The object of the proposed Company is to purchase a Steam Vessel of a - size and draught of water suitable for' -the requirements of the’ trade of Wanganui.^ It is intended that she shall be laid on as a regular trader between Wellington and Wanganui, and shall also be employed in conveying Cattle and Goods to other ports as ’the Directors may arrange. It is believed that the time has now come for such an alteration in the means of communication with other ports as this Company contemplates. The rapidly increasing trade of Wanganui, the great difficulty settlers have in conveying, their cattle to a market, and the increasing demand in the more thickly popu la ted parts of the country for the rural produce of this district, all point out the necessity for placing the coasting trade of this place on a more satisfactory footing. It is well known that the conveyance of Cattle and Goods by sailing vessels for short coasting voyages is uncertain} and in the case, of perishable merchandize almost impracticable. The ' . facilities hitherto afforded by the Wellington Steam Navigation Company, while perhaps all that could be reasonably expected, have not met the wants of the district ; and serious loss both of time and money has been occasioned by the frequent delays occasioned by the want of power of the steamers or other causes, and by the unsuitable accommodation in them for cattle and sheep. The vessel which it is proposed to purchase will be a Screw Steamer of about 296 tons burthen or 150 tons register, drawing when loaded ft., with 21 ft. beam and 140 ft. over all; built and fitted up with moveable stalls, for the accommodation of Cattle. It is believed at present that such/a vessel is being built in anticipation lof a proposal made being accepted : and as the order for the steamer goes home by the September mail, it is reasonable to expect she will be here in .less than nine months. It may be with confidence anticipated that this Company will be able to secure a considerable addition to its income by the carriage of the mails between this and Wellington. The steamers at pres-
