The Share List will close on the 30th September, 1876. r Tris fompny i 3 projected by gentlemen largely interested in the New trade, under the conviction that the exist'ng communication is inadequate for the work. The promote s are convinced that the growadditional steam communication. They confidently believe, and are assured 1 y many of the princip .1 mercantile firms in Mlbourne and New Zealand, that an important; expansion of the traffic will certainly follow the commencement; of the Company's operations. * The promoters are already in possession of parttculats and prices obtained from some of the first s! ipbuildew in Great Britain, of steamers best suited for the trade with New Zealand, New Caledonia, the Fiji Is'ands, etc. Such steamers may be briefly described ps vessels of large capacity on such a draft of water as will enable them to take their cargoes to and from the-wn»rvej, with accommodation for about 200 first and second class pas3engo s, and steaming ful y 12 knots an hour, with the latest improvv d compound engines for economising fuel and space. The promoters have great confidence in pl.cing the .present enterprise before the public, based on the marked success of the large and increasing mimber of steamers trading on our coasts, there being now registered as bel mging to 'ln Fort of Melbourne stsam vessels f a 1 descriptions, which have grown out of tha earnings of twelve steamers i>f all sorts belonging to the port in 1853, and the increa c of vessels employed in the New Zealand trad j is perhaps more marked than an? other. It is decsirel further to direct attention'o t e following f-ets, tending to the rdvantaje of the project, viz :—The stimulus to trade by the established telegraphic communication between the two countries. Th« great- r fa iilie< for development of the huye grainproducing interest, n anifest in the growing trade of Ojma u and '1 iniaru, as well as the more s nthf.ru parts of the Middle Island, for which produce Victoria can find a permanent market. The prospect of an eaily r._vi-rfon of the Vioto ian Tariff in the interests of tr de and comnae:ce. The "curative [ roperties oi the Hot Strings of New Zealand as tending to promote an increase of visitors in quest of health. An I the large number of iteamers i nd pa senger ships from Furo e, India, Chin •., and J m:s ic;i having their termini it Austra lian poits carrying an increasing number of pa senger < f->r or from New Zealand. All which growing interf s's will tend to the tdv nt-ige of the new Company.

Following the plan of hte rdoptel in England by recently -form d Shipping Compares, it is pr posed th,t tho busines* shalbe managed in Melbourne as an agency, under the ontnl of tlii Directory, thus avoiding the out lay for a lar e and cost y establi hxent Gentlemen have lately visited New Zealand in tho interests of the proposed Compxny. They met with a most cordial reception, received numer us subscriptions and promises of supp rt ) mo g many t-ections of the community. In fsicS New Ze.datid and Melbourne interests are ihu-j so extensively enlisted in the Company, .v shareholders and otherwise, that the ew I ine f Steamers cannot fail to obtain that am- le support which wi 1 render the enterprise a &uc ;ess. In conclusion, the promoters would invite intending investors to make prompt applications for sha es, t :• enable th< m to contract for the of the nevr ships while the co t of construction ru'es low, as at the preseLt time There are no speniul advantages offend to any shareholders, and therefore no promoters' i 10-ests to be paid.
