PNothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the
rogress of' Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the
for
Progress
Trade of LiverpooL In the year 1852 the tonnageeBBe of
e4n steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was /15 tons, while iu 1852 it was 595,339, which, in the year
ding, June, 1863, increased to 756,120 tons.
In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve-
Ments for the economy of fuel had been introduced, steamers
could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of
Mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve-
Ments in marine engines, economy of fuel and space has been
effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and
screw steamers have not only been employed in all the near
trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their
owners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to
shippers, they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced
sal 'bag vessels.
For some years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been
gradually undergoing a change. In the Amer•can trade screw
steamers have taken the place of the once celebrated New
line York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of
goods and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and
a large number of intermediate and steerage passengers being
still conveyed by sailing vessels.
In the important branches of the American import trade,
viz., those of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually
sustainu ed by heating during the protr .cted voyages fre-
q
of ently made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest
g, en,aged in these trades will be enlisted in favour of
such
May scheme for the extension of steam shipping to include
the freight, and there cinbe no doubt but that the whole of
enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool
alone amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fad entirely into
,ne hands of steam companies.
,The first c,bject of this Company is to place on the New
ork station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and
-!,ondon, of large size and great capacity, which will be able
tov. parry almost, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels,
Mist at the same time, from the regularity of their passages,
-V,,eY will command a full share of the steam trade, and the
,(,,nrectors also intend sending steamers to the American
trade Ports when the war is brought to an end and the
9'ade re-opened, and have also under their
consideration the
waln nts of the Brazil and othertrades.
'willorganising this Company the Directors believe that it
not enter into undue competition with the existing lines.
The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the
Mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers.
The Inman Line has no subsidy, but nevertheless has been
Most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having
commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of
iasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the
Altman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse-
Power than those projected by this Company, which will be
eailed at much tees cost, and will be constructed to
consume
a comparatively s.r:all amount of coal ; at the same time of
such that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan-
lise capacitypsseg, they will be able to carry sufficient fuel
for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex-
pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad.
palrntiaolrldy" antic tnat the objects of this Company may not be even
pated, and that the stations may at once be
c'ecuPtiA• provisional arrangements have been made whereby
three new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all
respects metable tor the service, have been stcured. and con-
tits have been entered into for the building of others of about
3,500 tons each, and it is proposed to cAninence with a fort-
as

be got ready. The rts of der-

the extent the metropolitan trade may require.
The ships will be built uncer the inspection of Mr. John
Jordan —late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Regis, ry
'lron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting Engineer and
naval Architect the Direcrors have secured to th s Company.
The success which has attended the formation of well-
Inanaged steam companies has been very marked. That of
Cunard and Inman Company is well known. Ihe Pacific
lrtitearri. Navigation Company, whose suares,Lso paid, are sell-
;at £7B per share, has out ~t profits given to its share-
uolders new paid .up shares exceeding the amount of the ori-
ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on
the increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an
almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners,
With similar descriptions of vessels, but much smaller than
thosue this Ccmpaay intend to possess, have reaped like
reslts.
The Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a
very great success to the undertaking. They are not en-
tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com-
pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, ,han
those which have proved so z emunerative to severe: well-
known private firms engaged in the Mediterranean and other
trades, and have thus the advantage of tee experience so
acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient
management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships,
"vith moderate but sufficient horse-power and great carrying
capacity.
The introduction of the limited liability principle has en-
abled undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be
carried out by joint-stock companies, which may embrace the
co-operation of shippers and of others interested, instead of
by private capitalists as heretofore; the result being that
the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc-
cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn.
