John’s, Nfld., and will carry cargo and passerers, The new steamer is specially adapted for the trade, having elegant cabin accommodation for over forty passengers, and all the latest improvements. | This is a Canadian company, and has now taken up this Gulf business with commen- dable enterprise. By this route the tourist is enabled to visit various points of interest and beauty as well as to enjoy the scenes of the :iver St. Lawrence, calling at the several picturesque harbors of Char- lottetown, Picton, St. John’s Nfid., and passing through the Northumberland Straits and the Gut of Canso. At Pictou connection is made with the railway system of Nova Scotia, bringing the traveller within easy access of Halifax, St. John, N. B., and Port Mulgrave, at which last place the steamer from Sydney, Cape Breton, can be joined traversing the celebrated Bras d Or lakes. The round voyage on these steamers occupies some eighteen days and covers a distance of over 3,000 miles, affording an opportunity for a refreshing holiday trip, full of variety and interest.’ ‘The means of communication between Canadian ports and Great Britzin are also enlarged and improved. Messrs. Allan Brothers have added two Jarge steamers to their fleet--the Siberian and Carthegenian, each 4,60( tons, and they have purchased the Inman steamship City of New York and fitted her up under the name of the Norwegian. The Allan Line steamers will run to the St. Lawrence from Liverpool aud Glas- gow every week. The Dominion Line, the Montreal Star,— ‘*Will this we are told by year have the finest vessel that has ever traded between Montreal and Liverpool. The Vancouver, which was lately launched, is a magnificent ship. The dimensions of the vessel are :—Length botween perpendiculars 430 feet, breadth of beam i5 feet, depth of } id, oo feet 6 inches; tonnage, gross register 5,500 tons ‘ en built of Consett iron, under te * ple oe Seti Me £ aval special survey of tne Admiralty for nava and transport service, and of Lloyd’s ac- cording to their heaviest, viz., the three- decker specification, but haa in many important iespects been strengthened Im excess oi the requirements of their highest clase, and is therefore excep- The steerage tween decks are nearly eight feet high, and are divided into four compartments by water-tight bulk-heada, each compartment having a separate entrance im a spacious house on deck.

Of the $30,500,000 required, $5.500,000 will be provided by the anticipated surplus, sales of Domin- ion lands, ete., leaving a balance of $25,000,000 to be covered by foreign loau, at a cost, for interest, of $1,000,000 a year.

Tue open water iv our harbor and the | prospect of clear Straits after a chango| of wind, are earnest of an early renewal | of regular communication between our | isolated Island and the rest of the world; and men are beginning to make enquiry as to the means provided, The Steam Navigation Company’s steamers have been overhauled and thoroughly repaired under the careful and efficient supervision of Mr. Sloggett. Both have been furnished with new boilers, and both have improved accom- modation for passengers and freight. | The Princess of Wales rides as buoyantly vpon the water as she did when newly launched ; aud good judges say that with her new timbers and fastenings, she is stronger than she ever was, while her siloon and decks have been considerably enlarged. Expense has not been spared , and we trust they will | be amply rewarded by a large traffic We have not heard by the Compan‘ - ' oD | . . . | their old routes. how they intend to use their new steamer | the Summerside; but trust she will be| profitably employed ia connection with | the trade of our Province. She leaves! for Pictou on Tuesday—ice permitting. Ihe new Heather Belle has been re parred and repainted ; and will, no doubt, command a large traffic between Char-; lottetown and the large outports with | which she makes connections. Fishwick’s Line will have steamers plying between Halifax and Charlotte- towr, and the Worcester and Carrol! wi lj run as usual, between Charlottetown | and Boston. But besides all these, additional facil-} ities will be afforded by the Black | Diamond Line. Two fine steamers of | this line will be ou the route of Mon-| treal, Charlottetown, Pictou, and St. | John’s, Newfoundland, viz., the Bona- | re vista.

Both, we are intomred by Messrs Peake Bros. & Co., the ageuts of the Black Diamond Line in this city, are provided with elegant saloons, ladies’ | nd only evil, but if you will give them, cabins, bath rooms, smoking rooms, ete. In a recent notice of this line the Mon- treal Star seys :— “The Coban, alread favorably knowr from her last year’s work, will ran alterna- tely with the new steamer Bonavista frofa many desirable immigrants. | between Charlottetown and Bedeque. city. | Theo.

It is expected that the Vancouver will prove one of the fastest vessels in the Canadian trade. The engines are of the three-cylinder type, the high-pressure cylinder being fifty-eight inches in diameter, the two low-pressure cylinders eighty inches in diameter each, and the stroke sixty-six inches. The boil- ers are six in number, having thirty fur- naces, and the initial pressure of steam is ninety pounds per square inch, but the boilers are tested by the Board of Trade to over double that pressure. It may be stated that the ship is illuminated through- out with the electric light.” Again,two steamers of the White Cross Line will ply from the first season between Antwerp and Montreal; and it is hoped that besides carrying large quantities of freight to and fro they will be the means of bringing to our shores These additions to the fleet of steam vessels trading with Canada, show that leading men of business are confident of an eulargement of our trade; and we are not without hope that one of the trans-Atlantic lines wil) take advantage ofthe subsidy of $7,500 granted by Parliament, and give Charlottetown a call.
