A NEW ESTATE LlNE,' s'rEAmsHII

As an evidence of the prosperity of the ''stale Line" of transatlantic steamships, We may mention the rapidity with which rhis fleet Ot steamships belonglng to ihe company is being augmented. The latest addition to these, the StGte of Venodn, re
 gently arrived in this port on her first out ward trip. after prosperous voyage of a little more than ten days, and sailed on the voyage home on Wednefda of last week. The State cf NeoadG is a beautifully mod elled vessel, brigantine-rigged, and is from the yard of the London and Glasgow Ship building and Engineering Company at Go- van. Her dimensions are as follows :- length $50 feet, breadth 36 feet, depth of hold 28 feet, gross carrying capacity 250O tons, and measurement tonnage 3l44 tons. She has accommodation for $50 steerage, g intermediate, and 30 saloon passengers. It has & comfortable, elegantly furnished smoking room which stronghold of the gentlemen passengers, has it's counterpart in ladies' waiting room, luxuriously fur nished and fitted np in biIds-eye maple, rosewood and mahogany. The central part of this room Is the dome or skylight of the main saloon, round which the seats are arranged. Passing below, we come to the main saloon, which is, as usual, the great feature of the vessel, and the one where most care and expense are lavish, d. It takes up the full breadth of the ship and is almost 40 feet in length. The customs and seats are covered with velvet, and everything possible has been done to make the saloon not only comfortable but luxu. rious and attractive. The woodwork is in maple, mahogany and rosewood. 4 piano stands at one end, and helps greatly to create the illusion that the room is not saloon in an ocean-going steamer. but the saloon of mansion on shore.
 The vessel is steered by steam, and the machinery in the wheel-house, which is in telegraphlc communication with the bridge, has all the latest improvements for obvi ating the risk of disarrangement of the gearing In heavy weather. In the event of any such accident the hand-wbeel can be reaorted to. ..-..
