ITIH E Public are informed that the objects this Company
IL are, to provide a more expedition , leap, and certain
Steam Communication between Water and the English
ports. The advantages held out by this Company for the pro-
fitable investment must be apparent from the official returns of
the immense exports of the port, which amounted,- in the year
ending 31st March, 1835, to 164,998 tons, and shows an increase
during the last ten years of 78,849 tons.
In accordance with the original Prospectus of this Company,
the Trustees have great pleasure in informing the Public that
they have succeeded in arranging with Sir Johu Tobin for the
purchase of his four Steam-ships, he (Sir Juhn Tobin) retain-
ing an interest in them; and that these four first-.:lass Steam-
ships, the Margaret, William Penn, St. Patrick, and Gipsy,
are now plying between Waterford, London, and Liverpool,
with a combined capacity of 1119 tons, and steam power of 74
horses, by which the invested capital is immediately placed to
profitable account, which, by documents before the Committee,
has not heretofore been less than thirty per cent.
And when it is seen that WaterfUrd, situated on a splendid
harbour, on the confluence of three rivers,—the Suir, the Nore,
and the Barrow,—with water carriage into the heart of the fer-
tile and populous counties of Tipperary, Kilkenny, and Carlow;
and that it is the natural and cheapest port of export andlin-
port for a large portion of the counties of Cork, Limerick, and
the King's and Queen's Counties; and that so large a sum has
been paid annually in freight; taking all these into considera-
tion, it appears to be a fair conclusion, that a trade which has
been so increasingly profitable and extensive will still continue
to increase; and it is from taking this view that the present
Company has been formed.
