New YORK, Sept 3.-A dispatch to

port by the new line Of transatlantic
mail steamers, to be built and owned in
the United States and called the "At.

This company has been formed for
the purpose of running weekly steam.
ers between New York and England
and the continent, and, it is stated, to
be subsidized by the United States for
carrying mails.
The first port for these liners on this
side Of the Atlantic will be Berehaven,
on the extreme south west of Ireland, ut
the entrance Of Bantry bay. This is a
naval station for the British feet and
is defended by forts erected on an island
aud on tho mainland. It contains all
the necessaries. including depth of
water, for such a port.

Great Western railway Of England is
now establishing a line of fast mail
steamers to do the 81 miles passage to

this arrangement will be that q special
train leaving Berehaven with mail and
passengers will be in Paddington in

with the Queenstown route, is clear
gain of over hours in time, as Bere-
haven is 8 hours west Of Queenstown.
The steamers Of this new line, after
leaving Berehaven. will call at Havre
and then come to Dover, subsequently,
proceeding to Nushing. The steamers
are to be constructed to maintain an
average speed Of 81 knots across tho
