the navigation of the vessels to be employed, faci-
'ties for the building and repairing such vessels and their en-
gine
'autfit. s, and cheapness in procuring their fuel and general
t; That your petitioners submit that the Port of Liverpool,
oo eminent degree, combines all the requisites for the
at qualification.
It is
the whole
the most central, but the most accessible
port
lifocf. the whyole United Kingdom of Great Britain and
at . The several Railroads between Liverpool and Man-
ellel7,2 Li,iverpool and Preston, Liverpool and Bolton,
already
between and thence to London, being already
eted and in active operation ; and the several Railroads
tot, and thence Lorulon and Southampton, Birmingham and Bris-
to Exeter, Manchester, and Leeds, and
tahnrednLeert4"airilall, between Manchester and Derby, Sheffield
Preston and Lancaster, being now in pro-
year—g ess, and which will be opened in the course of the present
.
.thereby affording 'a direct and rapid communication
which
parts of the north, south, east, and west ; besides
~hich there are powerful Steam-boats plying daily between
tiriasgow and Liverpool, Dublin and Liverpool, and all the
other principal ports in Ireland, some of which have exten-
sive intercourse with the West India Islands and Colonies.
That, in addition to the trade carried on by Liverpool with
the West India Islands and Colonies, the port is the great
outlet for all the manufacturing districts of Lancashire,
Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire,
including a population of upwards of 3.000,000 persons,
Islands a
which have also extensive connexions with the West India
nd colonies, and the Gulf of Mexico and Brazils.
That the entrance to the Port of Liverpool, for vessels of
all sizes, is Commodious and safe through the new Channel,
called the Victoria Channel—the depth of water on the bar
at low water ordinary spring tides being 11 feet, and at low
water of neap tides 17 feet At the first quarter, 1i hours'
flood, there is 18 feet at ordinary springs, and 24 feet at neaps ;
and so on progressively increasing until high water. And
for thirty-four days only out of 365 will there be so little as
11 feet water at low water, and that only for one half hour.
The said channel is also now well lighted and buoyed, and in
addition to the Lightship, Buoys, and Lighthouse, lately
placed in connexion with this new channel, another Lightship
will be placed therein as soon as possible, which has met with
the unqualified approbation of the Trinity Board,and of Cap-
tain Beaufort, Hydrographer to the Board of Admiralty,
thereby affording at all times of the tide, both night and day,
a convenient access to the port. This is fully borne out by
the fact, that her Majesty's Post-office Packets (two of which
leave' Liverpool for Dublin every day at fixed hours, and two
Dublin for Liverpool,) regularly use this channel, and have
met with no detention from a want of water.
That:Liverpooi has at all times had extensive conveniences
for Steamers of large sizes, and these conveniences are now
considerably increased; a new Dock having been lately com-
pleted sufficient to take Steamers of tha largest class, having
Gates 70 feet wide, and one of the Graving Docks being 'now io progress of alteration to admit Steamers of the same size ;
besides which, Foundries and Manufactories for Marine Steam-
engines and all the other necessary equipments for Steam-
boats, of high character and reputation have long been esta-
blished at Liverpool, and the Engines there made will bear
comparison with those of the first makers in the world. The
Marine Engines of several of her Majesty's Post-office Packets
have been made there, and others are now in progress of ma-
nufacture for other vessels belonging to her Majesty.
That Liverpool also affords great convenience for procuring
fuel, the coals to be had there being of good quality, in great
abundance, and on moderate terms, which are used by Steam-
ers frequenting the port, and are sent for the use of Steamers
to all parts of the world. It also affords all other necessa-
ries for the vessels' outfit at as moderate rates, as good in
9uality, and in as great abundance as any other port in the
kiLigdom.
Your memorialiats therefore pray that your lordships will
take the same into your lordships' consideration, and give
directions that Liverpool May be appointed the port from
Which the Steam Vessels to be employed in any communica-
lion between the West India Islands and Colonies and this
country &all depart, and at which they shall arrive.
And your Memorialists will ever pray, &c.
-Liverpool, February, 1840.
