BRADSHAW, Temple Chambers, -Dunedin, To whom applications for- shares are requested to be made, or to the Agent* of the Company, MESSRS GUTHRIE & LARMAOII. Danilin, Mew Zealand. The Share List will close on the 30th September, 1876. Tins Company is projected by gentlemen largely in the Mew Zea’aud trade, under rhe conviction that the exist ng communication is i adequate for the work. The promote s are convi ced that the growing requirements of the trade call urgently for additional steam communication. They confidently be ieve, and are assured by many of he pdncinl mercantile fi-ms in M 1bourne and ‘-ew Zealand, that an importan expansion of che traffic will certai ly follow the c nnmencemeno of the Company’s operations. The promoters are already in possession of partioulais and prices obtained from some of the first s -jphni'der* in Great Britain, of steamers best suited for the trade with New Zealand, iv ew Caledonia the Fiji Is amis, etc. Such sto-mers may bo briefly des-rihcd ss vessels of large capacity on such a draft of wa ! er ns will enable them to take their cargoes to and from the wh rve-, with accommodation for about 200 first and second class paesengc a, and steaming fal y 12 km ts an hour -with the latest improv d com pund engines for econo mising fuel and space. Tim promoters have great confidence in pi cing the pre ent enterprise before the public, based on - the marked uccosa of the Urge and i ere sins; number oP.steame'B fading on our coasts,.there being now registered a-< belonging to lb-* * ort of Melbourne ixty -ne , afcfHm vessels fal descriptions, which grown out of fh- earnings of twelve .-teamens £ad sort-- belonging to the port in 1853, and the increa e of vessels employ d in the New Zeala d trade is perhaps more marked than an other.

it is derived further to direct attention o te folio ring f cts tendiu, to the d vanta of the project, viz : 'l he stimulus to trade by the • sUhlished teleg-aphic communication between thctw-- countries. 'I h- great r fa i ilie , for development of the lan e grainproducing interest, anifest in the growingtrade of Onma u and I imam as well as the more s nthern parts of the Middle island, for w ueh produce Victor ?. can find a permanent market.

And the large nnrnbor of steamers «nd pa-senger ships from uro e, India, Chin .and me-ica having their termini i-. lustra* Han ports carrying an increasing number of passengers for or from New Zealand. All which growing interests will tend to the advantage of the new Company. Following the plan of bte r dopte J in England by recSntlv-form d lihippinr Compa iies it is proposed that the busines - sha 1 be managed in Melbourne as'an agekov, under the control of the Directory, thus avoiding the outlay, for a lar e and cost y establi-h nent .. Gentlemen have lately visited New Zealand in the interests of the pr posed ( oraprny.
