lomplain of the colour therein
Mr. Fox, that provision was
made in the charter for running the company's ships from
ports in Ireland, and " the connection of Liverpool with
, the scheme as shadowy and delusive," and as got up in
porter London in opposition to the commerce and navigation of

Liverpool.
I stated in my last letter, and I now reiterate, that that
company are bound, in adpition to any service they may
perform from London, &c., to run a screw-steamer once
every fortnightfrorn Liverpool during the summer months,
and once a month from Liverpool during the winter
; and these vessels are not allowed, under the
Lt, to call at any port in Ireland, and the contrac-
ive no option whateuer of altering the terms of their
contract. How the establisbment. therefore, of t' '
can prejudice Liverpool, or be said to' • " •

to judge.
I conclude by quoting the following eau,.
London Times, City Article of to-day :
" To shut out a new steam company from the Atlan,
by refusing a charter, lest it should by that means retail.
private enterprise, when only a few mouths back the vir-
tual monopoly of the steam traffic on one part of that
ocean was handed over for eleven years to the Royal Mail
Company by a grant of £270,000 per annum (making an
ultimate total of £3,000,000 of the public money,) and of
another part to the Cunard Company by a grant of
£186,000 per annum, would show a degree of inconsistency
sly creditable in a commercial community.
this country to refuse such a privilege, when it is
demanded in order to enable new bodies to compete, on
behalf qf the public with pre-existing companies, endowed
with enormous bounties, and mostly also themselve.
possession of charters, is simply to increase the stref
such monopolies by saying that they shall be lit'
competition except from individuals, in whos
idea of direct competition is, for the most r
terous."
