Her Majesty in Council having granted a Royal Charter of
Incorporation, the Directors feel at a duty promptly to,bring
into effective. operation the means which they believe best
calculated to insure the most dire and expeditious commentnication with Australia, and thereby to satisfy a requirement
of "reat and growing urgency.
The Route proposed, namely, the direct line connecting
England with Australia, and crossing the Isthmus of Panama.
may be considered ss divided nito three stages—the Atlantic
paisage,—the transit across the Ithmus,—and the Pacific
coalino-at O
passage—to Sydney and Melbourne alternate]
heite, or other convenient Station. On the first—it is Jim
sary to dwell ;of the second—all difficulties are in processed'
speedy removal by the line of Railway now approaching its
completion. [The time of transit across the Isthmus by'Raill-
will probably not exceed two hours,] with attendant acc •
modation suitablehotels, at both extremes ; and thethirdl
—favoured as it is with the smoothest seas, with moderator
winds, a pleasant temperature, and the absence of adverse
currents, may indisputably be described as presentingther
most unobjectionable navigation in the 'World.
The Directors, therefore, availing themselves of thelong-
practical experience of Captains A. S. HAMOND, R.X. an&
J. COCH R NE _HOSEA SON, y..:N -, who for several years have
hld Command of Steam ships on the Pacific, New Zealand,
and Australian Stations, and, of whose published opinions,
the soundness has been fully confirmed by recent resultsi.
