Considering that we are constantly told
that ocean steam navigation does not pay,
people seem 10 have wonderfully self-5a-
orifcing spirit in going into it. Not less
th9n ten millions of dollars are invested in
steamships plying between this port and Eu-
rope, and the chief part of that sum has been
subscribed by foreign enterprise. The Amer.
lean ships make a small show in the list, and
almost the only comfort We have is found in
the fact that they are very good.-N. +.
