NEW STELII LINE FROM LIVERPOOL TO
NEW YOWL.

SAILING OF THE "OCEANIC."

colour

The steam trade between L'verpool and New York
still continues to develop itself—its *Avoneement being
marked by an increose in the six of the steamers, and • 4
vast and most desirable improvement in their equipment. 1
On Thursday there was inaugurated • new line of 4
steamers between the Mersey and the Heiken. The i
Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, of which Messrs.
limey, Imrie, and Co. are the managers, despatehed the
" Oceania," the pioneer steamer of their new fleet, for I
New York, under the most gratifying and encouraging
auspices. Unlike most of the other Atlantis companies,
the new one has broken fresh ground, so far as the
building of the vessels are concerned; and if we are to
take the " °manic " as • speeimen of the new fleet, we
have not thealightest hesitation in saying that it will
be one of the finest engaged in the Atlantic trade. This
vessel was constructed, under special survey, by Messrs.
, Harland and Wolff, of Belfast, who will, in the sours.
of the year, launch from their yard file other vessels of
equal tonnage, power and equipment to that of the
"Oceanic," 'lamely —the " "Atlantic, "Paoific,"
" Arctie," and " Afriatic." All them vessels will be
about .5,000 tons burden, with engines of 600 horse-power,
but, of course, capable of working up to a much higher
pressure. The " Weenie "is 432 feet in length, 41
feet in breadth, and 3d feet depth of hold; and, although
oho takes such an immense stretch in the water, her
lines see as fine and as delicate as those of any firllt.4ll4ll
yacht. The rig of the ship is in keeping with her great
length—three of the Magill being ship rigged, whilst
the other Is schooner tigged. The spread of canvas
which the " Omanio "can *wry will be enormous; and
this, combined with her extremely fine lines and high
steaming power, will make her one of the fastest vessels
afloat.
All internal arrangements of the" Oceanic "have been
carried out with a view to the comfort both of the saloon
and steerage passengers, the great desideratum—that of
ventilation—being one of the main features on board
the Alp. The state rooms, with saloon and smoking
rooms, are situated amidships, and the cabin passenger*
are consequently removed from the motion and noise
generally experienced on screw steamers: The saloon,
which will comfortably acoommodate 200 passengers,
ample* the entire breadth of the steamer's midshipa,
and is fitted up in the most exquisite manner, the
furniture oust upholstery being all Hist the most
fastidious cabin passenger could dssire, and it almost
makes use feel inclined to undergo an Atlantic voyage
in throb for the sake of enjoying the many comforts
which this splendid saloon presents.
The state rooms are exceedingly lofty and light, and
every precaution has been takeu against any emergency
which may arise at sea. Over head in each room are
strappesl four patent lifebelts, which can be easily and
without i 110312•011101200 attached to the person. There

carlaliwoatefarmsilnypsp"liet:, ric°°cm.,s'for the use of the saloon

passengers.
The accommodation for the steerage pssiengers is not
the niort modern improvernnitt elf .eting light, warmth to .nrpaseed on any oaten-going steamer &Roil. All
and, as we have said before, ventilation, have been
faittif ally and lavishly carried oat, and the passengers
will have no cause to complain either for want of spate
between decks or of the otner arrang unapt&
which have
been so considerately provided to alleviate the nu-
pleasantness of an oceao voyage. At the company
state themselves, and state very truly. " Mem gleam.
ships have been designed to Siod the very beet
accommodation to all passagea between this country sod
America." The berths for steerage passengers number
about 1,200.
One great featurein connection with the aerommodatlon
for the steerage Pessengers is that there are separate
and distinct lavatories below for married men and
women. single women, and single men, and all necessity
for coming on deck is dose away with" and thus
another of the "horror" of the Atlantic in winter haa
been blotted out.
We must also call attention to the magnificent Ger-
vice of electro—plate supplied by the eminent firm of
glkington k Co., of Liverpool. This service is on the
meet complete scale, every article that could possibly
tender* to the comfort of the passengers being mole.

from the dishes and covers to the spoons and forks, is

most careful workmanehip. produces an effect silverlik•
and artistic. Messrs. glkington have supplied services
of plate for nearly ill the priscipal steamhi,, lines in
this country, but we understand that the Jervis° on
