The acknowledged dato increasing commer cial Importance ot Auckland Is a source j of gratification, and the shipping trade, under. Skilful management end with sufficient capital, would meet with speedy and great develop mentwith many partaof the World withwhloh we aro at present not in absolutely direot com- m The object of this Company is to provide ves sels to trade in the directions already opened, and othors whloh may from time to time offer inducements. . '-■'■ ,-! , _ Thero Is ample room for a wen-organised new lino between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with New York, and with some of tho larger centres of Continental European trade. & course, the targe and increasing earoortofbulkand sawn timber will form an ffitant adjunct. A ttade with Tasmania. SydneyT Melbourne, Adelaide, &c, being al ready estabUshed, _could easily be continued whilst toeNewoastle andGrey mouth coal trades should be also provided for. There is a vast Add In proßpeoHye for a good trade with America, Mauritius, China, Manilla, Calcutta, tho Cape, Noumea, arfd numerous foreignports. with some of whloh, even at the present moment, a profitable direct trade is boina carried on in a doaultory manner, and which would find support from tho new in-, dustrles lately established here and in prospec tive establishment. . ~ ~ .. . ' The Company do not propose to limit them solvos to running their own vessels, but will from timo to time charter vessels when re quired, in tho event of their own not being Immediately available. ■Messrs Stone Brothers, who have for some time carried on a good shipping business, and who have now fairly started a new London lino, nossess the nucleus of a fleet suitable for com mencing operations, and arrangements have been made to take over their vessels and the rood-will of their shipping bnslnesa for the Bum of thirty thousand six hundred and fifty pounds rjrm r«o> they taking half the amount In Com pwy^ shires. Their fleet, oonalsting of 8 Vessels, with aggregate tonnage ot tsfi tons, should be augmonted as soon as possible, so that the business may be extended without delay, especially the London and American btThe services of Mr 0. B. Stone, as managing director, and tho stair at present under hfi control, who are experienced in this line of business, have been secured to take office under the new Company. . ■ It Is further proposed tbat the working ex penses should be conducted on strictly economi cal principles, the expense of agencies and branches to bo defrayed out of commissions on the aotuol freights earned by those branches. Tho proposed capital is set down at £150,000, bnt as only a small portion is required at present tor the purchase of the existing fleet and con. tinizent expenses, further capital will not,be called up until vessels suitable for tho London arid other trados may offer for sale at reasonable nrices until which time it is proposed to charter vessels as required to supplement tho present Tt is proposed to invito all Auokland business men and all who triay have any interest in the trade of our port to tako Shares in this local Company, and to give the undertaking every oosslble support. The Company would thus he In a measure self-supporting, and strong enough to oompete most successfully with any outside or foreign company or foreign shipping. The Company could then not fail to be a credit to our port, and a moat lucrative Investment to Shareholders. , _. . ■ The promoters having every confidence in the auccess of the undertaking,now'appeal to the public to insure it by subscribing freely for Shares, LIST OF VESSELS. ___•_*_*_._ Laira, Iron Barque _, 1 _, ..482 Alcestis, Iron Barque _. _. ...
