One fer the ISLAND Travel, Another for the
New Eastern Line, &c.
BANGOR, Feb. 21.-Mr. George Burnham of
Portland, was in this city yesterday, negotia-
ting for steamer to run from Portlaud to tha
islands in Casoo Bay. Mr.. Burnham- had a
consultation with Capt. Barbour, of the Ban
gor & Bar Harbor Steamboat Company in re-
gard to building new steamer, but no de6a-
ite conclusion was arrived at. II the boat is
decided rpon she must be built at once, as the
company needing the craft will begin business
early in the season. A frame can be OBJ
tained nesr by, and there is good chance at
Oakes' yard to construct such craft.
MIR. Maddox, OF Boothoay, was also here yes
terday having come with a view OF either
cbartering or purchasing steamer to run
from Boothbay to Portland, connecting at the
latter place with the Portland Steam Packet
Company's steamers for Boston.
The steamers needed in seth instances, are
boats of the Cimbria pattern, and good craft OF
that description are scarce. Bangor has
gained great reI utstion for producing spec
dy, sssworthy and handsome steamers OF from
25 to 200 tons, ani as there is now quite de-
maud tor such crafts it is obable that sever
al contracts will be made with builders here
and possibly one or two boats d.
IL is rumored that the Mail Central Rail-
road Company is negotiating with the Bangor
and Bar Harbor Steamship Company to pur-
chase the steamer Cimbria, to run from the
terminus OF the Mount Desert Branch to Bar
Harbor.
