If the rapid increase of steam vessels Continues, ere long we shall have @ daily line between the two continents, and an ocean steamer will be no more of a aovelty than a packet ship was 2 few years since. ‘The Collins linc during the past year has had added to it the noble steamer Adriatic, which has made one vey- age. The performances of the Adriatic were very satis+ factory to the company, and they anticipate that the pas- sages she will make tins yew will be second to none here- tofore made by any steamer. ‘Tho Cunard steamers, including thoee ranning to Bos- ton, have continued to run regularly, a8 heretofore, dur- ing the past year. ‘Tho new steamer Vanderbilt, named after and belong- ing to Commodore Vanderbilt, commenced running be- tween this port and Mayre in May last, and made five suc- ceasful voyages, terminating on the 26th of November 1 ast, since which time she has been laid ep. Tho Van- derbilt was the only successful opponent in speed that the Persia bad to contest against during the year. By com- paring the five last yoyages of the Persia with those of the Vanderbilt, it will be soon that the latter bas made the best time of the two. One sq@uw otcamship—tho Tempest—has been lost the past year. She came from Glasgow to this port, where she arrived on the Ist of February, and sailed again on the Mth of that month on her return, since which time nothing bas been heard of her. ‘The Liverpool and PhiladolpL'a line of screw steamships, composed of the City of Baltimore, City of Washington, City of Manchester, and Kangaroo, which ran rogalarly "betwoon those two ports during the year 1866, have been running between Liverpool and thix port with the greatest regularity and suecees during the year past. They bave carried more passengers than any other two lines com- bined. But oue of them—the Kangaroo—went to Phila- Aclphia the past year, where she arrived on the fest of January, and sailed again on the 10th of February, after boing detained about two weeks by the ico, The City of Manchester left Liverpool on the 1th of January for Pbi- ladelphia, but after getting to the Capes of tho Delaware ‘Me found it impossible to enter, owing to the ice, and was compelled to como to this city. Since that time the whole line has been running to this port After the steamer Ericseou was withdrawn from the ‘ollins line she made one voyage to Bromen direct. Sho Jeft this port on the 16th of September and returned again on the 4th of November. . A Bremen steamer named the Hanes arrived bere from Bremen direct on the 2d of May again on the and arrived at Dremen on the ith. She brought over up- wards of 500 parsengers and took hack near 100, but for pome cause she was withdrawn fiom the route. The Antwerp line, compored of the Leopold Ist, Rel- #ique and Constitution, afler baving made even voyages to this port, were withdrawn from the line, having been chartered by the British goverument to convey troops to India A now line of serow steamers, © run between Rremon, London ani New York, commenced in April last. They ‘wore named the Queen of the South, Indiana, Argo and Jason. This line was in successful operation wntil it was chartered by the Pritieh government for the con- veyance of troops, &e., to India. ‘The old Bremen line of steamers formed by the Waeb- ington an’ Hermann, and which has been in successful ‘operation for about ten yenrs past, ceased to exist on the arrival of the Washington in July last—the contract for carrying the mails having beev given to Commodore \an- derbilt. ‘The steamers running between Portland and Liverpoot, ‘via St. Johns, N. F., and Halifax, have made but few voyages during the year, The Liverpool and Quebec line, consisting of the Indian, Canadian, North American and Angto-faxon, havo been running to Portland a greater part of the year. The number of passengers by those steamers ‘has been few in comparison with thoes who have patron. ived the lines of screw steamers coming to this port. ‘The French line of screw steamers which we mentioned Anat year as having been formed for the purpose of running Between Havre, Martinique and New Orleans, made but two or three voyages in the beginning of the year, and then ceased 1unning altogether ‘The following tables show the number of passages made by cach steamer, both Mastern and Western, as ‘woll as the apparont timo occupied by each of the Coline and Cunard tines, and of the steamship Vanderbilt, as fear as could be ascertained, during the fear.
