Lieut, Porter’s Views on Stcamships. Wasminotos, Feb. 9, 1647. Sia:—What is the reason the merchants do not sub scribe for the stock in the Atlantic mail steam line? It was supposed, when the English merchants first start- ed the project of trans-Atlantic steam navigation, the philosophers of Europe, end Dr Lardner among the rent, dgnied the feasibility of the plan; but the first pas- sage of the Great Western solved the problom. We can well recollect this ship's triumphal entry into the bay of New York. Since the ostablishment of this lino, that of the Cunard has sprung into existence, and English mail steamers are radiating from England to oll parts of the world, and yet an Ameri line have not yet crossed the Aflantic, and difficulties appear which prevents the whole stock from being once subscribed One of these obstacles cannot bi want of wealth among the merchants of New York ; nor can it be a want of enter’ prise. Tobe “richasa New York merchant,” be come a proverb; and the word coupled with a New Yorker. So th be tl se of absence of an Ameri wail Not only hav been engaged in improvements in their city, b ing their surplus wealth in projecting railro and constructing wharves, acqueducis, Kc. ry lives to be throwa out to catch and collect i —to concentrate it at New York. ccomplished, ond the surplus n now be profitably employed It was also thought the steam valli Ia; but on the con- thi nn the means of facilitating comm int ion, travelling, and a bogie | in their time of arrival. This wi desideratum whic! wore peculiarly fitted, the sailin @ greater corryirg nls tl filling the orders conveyed by relative position between the ~ and steam ship. But the time has now arrived, when the two qualitic should be combined ; and no time has been so voratle aa the presont. ‘The means of conveying agricultural productions, and communicating with the great valley and rivers of the west have been accom: plished, and any one who will crst his eyes over the map of this country, wiil ot once see the vast im- portance of tha position’ of York as » commercial depot for the whole world. | ere employed in Such was the communication from Europe to China; and within the. lifetime of the children now living, a direct steam com- ion from Europe, via New York to the mouth of the Columbia River to China, isas certainas that tho ‘emigration of this country is westward. It would not be himerical to assert, that within the next thirty years, the shores of the Bay of New York will be studded with cities on either side from the site of the present city to the Nerrows. Those who have heretofore contemplated the project of ocean navigation. have always looked tor- ward to government patronage. Vain hope—I have always found private enterprise has always run ahead of govern- mental e: Again, tho failures—I should say abortions —in the navy, sak ibs seyenne masion, hea ave daterred individuals subscribiag for this stock; and should near sighted men neglect to forward the patriotic and Inudable object now in contemplation, they will, in a few years hence, have the mortification of seeing those who engage in this undertaking, outstripping them in wealte sod texte. Although the’ government have not acted liberally, yet itis to be hoped when the line is established, their interest will compel them to come for- ward and grant a liberal it pass into the hands of theit liborality. The British steamers have not fully come up to the expectations of Americans; in the winter they have been frequently withdrawn, leading persons to believe they wore only calculated for fair weather. The causos of their being withdrawn, are, they are notes substan: tilly builtas American vessels, and the speed of our suiling packets is better than that of the steamers; and in addition to this, meke (to uso a sailor’s phrase) better weather; but there is no doubt, in my mind, American ingenuity and enterprise will svercome all the apparent difficulties connected with ocoun steam travelling. The great fault in steamships, is their sizo; thoy are in fact too amall. It would be moro profitable to the owners to huild a steamship of 3000 tons, than two of 1600. The diflorence in consumption of fuel, and increased speed, would, in the large ship. bein the first trifling, and in the second greatly over the small vesscis. ‘Iransotlantic steamships, merely to connect New York with Europe Liverpool in England, or any great commercial port in France that has sufficient depth of water, should not be less than 3000 tons burthen, provided it is intend- ed that steam vessels should have the combined qualities of steam and bp packets; but should it be designed that they (steamships) should only periorm the business of trapsimi ting letters, light packoges and passengers, 2000 tons would be a sufficient burthen ‘This alone would give a very good profit to the Steam Navigation Company, provided the goverament makes even the pre- sent emall allowance for carrying the mail Believin that the perseverance, enterprise and patriotism of the S York merchants will not allow this noble enter- to fail, has induced me to urge those who mey not at present be desirous to engege in it, to unite with those who have already built one hundsoms steamehiy.
