 Mrssrs EIIen q Co. of Montreal, propose to r1n . line of lrst class steameas during the summer mpuths between Liserpool and Quebec, provided that the government of Canada will supply . bonus of $34. poo year. The Mon treal Board of Trade reccommends, that advan- ta&c be taken of this route to secure the speedy transmission of news between the two conti- nents. by establishing line of telegraphic communication between Quebec and Forteau Bay, point on tbe shore of the Straits of Bel lisie, come seven hundred miles east of Quebec. The Toronto Leader says:
 1t is distant from Liverpool only 1878 sni2es, while from Liverpool to Halifax the dis tance is 2, 465 miles 50 that by the Canadian route there would be effected q saving of 600 miles to the point where the news from Eug- land coxld be telegraphed over the continent. Itis manifest, therefore, that no other point presents the same advantages for the early trans mission ofnews as that which Mir. Young wishes to connect with Quebec by telegraph. For fcau Bay is I22 miles nearer Liverpool than Cape Race is Newfoundland, and compared with New York-which is reached by the best Collins boat in ten days-it shortens the dis tance between the two continents no less than 1.132 Kiies. or about four days sailing SO fksk . first class boat can with ease make the voyage from Liverpool to Canadian Lands Esd-the telegraphic terminus proposed by Mir. Yoang-ia six days"
