The trifling lose—if there should be a loss—which the share- holders iu the Atlantic Company may sustain, should be considered aa the purchase money of our new counection with the great centres of the world's commerce. The following observations upon the situation are ex- tracted from the trade report of the Freeman's Journal. The writer takes a busines Like and sensible view of the whole question at issue:-— Negotiations are still pending betwoon the Canadian government and the Galway steam Packet Compaar, which, if carried to a successful issue, as is anticipated, will prove a great national advantage. The Conadiaa goverument offers to gnake (alway a packet station, uot @ port of call, aud thus witi be realized for [relan4, under the joint guarantee of tho home and colonial goveruments, the permanent establishment of a transatlantic packet station on the west const of Ireland. The importance ot this result, ia a commercial point of view, cannot be over estimated, while the sbarenolderé ia Ireland who sub- seribed rather to secure this result than to mae a profit able investment, will be relieved from all the financtal ect of ob- difficulties which have hitherto surrounded the project. ‘The last yearly account of the compauy showed a loss of nearly £120,000. The hal? year just past will probably exhibit a proportionate loss which would represent some- Like £150,000. This estimate is, of course, coajeo- tural on our part, but we bave Little reason to doubt that We are pear the true figures. The appeal of the direc- tory, muade laat mouths for power to raise 2259000 new capital orto borrow £400,000, rather iadicates that we are below than above the mark. It is plain, however, that ao more money can be procured in acd im the Shape of capital,and the almost unanimous decision of the [rish shareLoiders aot to give the powers demanded to the directors shows that there is at least ao en ou the part of the Irish holders to give more wo the present directory. The eum alreaty subscribed tn Ircland amounts in round pumbers to about £179 000.

We ‘have all through Stated that, having gone into speculation, there was nothing for it but to give a cheerful and Liberal pecuniary support to the goveraing body, or to allow the Matter to fall through.

There ts another view of the matter which we often discussed, viz. the trans- fer of the goveraing body to Ireland, but wo vaderstand there are legal difficulties ju the way of such a change and this transfer, while it would guarantee improve: still require the add!tioual capital of ement, would 300,59), and pat the Irish party in the disadvantazeooa * short of £159,009 eat and the company, the De enhanced, not only without fur- on the Irish sbareholders, bat with a rea- sonabie prospect of the retarn of a substantial , of their capital.
