It is prop iscd tlnit llii' Mni' sliould loiislbt of sevon well constructed Iron Screw Steamships, havinjrHUllicient power to ensure the speed required and superior passenger necoininodalioii. The distance between C'liicAOu and CoLUSawooD being 575 miles, a speed of 14 miles or 12 knots per hour, will cnabh- the ships to make the trip in 48 houra earh way, allowing abundance 6f time for stopping at way ports. The seven vessels will thus form a daily line (Sundays excepted,) and each will have sulliiient time in port for discharging and receiving cargo. The charter will ki'ep in view and provide for the extension of theConipij||y's lino to Green Bay and to the various ports on Lake Superior, as soon ns the llusines^i of tliusi' plai'es may warrant sufh an extension. 'J As it is not proposed to proeeeil with the construction of all the steamoi^ simultaneously, the capital will only be called in at the rate of ten per cent seini-annnally, <'ouimenelng on the lii.it (if April, IHST. This will enable the company to c instruct two ships in each year, and to complete tho line in IHiiO. It is believed ti> be more judicious to pursue this course, beeau^o at the time the last ships are built the amount of business will have greatly increased, and also because the ennstrueiors can thereby adopt such 4iodiflcations as may be found necessary to meet the exigcncio of tho trade. As the ships are constructed tin y may be run in connection with ihose now on the line, which will be gradually replaced by the com- pany's new vessels. It is essential tliat such measures should be taken as will securu the ooiiiitraction of two vessels during Ihc ensuing year, so that tLcymiy VjO ready for the early .■spring bn.iiness cif \**:>i<. m In laying liet'ore the put die the |irospeefuBof the " Nonrii Wester.v Steas >fJ|,n«ATlON Cohpasy," it appears desirable that its projectors should present a succint statement of tlie considerations on which they base their opinions us io ^hc remunerative character of the enterprise, and seek the co-operation of capitalists in carrying it forward. J- In relation to the great extent of the trade and commercial resourci^s of tl# North Western States, and of its probable future increase, much has been written ; and wild as the speculations of those far-seeing men who in pastf years predicted its present importance, were considered at tho tin.e, tho results have already exceeded their estimates ; and the experience of thejpast five years teaches us that it would be difficult to over-estimate tho resources of the country westward of Lakes Michigan and .Superior, and Iribt^ry to their ports. Of this iuimenso trade, a large portion is carried over the Uuilways ounflecting Chicago with the Eastern marts, and the amount so carried has boon niuteriully enhanced by the circuitous nature of the Lake navigation, wieroby tho time required for its transport, the cost of carrying it, and tbo premiums lor insurance, have all been increased, and thus much heavy trafficJlBS been directed over tho Itailways traversing the State of Michigin, and terminating on the waters of I.aki' Krie at Detroit and Toledo. This tramfl includes a large amount of merchandise moving Westward, which is carried at a tarritl' sulliiently low — when tuK<'n in conncc'ion with the shorter time required for its transport, as comparc'd with the old Lake route- to induce shippers to employ the Haihvays for a class of freight which we miotbt reasonably expect would be carried Lake-wise. An amount of trr \ ; is thus freiinently fori ed upon the liailways, suflicient to overtask tho facili fes at their disposal for its transaction, and the goods are thus SO muju retarded in their transit as to increase the time occupied beyond that require<|l>y the Collingwood route, were its connections icliablc. The OolliiiKwoiicI route, therefore, cMmpletety mectstlic of^J^ctions-towt; 'tr-WS oirt Lake route was obnoxious. It shortens tno Lake naVig^tioB 4 by nearly five huudrpil intles, and,1iy avoidfug t!rc niosl dangi'rous portions, iLilerially reduces the ri.-ik. Lake Huron is connected with Lake Ontario fcytho shortest Itailway jiracticalde, which Railway, though only ninety-three 'miles in length, takes the place of the St. Clair Hirer I'lals, andiflAt, oftho Iktrnil liin-r, hf.'.r i'.n,'. ami the \\\-ll much reduced, as to enable it to compete with all water carriage in jioiiit i>f ce-T. Notwilhstandirjg tlii'se couuuanding advantages, however, the projectors the S'urlli-westeru Slcamsliips do not base tlie remunerative charactci of the rnlerprise on an ability to cuiipele with the Uailw.iys for a participation in the buoness now carried by them. They rely, rather, on being able to command a participation in the business now carried Lakewise, by carrying it as cheaply as it can be carried by the old Lake route ; while a reduction of the time occupied in its transit to a near approximation to that reipiiri'd by the Itailways, will assuredly divert {.•> the proposed line the coniparO. lively snnill amount of the Lake-b..rrie tiallic rcpiisite to atTonl a prolital'le bu.^iness. The f.illowiic-' calculations are basiil only on that jiortion of the trade between the agriciillur.il ami mineral regiiPiis of the West, and the nianufttC- turin" and commercial cMiis of the Atlantic seaboanl, which has found its most ilesiralile routi' through tlie Straits of .Mackinaw. The passengi'r busine-..-., on which a peitinii of the earnings of the line are based, will consist of four id.isscs : Lmigrants from tlie Kastern States . Kiiroiiean eiiii'rranls Travellers on business -and Travellers from the Southern States, seeking pleasure and relaxation in the cooler regions of the .North. The most iiiipertaiit of tliesc will be ilic belor chi^s of emigrants m.iving, with their furniture, farm implements, and horses, from the New Enirland SLites I" tlie \\ eslcrii 'lerriinries.
