This company has been formed for the purpose of providing more efficient steam communication between the different ports of New ZealandTrthe want of which hus been much felt for some titu<> past, and which is becomiog more perceptible as ■ the growing trade of the colony is developed. It i 8 desired to esthblish a weekly line of Steamers between Otago and the principal Northern ports, to put on a steamer between Dunedin and the We*t Coast Ports of the Middle Island, and also to provide for the efficient conduct of the trade two and from theaereral f mailer Ports on the Coasts of Otago and Canterbury. For these purposes the following new vessels will be required :— | Three first-class Steamers for tbe trade between DuncJin and Manalcau, to be built in Europe, and capable of carrying from 401 to 530 tors of cargo, fitted with compound engines and ihe latest improvements, and wiik superior pas- j scnger accommodation, suited to the requirements of the precentd»y. These steaapcrs will be o auch class and speed aa will ensure every facility to shippers of goods, and convenience to the travelling public One boat of smaller capacity and light draft j of water, especially adapted to the trade to the West Coast of the Middle Island. 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 Htar, and Samson, belonging to the Harbour Steam Company's fleet, and also thoir new steamer, just built on the Clyde, specially for the Timaru and Ly Melton trade, and which is expected to arrive ia the colony esrly in February. These vessels will at once create a revenue for the Company, and, it is believed, will he sufficient to carry on the trade of the ports on th,e Coasts of Otago and Canterbury. Mr James Mills, who hag so successfully conducted the business of the Harbor Company irom its commencement, will continue to act ac 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 £4 per share, making a total of £100,000, and to borrow the remaining £50,000 on debentures bearing a low rate of interest. This a,rrangenient will enable larjer dividends to bs declare^ on the paid-up cap'tal. , ' Out of tbe total number of shares, the proprietors of the Harbor Company will tak.9 7,500 paid up to the extent of £4 each and the remaining 17,500 are now offered to investors.
