THE ORIGINAL LIVEuR POOLparabit. AND NEW YORK
STEAM]-PACKET COMPANY.
Capital £94io CM in MOW Shares of £2O. each.

THE object of this Company is to establish a Steam Com-
munication between the Ports of Liverpool and New

Its projectors have long entertained the most sanguine opi-
nions 4e to the success liKely to attendsuch an enterprize, when
liberally backed by public patronage: and, this, the present
prospectus, it is confidently hoped, will be the means of induc-

rwenty years ago the idea .was derided of successfully effect-
ing an intercourse by Steam between this-country and Ireland.
Nevertheless, we are now in a position of exposing the fallacy
of •so contraered a view, as science, aided by wealth, persever-
ance, and enterprise have prevailed, and the existing establish-
ments are in the most prosperous condition.
• The assertion, then, may fairly he hazarded, that Steam
Navigation, iu the really efficient form it has assumed in the
present day, is capable in an eminent degree of developing the
vast resources of those fertile, densely populated. and commer-
cially important dis•ricts of North America,) to which the oper-
ations of this Company will be directed,) by affording that su-
perior facility of intercourse between them and Great Britain,
NJ which Steam in other parts of the world has become so
justly celebrated, and which, alike to the Merchant and the
Emigrant, must be a matter r,:f the moat paramount interest.
The projectors are justifiable in stating, (inasmuch as it is
the expressed opinion of scientific and experienced men,) that,
with suitably constructed and powerful vessels, the run out to
New York may, in ordinary weather, be accomplished in about
fourteen days. Soquick a rub by other means, it is believed
stiourd be without a parallel.
An ample supply of Fuel may be always calculated upon, as
the great improvement lately introduced in the engineer and
boiler department (the invention of the scientific Mr, Hall) has
caused a most, extraordinary decrease in the consumption of
that very important article.
In order to disseminate as widely as.possible the advantages
likely to accrue from truth an association as this, well, respect-
ably, and spiritedly conducted,—a prominent feature in its for-
mation has been, that of dividing tae shares into a moderate
amount of Twenty Pounds each; thus, oot precluding the
tradesman or small capitalist from investir g in an establishment
which cannot but. angment the commercial importance of this
enterprisicoMmunity.
The Company will he considered as constituted, as soon as
bona fide applications to the extent of 50(.X) shares shall have
been made.

Fire Shillings per Share will be required upon enrollment;
and, in one week after Directors have been chosen, it will be
necessary for Proprietors to pay £2. per Share into the Albino
Bank, to the credit of the Company. The remainder of the
calls to be made as the direction may deetn expedient, in sums
not exceeding LI per Share, and at periods o!" riot less than six
weeks between each cal!.

The management of the Company shall he intrusted to Six
Directors. to be chosen by the Proprietors. Three of the Di-
rectors to retire .innually. but to be eligible for re-election.
The hoidiug of Fifty Shares to constitute the eligibility of a
Director. and Auditors shall not be deemed compe:ent to act as
Directors.

The usual means td secure Proprietors by the restriction of
liability will be adopted.

A Provisional Committee will be formed immediately", to
whom ail applications for Shares must be a•ldressed, care of

