PANY.,
T the MEETING of the SHAREHOLDERS held at the
Clarendou-rooms. on SATURDAY, the 14th instant, pur-
suant to public advertisement, after the folloi Report of te Provisional Committee was, read, the subjowiueng d Resolutiohns were entered into for establishing the Company.
REPORT.
The Provisional Committee deem it proper state to the
Subscribers that in consequence of the unprec ented number
of applications for Shares, they were desirous t meet the wishes
101 the Public, and :hey were induced to e nd the objects of
the Company, under the expectation that th adjoinini, property
or about three acres, with a frontage to the river of 83 yards,
might be obtained on advantageous terms, but in consequence of
=that property being under lease for seven years, they have on
4nore 'nature deliberation decidel to confine the present objects
'of this Company to the original Prospectus, and they do so the
more reality as the owner of the adjoining property is ready to
come under an engagement to sell it to the Company on the
terms stated in the second Prospectus, when the present lease
expires, or at an earlier period. if this Company can make an
arrangement with the lesSee. It Must be evident to the Sub-
scribers that it is very desirable to possess that property, and
'they can, if they think proper, authorise the Directors to. con-
elude the purchase with the present owner at any time before
the expiration of the lease that the Company may approve of.
The original Prospectus being, then, the one now adopted,
your Committee beg to call your attention to it. [The same
was then read.]
They also lav on the table a Plan of the Ground, drawn out
and certified by Messrs. Shotwell and Smith, Surveyors, and
they beg to call the attention of the Subscribers to the detailed
estimate made out by those gentlemen. From this it will be
seen that a fund of £BOOO is reserved for carrying on the objects
.of the Company; and this your Committee think sufficiently
ample, as they are of oyinion that it will he more advantageous
to contract for hire of Steam Boats than purchasing them, but
iu (~ase it be hereafter deemed advisable to purchase Steamers,
your Committee would suggest the introduction of a clause into
the Deed of Settlement giving the necessary power to the Di-
rectors to raise money for that or any other needful purposes
considered beneficial to the concern, either by mortgage or
creating new shares; either of those plans to be previously ap-
proved at a public meeting of the Proprietors to be convened for
that purpose. And as the Owner and Mortgagees of the Pro-
perty have consented to let the greater portion of their money
remain at interest fur a twelvemonth, not more than £lO per
share of the Subscribed Capital will probably be required to be
paid up within that period.

RESOLUTIONS:
~.:That the Company be now foiled under the title of " The
tPyal Liscard Union Steam-packet Company."
That Mr. M. L. Pritchard, Mr. Frederick Rowlinson, and
Mr. Wm. Kilshaw be the Trustees in whom the Property is to
be vested.
That five of the Subscribers, holding at least Ten Shares each
in their own names, be Directors, and that three be a quorum,
for the purpose of conducting and managing the affairs of the
C 0 vv. a n
P to be chosen on the last Frida in May e
Bankers of
this Company.
That Messrs. Rowlinson, Howard, and Wyche, be the Soli-
citors to the Company, and that they prepare the necessary
beed for the Signature of the Subscribers.
That when the said Deed is so Signed, the Directors be em-
Powered to carry into effect the objects of this Company.
, That the following Shareholders be the Directors to conduct
the affairs of this Company to the 14th May, 1837:
Mr. Peter Cornthwaite,
Mr. John Davies,
Mr. Joseph Hardwick,
Mr. John Kilshaw,
Mr. John Portas.
That a Copy of the Report, and the above Resolutions, be
Published in two of the Liverpool newspapers, and that such of
The Subscribers as have not yet paid their Deposits be required
to pay the same into the Commercial Bank, on or before SA-
TURDAY next, the 21st instant; and that all Shares not then
taken up be disposed of by the Directors in whatever manner
they may think most for the benefit of this Company.

SECR ETAR Y.—Mr. WILLIAM BucKNELL.
HE great, extensive, and continued demand that will
ril shortly be made, not only in England, but upon the Con-
ti.nent of Europe, in America, and in Innis, for Locomotive
• Engines, Steam Engines, and Carriages, in consequence of the
fide extending lines of Railway throughout the whole civilized
wt
world, render it desirable that a Com m
pany should be foredavith a
Capital adequate to produce a supply in some degree Commensu-
rae with this rapidly-increasing want, and by concentrating the
united talents of the most gifted of our Engineers and Mechanics,
and aided by those discoveries which philosophy is daily
Making to forward and improve the arts, render available to
The public in the most peifect form that Machinery which is,
NiParently, destined at no remote period of time, to •change
the face of the whole countries, ant produce a powerful effect
neon the relative position, iind social, and political condition of
the great families of man.
To render the desirableness and even necessity, for the forma.;
lion of a Joint Stock Company with a sufficient capital for such
i't purpose apparent, we need just mention the facts, that the
late Mr..„Boulton expended about £17,000 in experiments on
the Steam Engine before Wutt perfected its construction, and
occasioned any return of profit. Messrs. Need and Strutt, of
berby, also expended a large fortune upon the inventions of
the late Sir Richard Arkwright, before the mechanical con
trivatices of that extraordinary man realized any [motif. And
the frequent remunerations made by Parliament to' individuals
• who have spent large sums in completing their inventions, not
"lily show the necessity of a large capital, but also that which
is of more importance to the public, namely, how slow must be
the developement of those mighty powers and energies which
, )et lie hidden in the mysteries of nature and science, when so
great a drain of pecuniary means of private individuals is
quired to carry their inventions into practical effect.
It is the intention of this Company, by securing the co.opera-
Iht"ni of men the most eminent in science, in philosophy, and
"ee
mechanical arts,. to early to the greatest degree of perfec-
n those machines which their united talents may be employ-
upon, in such manner as under no other circumstances could
lie brought together, or attained full satisfied, that tor)! of mankind has not before furnished an opportunitywhere
d'net* an union was so imperiously demanded, or could have been
0 successfully and usefully put into operation. And while we
,;!'plore in common with all prudent men, the great number of
!4iunary schemes now soliciting the notice of the public, we in-
vite the attention of the community to our present undertaking,
'Ppsessing within itself nothing of a speculative character; we

t is not; however, to engines upon the locomotive principle
Ape,. that the Company would confine their rnanufactuie.

ultesPt:-'ling the profits derivable to the Shareholders, we ob-
trLYe, that the machines of the description intended to be ma-
nufactured are of such a nature as to command the best remu-
tZating Prices. An 'useful improvement, or invention in ma-
