The Capital to bo called up as follows: 5s per share on application, 53 per share on allotment, 5s per Bhnro at intervals of three months, as required, until £3 per share is paid up. Provisional Directors : Anderson, H. E., Esq. Morton, H. 8., Esq. Aickin, Graves, Esq. Mitcholßon, E., Esq., Barber, H. X, Esq. M.H.R. Carr, R. C , Esq. McKerizie, D. H., Esq. Chambers, Jno,, Esq.

TnE objoct of this Company Is to provide ton nage suitable to the growing trade of the Port of Auckland, so that the imports and exports of our city may bo as much as possible carried In liOUAlt.y-ownkd vessblb, and the shipping business parried on by, a purely looai.com- PANY. ; ■ . ~, ■ . ■...-.. I. The rates of freights current In this colony compare most favourably with those ruling in neighbouring -colonies, and are, as a rule, sufficiently remunerative to leave a good profit, trading hence either foreign or intercolonial. The acknowledged daily increasing commer cial importance of Auckland is a source of gratification, and the shipping trade, under skilful management and with sufficient capital, would meet with speedy and great develop ment with many parts of the World with which we are at present not in absolutely direct com munication. . s Tho objoct of Oils Company is to provide ves solstotrado In tho directions already opened, and others which may from time to time offer inducements. > ,■ Thero is ample room for a well-organised new lino botweon Anokiand and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with New York; and with some of the larger centres of Continental European trade. Of course, the 'large* and increasing export of bulk and sawn Umber will form an important adjunct. A trade with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, &0,, being al ready established, could easily be continued with regularity, whilst the Newcastle and Grey mouth coal trades Bhould be also provided tor. There ia a vast field in prospective for a good trado with America, Mauritius! China; Manilla, Calcutta, the Cane, Noumea, and numerous foreign ports, with some of which, even at the present moment, a profitable direct trade Is "being carried on in a desultory manner, and which would find Bupport from the hew In dustries lately established here and in prospoo tive establishment. Tho Company do not propose to limit them aolvos 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 Btarted a new-London lino, posseßS the nucleus of a floet suitable for com mencing operations, and arrangements have been made to take over their vessels and ths good-will of their shipping business for the sum of thirty thousand six hundred and fifty pounds (£30,650), they taking half the amount in Com pany's shares. Their floet, consisting of 8 vessels, with aggregate tonnage of 2642 tons, Bhould be augmented as Boon as possible, so that the business may be extended without delay, especially the London and American branches. The services of Mr C. B. Stone, as managing director, and the staff at present under Mb control, who are experienced In this line at business, have been secured to take office under the now Company. It is further proposed that the working ox pousos should bo conducted on strictly economi cal principles, the expense of agencies and branches to bo defrayed out of commissions on tho actual freights earned by those branches. The proposed capital is set down at £150,000. but as only a small portion is required at present for the purchase of the existing fleet and coc tiiik-eut expenses, further capital will not be called up until vessels suitable for the London and other trades may offer for sale at reasonable prices, until which time it is proposed to charter vessels as required to supplement tho present fleet. It is proposed to invito all Auckland business moo and all who may have any interest in the trade of our port to take Shares in this- local Company, and to give the undertaking every possible support. The Company would thus be n a incasuro naif supporting, and strong enough to compote most successfully with any outside or foreign company or fon-lgn shipping. The Company could then not fail to bo a credit to our port and a most lucrativo investment to Shareholders. Tho promoters having evory confidence. In the success of the undertaking, now appeal to tho public to insure it by subscribing freely tor shares.
