From the London News, Oct. 20
A very useful project is being brought out under
the designation of the " London Liverpool, and
North American Screw Steamship Company" The
object of the company is TO establish economic
expeditions, and direct steam commune alton for
goods ano passengers, between London, Lverp the
United States and the British North American DO
mics The steamers will leave London and Liverpool al
ternatey Tor New ork throughout the years for Cam
ada and n newfoundland, from March to October; and
during the remainder of the year. in order that the
communication with Canada may not be wholly in.or
rupted, they will call at Portland, in the State Of
Maine, between which port and Quebec and Mont
real railway is now in course Of construction.
During the season it is contemplated that the conf
panys steamers shall run straight up to Quebec or
Montreal, where they will be in communication
with steamers plying to Lakes Ontario, Erie,
Huron, Michigan, and touching ut all the ports on
the route When the line is established it will pro-
baby cause great diversion Of the Lake produce,
which now passes in great measure through the
United States to the Atlantic sea- board The Island
Of Newfoundland, go long deprived of the advan
tages of steam communication will also be included
in the route OF the oompanys Steamers, and IL Is
therefore probable the association will secure tho
bounty offered by the colonial / sislature. The
company is ut present Professionally registered, un
der the Joint Stock Companies act. but charter
has been applied for, and viii in all probability be
readily secured, until which time only deposit of
Is per share is to be payable The capital is fixed
at f6C0 600, in EGO shares, and the committee in
clvoes some Of our most influential firms connected
with both branches Of our North American trade.
