SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY.
The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Great
Western, Captain William Clark, is appointed to sail on
Wednesday next, the 17th, with the West Indian and
Pacific mails, in charge of Lieutenant Scriven, R.N.,
Admiralty Agent.
The Great Western takes goods and passengers to
San Juan Nicaragua, and Chargres; from the latter port
they are conveyed overland to Panama, and transferred
to the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's ships, rein-
ing between Panama, Valparaiso, and the intermediate
ports. There will also be shortly established a line of
American steamers from Panama to San Francisco,
California, the first ship-of-the• line having been dis-
patched from New York in time to take up her station in
the month of January. We understand that the Great
Western will have a full number of passengers, many of
them probably proceeding, via Chargres and Panama, to
the gold regions of California. From the number
of inquiries made by letter and otherwise, at the
West India Mail Company's office in Southampton
arid London, and from a different class of persons from
those generally applying, desiring particulars of the
lowest amount of passage-money, rates of freight, &c.,
to Chargres, and as to the nature of the route thence to
California, it is quite evident that the gold fever is not
yet on the decline, and that the number of El Dorado-
seekers leaving this port will not be few. A shipowner
here has also advertised a first-class clipper barque, of
250 tons, to sail from Southampton, for San Francisco
direct, on the Ist of February, should a sufficient
number of passengers and a good freight offer by that
day. The homeward West India❑ and Mexican mails,
due on the 22d inst., will be brought by the Teviot,
Captain Rivett, or the Forth, Captain Sturdee. The
steamer Severn, Captain Vincent, which left here on
the 2d of January with the West India and Mexican
mails, will call off Mobile Point instead of Ship
Island, New Orleans, and the Gulf steamers will in
future substitute Mobile for New Orleans for the land-
ing of the mails outwards and homewards. This altera-
tion has been agreed to in consequence of the unfavour-
able navigation of the river up to the latter city. The
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's
ship Jupiter, Captain F. Meehan, with the Spanish and
Portuguese mails, will be due on the 14th, and may be
expected on Monday. The Iberia, Captain C. F. Bur-
ney, will take out the mails of the 17th to Vigo, Oporto,
Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar. The Indus, Captain J.
Soy, will leave on Saturday next, the 20th, with the East
India, China, and Mediterranean mails; the Ripon,
Captain R. Moresby, 1.N., will bring home the same
mails, due on the 25th instant. Mail steamers in dock,
West India—The Medway, the Great Western, the
Thames, and the Eagle. Peninsular and Oriental—
The Indus, the Euxine, the Iberia, the Montrose, and
the Madrid.

A return from the customs of Southampton exhibits the
satisfactory fact that, notwithstanding the general de-
pression in the commerce of the country during the year
1848, the trade of Southampton during that period has
again increased, as compared with that of the previous
year. In 1847, the number of ships entered inwards and
outwards with cargoes was 903, of 231,796 tons; and in
1848 there were 961 ships, of 260,493 tons, being an in-
crease of 58 ships and 28,697 tons. In addition to the
above, there were from and to foreign countries, with
passengers and baggage, 356 ships, of 55,028 tons. Also
a coasting trade inwards of 1,797 vessels, of 206,230
tons; outwards, 1,108 vessels, of 69,720 tons; making
the total number of vessels that entered the port and
cleared outwards to and from foreign ports, as well as
coastwise, in the year 1848, 5,125, of an aggregate tonnage
of 823,262.

THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY
AND THE STEAM-PACKET COMPANIES.
(From the Hampshire Independent.)
A great deal of excitement has been occasioned
amongst the trading interests of Southampton, by the
announcement of the intention on the part of the
Directors of the South-Western Railway Company to
raise their present uniform rate for the conveyance of
goods shipped from or landed at this port by adopting a
classified scale, the effect of which would be an increase
from 10a. to 18s. 9d. per ton ; a great proportion-2W-
these goods forming the cargoes of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's ships, being either manufactured
goods from the north or raw produce for intended con-
sumption in that distribt; the inland transit charges for
which (between Southampton and London) are now de-
frayed by the Company as part of the freight, in order
to compete with Liverpool shippers. The serious conse-
quence of such a large increase in the railway charge
must be at once apparent. The interests of the
Southampton Dock Company, the Royal Mail, the
Ocean Steam Navigation, and other companies, as con-
nected with their operatiens in Southampton, are also
seriously involved in this question. A conference, by
ofuretothhnitun that!P
directorsl r port;
arrangement, therefore took place on Friday, the sth
instant (yesterday week), between the directors of the
railway, and Colonel Barlow, on behalf of the South-
ampton Docks; Mr. Willcox, of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company; Captain Chapple, of the Royal Mail
Company; and Mr. Croskey, of the American Mail line
of s team-packets.—Colonel Barlow very ably pointed out
to the directors the incompatibility of the delays neces-
sary to arrive at a classification of goods with the ra-
pidity required by railway and steam navigation,
and that a uniform rate could alone work well.
He then suggested—without being authorised 80
to do by the other parties interested—that the
increase might be borne to the extent of 25
per cent., say 12s. 6d. instead of 10s. per ton.—Mr.
Willcox observed that it was best to speak out--that
this was not a matter of feeling, but of pounds, shillihne,
and pence—and that if the directors persisted ina

arrival—that nearly the whole of the export trade of
this country to the Brazils is now carried on at Liver-
pool.—Mr. Croskey took a large and enlightened view
of the case, with little reference to his line, except to
state that the imports from America, however large,
being mere produce, was of inconsiderable original
value—that the expenses of transit formed a large
feature in its cost to the importer and consumer, and he
cautioned the directors how they tampered with the
trade of the port of Southampton.—Mr. Chaplin, the
chairman of the South-Western Railway Company, in
reply, stated that it was with very great reluctance the
directors proposed to raise their rates for goods—that
hitherto those rates, as a mileage, had been less than any
other railway—that they had been compelled to reduce
their dividends from eight to six per cent.—and that
when he told the shareholders, in reply to a question put
to him, that the reduction would never extend to four
per cent., it was ridiculed. He then said that, taking
into consideration the observations which had been made,
he, on behalf of the South-Western Railway Company,
would offer to reduce their proposed charge of 18s. 9d.
to 13s.—The parties gave no content, and there the mat.
ter rests for the present.
