: for a steam communication between Europe
and America, oy way Of London, Valentia,
| IFclaUN, iltlitaht anu 1NCW- Ork, VIII DC
; carried into effect early III the next season.
rhe distance from Vaentia, the most west
eriy port IN Europe, to Halifax is about 24oo
miles From London to Valcnta, by way
OF Bristol and Cork, is ABOUT 450 miles, by
way OF Liverpool and Dublin 42o, and by
he British channel 700. From Halifax to
Boston is 440 miles, and to New York $50.
The course from Halifax to New York,
through Boston, is almost in right line, and
is something nearer than the most direct
course b.; water. 1t is computed that the
passage by steam navigation from Valentia
to Halifax will not exceed IA days, and ii
viii probably be accomplished in shorter
ti,nc; from London to Valentia, by way OF
l,rlstol, a little more than days; from Hal
flax to New York in days; and from Hall
fax to Boston Ill 3 days; making for the
whole passage OF $500 miles from Lon
don to Boston, IL days at most, and tor ta-
voarable passages, 16 days The passage
to New York being 210 miles longer Will
require day more.
