This company has been formed tor fche purpose of providing more efficient steam communication between the different; ports of New Zealand— the want; of which h*s been much felt for some time paat, and which is becoming more perceptible as the growing trade of fche colony is developed. 16 is desired to establish a weekly line of Steamers between Ofcago and the principal Northern ports, ta put oa a steamer between Danedia and the West Coast Ports of the Mddfe Island, and also to provide for the efficient; conduct of the trade two and from fche several smaller Ports on the Coasts of Ofcago and Canterbury. For these purposes the following new vessels will be required ; — , Three firsfc-class Steamers for the trade between Dunediu and Manakau, to be b»ilfc in Eiirope, and capable of carrying Irom 40!) to 500 tons of cargo, fifcted; , with compound engines and the latest improvements, and wifch superior passenger accommodation, suited fco the requirements of the present day. These steamers will be 0' such class and speed as will ensure every facility fco shippers of goods, and convenience to the travelling public. : One boat of smaller capacity and light draft j of water, especially adapfced to fche trade : to the West: Cbasfc of the Middle island.
