Capita/.: £7000; in 1400 Shares of ,■£;> each. £2 payable u'pou allotment, and the remainder in calls not exceeding- £1 each, extending over a period of Four Months. It is estimated that tho cost of putting- the ship afloat, will bo £2000 Amount payable to present proprietors in cash for purchase of Vessel 1500 Do. by Bills fordo ." ; 1500 Fitting' out and contingencies 2000 £7000 IT is proposed to form tlie above Companj' for the'purpose of takinjr tlia steam-ship " Victory" oil the beach, and rc-iitthiff her for sea. The "Victory" is a screw-steamer of 1000 tons gross register, and fitted with enjymra of 180 horsepower. She is known as one of tho strongest and fastest vessels in Australia. She now lies on tiie beach at hiy-h-watcr murk, and oil sand, there bein<r no rocks ov dangers in Cuo way of taking; her off. .She is not strained or injured in any way. Her engines are in perfect working- order; and, if she were got off, which Mr. James Scott (the Engineer) statcs'may be easily.accomplished at moderate expense, she m'ifjht be fitted for sea at short notice, and at a trifling- outlay. Mr. James Scott, of Newcastle, N.S.W., proprietor of the patent, slip there, and well-known for his ingenious and sueeesr-fiil accomplishment ot similar iindertakins:", proposes to lift the ship and ccnvey her into deep water by menus of a hydraulic apparatus (now in use in England), fur which he possesses n patent. Mr. Scott estimates tilts expense of taking- the ship off at-£2OOO. ■ The " Victory" was valued, at the time she was rim ashore, at. from £25,000 to £30,000 ; and, in the opinion of coinpeient.juii;>-es, would be worth the same sum if successfully got" :d!oat again and refitted for sea. The hull of the " Victory" was purchased by her present proprietors, who otlcr to hand her over to the Company upon the following terms: —£1000 to be paid down on giving possession, and £1500 in bills. It will bo for the shareholders to determine whether the Company shall sell the vessel and realize their profit, or make arrangements to run her. The rapid increase of the Now Zealand trade has given greatly increased employment to the colonial steamers ; and,, owing to the recent less of several, such vessels are at the present time greatly in demand and enhanced in value. The "Victory" is well-known as a vessel eminently suited, from her size and speed, for the intercolonial trade, in which she might be employed with great advantage to the province, and large direct profit to tlio proprietors. One-half of the shares have already been taken up, and on a sufficient; number being allotted, a meeting of Shareholders will be called for the purpose of properly organizing the Company. In the meantime applications for Shares may be made at the office of Mensrs.B.'B. Martin & Co. Dunedin, Jan. 15., 1862.
