This Company has been formed for the purpose of providing more efficient'steam communication between the idifferent ports of New Zealand—the want of which has been rmich'felt for-some time past, :and which ,is becoming more perceptible as the growing trade of the colony is developed. ' It is desired to establish a weeklyL line of Steamers .between, Otago and .the principal Northern ports, to put on a Steamer between Dunedin and the West Coast Ports of the Middle Island, and also to provide for the-efficient conduct of the trade to arid from the several smaller Ports'.-on the Coast-of Otago-and ' Canterbury. For those .purposes the following new i vessels will be required: — - ' Three first-class Steamers for. the trade between „;, Dunedin and Manukau, to be built in Europe, : i tn, and capable of, carrying, from 400 to 500 tons > I ; fof cargo, fitted with compound engines and t> '■ 'tlie latest improvements.* arid with superior 1 ' passenger aCcoriimodation, suited to the" ro-' ,: :- quirements Of the present day. These steamers' , i.,.. vyill be of such class and; speed; as will ensure I '- ■" overy, faciliiy to shippers of goods and con ,.:■ t venieiiee to the travelling public. '." '.' . One boat of smaller capacity and light draft'of : y water,., especially adapted to the trade toithe. Wos't Coast of the Middle Island. . vihrtit'1 7 With a view to commencing operations without delay it-has been arranged to take over, on the Ist of January next, the steamors Maori,, Beautiful Star,arid Samson, belonging tothe Harbour Steam! Co-ri{.any's fleet; and , also, their now steamer, just built'1 on tlie ■ Clyde specially for the Tiinaru and Lyttelton trade, and which' is expected .to arrive in the colony eairly In February- These vessels will at once create a revenue :for the Company,' and, it Is believed, will be sufficient to carry.,on.tho.tradejo_; the .pprts'on the Coasts of. Otaßo' arid Canterbury. . .. . . Mr James Mills, :whb his so successfully conducted the busines of thb Harbour- Company from'its com mencement, will continue-to act. as Manager of this Company. ,-. ~., .:*; . . itoiJaaxjaoo lo ';--; ' It is estimated that to'carry out these proposals _ capital of £150,000 will be required, arid to provid^ for thisiitis proposed to call up.£4 per-share; making' a total, of £100,000, and to borrow the remaining £60,000 on debenture's bearing a low rate of interest This arrangement will enable larger dividends to be declared, on the paid-up capital. i: ' ' ' ■ - . Out of the total number of shares, the proprietors of tho Harbour Company will take 7,500 paid up to the extent of £4 each, and the remaining 17,500 aire now offered to investors. , In recommending this investment to t_ie - public, the Provisional Directors , may state that large pro fxtsare now being irsade by steamers on the- coast of 1 New Zealand, and they are therefore confident that '.-by the employment of-vessels of-the character indi cated, fitted to work with the utmost economy; and meet the growing- traffic, without, undue strain, .the. Company will be able' to secure ample' profits, • arid at the same timo.proriiote trade arid the convenience of the travelling public iby improved , \ facilities and accommodation at reduced rates, y. \_ j lApi-licatlons fpr shaved will be re'eeived by the In- :terim-Scoretai-y}J at- hisJ office, -IHarbs\tf JChaWil_'ork; Dunedin ; and by Messrs Miles and Co., Hereford street, Christchurch ; and at tho office of the Nationa.l Bank of New Zealand hero.

Shareholders; The Standam- Fire and Marine Insurance Company has therefore been established, and the Provisional Directors have decided* that the following shall.be distinctive characteristics of the' Company : ' ~ 1.

PR OSP E C TIT S. , This Company has been formed for the purposa of Manufacturing Paper from* Phormiinn Tenax and other New Zeland fibres. The great demand for rags in excess of the supply In! the English Market has led to the use of Esparto grass, old ropes, straw, wood,; and many other sub stances of inferior quality. U The chief diffic-ulty experienced by all paper inaiiu ifa^tUrers- is .that, jof .-'obtaining supplies of: fibrous > materials of sufficient strength at a cheap rate.' ■"This Company will enjoy the advantage, possessed by] no English manufacturer, of having an unlimited supply of, a raw material which for strength and adaptability cannot be surpassed. _ The Provisional Directors, after much careful in- ' yefetigation, are fully satisfied that Phormium Tenax as.a staple for the manufacture of paper is unequalled. ,■ yery large quantities of tow are now annually exported from thisi' colony, and employed for that ' purpose. ___ - • With the aid of gentlemen formerly engaged in the manufacture, estimates^of the cost and erection of tho necessary plant, and the expense of production, &c, have,been prepared with great care. The Provisional Directors are confident that an article can be produc d far superior to any imported, at a much less cost, and after liberally allowing for contingencie, that largo profits will accrue to the shareholders.' The Provincial Government offer.evnry facility for. the selection of the requisite flax'lands, and steps are being taken to obtain frorii "the General Government an extension of time for. the £2.000 bonus offered for this manufacture. <-: ■ ' -..-;.> I The value of the Paper imported into the colony in :&'•. 1872 was upwards of £40,000. It is.believed the Com pany will be able,to supply,this demand, and produce .. ' a very largo surplus, particularly of wrapping papers for exportation. 7 It is estimated that the entire cost of the Plant wiU •not-exceed £15,000, and that not more than £2 per share will be" required. Application for shares to.be made to the Secretary, ,at 22, Exchange, Auckland, up to. December 20th. Five Shillings per Share to be paid on application, and Five ShiUirigs pe'rShare on aUotment. Further Calls not exceeding Five Shillings per Sh«re will be made •as required, twenty-eight days' notice being given. - -' . •' '. ■ '■ J. F.
