MANUKAU STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY (LIMITED). Capital, £20,000. In 2,000 Shaies of £10 each, £1 per share to be paid on Allotment, ami such portions of the rcmaiiulei at such mteivals as may be determined at the fust geneial meeting of shaieholders. Piovisional Director : Samuel Browning, Esq., Cap iain CimifeTY, G. H. CIIEbSEMAN, Fi«q., EDENIiZEII GIBBONM, Esq , A. B. Griffiths, Esq., David Gnuiw, Esrj., Gro. Honoc, Esq., G. M. O'Rokke, Esq., Ralph Simpson, Esq. PROSPECTUS. The Manukau Steam Compauy has been piojected in Older to supply a cheap and legular means of communication between the capital aud the extensiTe distuuts wateied by the Waikato aud its tributaues, and the vauous settlements on the shores of the M.-inuk.ui liar bout. The scheme ciubitices- not only the placing a suitable steamoi on the Manukau, but also the consti notion of a cheap ti amw ay acioss the level countiy between the Wamku and the banks of the W.ukato, with piopei w htii f age ard stoiage accommodation at .ill the places at which the company's boats will call [t may also be found dcsuable to evtond operitions to the W<ukato itself , and by tunning boats on that uvei and its blanches, to undcitako the cairying ti.vilic ti.ifhc thiough tho whole distance. The location of thieo legmients of Waikato Militia in the upper poitiou of the country has .iheady created a consideiablc amount of tiaflic , and the opening up of those feitile dittucts to the enteipuao of Euiopean colonisation will certainly lead to the development of the uatnial tesources of the countiy to a vciy laige extent. Alicady the highly successful sale ol a pa.it of the site of the futiuccity of Newcastle (at the junction of the Wadcato aud Waipa riveia) has shown the favouiable ebtinmte which the meicantilo community has foimed of the piospects of tiade m that distuct ; an estimate whjch the appioachmg settlement of huge numbers of ICuinpean nnimgiants on the W.ukato lauds cannot fail to justify. It is ob\ioivf that, ■«hei ever a laigo population spungy up, leady means of communication must be prowtied. It is, theiefoie, to meet an actual necessity, th.at the establishment of the Manukau Steam Company line is pioposed, and the Piovisional Dnectois feel that they can, with peifect confidence, lecommend the scheme to then- fellow colonists in tho assuiance that it will not only be of gieat sen ice to the community, in assisting to open up an impoiUutpatt of this piovmce, but also, if wisely wined ont, a souice of considerable profit to the thmcholdcii. Applications foi shaies will be leceived by the undesigned until noon of MONDAY, October 17. GEO. HODGE, Hon. Secretary. Foun-s of application for shaies can be obtained of Mi. 11.
