-ITIHE Provisional Committee are aware that the .ing of
JIL their Prospectus at the present period may a .rst view
lead to the supposition, that they are only contribut g one more
to the innumerable schemes now before the publi . It will, how-
-ever, be seen, from the outline of the mode in •hich it is pro-
posed to establish this Company and to co act its concerns,
that it is not an undertaking calculated to omote the views of
the mere speculator in Shares, but that n the contrary it is
intended as an investment for a portion of the capital of those
who can afford and are willing to unite in a legitimate mercan-
tile undertaking, in which the return, though ultiimatelv profita-
ble, cannot be secured within any very short period of time.
It is proposed to establish a Company in Liverpool, to be
called "Tii E LIVERPOOL SoUTH PACIFIC FISHERY COMPANY."
The Capital of the Company to be employed in the purchase
and outfit of Vessels to the Southern Whale Fisheries, and in
procuring Sperm Oil, Head Matter, (from which Sperm Can-
dles are principally made,) Black Whale Oil, Whalebone, and
other products of the above Fisheries. The Company also pro-
pose to have an Establishment in Liverpool for refining the Oil.
The Company to be under the management of five Directors,
-three to be a quorum, to be chosen by the Shareholders, and to
,be carried on under the regulations to be particularly detailed
in' the Deed of Constitution. The Directors to be chosen at a
General Meeting of the Shareholders within fourteen days after
the 12th of May next, that being the day on which Shares will

lireasing the Capital of the Company at a future time, if such
increase shall be considered advisable by the holders of two-
',lards of the Shares.

The Shares to be appropriated by the Provisional Committee
on Thursday, the 12th May next.

The great and increasing consumption of Sperm Oil, not
only in Great Britain, but throughout the civilized world, and
the uncertain supplies of Common Oil from the very frequent
failures of the Whale Fishing in the Northern Seas, seem to
'point to the importance of the Fisheries in the South Seas,
where, in consequence of the number of Sperm and Black
Whales, Sperm Oil, Common Oil, Head Matter, and Whale-
bone, under the direction of experienced Fishers, are easily
-obtained.

The Projectors of this Company, being in possession of the
fullest information upo❑ all matters connected with the trade
of the Southern Seas, and particularly its Fisheries, derived
from persons of experience who have been already engaged in
'the business, feel assured that an extensive and certain trade
its the articles above enumerated might be carried on with great
profit to a Company established in this town with adequate
ens. . .

. .
London- has hitherto been the only importing: place in the
kingdom for the product of the Southern Fisheries, whilst it is'
well known that immense quantities of Sperm Oil are consumed
in. the manufacturing counties of England and in Scotland;
and it may be stated that this Oil, owing to its superior fineness,
is .now comi'lg into extensive use for the Engines_ and Ma-
chinery of Mills and Manufactories. It is a fact, also, that great
difficulty' waste, and actual loss attend t
t. he frequent tranship-
men of Sperm Oil, and the advantage, therefore; of an esta-
blishment for its importation more contiguous to the places Of
its consumption is •very evident. London has also enjoyed
nearly the exclusive manufacture Of Sperm Candles, not orilv
for the markets of Great Britain, but also for various parts of
the Continent.

Liverpool, which to the present period has not only not par-
ticipated in the importation of Sperm Oil, but 'has also, owing
to the-above circumstances, 'Teen precluded from the Manufac-
ture of Sperm Candles, presents every facility for the Establish-
ment contemplated by this Company. •
It may be observed' that the Americans are so fully alive to
the advantages of this lucrative Trade, that they have lately
doubled-the-amount of their South Sea Business,

mittee, and containing the names, residence, and business of
