STEA3I COMLIONIC:a10:1 A.:;;; AY AND
AMERICA —The Government merits much credit for the
prompt attention to that most important European en-
terprise, the Atlantic Steam Navigation Company 1)3.
tween Gal say and America, as it appears the Postmaster
General has given orders that a vessel is to leave Gal-
way on Friday, the 181) inst., so that letters posted in
London before three o'clock on Thursday, the 17th
inst., marked " via Galway, for America,' will go by
the steam-ship Indian &noire, which is to be the pio-
neer of the new line. This in many respects is acknow-
ledged as an important step in the right direction, being
a saving of two days, and avoiding the dangers of
Channel navigation, arid, consequently, a reduction of
rates of insurance and m )re safety to life—witness the
Tayleur and Great Britain, which were both loot in the
Channel ; and, what is very important to the public,
a low rate of fares and freights is to be adopted,
in addition to the advantages of a direct and more
expeditious route. This line will no doubt become
3f imperial and military importance, because by hay-
ing spare steamers lying in Galway Bay,' which is
large enough to anchor the fleets of the whole worl I, we
should be enabled to assemble within four hours and
dispatch 2,000 or 3,000 troops eiater to America or any
part of the globe. This project, if skilfully and ener-
getically conducted, must eventually become the mail
rotes, for tar.) Continent and the English mails, as the
saving of time thereby will bo most important.
