 New York, May 9.--Owing to the pres ence and danger resulting therefrom, of numerous ice bergs and especially of an immense one. estimated to be from 100 to 200 feet in height and 1000 feet in length, on the transatlantic routes taken by the principal steamships, the White Star line has notified it's com manders that until further notice they will make their courses for longitude AT degrees west and latitude 40 degrees 10 minutes north.
 From the middle of January until the middle of August every year the Trans Atlantic liners courses are laid for lon gitude 47 degrees west at latitude fl degrees north when eastward bound, and at latitude AZ degrees north when westboard bound. These points are considered by the United States hydro graphic office, at whose suggestion the principal steamship lines adopted the courses, to be almost the southern limit of drifting icebergs. The initiative of the White Star line in changing their routes 50 seconds of latitude (about fifty-eight miles) to the southward of the regular routes probably will be fol- lowed by the other Transatlantic lines
