Company in subordinate capacities
for a long period, so that all the work
from stem to stern of the ship is most
thoroughly systemized.
The cabins of these steamers are fit
ted up in the most luxurious style,
and the price fer first class outside
stateroom accommodation is but $75
gold from Baltimore to Liverpool.
intermediate passage to Liverpool is
sold at $40 gold, Roundtrip tick
cts at considerably reduced rates.
During the summer season, tourists
wishing to enjoy short sea voyage
and the delightful climate Of Nova
Scotia, should take advantage of the
special excursion rate of $35 gold for
the round trip between Baltimore and
Halifax. Only three days and half
are required to make the voyage from
this port to Halifax-about fifteen
hours on the Chesapeake Bay and
three days on the Atlantic. The popu-
larity of this trip is increasing every
summer, and those who have tired of
the seaside, the springs and other
customary summer resorts, should not
fail to avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity for a change in their summer
relaxation.
This line affords the greatest facili-
ties to persons in this country who
wish to send for their friends abroad.
Such persons have simply to purchase
a certificate of passage at the office of
the general agents in this city, Mes
srs. A. Schumacher & Co., or from
any Of their authorized agents, and
send the same to the passenger in the
old country, who has the privilege of
embarking by any steamer of the line
to Baltimore for the space of one year
from the date of issue of the certif-
cate. Upon arrival of the steamer at
Locust Point, the pier is closed to all
except employees of the company or
such friends Of passengers bound for
the West are transferred at once to
the cars of the Baltimore and Ohio R.
R. Co., which are run under the shed
alongside Of the vessel. Under such
circumstances it is of course impossi-
bic for emigrants to be taken in by
runners as is unfortunately so fre-
quently the case at other large ports.
The Baltimore and Ohio r. R. affords
the most direct, shortest and oonse-
quently the cheapest medium of trans
portation between the seaboard and
Western States, and persons residing
outside of Baltimore and sending GER
tifcates ofpassage out to their friends
to join them, can make the necessary
arrangements with Messrs. A. Shu-
macher & Co., here, who will see that
their passengers go forward without
delay by this road to any station in
the West North West and South West
or by other routes to any other point
in the United States.
The prices of passage by this Line
are as low as by any other frst-czaas
Line crossing the Atlantic. Steerage
passage is sold at present to or from
Liverpool, Queenstown, Belfast, Lon
donderry, Glasgow, Bristol or Cardiff

are also issued to or from Hull, New
castle Or Dublin, as well as all the
principal French, German and Sean
dinavian cities, at the lowest rates.

stantial and nourishing food, and are

The following, from d gentleman
who came to this country some time
since, to investigate the subject Of Ia
Dor and emigration for the benefit OF
Irish emigrants, will give some idea
Of the life led by s5eerage passen-
