TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.
Capital £500,000. in Shares of £loo.,each.

fTIHE arrangements which have for some time been in
progress, through the agency of the Directors of the
City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, for establishing
an intercourse by Steam Navigation, between the Ports
of LIVERPOOL and NEW YORK, being complete,
the Directors of the TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-
SHIP COMPANY announce, that the first two Vessels of
1200 tons, and 450 horse power each, on the approved
safety principle, are in progress, 4nd will be ready in the
course of next year.
This Company having the advantage of Co-operation with
the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, the Directors of
that Company, who have undertaken the direction and ma-
nagement of the Transatlantic Steam Company, have done
so under the full conviction of its practicability and success:
the Deed and Constitution of the Company have been framed
in conformity with that of the Dublin Steam Company—the
Executive being vested in Managing Directors, under the
controul of a General Board.

All the vessels of this Company are to be constructed on
the Safety Principle so successfully adopted by the City of
Dublin Steam-packet Company, of being divided in separate
compartments by air and water tight Plate-iron Bulkheads
—a principle which guarantees the greatest security against
accidents at sea.

For the purpose of giving immediate effect to the opera-
tions of the Company, arrangements have been made with
the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, by which two
Steam-Vessels will be at once placed on the line.
Instalments to be called for at intervals of not less than
three months, and not exceeding Ell/ per share.
Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be
paid on all Instalments, from the date of each payment re-
spectively, previously to dividend being declared.
Applications for the unappropriated Shares may be made to
the Company's Bankers or Solicitors, or at the Offices of the
Dublin Steam Packet Company, in Liverpool, Dublin, Bel-
fast, Limerick, or London.
The Directors are authorised to apply for a Charter under
the provisions of the Act of Ist Victoria, and measures have
already been taken for that purpose.
On allotment of Shares, a deposit of Five Pounds per
Share to be paid to the credit of the Trustees, with any of
the Company's Bankers, who will give the necessary receipt
for the same,

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 Steam Ships,
besides those already in pr.gress as above, in the New York
Line; thus further to supply the wants and unite the great
interests of Liverpool and the Manufacturing Districts with
the Company, by providing the most complete and efficient
establishment of suitable 1. ; ....is 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 WILLIAM ; and have also pur-
chased from Sir John 'Fobin his splendid new Steam-Ship,
the LlN,Ettroot, 464 horse power, and 1050 tons burthen,
now nearly 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.

t 3 It is intended to elect three additional Directors for
Liverpool in the ensuing month.
