Thi? company has been formed lor the purpose of providing more t ffiuient. steam communication between the difleient ports nf New Zealand— the want of which h^e been much felt for some tim ■• past, and which is becoming more perceptible as the growing trade of the colony is developed. It is desired to establish a weekly lino of Pteamers, between Otago and the principal Northern ports, to put on a steamer between Dunedin and the' We«*t Coast Portß of the Middle Island, and also to provide for tho efficie >t conduct of the trade two and from the several Plnaller Ports on the Coasts of Otngo and Canterbury For these purposes the following new vessels will be required : — > Three first-class Steamers forthe trade between Dunedin and Manakau, to lie built in Europe, and capable of earning from 401 to SJ() tons of- cargo, fitted with compound engines and the latest improvements; and witli superior passenger accommodation, suited, (#., the requirements of the present day.

With a view to commencing operations without delay, It hag been arranged to take over, on the Ist of January next, the steamers M ori, Beautiful i'tar, and Samson, belonging to the Harbour Steam Company's fir et, and also their new steamer, just built on the Clyde, specially for the Timaru and Lyttelton trade, and which is expected to arrive in the colony early in February.
