INTERIM SECRETARY : James Mills, Esq. This Company has been formed for the purpose of providing more efficientsteam communication between the different ports of New Zealand—the want of which has been much 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 weekly 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 and from the several smaller Ports on the Coast of Otago and Canterbury. For these purposes the following new vessels will be required : — Three first-class Steamers for the trade between Dunedin and Manukau, to be built in Europe, and capable of carrying from 400 to 500 tons of cargo, fitted with compound engines and the latest improvements, and with superior passenger accommodation, suited to the re quirements of the present day. These steamers will be of such class and speed as will ensure every facility to shippers of goods and con venience to the travelling public. One boat of smaller capacity and light draft of water, especially adapted to the trade to the West Coast of the Middle Island. With a view to commencing operations without delay it has been arranged to. take over, on the Ist o January next, the steamers Maori, Beautiful Star, and Samson, belonging to the Harbour Steam Company's fleet, and also their new steamer just built on the Clyde specially for the Timaru and Lyttelton trade, and which is expected to arrive in the colony early In February. These vessels will at once create a revenue for the Company, and, it is believed, will be sufficient to carry on the trade of the ports on the Coasts of Otago and Canterbury. Sir James Mills, who has bo successfully conducted the busines of the Harbour Company from its com mencement, will continue to act as Manager of this Company. It is estimated that to carry out these proposals a capital of £150,000 will be required, and to provide for this it is proposed to call up £4 per share, making a total of £100,000, and to borrow the remaining £50,000 on debentures bearing a low rate of interest. This arrangement mil enable larger dividends to be declared on the paid-up capital. Out of the total number of shares, the proprietors of the Harbour Company will take 7,500 paid up to the extent of £4 each, and the remaining 17,500 are now offered to investors. In recommending this investment to the public, the Provisional Directors may state that large pro fits are now being made by steamers on the coast of 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, 1-the Company will be able to secure ample profits, and at the same time promote trade and the convenience of the travelling public by providing improved facilities and accommodation at reduced rates. Applications for shares will be received by the Li terim Secretary, at his office, Harbour Chambers, Dunedin ; and by Messrs Miles and Co., Hereford street, Christchurch ; at the office of the National Bank of N?ew Zealand, Auckland; or Messrs Hender son & Macfarlane, Agents. UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY OF NEW ZEALAND. THE List of Applications for Shares will Clese on the 6th January. JAMES MILLS, Secretary pro^tem. Notices.
