WEST INDIA STEAM-PACKETS.--We believe we may with
confidence announce to the public that the grand desideratum
of steam conveyance between England and these colonies,
is now not only determined upon by government, but that
all the arrangements connected with it are complete. We
have seen a letter which arrived by the last mails, stating
that the writer had just had a personal interview with Mr..
Mc Queen, who assured him that the plan was so far ma-
tured, that government only awaited the completion of the
steamers which were building, to carry it at once into effect.
The writer adds that government have also decided upon-
making this island not only the packet station, but the ren-
dezvous for the other steam-boats which are to convey the
mails to the different islands. The company started at Li-
verpool, some time ago, in connection with the Glasgow As'
sociation for promoting the same object, is also proceeding'
with their plans, and many influential houses have already
taken shares in the speculation. We observe that the exPe4'
riment made with bur pitch on hoard her Majesty's *earner
Pluto, has attracted attention at home, 'and we have no doubt
that government will pursue an experiment in England. We
hope that in doing so they will be able to procure' the sort
'which has latterly been found so verb superior fat Ando*
