Comparative Statement Of the Number
Of Passengers This and Last Year.

| From the New York Evening Post.l
The number of persons who leave this
/ port fer Europe on business or pleasure
increases with every year. Inquiry
made to-day at the offices of the various
steamship lines showed that the tide of
| travel toward Europe this season has
| thus far suffered no abatement, and that
on most routes it will continue until
autumn. The steamship Calabria. of
/ the Cunard line, to-day tOOb out one
hundred and seventeen cabin and one
/ hundred and fifteen steerage passengers.
| The steamer of corresponding date last
year conveyed eighty cabin passengers
and siXty-one steerage. During the last
six weeks one thousand eight hundred
and ninety one cabin passengers and
seven hundred and eighty-seven steer
age have sailed by this line, against one
thousand seven hundred and seventy-six
cabin passengers and four hundred and
seventy seven steerage in the CORES
ponding six weeks Of 1872. More would
have been carried this season had not
one trip been made by the Samaria,
which had accommodations for but
sixty passengers. If her capacity
had been sufficient it is thought
that she would have taken a
OuElUGSS
line is constantly increasing, the total
number OF cabin passengers conveyed
from this port last year being nearly
One-sixth In excess Of the year previous.
These figures were taken from the books
OF the company, and are exactly correct.
The Castalia, Of the Anchor line, sailed
to-day with eighty-six cabin passengers
and one hundred and twenty steerage.
~
gers left by this line last week, the Vic
toria alone taking out one hundred and
sixty. The exact figures could not be
obtained, but it was estimated that
about twelve hundred cabin passengers
and three thousand steerage had sailed
from this port in the Anchor steamships
during the last six weeks, or about a
third more than in the corresponding
period of 1872. In the steamers to sail
in the next four weeks nearly every
berth has been taken, and in some
instances outward passage has been
engaged as late as the month ofI
September. In most weeks three
steamers have sailed. The Inman line
in the last six weeks has taken from
this port one thousand one hundred and |
twenty-three cabin and one thousand
three hundred and nine steerage passen- |
gers, against one thousand one hundred |
and nineteen cabin and one thousand |
four hundred and sixty-three steerage, |
in the corresponding six weeks last |
year. The City of Antwerp to-day car
ried seventy cabin and one hundred and |
forty steerage passengers. A year ago
the corresponding steamer TOOK out one /
hundred and thirty-seven cabin and one /
hundred and eighty steerage passengers. |
1t is said that the vessels of this COM 4
pany are also carrying all the passengers
who can be accommodated. The Adri- |
attic, of the White Star line, to-day
sailed with one hundred and twenty
saloon passengers and about two hun
1red steerage. In the last six weeks
about six hundred saloon passengers and
between eight and nine hundred steer
age passengers have been taken. More
would have been carried had not one
steamer been missed, none sail
ng on the twenty-frst of June. Last
year, in the corresponding period, seven
hundred and fifty n-passengersI
we're taken, while the number of steer
.ge passengers was about the same as
his. The loss of the Atlantic is said to
rave had no pereeptible effect on the /:
lumber Of applications for passage. On
he National line the steamship Spain S
allied to-day with eighty-tive cabin pas
engers, and the steamship Denmark
With twenty, the two vessels taking
bout one hundred and fifty steerage :
together. The number Of /
abin passengers taken in the last six
weeks was four hundred and thirty-one. 9
nd in the same period a year ago, four
iundred and nfty. information in re-
ard to the number Of steerage- -passen- 6
ers conveyed was declined. In many Z
sses outward passage has been engaged Z
S late as August. The steamers Of the
hamburg g-American packet company / r
ave carried an increased number of {
assengers every year,it being necessary
his season taran several extra vessels to n
1eet the demand for passage. During

'ur cabin passengers and nine hundred
