The object of this company is to
shorten by about two-t thirds the time
Of passage to and from America TO
England. and all parts OF Europe. 1t
is well known that the part of the voy-
age acrossthe Atlantic from America to
Europe, is an open free navigation Of
the sea as far as to the Irish coast, and
that aflerwardsthe up the English
or Irish Channels, or through the Bay OF
Biscay TO European ports farther east
than Ireland, is the portion which is
most dangerous and difficult and there-
fore, causing detention and grea,
outlay of insurance.
The western coast of Ireland, there.
fore, with its fine harbors, is naturally
pointed out as by far the nearest and
safest medium of intercourse between
America and Europe. Galwayis one
of the ports on the west coast Of Ire
land which offers amirabe advantages.
From thence it is proposed to make a
rail road direct to Dublin, and from
thence to cross the Irish Channel 10

in Wales by steamers, as is now per-
formed. The outward voyage by
steamers, from Galway to America,
would it is reasonably calculated, moi
consume over IA days and return voy-
age 1o.-These short periods would
allow sufficient stowage of fuel for the
voyage. From Galway to Dublin
would require three and a half hours,
and from Dublin TO London twenty-
four hours more. Three days more
take you to Paris, Brussels, Amster-
dam and Hamburg.-M Y. Star.
