New STEAMER LINEs.-A great enterprise is on
foot in London for line of steamships to Australia
and New Zealand, via New York and Panama
The plan is mostly completed, and the line will
soon be in operation. The London, New York and
Panama papers are dilating on the magnificence of
the scheme and the great advantages that will
acrue from it to their several localities. The stock
of the Papama Railroad has risen in New York to
thirty or forty per cent. premium, in view of the
contemplated increase of its business, and renewed
efforts are to be put forth to conclude it soon as
possible.
The discovery of gold in Australia is the great
cause of the immediate commencement Of this en-
terprise though it has long been contemplated, and
must have been put in operation sooner or later
So far as it hastens the completion of the means OF
transit the Isthmus, this enterprise will be
of direct advantage to But we are confident
the ultimate, collateral advantage, will be greater
STILL The general increase of business in the Pa
cic resulting from greater facilities of transit, and
the large accession to business and population at
Panama that will almost inevitably result from this
arrangement, must have reflex influence upon US
in the increase of our in all It's branches
But, above all, we trust the example OF the bntisn
Government and the London merchants Will arouse
our merchants and our own government to the TOO
long neglected subjects of lines OF steamers to the
Sandwich Islands and China. If we have not such
line very soon. the English will soon start one
from Panama. to connect with the rest of their net
work of steamer lines, which will soon completely
encrcle the globe in every direction. 1t has been
boastingly said tina. the British drum beats the re
veilIe during every hour of the day; and it may
now be said that the sun always shines upon the
steamers of some of her various ocean lines. Let

one feature that is entirely in modern warfare. viz
that both the yicors and the vanqushed from each
