Since the loss Of the Ago the Companys fleet has been
reduced to three steamers, viz
The Prince Albert ,97S tons
Inc Jason 'ooS tons
which are found sufficient for The carrying on Of the pre-
sent monthly service These ships are all of the first
class and are in every respect suited for the trade but as
tbs popularity OF tho service continues to increase, aud
with an extended business, must be provided for
BY additional ships Of greater power and tonnage and Of
improved construction Such ships are those already
alluded TO, nov building.
The Company's headquarters are in London, I'M
der the management Of Mr.. A. NJ. Wier, gentleman
OF great experience In steam shipping matters. The
london Board Of Directors meet regularly Tor the ransac
ton OF the affairs of the company and lately branch
Board has been formed at Dublin composed Of some of
the first men in Ireland amongst whom the Lord Mayor
OF Dublin who represent the Irish interests. The Com
pany are fortunate in beng well represented IN the
United states by Mr. Alexander Holland OF he American
Express Company
The able work written by Mr. Piny Mills ON the sAd
vanages Of steam communication between England and
Ireland has been Of neslmable advantage " the latter
country and has been productive OF no little good to tho
Company this work has already passed through several
editions. and 1t has been published both London and
New York II Is in the Galway line, as Il has been in all
other great steamship enterprises until the arrangements
thoroughly perfected which s generally only ques

The loss OF the Pomona and more recently that OF tho
Royal Charter in the Channel, when her desuna
on have opened the eyes Of the public to the dangers Of
the British Channel navigation, showing the necessity
for the establishment of packet station which
shall always be accessible and free from danger
in the approach. Such is Galway, which the
common Of the travelling public will not
be slow in discerning. The importance Of such port
has been already shown by the fact that the Liverpool
Screw Packet Company have made Queenstown (CorS)
port of call for their steamers well as the Boston ships
Of the Cupard Company.
For the Increased facilities thus offered to the travelling
public, by these two lines touching at Queenstown, the
Galway line has certainly to be thanked for if they had
not made Galway the termni on the European sde most
assuredly neither the Liverpool Screw Company Gu
nards would have thought Of touching Queens
town. To show the importance of the European mails
being shipped at Queenstown it is only necessary to
ton that letters for the United States be posted
in London and Paris day later than when sent via
Liverpool
The Crcassan, which will be followed from Galway by
the Prince Albert the early part Of December is pretty
full of passengers amongst whom Dudley Persse and
family of your city, DIR. Martin, of the survivors
the Royal Charter: and Mr. Fnnee, who comes over
special mission, route 10 Panama.
