Sltetek of thej History of Atlantic Steam
Navigation.
Ooe of the most interesting commercial projects
now before the World, is the establishment of a line
of steam ships between Cadiz and Cuba. We find
this subject treated with much attention by the
"Cronica,” a Spanish newspaper of the highest re*
spectabihty, commenced in this citf about six
momtis ago. Among other pomts connected with I
this project, so important to Spam and her colonies '
and ao interesting to other countries, the editor !
gives an outlme of fee history and present con- I
dition of ocean steam navigation, compiled from
authentic sources, from which we derive the fol
lowing view, by a condensed translation of an '
article in the Cronica of March 23d. I
The proposed line of Spanish steamers between i
Cadiz and Cuba promises to add one of the most ,
important link* to the great chain of Ocean navi
gation. The history of preceding enterprises is
important to be known by those who are embark
. mg in this, as they may shun the errora and take
I advantage of the success of those who have gone
| before.
The English were slow to believe that the navi
gation oi the ocean by steam was possible: and.
until* they had made many experiment* in the Bay
of Biscay and aroond the British islands, tney did
not think of the extension which might bfegiveß to
the power of steam upon the Aliaulic. Even afer
practical men have given proof of what might con
fidently be expected. Dr. Lurdner. a respectable
i writer on machinery, declared that lie thought a
j voyage to the moon more practicable than one
across the Atlantic bv steam.
I In 1536 and ’3*7,several steamboats crossed the
Atlantic, which were the precursors of all succeed
ing ones/ The Royal William and Sirius were
among these; and a year or two afterwards, the
“Great EiverpooP began to ruu a* a regular packet
between Southampton aud Alexandria in Kgypt-
She was lost two or limn* years since.
The -Great Western'’ began u. plv a* a regular
packet, between Bristol and New \ork in, lS3b,
without any assistance from the government. She
continued until withdrawn in 1&45. when in con
seqQencs of the loss of her consort, the “Great
Britain,’' tier owner sold her to the Royul Steam
Mail Company, since which 'he ha* been employ
ed in that service. She measure* 1.300 tons, and
has a power of 430 horses. After running two or
three years, the size of her boiler was reduced, in
order u> make room fur more cargo, and her speed
was in conaeqaence ifomuderab.y diminished. Her
shortest passage from England to New York was
12 days and lb hours. She ha* now crossed the
Atlantic about sixty lime, in the course of which
she has never been obliger to sctiJ bofore a storm
nor to seek refuge m any port, nor undergone any
I injury irom accidents, well meriting the preference
shown for her by her passenger* Site has paid a
medium dividend, as we have U*eo informed, oi
seven or eight per cent, and, although *he ha*
been succeeded by ships ol a superior order in all
respects, she i* still spoken of as admirably con
ducted.
The Greut Britain waa b colossal inline of iron, of
3ftoo tons burthen. She wan from the first, what
c» culled as unfortunate vessel She was built in

She had ud eleguot model, earned «ix sho>-l uiiists
and was propelled hv a maohmr on the plan 01
Arcntuiedea screw. ?ihe performed a passage lo :
New York m 15 days and waa welcomed with the
highest public interest. In cousv-queuee ot the re
pealed breaking ot the chain w ln< u lured ihe great
paddle screw, detentions occurred in her voyage,
but she wn* proved to be a fast vessel, by making
one short voyage. I.’ulbruinutcly. sin- was soon
stranded on the coast ol Ireland, where she- re
mained tor many mouth*, resisting me gigantic el
torts ol engineers, uad without injury Irorn expo
sure m any part, until at length her immense hulk
was solely drawn ori. but the company by whom
she had bepn constructed, were ni. iged to abandon
llieir great projects, aud sold her and the Great
Western together.
Another private company in Kiigland began i.per
atious a year or two atter the (Ireul Western wus
first set afloat. Their steamer* wore, the British
Queen, of 1,50010n5, and the I’ivsideut, ol ft.OOO

but on her return, was dismantled ami laid up at
Antwerp, after baviug t>ecu uiiered lor sale, wet:*
out finding a purchaser.
1 In 1511 Mr. Cunnrd contracted with the Bnh«ii
Government, lo transport the mud between Liver
pool and Boston, touching at Halifax.. sending out
a steamer every Ift days, during three quarters ol
the year and one every month in the winter. He
wus also to keep an extra steamer ready at Liver
pt*ol. to lake an express despatch to the linttsn
North American provinces, at auy time, with -l
hours notice- For this he was lo receive 1 14ft.000
sterling a year. Four excellent ships were imme
diately built: viz. The Briltannia. the Acadin.the
Columbia, and the Caledona; and two years later
the Hibernia and the Cumbri i were added to the
number. All these are ot nearly the same size as me
' treat Western, but superior in construction and
sailing All ot them, it we mistake not, have
grounded among the fog* and shoals cl Nova Sco
tia; and the Columbia was totally lost ou Seal !i
-land. The service, however, ha* been continued
with a degree of prouiptiude aud reirulamy equal
to that found on any railroad in the l nited State*.
It ib impossible lo state tne I'-nill-* of l»u« enter
prise with respect to profit*, tne whole business
being in the hand* of tiv<j partners. aud no report*
having been punished.
They have recent".) added four new stramofs to
their line —viz. the America, the Niagara, the Eu

