Ocean steam Navigation-AtlanticM Mail
Steamers.

We yesterday published an article which we
deemed necessary in the present position of the
ocean steam packet service, and which we are
glad to find has attracted the attention the subject
deserved. We intend TO follow it up, until the at
tention of the whole Union is fastened upon il,
and something done to prevent the United States
from occupying even secondary position, in re-
gard to a steam marine, TO any other nation in
the world.
The article we gave in yesterdays Herald has
drawn out the following communication from
gentleman of this city, who has always had the
interest of this country at heart, and who proba-
bly, understands the subject of steam navigation
better-at any rate as well-as any other person.
This communication we annex
Permit the writer to reply to the enquiries in your
paper of yesterday, respecting ocean steamers
You ask will the people OF this country longer per-
NIT the people of Great Britain TO fortunes their
expense1" They must, until government take efficient
his money line of between this and Great
Britain compete with the two Cunard lines which wi
carrying the mails And is known that nearly if not
the whole Of that sum will be reimbursed to the govern
ment from postage.
The Postmaster General, early as April ls45 was
forewarned, that If government did not establish
line Of mail steamers to Liverpool the Cunard line
would be duplicated and the steam carrying trade be-
tween England and America endered to the British
flag and 81 900 900 American dollars taken annual
ly to keep in commission steamers (see Sir Robert
Peels speech the Cunard conract for greatest
maritime rival When remonstrances made to tho
Postmaster General against selecting Bremen the
minus, his reply was, that "t administration
sure and also that the British minister had desired that
the terminus for steamers should not be in Eng
land"
You complain that sufficient American capital does not
offer to build the Bremen line; the want Of confidence
in the route the cause this the Postmaster General
appraised would be the The lack of American
capital will in part be supplied If the reports true,
that the Prussian Government, and the city of Bremen
have agreed to advance sufficient money to finish the
building Of the second steamer should not the law under
which this line is about to be established (which requires
that the mail steamer must be owned wholly by Anne
rican citizens), prevent it.
The drain Of $500 600 to sa5OOOO per annum from the
Treasury to mail steamers to Bremen of but little
consequence to the natonn comparison the total

mail steamer law, which passed for the purpose of
building up steam navy with but little, If any, to
