The National Steam Navigation Company is a
new undertaking of great importance. It is
proposed to place on the New York station a fleet
of screw steamers from Liverpool and London, of
large size and capacity, which, from the regularity
of their passnges, will doubtless command a full
share of the steam trade, as well as that of sailing
vessels. As time stall mature the progress of
the company's operations, steamers are to ply
to ports in South America, and, when the
war is over, to the American cotton ports.
Provisional arrangements have been made whereby
three new steamers have been secured, and contracts
have been entered into for the building of others of
about 3,500 tons each. The operations of the com-
pany are to commence by fortnightly services each
way, to be increased to weekly as soon as all
the vessels are ready. The ports of departure
are to be—Liverpool for the weekly line, and
London to the extent the metropolitan trade
May require, Reference is made iu the prospectus
to the success of kindred institutions, such as the
Cunard and Inman Company, the Pacific Steam
Navigation Company, &c. The capital required is
£2,000,000, which is divided into 20,000 shares of
£lOO each. The board of direction is respectably
and influentially constituted, and the project is
recommended by about sixty London firms, includ-
ing Messrs. Rothschild, Peabody, Rodocanachi, &c.
The shares are now 41 to 51 prem.
