A New Steamer for Eastern Waters.

New Steamer for Eastern Waters.
We learn that the International Steamship
Company have issued specifications for fine
new steamer to be added to their splendid fleet
OF steamships, which, when completed, will
enable them to run daily line if required.
The new steamer is to be superior in all her
appointments to any running east of Boston.
We see no reason why she should not be
built in Maine, as we have the best of oak tim
ber and have the best ship builders in the
world' and certainly no machine shop can turn
out better marine engine than the Portland
Company in this city, and we hope that they
will secure the contract, feeling assured that a
steamer in every way worthy of our State viii,
thereby be added to the feet of this enterpris
ing company, which is ever on the alert to
meet the progressive wants of the public.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In regard to the interest
problem I beg to differ with A. w. c., who
says in your issue of the Doth inst, that sit is
impossible to divide the amount with perfect
accuracy" must also disagree with e. G.
r., who gives a solution of the problem in the
PRESS of the 30th inst,
AS it appears to me there is principle in
volved in the first years transaction that must
be carried out in the second years transaction,
viz: That A. does not pay interest on the
present worth of the note, but on the value of
the note year from date. or at the time it is
due; or he pays interest in advance on Just the
amount he will owe B. when the note is pay
able
The following is the correct solution as L
figure it:
