An experiment in steam navigation on a grand scale
is about to be made under the direction and at the sole expense
of the East India Company. Two vessels of the largest class
have been for some time preparing, and are now nearly com-
pleted, with which it is intended, at intervals of about a month
each, that the voyage to Bengal shall be made by the
Cape of Good Hope. The steam engines of each vessel
will be of two hundred horse power. Arrangements have
been made for providing a supply of coals at stated places:
for which 3,000 tons have been ordered, and they are
said to be so well chosen as to allow the power of steam to be
kept up with very little intermission during the whole distance._
To what use these vessels are to be put at the termination of
the voyage does not appear to be yet fully settled, but th!
great feature of this grand experiment is the lead taken in
by the East India Company, who have shown all along a°
unaccountable reluctance in giving any assistance to the ins'
provement of the communications with India. The contrary
stpirit now manifested must lead ultimately to very important
results.
