Thus it will be seen that the tonnage employed
in the direct foreign trade between Europe and
the waters of James River, for the year ending
1st July, 1851, amounted to nearly 10000 tons
AN amount abundanty sufficient to give active
and lucrative employment to two steamers of
1900 tons burthen each. But this is not all.
Owing to the want of line OF vessels to James
River, the larger portion of the Importers Of this
city forced to order their goods to be shipped
from Europe to New York. whence they are trans
shipped to Richmond The agricultural product.
of the State, too, suffer heavy costs and charges
for the want of direct line of communication
with Europe. Tobacco, wheat, corn, flour, &c.
destined for foreign markets, not unfrequently
find their way to the Northern ports for shipment
to Europe.
So confident ofthe entire practicability of the
plan of establishing steam line of communities
ton between the waters of James River and the
continent of Europe, is distinguished Captain,
now in the merchant service of a sister State,
although Virginian by birth,) that we are au-
thorized to say he holds himself not only ready to
invest $4,000 in the first steamer, but to super
intend her construction and take command fher
when completed Surely this fact is deserving
of weight in the estimation of the mercantile
community and the good and patriotic example
thus set, ought to stimulate our merchants to
make effort at least to throw off the yassalape
they now endure