out being submitted to the people, but b» great re a
son was that if Cuba were annexed, men of a hue
or so too dark might get into high political slabou.
He says:
‘ I also fell bound, at n southern man, and indeed
as an American, to look to the terms of aojf propos
ed annexation of Cuba; for in that event, by the de
cision of the United States Supreme Court, in the
case of the Antistaad, about one-half ofthe slaves oi
Cuba would be freed, and as the laws of that Island
moke no distinction between free white# and free
blacks, the South nnd the Union might find in their
bosom a free negro commonwealth, claiming the
right to send freed slaves a# Senators to our Con
gress, unless proj>er provisions were made in, or
previous to the conclusion ol the treaty, to secure
the present de facto position of the while popula

With reference to the way the famous negotm* 1 .

ended, bear our great diplomatist.
“The hri&U ry of the formidable instructions sent to
Mr. Saunders, nas short as instructive. A formal
conference was soliritcil. to sound the dispositions
of Geu-Nurvaez. Our Kovoy’s English was dilut
ed into French for the edification of that fiery sol*
dier; in return his energetic thoughts, torn out of
their Castilian idiom, to Iw cramped up in a French
dress, were again done into English for the con
venience of Mr. Saunders. This linguistic en
tertainment soon grew irksome to the, impatient
Spaniard, and the conference speedily terminat

OrncixL-— During the press of public business
attending the commencement of n now Adminis

led upon to organize the Home Department of the
Government; and the better to enable him to do so
the Secretary of State has, nntil this period, taken
charge of all applications relating to the offices of
Marshals and district Attorneys. The organiza

much needed improvement progressed; and must

ami the bottom of the basin coming within a lew

' been, that the bottom in various places has (alien

uniform surface. This course seems to rae far
from a judicious one, for, taking into account the
porousness of the returned moss, and the numer*

ful to me, it with all the wall that can l-e put around
it, great leakage will not lake place, to the great I
annoyance and injury of the surrounding property. 1
Would it not be much better to excavate the
whole mass to the common coal level, and thus

ot the tanning interest ol that section ol the couulry
•V majority ol the citizen* whose prosperity has
been so serion-ly aitecled by this suspension, have
hitherto been active in loudly reileratiug the hue

be, future wealth, depended on one of those very

For this class ol persona we would have but hllie

contributed towards producing this result, but it
unfortunately happens that all classes, the guilty

stale of anarchy w«: an- said to be in here.
The republic, is very energetic nud uot a day
passes without some wholesome reform of the old
abuses of Church and Slate. The property of the
Church has been confiscated for Ihe benefit of the
repuhhc, while at the same lime the pay 6f the tier
gy has Keen guaranteed to them.
The Pope's bones have been taken for the artil
lery, and great aejivity is displayed in the war de
partment A determination to maiuiam the Roman
Republic m its integrity is visible in every act 01 the
Assembly.

a’lude to the importance gtveu to the army of the
Pope. The tact mbe has no army of hjaown. imd
not one of the Kuropeau powers can weil assist
him at present. Austria vs getting the worst of her
Hungarian war. and Italy h on the eve of rising m
most* against her hated enemy.
Since my last, the Grand Duke oi Tuscany has
fled, without any cause for so doing. He gave us
his reason for cbe step that the Pope would not al
low him to give Ins content to rhe union of Italy or
in other words, to the ltahun eoiitlitu<-n-y The
Tuscans have since followed the example ol the
RomuiiS, proclaimed n repot.lie, and their utlriiUun
ol unit Qg with Rome.
The two great enemies to Italian freedom n«»w in
Italy are < 'buries Albert aud the King of Naples. —
It will n-.t be surprising if, in a short tune, they too
fodow the examples uf the Hope and the Gram!
Duke —m which case Italy will without doubt be
come one great republic.
Vrsterday we heard that the Austrians, SHOO
strong had entered Ferrnru, aod taken posseaioa
of the city, claiming a tribute 0f200,000 scudi from
the citizens because of n skirmish which took place
some time since, in which the insolence of the
Au*lrau military irlwbvb in iKnuctsion of the for-
tress ol l orrerra) hud roused the Farrnrese, and
during the altray three of the Austrians were kil
led. For tins the city was threatened with bom
bardment it the money was not paid within twen
ty four hour-., und six of the principal citizensgivcn
up as hostages. The news we have today i* that
the army bus again crossed the Po. taking with it
the money an<l hostages. This is bat a brigand
act, and so it is looked upon here. The troops of
the rcpubl-c have been sent m the direction of Fcr

If it has dona good, which, in all probability it has

nothing more in be said. By the Canada, the

“ The RpelUog differ* from mine. But the differ

that it tnay be such as is generally acceptable to
