As s00n as the great problem of ocean steam maviga- tion was satisfactorily solved. and the feasibility of connecting the old world and the new, by steam com- munication. was precticatly demonstrated, it became ‘epparent, that if the Unfi'ed States desired to maintelm the supremacy which she bad for « great number of years previously epjoyed in the transportation of pas sengers and valuable freight between this country, France, England and Germany, by ber splendid packet ships. she must arouse herself and evter upon a crew eld of enterprise and competition. in order to exeel as much in ocean steamships. as she had in ber sailing vessels or packet ships. Notwithstanding thet it was to us a new business— that we had com'truoted But one or two steamebips of any magnitude, ou’ enterprising merebants boldly launched into this new acu of eater- price, Their first productions were the steamsAlps Washington and Hermann, of the Bremeu line Ade though these versels were not as successful as they’ were expected to be. and as all anticipated they would’ be, they were, nevertheless, highly creditable to our’ ekill and enterprise, and have netted haudsome profits 0 the company which own them. Their average pas- ages dave pot equalled those of the Cunard line, it must be admitted; but, on the other hand, they have made tome runs as quick as any thet have ever been made by the steamehips of any country. These were the first two steamships that the United States turned cut. Since the building of the Herma: d Wasbingtow, several other steamships bave been built, almost all «f which are now engaged in the coasting and Califor- nia trade. They embrace all the modern improve- meats in their hulls andevgines, and are eminently ucceseful in every point of view, not excepting speed, im which respect we think they will compare tavorably with any. The last vessels that have been undertaken’ are the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Artic, and Autarotic, which, when completed, will ply regularly between thie port and Liverpool. They are being constructed under of our most enterp! ears ago Mr. Colline determined G nd of compe! with the Cum shine for the steamsbip tries, d a that pe y of ny nation i hing that pertained to His enterprise will s00n be completed—at least @ part of it will; for the Atlantic. the first of his line, is nearly 5 up” about the aud will it is expected, be “stent Dfteenth of next menth re of inspecting this neble indebted to Mr. Coilins for it would come ti but gracefal proportions.
