PROSPECTUS The want of proper Bt«amer Apmodation between Auckland, Thames, and Coromaiel has been severe ly felt for so considerable a timohat the Projectors of this Coropmy now propose to^rm a Joint Stock Company (Limited), for the purpe of having a Beat built expressly for passenger ai cargo traffic, not only to meet the pressing demarit of trade, but with sue ti increased speed as to limit jie passage to and from Auckland to four hours, at once to be entered into with Messrs Frag< & Tinne, Auck land, for a Kirst-class Iron Boat.Uplete with every modern improvement and acconflation, to be ready by December next, and estlma^ to cost £11,000, The nominal capital of the Comjay is estimated at £12,600, £1,500 being allowed tdieet contingencies. The guarantee, ns regards the|iw Boat, to be as follows :—vpeed to be 12 knottier hour; and far every knot less than 12 knots peihour, her builders to forfeit at the rate of £1,000 ptiEnot Should the speed of the Boaticeed 12 knic. the builders to receive a bonus of £1,000 for everknot over 12 knots per hour : such bonus to be tikehp in shares in the new Company. It will thus be observed that tli^rojectors mean to provide the accommodation rcquid so much by the public, at the same time to hav6 Company which will give to Shareholders a handsne return for the capital invested1 The number of European inhabibts in the Hauraki district being over 15,000, withthe large settled populations at Coromandel arjcTharaes, and the growing districts of Tairua, Ohirmuri and Piako, and the immediate prospect Ola large addition, through the development of gold iniug and agricul tural intartsts (as well as the largeative population, who form a considerable item lnpaosenger traffic), provide a field for the fenterpris of the projected Steam Company second to none iniew Zealand.
