The great irregularity of these vessels, and tie
certainty attendant their val and departure from
the ports designated IN the schedule adopted
by the company, are subjects of much COMPLAINT aud
they therefore, far the United States Is con-
cerned Of little or advantage, either in bringing
later advices from Europe IN the conveyance opas-
sengers. 1t has been Very apparent to those who
have given lhe subject considerations that different
arran cement might be adopted which would greatly
facilitate the more speedy transmission of Intelligence
and by cnsurlng greater certainty in the arrivals and
departures induce passengers select these vessels
conyeyanccs thcteby creating income to the com
pany, from what under the present system must be a
ruinous enterprise
With the view of accomplishing this object, we are
pleased to learn hi Her Bri,aunic Majrstys Consul
in this city has made entire new schedule of the
routes, which 1t is his Intention transmit to Eng
land recommending its adop ion--and 1t 1t be acted
on there can hardly be doubt Of lis
We have been politely favored with look at the
tabular statements fMr. OG BY and perceive that he
recommends that the fist css, Of steamers shall
leave Southampton for Nassau the LIST and 18th OF
each MONTH and from Nassau for Sou hainlton al the
same hour, and on the same days-thus abandoning
the route pursued which makes Barbados the
central point From Nassau IL is proposed that three
branch steamer lines Shall take the various mail. and
passengers charge for the respective points included
the schedule.
The steamer or the United States to come direct
to Charleston to be of 1000 tons burden and not to
draw with tlll supply OF Goals on board more than
twelve feet water. This would make the time from
England twenty days aud half, and twenty-four
days to New York, the mails being taken by the
gar land route. 1t noted that Goals could be pro-
vded here at a less rate than at Nassau, as British
vessels coming here for Rice and Cotton, would bring
Goals at low rate Of freight. This boat would
again leave for Nassau, in time for the English
steamer
The second branch line would consist of boats of
1900 tons, drawing 10 feet water, and would leave,
after the arrival Of the English mail for Havana,
New Orleans, Tampico andy Vera Cruz, returning by
the route, to Nassau, in time for the packet for
England.
The third branch would be from Nassau TO Turks
Island, Cape Nichola, ST Jago and Kingston, and
return to Nassau. AT Turks Island all the mails
for the Wndward Island District, to be handed over
to steamer in waiting and on the return, the mails
from that District for England would be taken on
board 'Fhe steamer engaged in the serpice among
the Islands, to be Of such dimensions and draught oil
water to enable them TO enter any Of the harbors
Should this schedule be adopted by the Company
the Cunard Halifax Line could be suspended during
the winter months, period when there is much more
dang r, and more wear and ar Of machinery by the
Northern passage than by the Southern, and sea-
son when il would be much more pleasant for pas
songers, both in coming from and going to Europe &c
axe the West India line
