The Mastery of the Seas ocean Steam

The race which is now going on be-
tween the Cunard and Collins lines ofsteam-
ships, from New York to Liverpool, is crea-
ting some noise among the transatlantic and
American papers. The London Morning
News, In an article upon the snbject admits
that the Pacific, one of the Collins steam
ers, has made the quickest time across the
Atlantic, and saysit is high time the Eng
lish government looked into the state of Its
Oceanic steam communication. Some tel
years back, the British government granted
contract to Mr.. Samuel Cunard, for the
conveyance by steam vessels her Majesty's
mails, between Liverpool, Halifax and Bos.
ton, which in 1916 was renewed from the
LIST of January lS4S, with the privilege oi
omitting Halifax in the Route, and making
the voyage direct from Liverpool to New
York, which was done in expectation ofthe
~ American competitor that has since
arisen. Thus, the Cunard line has had ten
years practice. In l84l Mr.. E. X. Collins,
in behalf of himself and associates proposed
to the Post Master General, Mr.. Granger,
to construct four ocean steamers, of more
than two hundred tons burthen, to ply be-
tween Liverpool and New York, which in
! case of war were TO be delivered to the Gov
eminent as war steamers, provided Mr.. G.
would recommend TO Congress the passage
Of law authorizing the Post Master at N.
York to collect the postage for the owners.
But this proposition, from some cause, was
not accepted, and, until last year, the Brit
ish steamers have monopolized the trade, and
have been mainly supported by American
commerce. In lS48 contract was granted
Collins & Co. by our Government, and their
first vessels, the Atlantic and Pacific, made
their appearace, some months since. Ten
years experience which John Bull has had
in running ocean steamers, however, has not
prevented Jonathan from beating him with
but few months experience; and we agree
with the London News that "the voyages Of
the Atlantic and Pacific, look like the "hand
writing on the wall."' The Arctic and Bal
tic, two more of the American steamers will
make their appearance next spring.
