REDUCTION OP FARES TO AND FROM THE
UstTED STATES.—The competition that is now going on
between the various lines of Atlantic steam-ships, both Bri-
tish and American, having already benefited the public by
considerable and gradual reduction in the length of e
actor the ocean, by reason of the increased s intro-
duced and the superior class of vessels employed when
contrasted with those in use some years since, now promises
to be additionally advantageous to the travelling commu-
nity by the reduction of fares between Europe and
the United States. Both the Canard and Collins
lines of mail steam ships have recently advertised
that, after November next, the fares from Liver-
. 1 to New York will be at the rate of 301. each
rat-class, being a decline of 51. each passenger from pre-
vious rates. This proceeding has been followed by a similar
movement on the part of the proprietors of the American
rteam•hips Washington and Hermann, who have lowered
their first-class fares between Southampton and New York
from 311. 10s. to 281., from 261.55. to 241. for lower deck, and
in the second class from 16/. 16s. to 151. It is understood,
also, that in November the rates of passage money by the
Havre, Southampton, and New York steam-ships Franklin
and Humboldt will fall to the same level as the Cunard and
Collin's lines. There is no doubt that eventually the great
competition that will eLW among these four lines of steamen
added to the opposition they will all experience from the
numerous lines of screw steamers between Liverpool
and Glasgow, and New York, Philadelphia, and Boston,
will have the effect of still further lowering the rates of
Pe money
.by the paddle-wheel mail lines. It will,
therefore,gi remain to be seen if, with these reduced rates of
pesaage-money,. the operations will yield remunerative re-
sults to the various companies, and if the increased traffic
will keep pace with and compensate for the decreased twill
of passenger fares. Whatever may be the effect on the
finances of the respective semsgwaiwa it is quite clear that
the general public will be plasm aot only by the lessened
espouse of travelling, but aloe dm greater choice afforded
them in the largely • wanks of transatlan'
