ever, be seen, from the oetline of the mode in which it is pro-
posed to establish this Company and to conduct its concerns,
that it is not an undertabiog calculated to promote the %iews of

The great and increasing consumption of Sperm Oil, not
only in Great Britain, but thioughout the civilized world. and
the uncertain 3upp!ies of Common Oil from the very frequent
failures of Wbale Fishing in the No.thern Seas, seem to
point to the importance of the Fisheries in the South Seas,
wheve, in consequence of the nurnl,er of Sperm and Black
Whales, Speim 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 Ihe
fullest informa►ion upon all matters connected with the trade
of the Southern Seas, and particularly its Fisheries, derived
flotn persons of experience who have been already engaged in
the business, feel assti,ed that an extensive and certa►n trade
in the articles above enumerated might be carried on with great
profit to a Company established in this town with adequate
means.

London has hitherto been the only importing place in the
kingdom • for the product of the Southern Fisheries, whilst it is
well known that immensequantities of Sperm Oil are consumed
in the manufacturing counties of England and in Scotland;
sad it may be stated that this Oil, owing to its superior fineness,
is now coining into ettensive use for the Engines and Ma-
chinery of Mills and Manufactories. It is a fact, also, that great
difficulty, waste, anti actual loss attend the frequent tranship.
ment of Sperm Oil, and the advantage, therefore, of an esta-
blishment for its importation more contiguous to the 'places of
ins consumption is veep evident. London has also enjoyed
nearly the exclusive manufacture of Sperm Candles, not only
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, been precluded from the manufac-
ture of Sperm Candles, presents every facility for the Establish-
ment contemplated by this Company.
It may be obsessed that the Americans are so fully alive to
the advantages of this lucrative Trade, that they have lately
dmbled the amount of their South Sea Business.
