that the contractors had no large class steam-
t Southampton, to proceed with its pas-
he Ist for Falmouth, there to

evening o

nd go at once to sea. As if to give the
appearance of implementing their contract, however, they
despatched from the former place on the 6th, and froth the
latter place on the 9th, the smaller class steamer, City of
Glasgow, long known to many on the route from the river
Clyde to Liverpool; and which vessel, according to their
own calculation of 194 days, will not.reach St. Thomas till
six days too late for the further immediate forwarding of the
mails and passengers.
" It would have been more manly and more straight-
forward, to have openly declared to the public, that as the
Atlantic outward steamer had not started at her appointed
time, British merchants and others ought to be on their
guard, that their halt-monthly letters of the 15th of Decem-
ber, and, in

some cases, their monthly ones of the Ist of
January, would reach their destination as quickly as those

had better be retained till the Ist of

ro explain,—it is necessary to remember, that by the

new contract, the Atlantic outward-bound steamer should
depart on the 3rd Ad lith of every mouth from Falmouth ;
and if any one of these ' does not reach St. Thomas before
midnight on ,the 22nd day from the appointed day of depar-
ture from Falmouth, the four collected steamers at SL
Thomas proceed, with the inter-colonial mails, on their
respective routes ; the outer-mails, in such case, being con-
raiis,,io remain after their arrival: et St.
-mails from Europe arrive and are

branch steamer for Jamaica, Havannah, &c. ; the Western
minor branch steamer for Porto, Rico, Hayti,- ; the
Southern branch steamer for Antigua, I.3arbadOes,•Demerara,
&c. ; and the Northern branch steamer for Bermuda, must
