The objects of the Company are to purchase Steamers, suitable for use in the Wellington Harbor; to establish direct communication between Wellington, Petoni, and Lowry Bay ; and to make daily trips round the harbor. It is intended to Lave constructed thoroughly first-class steamers with a high speed, to have elaborately fitted-up saloons, with every convenience ; open, clear decks, with canvas awning over, and to carry from 200 to 230 passengeta.

Estimates have been carefully prepared by practical gentlemen of the coat and annual working expenses of such steamers, also an estimate of the minimum returns, showing a large profit to shareholders. The promoters feel confident that the undertaking will speedily develop into an extensive company. The many advantages this harbor has over other places where these steamboat companies have been such a success, is sufficient guarantee that a similar undertaking must pay well here. We have a large number of residents residing in the city and suburbs who will certainly patronise and support such a desirable undertaking, especially as it will bring within their reach the means of spending a thoroughly enjoyable day, and that, too, at very little expense. The fares both for ordinary traffic and pleasure excursions, will be exceedingly small, and such as will induce everyone to travel by the steamers. Petoni, where it is proposed to erect a substantial wharf, is now a rapidly rising township, and has already a large population. Land there is eminently adapted for building sites and manufactories. The beach at Petoni is undoubtedly one of the finest in the colony, and during the summer months would attract daily a large.number of yintors. Lowry Bay is well-known too for its suitableness for pleasure excursions and picnics. The shares have beenifixed at such a small figure, that everyone has mi opportunity of taking an interest in this desirable undertaking. It is proposed to call up only 2s. per share rm application, 2s. per share on allotment, and the balance by calls of 2s. each, at intervals of not less than two months.