/VII E practicability.of navigating the Atlantic by powerful
..1 . SteaT.Vesselk. ANL effecting a passage from the port, of
:`.;ew York to the shores of Great Britain, with tolerable cer-
tainty, in 10 or. 12 days, having been fully established, it can
scarcely fail immediately .to increase the intercourse between the
two countries to an unprecedented extent.
The trials that have been made by the spirited owners of .the
Great Western and .Sirius steam ships, deserve the praise and
encouragement of the British and American public; but when
it is considered that of these vessels one is confined to the port -
of Bristol,. and that the other occupies a portion only of the at-
tention of a company, it will be admitted that they must prove
quite inadequate to the conveyance of the thousands of pas-
sengers who yearly cross the Atlantic, and who have hitherto
taken their passage in.sailing vessels. These sailing vessels, as
tar as passengers are concerned,' must now give way to their
powerful rivals, the steamers.
It is therefore proposed to establisha company that shall con-
fine its. capital and eeergies to the conveyance i,f passengers
and goods, with the greatest possible punctuality and despatch, 1
between, London, Liverpool, and New Y ork.
Plan of operation.—To build four or six vessels, of from WOO
to MO tons, upon tee most approved principle, of the greatest
proportionate.stvain power, end fitted in a style combining ele-
gance and comfort.
That one of these vessels shall be despatched from London
and Liverpool alternately, twice in.each month; from London
oa the first, and from Liverpool its the middle, of the month,
and on tne same dates from New York. Or twice a month from
Liverpool, and once from London, as may be found expedient.
First outlay.—Six steam ships, including all the expenses of
the Company up to tii time of the dispatch of the first vessel,
at £5O, WO. £300,C00.
To raise which sum, no more than £3O. per share on the ca-
pital will be required.
The present and increasing rates of freight and passage, the
Committee confidently believe will return to the shareholders a
dividend of at least 20 per cent.
The Committee having secured the purchase or refusal of the
splendid steam ship, the Liverpool, with engines of 500-horse
power, built by Sir J. Tobin, in the Mersey, to compete with the
Great Western, and now nearly ready for sea, this Company will
be enabled to commence operations at once, and to despatch. their
first vessel _berme the British Queen, or any other nem vessel
of the class, can be got ready for sea. £3. per share, in addi.
lion to the deposit, will , more than cover the purchase of the
Liverpribl.
Applications for shares, post paid, to be made to the Com-
pany's Office, 55, Lombard-street; or to Messrs. Kearsey,
Hughes, and Thomas, Solicitors, 144, Leacienhall street. Lon-
eon ; or to Messrs. LoWndes and Robinson, Solicitors, Liver-

TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIP COMPANY,
CA PI TA L £300,000, in SHARES of LlOO EACH.

V HE arrangements which have, for some time, been in pro-
gress, through the agency of the Directors of the City of
Dublin Steam packet Company, for establishing an intercourse,
by Steam Navigation, between the British Islands and the
United States of America. being now completed, the Directors
of the TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIP COMPANY
announce to the public, that suitable Vessels, on the approved
safety principle, are now in progress of Construction, with the
view ef opening a direct Communication between the Ports of
LIVERPOOL and NEW YORK. The Contracts entered
into by the former Company, intended to have been established
in 1837, under the authority of Parliament, being available for
purposes of this Company.
The first two Vessels of the Company, of 450 horses power,
and 1200 tons but-then each, by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston; and
Co., and Messrs. W. and J. Wilson, will, it is expected, be
available in the course of next year, and the well known cha-
racter of those houses cannot fail of giving confidence to the
public and ensure the utmost perfection, in build and machinery,
of which Steam Navigation is at present susceptible.
This Company having the advantage of Co-operation with
the City of. Dublin Steam-packet Company and of their experi;-
ence in the management and business of Steam Navigation, the
public may feet assured. that the Directors of that Company,
who have associated thentselvee with the present undertaking,
would not hevodnne so except_ under a full conviction of its
practicability and sUccess.
The improved state of Steam Navigation, and the great ex-
tensior. qt the intercourse in passengers between Great Britain
and America, cirupled with the strong desire expressed in the
manufacturing diqtrkts in' favour of the Steam intercourse with
the United States and the British Colonies through the Port of
Liverpool, give ample assurance of a satisfactory return on the
Capital to he employed.
All the Vessels of this Company are intended to be con-
structed on the safety principle so successfully adopted by the
City of Dahlin Steam-packet Company, of being divided into
separate compartments by air and water-tight plate-iron bulk
heads, a principle a Lich guarantees thegreatest security against
accidents at Sea, The entire timber work of these Vessels, also,
will be prepared on Ryan's anti-dry rot process : thus securing
the greatest atraneeli and durability of which Stearn-ships are
sua-entible.
the purpose of giving immediate effect to the operations
a the Company and to the intercourse between Liverteuot. and
New Yotte. and until the Company's new Vescels shall be
ready for service, arrangements have been made with the City
of Dubliu Steam-packet Company, by which two Stearn Vessels
will he at once placed on the line. The first of these Vessel,
the 'lova t. WILLI mm, is intended to be cleepatcheU hour Li-
VERPOOL for NEW YORK early in July next.
