NELSON COAST STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. At a meeting held in the Literary Institution, Nelson, on Wednesday, the 19th of September, 1855, W. R. Nicholson, Esq., in the "chair — It was proposed by Mr. Feabon, seconded by Mr. Cubtis, and carried unanimously — " That a Company be formed to establish Steam Communication between Nelson, Motueka, Massacre Bay, and other parts of the province, to be called the Nelson Coast Steam Navigation Company." Proposed by Mr. Wilkie, seconded by Mr. FEABON, and carried unanimously — "That the capital of the Company be £2,000, in 400 shares of £5 each, and that two-thirds of each share be paid up on the Deed Of the Company being signed." Proposed by Mr. WiUtebbuHN, seconded by Mr. Jennings, and carried unanimously — " That power be given to the Directors of the Company to make application to theto&Btees of the Nelson Trust Fund for a loan, of £2XOO X and to give bonT) on behalf of the shareholders fa/the amount." Proposed by Mr. Cttbtj^j seconded by Mr. Willie, and carried Unanimouflli^"That a Provißumdr Committee be appointed to manage the affairs OfAe Company until the appointment of Directors, jpd that the same consist of Messrs. Nicholson, Ridingjf Fearon, Campbell, Parker, and Curtis." ¥ W. R. Nicholson, j Chairman. The\unpajly was originally intended to consist of twenty smmolders in shares of £75 each, five of the shares to db reserved for the residents of Motueka. Fifteen of the shares were subscribed for in Nelson, also two out of the five reserved for Motueka, but simultaneously with the agitation raised in Nelson for a Steamer, there was a similar manifestation in Motueka, and a desire evinced in that place for a more extended proprietary by means of £1 or £5 shares. The proceedings of the proposed Nelson Company were therefore delayed to endeavour to efiect an amalgamation of the two interests, and with this view correspondence and interviews took place between the projectors of the different schemes, which resulted in the arrangement carried out in the meeting above advertised. The original subscribers to the £75 shares will therefore please to intimate as soon as possible to the Provisional Committee how many of the £5 shares they will now take ; and the capital of the Company being enlarged, there will be some £5 shares open to the public, applications for which will be received until the 21st of October next by any member of the Provisional Committee. From late information received from Melbourne, there is every reason to believe that a Steamer of the description desired may be procured advantageously at the present time, and tne Committee are now engaged in making arrangements to secure one, by forwarding instructions to their agent in that place by the next post. f ELSON COASjr STEAM NAVIGATIONiCOMPANY.
