James Mills, Esq. ■* * Thi-? company has been formed lor the purpose of providing more efficient steam communication between the different ports of New Zealand — the want of which litis been much felt ior some tima past, and which is becoming more perceptible as the growing trade of the colony is developed. It is desired to establish a weelcly line ;of Steamers between Otago . and the principal Northern ports, to put on a steamer between Dnnedin- and the We^t Coast Pprts of the Middle Island, and also to provide for the efficient conduct of the trade two and from the several smaller Ports on the Coasts of Otago and Canterbury. For these purposes the following new vessels wili be required :— Three first-class Steamers for the trade be- , tween Dunedin and Manakau, to be builfih'Europe, and capable of carrying from 400 to 50'.» tons of cargo, ■ fitted with compound engines and the latest improvements, and with, superior paasenger accommoiiflUob, suited to the requirements ot the present day|. These' steamers will be 0 such class and speed £ as will ensure every facility to; shippers of goods, and convenience to the travelling public One boat of smaller capacity and light draft of water, especially adapted to the trade to the West Coast of the Middle Island, y With a view to commencing operations without delay, it has been arranged to' take over, on the Ist of January next, the steamers M ori, Beautiful Star, and Samson, belonging to the . Harbour Steam Company's fleet, and aho 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. | These vessels will at once create a revenue for the Company, and, it ie believed, wiU be sullicient :to carry on the trade. of the porta on the Coasts of Otago and Canterbury. *Mr James Mills, who has eo successfully cou- . ducted the business of the Harbor Company from 1 its commencement, will continue to act as Manager of this Company. It is estimated that, to carry out these proposals: a capital of £150,000 will be required, and to provide ; for this it is proposed to call up £i per share, making a total of £100,000, ani to borrow the remaining £50,0011 on debentures bearing a low rate oi interest This arrangement wili enable larger dividends to be declared on the paid-up capita). •_'.;... Out of the total number of shares, the proprietors of the Harbor Company will take 7,500 paid up to the extent of. £i each and thy remaining 17,500 are now offered to investors J 1 ; In recommending; this investment to the public, the Provisional Directors may state that large profits aie now being -made by steamers on the Coast bf, New Zealand i : aqd ; theyar9 therefore . confident that, by the employment of vessels ol the character indicated,' fitted to work with the utmost economy, and meet .the; growing traffic without undue strain, ths Company, ; wilj. be able to secure : ample profits; and at'the Same time promote trade and, the, convenience of the travelling public,. by providing improved facilities and accommodation at reduced rates. < Applications for Shares wili be, received by the Interim Secretary, »t his office, Harbor Chambers, Dunedin; and by.
