With the view of supplying line of first class passenger steamers between the ports of New York and Glasgow, the State Line Steamshlp company was established early Tn 1878, having for its port of calling in ireland, Belfast, the most flourishing man utacturing town in that kingdom, to and rom which access and conveniences are provided by the numerous railroads which make their center at this chief market for the export and import of goods and pro- duce f0
 The accommodations and discipline of the State Line steamers have been provided 1 for ln such degree as to induce many of the old customers and friends of the oldest established lines, the Cunard, Inman and others, 10 sail direct from Glasgow, in place of as hitherto going by the way of Liver pool and Queenstown.
 The line consists of the steamships State or Georgia, State of Pennsylvania State of Virginia State of Florida, State of Nevada and State of Indiana plving he tween New York and Glasgow; there are besides these the steamships State of Lou islana, State of Minnesota and State of Alabama trading between Liverpool, Bor- deax and New Orleans.
 All these steamers have been launched within the past year and are of new mate rial and construction throughout and of uniform plan in their internal arrangements passengers are secured against any difficult ty arising on the return journey (ln secur- ing good accommodation or awaiting fa- yorite ship, as is often the case in many of the older established lines who still have many antiquated ships afioat, with accom- modations quite insufficient for the present tastes of passengers.
 The State Line steamers are all about $500 tons burden, provided with the latest and most approved engines and machinery and ofticered by men of long experience in the Atlantic trade; as an incentive to order and discipline, the captain of each steamer holds large share ln his ship, thus giving him personal interest in the welfare of his passengers and the seaworthiness and safety ot the vessel he commands.
 The saloons on the steamers of the New York line, extending across the entire width ot the ship, are very elegantly aud taste fully decorated and provided with all nos sible attractions to disspate emma and in. crease the ease and comfort of an ocean trip; the state rooms are all on the main or upper deck, aft of the saloon, and in size and arrangements for repose and comfort they are unriyaled in the trade,
 The cooks galley is forward on the up- per deck and the disagreeable effects of cooking are unfelt by the most keen smell ing and sensitive of passengers throughout the saloon and state rooms adjoining; each berth has attached to it patent life pre- server, and to each room is telegraphic communication with the stewards depart. ment, whose attention can be secured at any time.
 The size and build of these steamers are such as experience has proved to be the most easily and efficiently managed. and their seagong qualities having been thor oughly tested during the past winter sea. son, they can be justly recommended as safe and worthy of confidence to those wis lting Europe and who wish to avail them selves of the beautiful coast scenery of Ire land and the sail up the Clyde, than which no fairer or more delightful scenery can be found in the British Isles the average pas- sage is between nine and half and ten days. Those who desire visiting Scotland before proceeding to the Continent, will find their comfort much increased by ta- king this new and favorite route and avoid. ing the overcrowding and hurry experl- enced in landing at Liverpool,a place of no interest to the tourist or pleasure seeker.
