This company is projected by gentlemen largely interested in the New Zealand trade, under the conviction that the existing communication is inadequate for the work. The promoters are convinced that the growing requirements of the trade call urgently for additional steam communication. They confidently believe, and are assured by many of the principal mercantile firms here and in New Zealand, that an important expansion of the traffic will certainly follow the commencement of the company's operations. The promoters are already in possession of particulars aud prices obtained from some of the first ship builders in Great Britain, of steamers best suited for the trade with New Zealand, New Caledonia, the Fiji Islands, &c. Such steamers may be briefly described as vessels of large capacity on such a draft of water as will enable them to take their cargoes to and from tire wharves, with accommodation for about 200 first and second-class passengers, and steaming fully' twelve knots an hour, with the latest improved compound engines for economising fuel and space. The promoters have great confidence in placing the present enterprise before the public, based on tire marked success of the large and increasing number of steamers trading on our coasts, their being now registered as belonging to the port of Melbourne sixtyone steam vessels of all descriptions, which have grown out of the earnings of twelve steamers of all sorts belonging to the port in 1853, and the increase of vessels employed in the New Zealand trade is perhaps more marked than any other. It is desired further to direct attention to the following facts, tending to the advantage of the project, viz.:—The stimulus to trade by the established telegraphic communication between the two countries. The greater facilities for development of the large grain producing interest, manifest in the growing trade of Oamaru and Timaru, as well as the more, southern parts of the Middle Island, for whicli produce Victoria can find a permanent market. The prospect of an early revision of the Victorian tariff in the interests of trade and commerce. The curative properties of the Hot Springs of New Zealand as tending to promote an increase of visitors in quest of health. And the large number of steamers and passenger ships from Europe, India, China, and America having their termini in Australian ports, carrying an increasing number of passengers for or from New Zealand. All which growing interests will tend to the advantage of the new company. Following the plan of late adopted in England by recently-formed shipping companies, it is proposed that the business shall be managed in Melbourne, as an agency, under the control of the directory, thus avoiding the outlay for a large and costly establishment. Gentlemen have lately visited New Zealand in the interest of the proposed company. They met with a most cordial reception, received numerous subscriptions, and promises of support among many sections of the community. In fact, New Zealand and Melbourne interests are thus so extensively enlisted in the company, as shareholders and otherwise, that the new line of steamers cannot fail to obtain that ample support which will render the enterprise a success. In conclusion, the promoters would invite intending investors to make prompt applications for shares, to enable them to contract for the building of the new ships while the cost of construction ndes low, as at the present time. There are no special advantages offered to any shareholders, and therefore no promoters’ interests to be paid. If no allotment is-made, ■ the deposit money will be returned in full. Forma of application and all information are obtainable from the company’s brokers, Melbourne, who will receive applications accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share, and from the provisional directors or their appointees in New Zealand, and at the branches of the Bank of New Zealand. The articles of association, when prepared, will bo open for inspection at the branches of the Bank of New Zealand in New Zealand, and at the brokers’ in Melbourne. Share list will close on 30th September next. Application for shares to be made to W. & G. TURNBULL & CO ; Or, to S. CARROLL, Broker.
