OF ain, snG Dublin, Cork, Waterford, or Ga~ay.
here are live men, women and children 10 one
direction. and grain 10 the otoer. The men, women
ard ckiloren, on sailing vessels, corfned u iA'Ven'i-
lated emigrart ships living on scanty fare, and coz
aennsd to q voyage Of seldom lees than month,
and ofsn sixty or seventy days meet sickness SUI
ierire hardship, aud often death itself, while Tor
one or two pounds stersng more, they can come IN
eight ten, or twelve days, in roomy, comfortable
steamer. Grain particularly Indian corn, in long
voyage, In sailing vessel often heats and spols.
Tier. lcokips at tfe large number Of American,
EreEsh and Irsh ladies' ard gentlemen who cross
the Atlantic aud who would be glad 70 see some
ting Of tts "Green Isle OF the Ocean" Is there
doubt ,hs. good line Of steamers, well managed,
will Get large amount Of patronage Every
Irshm,p, in the old country IS well az nere,
hus. be impeled by interest, both in his native
lard and in his countrJmen, 10 use his
il fuepce in sending freight and passengers BY this
lire. We understand that NJ. John Orrell Lever
al bis associates tie projectors OF this line, are
EDs,h gentlemen Of large capital, perseverance,
and ereIgy, and acquainted with the business OF
rprnioe ocesn steamships. The number OF steamers
vii be from FIVE to seven, and the vessels pur-
chased ard promised for tie line are padde-wheel
.tesme,s OF the frat class. The Indian Empire,
which ar,ived here from Galway on the 9TH Of
July. ard which returns on Frdsy the 23d, had
The Misfortune to break piston, and IL this GRIP
pied condition made from seven to ten knots an
hour. The time in which this vessel is expected
TO run from New.York TO Galway is ten days to len
aid half. Ii. lot one Of the swiftest steamers
slost-thoUgb il has crossed the Atlantic in eleven
d,ys AID u haf-but the next ship, toe American
Empire, which is advertised to leave Galway on
the 9th inst said to be one of the fastest eam-
ers e5er launched. She has run little over two
years ard, on f. yo?age to the Cape Of Good Hope,
made from II 70 10 knots sn hour. The owners
are wiling TO rest their reputation for sagacty aud
good Management on the performance OF this
s'esner, and the Indian Empire is described as one
of the staurchest and mo.t seaworthy vessAs ever
rup, With splendid 2air Of engines.
We believe mail contract is anticipated (and as
good as obtained alIeady) by Mr.. Lever and bis
associates 1t is undecided, as yet, whether all, or
Only part, of the steamers of this line shall come
to New.York. Philadelphia, Boston, and Portland,
are already competing for the honor and profit OF
bayirg portion Of these steamships. New-York
certainly possesses the first advantages for asteam-
ship line to Ireland, and we hear that it is the III
tsntion TO have a weekly line from Galway, one
hslf-or fortDigbtly seIvice-only, to New York,
and the balance probably TO Boston or Portland, or
divided between the two. Portland occupies po-
,itiOn here somewhat akin to that Of Southampton
in England. Southampton fifteen years ago was
fourth rate town. but by its unrivaed position, 1t
las Low the largest number of sea-going steamers
of any port il the world. The "P. and O." (Penn-
sular and OreutaD have a fleet of nearly fifty
stesmers; the Royal Mail, having the West India
tI5fic-these, with the Vanderbilt and the Ham,
burg ard Bremen Ines make up over one hundred
steamships that run constantly to this one port.
PoItaI d, at the foot Of the Grand Trunk Railway,
ia .be most eligible locality for landing passengers
| for all parts of Canada. Like Southampton, it
hss not large trade Of itself but il is point
through which there must flow extensive traffic,
particularly in en- grants and goods for Canada.
Though blanks, Is well as prizes, have been
drawn in ocean steam commerce, we do not be-
leye one single company has come to dis
astrous telriinston, whose i.fOltune could not
be traced, 70 great extent, to bad management.
Steam commerce between America and Europe is
the creation of the last twenty years. In the early
stages Of all great enterprises, projects and inven-
tiors there are more OF less unsuccessful candi-
dates. But those who come second, or fourth, or
sixth in tt race can, if they WILL profit by the ex-
perence, tke successes and the failures, of their
predecessors and contemporaries. Mr.. Lever will
find that his success in bis grea. undertaking will
depend largely on his selection of proper agents
and servants to carry on his business; in other
words, on coed or i'll management 1t is very
easy, because certain parties have failed 10 make
money in Atlantic steamship commerce, to say that
others run great hazards in the undertaking. Money
expended in any enterprise before SUCCESS is Oh.
TAXED, canrot be considered as lost but an invest
ment to build up business 1t will be borne in
mind that up to le48-ten years ago, when the
keel Of Mr.. COllinss irst ship was laid-there had
never been Ten Thousand Americans abroad dur.
ing any one year. Since 1850 there has never been
less than Thirty Thousand American travellers
crossing the Atlantic, and now the number is al
mo.t Sixty Thousand AL the good steamers,
during the Spring and Summer months, have their
bsrtis all taken some days before the time Of sail
rg, and We heartily wish complete success to
the Galway and New.Y York line Of steamships.
