THE Intimate relations between this
country and Europe, in exports, imports
and emigration, are best illustrated in the
remarkable development of the Inman
Line, which, in 1851, the date of It's inau-
guration, numbered but two ships, yet
now, in its eighteenth year, has fleet of
sixteen hrst.Class steamers, and another
building, Every ship of the line is built
In water-tight compartments and com.
pletely equipped with all the latest and
most approved appliances for the com
fort and safety of passengers. With.
out government aid or any subsidy what
ever, this line, under the judicious man
agement of its officers, has achieved
a magnificent success, And although
by its superior facilities and quick
time il has commanded the carrying of the
L. 5. mail for the ocean postage, il has
looked mainly to legitimate business for
its remunerative rewards. The thousands
of tourists who have enjoyed the elegant
hospitallties, the polite attentions and zeal
Gus care of officers and crew on board any
of the splendid steamers of this line, need
not be told the simple secret of its popular
ity with the travelling public. Nor is the
general excellence OF this line confined to
the cabin. Within eighteen years no
less than 100000 emigrants have
been landed ON our shores in her
staunch, roomy and well appointed

the value of each emigrant brought in the
United States at 81 900. Here then is an
accession OF five hundred millions TO the
actual wealth aud industry ofthe country.
