STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTII A LIA

Sixteen steamers have left England for Australia
since steam navigation has been established with that
country. the first steamer which went out—the Chusan—
took 79 days to get to Sydney. The Australian took 9.5
days, the Formosa 76, the Sydney 101, the Great Britain
98, the Sarah Sands 97, the Cleopatra 120, and the Mel-
bourne from Lisbon only 79 days. With regard to the
steamers Osmanli, Antelope, Harbinger, Adelaide, and
Argo, and the steamers which took out the Australian mails
from Southampton in Match and May last, some cannot
yet have reached Australia; and with regard to others,
sufficient time has not elapsed to hear of their arrival
out. An idea of the delays which these steamers
have met with at the coaling depots, may be gathered from
the fact that both the Australian and Sarah Sands were de-
tained at the various ports of call 151 days each ; and th.
Melbourne was detained 121 days between Lisbon and
Sydney. Since the establishment of steam navigation be
tween Englani and Australia, the sailing ship Beegapore
has made the passage between England and Sydney in 84
days. News also hai reached Sydney out New York. Pa-
nama, ann non r niacin*, In 92 nays; and the Mares Paulo
has made the voyage to Melbourne quicker than any
steamer. Two steamers are going out to Australia this
month, and one of the steamers belonging to the Australa-
elan and Pacific Company will be ready in August. She
will, however, go out via the Cape, so that it will be next
year before the Panama route can be tried. The chief causes
of the failure of the Australian Mail Packet Company were
the engineer's strike, which caused the company's steamers
to be hurriedly constructed, and the imperfect arrangement:
at the coal depots, which chiefly arose from bad weathet
and the scarcity f shipping. Still, with all these excuses,
the partial and temporary failure of steam navigation to'
Australia is discreditable, and there is not much doubt
that if America were as intimately connected with Australia
as England is, she would have made more energetic
and successful efforts to establish a quick communication
with such valuable regions than has been done in this coun-
try. For the future Australia will prsaent two important
points, at which efforts must be made to establish a rapid
communication, viz. Melbourne and Sydney. The former
can be reached best by way of India, and the latter by way
of Panama. In the Panama route, New Zealand will be
comprehended, which, according to last advices, has turned
out a gold region. It appears that the Peninsular and
Oriental Company have offered to establish a communica-
tion with Australia in 57 days. The terms on which they
will do this have not transpired. The advantages, how-
ever, of a monthly communication in such a short space of
time cannot be overrated at the present juncture. That
the company could effect, if they pleased, such a communi-
cation by way of Marseilles and Ceylon or Singapore, there
cannot be a doubt.
