he following remarks in
the Round Table on the importance of choosing a good
and comfortable vessel :—" Great numbers of our country-
men, although perhaps not in such numbers as have been
anticipated, will for some months to come be crossing the
sea, and many will now cross it for the first time. It be-
comes a matter of great importance, both as respects pure
comfort and as bearing upon first impressions, to select
desirable means of transit. Many of the Atlantic steamships
are old, dirty, and by no means quite safe. The desire to
make hay while the sun shines will induce some of the
companies to overcrowd their vessels and to take the risk
of future unpopularity for the sake of present gain. Some
which have established reputations will be, as they have
been, indifferent to the comfort of their passengers, who,
they think, should be satisfied with any and everything
for the eclat of travelling by their famous lines. Sensible
people should, however, remember that it is not always
the company which is oldest or most celebrated which will
take most pains to please. On the contrary, those which
have reputations to make, will generally in this respect bo
most depended on. Tho now French line is highly spoken
of by those who have travelled in its vessels, and the
Cunarders are losing, of late, a groat deal of the prestige
which long years of safety and swiftness so worthily
gained. The National Company is a rising one and has
some very fine ships. The only American line is, we be-
lieve, that which has been established by the combination
of the New York Mail Steamship Company with that
known as the New York and Havre. Their fleet includes
some noble vessels, and the high reputation of Mr.
C. K. Garrison as a shipowner and capitalist is a
guarantee of efficient management and faithful per-
formance of whatever sails under his auspices. The two
German lines, the New York and Bremen and the North
German Lloyds, stand well in public esteem and will be
largely patronised by special classes. For good ships,
good faro, cleanly service, and punctuality we can con-
scientiously recommend the Inman line, having made most
comfortable and satisfactory passages by their steamships.
These enumerated lines constitute the best and safest ones
for selection, since the scratch ships put up for the occa-
sion will be, as a rule, wisely avoided. Passengers should
remember that an ocean steamer is not a hotel, and cannot
conveniently be changed on being found slow, dirty, or
otherwise uncomfortable. Once at sea they are fixed and
without remedy for the whole width of the Atlantic ; and
it is, therefore, judicious to make a cautious selection, and,
if possible, personally to examine proposed accommoda-
Lions, before committing health, life, and property to their
keeping. Old travellers do not require such advice, but to
the thousands of young ones who go abroad for the first
time it will not be found superfluous or untimely. For
the interest of such we shall recur to the subject again."
GOVERNMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES.
The Postmaster has issued an account which shows that
from the commencement of business on the 17th April,
1865, to the 31st December, 1866, the sums received on ac-
count of Government annuity and insurance contracts
amounted to £83,938 13s. Ild. Of this, £74,963 15s. was
paid to the National Debt Commissioners for investment,
£3,607 2s. 3d. in respect of 312 annuities, and £3,813 1 ts. Bd.
to the Commissioners on account of preniiunis received on
contracts for sums payable at death. The amount paid
for charges of management was £2,477 14s. 6d
