There is something more than daily ferry
now between Europe and America. In fact. the
rate il something like steamer for every twelve
hours from the port Of Liverpool alone. During
the month Of May, ffty-three steamships left the
Mercy, Of which thirty-four came to New York.
eight to Boston, eight to Quebec znd Montreal.
and three to Halifax, Norfolk and Baltimore
Seventeen Of these belong to the Cunard Compa-
pAny, eleven to the Inm&n, Eve to tie Nationxl.
five to the White Star, ten to the Allsn, and Six
to the GiOn Company, respectively. When to
these are added the ship, of the French and Ger
min lines, we get some idea of the prodigious
increase Of late in ste,m communication between
the continents. More than $4,000 persons were
brought to America from Liverpool alone during
Msy-sn increase Of nearly five thousand over
the number for May 1871, and total increase
since January, over the corresponding period
last year, Of eighteen thousand. These figures
are full of significance with reference to the fu-
ture Of the Republic.
