The Route proposed, namely, the direct line connecting
England with Australia. and crossing the Isthmus of Panama,
may be considered as divided into three sta:res—the Atlantic
Passage,—the transit across the Isthmus,—and the Pacific

currents, may indisputably be describes! as presenting the
most unobjectionable navigation in the World.

practical experience of Captains A. S. HAMON D, R.N., ana, J. COCH nk NE HOSEA SON, R.N., who for several years have
held Command of Steam ships on the Pacific, New Zealand,

the soundness has been fully confirrntd by recent results,

The speed and regularity with which paddle-wheel steamer
on the Cunard and Collins' lines, hare performed their
sages across the turbulent seas of the North Atlantic, having
established a conviction that this mode of propulsion is best
calculated for long voyages at high velocity, it is proposed tar
employ paddle-wheel Steamers of about 3,000 tons, with com-
mensurate engine-power, combining all well established im—
provements, in reverence to machinery, uniformity of size;,
proportions, and cabin accommodation. _

The vessels will proceed at stated periods from Milford.-
