Tho acknowledged daily increasing commer cial Importance of Auckland la a source of gratification, and the shipping trade, mnder fldlf ul management and with sufficient capital, would meet with speedy and great develop ment with many parts of the World with wkion weMeatpreaentnotin absolutely direct oom mTheobjeot of this Company Is to provide yes- Bela to trade in the dlreoMons already opened, and others whloh may from time to nma offer ample room for a well-organised new line between %3kland and London, Uverpool, and Glasgow, with New York, and with some of the larger centres of Continental European trade. Of oourse, tho large and increasing enwrtof bulk and sawn Umber will form an fmportant adiunot. A trade with Tasmanfi, Sydney; Melbourne, Adelaide &0., being al ready established, could easily be continued wWrepdarity, whilst the NewcasUeand Grey mouthooal trades should be also provided for. Tii nrn la a vast field in prospective for a good trJde with America, Mauritius. China, Manilla, Caioutta, the Cape.

Their fleet; conslsttoK of 8 vessels, with aggregate tonnage of 26$ tons, should be augmented asjsoon as- possible, so that the business may be extended without delay, especially the London and American sluices of Mr O.
