AT the same time, subscription was o.
nened iorestablishiuga Savannah Steam
Shin Company" Two hundred and fifty
shares were taken up in the course OF an
hour. The balance, we understand, will
he subscribed for in Charleston and else
where. The following are the outlines OF
this institutions:
Capital 1850 600, divided into 500 shares,
OF 100 dollars each ten pr cent. 10 be
paid down at the time of subscription,
and the remainder al the period designed
by the committees appointed for the pre-
urinary arrangements for organizing the
company.
No subscriber will be allowed i'm his
own right, or thai OF any other person, 10
fake more ilan ten shares while the bank
is open during the day.
The plan proposed for carrying into eff
feet the objects of the company, is the
purchase OF a suitable ship, Of the first
class, completely Fitted aud equipped in
The ordinary manner-On board ofwlich
slai be placed Il steam engine, with the
other necessary apparatus, Upon the plan
suggested by captain Rogers, who will
take All interest in the concern, sec that IL
is carried into effect in the best possible
manner, and will afterwards take The
charge of navigating the ship across the
Atlantic.
If it were asked what are the advantag-
es of the success OF such q scheme they
are greater than may al first sight appear;
and in the even, OF failure, which is moi
deemed probable, the loss sustained by
the experiment would be noihing more
than the expense Of attaching the engine
OF machinery TO the ship, as, in thai event,
the ship would he left nothing the worse
land The engine and machinery would
be such. as IN answer for any other pur
pose for which steam engines are gener-
ally applied. Ii is perhaps no disparage-
ment 10 the claims of others 10 say that
captain Rogers combines in himself more
qualifications and requisites for the sue
cessful issue of such AN experiment, than
almost any person 10 be met with.
Subscription books were also opened
for establishing "a Bank in this city, to be
called " The Binding and Insurance
Bank of Georgia" and in very short
time 1000 shares were subscribed for
The books of this institution are 10 be
kepi open for thirty Gays-which are 10

ty OF participating in the measure.
