THE attempts which have been made, and which
are promised, of an unjustifiable rivalry to the port
of Liverpool, as an Ocean Steam Packet Station, re-
quire the immediate and earnest attention of the
commercial community.

Southampton has long been the favourite of a
certain party, who apprehend more enlightened,
and consequently more formidable, opposition from
our Borough and the North, than from any other
portion of the United Kingdom. But where are
Southampton's commercial advantages? Where
are • her trade facilities, her postal requirements,
compared with the port of the slavery abolitionist
and free-trader of the North ? The 'establishment
of ocean steam communication E., has hitherto been
accomplished at the public expense, while the old
postal policy of the country has been totally aban-
doned, and private ,interests destroyed, without
any corresponding advantage being secured to the
public.. •
To sustain the Southampton and West Indian
steam-ship line, the public contribute to the tune
of about XlOO,OOO per annum ; and there is scarcely
a public undertaking of the kind, Avhich has given
less general satisfaction, and which has proved
more disastrous to the Company itself. Their
losses from shipwreck and want of punctuality are
proverbial, and have left but the lowest profits in
the -shape of dividends to the shareholders. A
cursory glance at facts will account for all this,
and something more. Public Companies, estab-
lished in London, are generally presided over,
more by influential men of fashion than of busi-
ness. This is the first and great cardinal mistake
for both the shareholder and. the public ; and in
the Southampton Companies we have this error
fully exemplified. ,The extraordinary selection
of Southampton as a Packet Station, is another and

most prominent feature in the want of success.
Fancy a ship, requiring cargo from the North of
England being carried away as far South as pos-
sible to load !

Is there no fallacy here? But fancy the letters
of the Northern traders being carried away
to London, and then to Southampton, to be
shipped for the West Indies, the Gulfs of Mexico
