Since the publication of the foregoing Prospectus, the
Directors have the satisfaction of stating, that a large and
influential body of Merchants have become attached to this
Concern, whose support has given increased confidence in
the success of the undertaking.
. The Directors have also to state, that, in consequence of
this result, and of the great intercourse which has already
taken place with America by means of Steam Navigation
from England, they have deemed it important to lose no time
in preparing for the building of two additional Steep Ships,
Besides those already in progress as above, in the New York
Line; thus further to supply the wants and unite the great
interests of Liverpool and the Manufacturing Distric►s with
the Company, by providing the most complete and efficient
establishment of suitable Vessels from this Port.
The Directors have also to announce, that, with the view
of giving immediate effect to their operations, they have
made a further Charter of the City of Dublin Steam Com-
pany's fine Ship, the ROYAL WILLtAm ; and have also pur-
chased from Sir John 'Tobin his splendid new Steam-Ship,
the Livi?.neoot., 464 horse power, and 1050 tons burthen,
now near!), completed, and they will be prepared, in the
month of October next, to commence plying that Vessel be-
tween Liverpool and New York.
The accommodations for Passengers in the Liverpool will
be of the most complete description ; and in every other
respect that vessel is well calculated for the service, having
been originally built and intended for carrying on a Trans-
atlantic intercourse.
Ct:. It is intended to elect three additional Directors for
Liverpool in the ensuing month.
