The want of a suitable steamer to do the’ increasing' trade of the Patea Dlstritt with other ports of the Colony will be generally admitted, the steamer at present running between Wanganui and Patea being unsuitable for stock carrying purposes, and in order to supply the markets on the West Coast of the South Island, it is necessary that a suitable boat should be olutained for that purpose, also to convey goods from Wellington, Kelson, and other porta direct, instead of the present uncertain means of transit via Wanganui, which’ also adds considerably to the cost of the goods obtained through that source. The promoters of the Company, in fixing, the above-mentioned rate of payments of calls, consider that it, should meet with the hearty support of the. settlers (who will really be the principal gainers by ha\ing a means of conveyance to carry away their surplus stock and produce to a profitable market). In the event of the whole of the shares being applied for, the promoters do’ not consider that it will be necessary to’’ call up the whole of the capital ; but, should it be necessary to call the whole of it up, the payments will extend over a period of at least seven months, which should make it convenient for every one interested to take even a small interest in' the company. In having the shares distributed in small lots, it would tend to the success of the Company, inasmuch as each individual •shareholder would be likely to exert hintself in promoting the welfare of the Company, by using the Company’s boat for auv importation or exportation at his disposal. The promoters of the Company have already obtained an assurance of a grant of .Out) per annum from the Government, 1 ns a subsidy in aid of the boat, in consideration of the steamer towing sailing vessels inwards and outwards of the Patea river, at a fixed rate. This sum ahum will considerably assist in paying tlip working expenses of the boat. A number of (he shares will be ollered to the public in Wellington, Nelson, Wanganui, and West Coast, to which ports it i.sintended that the vessel shall trade, hut the company’s head quarters Will he at Patea and be managed by a local directory. The share list will dost on the 15th December next. ■ •■' ■ Applications for shares can be, made of any of: the Provisional directors, or at. the Company’s temporary office, Carlyle.
