At that time the packet service trom England to North America cost about £40,000 a-year above any revenue produced by it. For the purpose of getting rid of this useless drain on the public purse, and of accelerating the communication between the mother country and the colonies, the Govern ment invited the shipping interest and others to send in tenders, stating the terms on which they would build steamers capabl of crossing the Atlantic, and carrying the mails from England to America. Several tenders were sent in, but that of the Cunard Company was preferred by the Government, as holding out the best prospects of serving the public and securing a revenue from the carry ing of letters. The result has shown that this was a wise decision; for the effect, so far as Government is concerned, was to free it from the cost of running the gun-brigs for- really b Americ ch so far out merly employed; s relates to the revenue, to _ _e it so greatly as to leave a surplus after paying the sum granted to the company for carrying the mails across the Atlantic; and, as relates to the colonies and the mother ountry, to reduce the time of communication from twenty . n days one way, and from thirty-five to eleven It is now attempted to describe this 'eat ente ,e as a monopoly.
