Steam to Africa,—A company has been formed in Liverpool for establishing a line of screw steamers brtween this pott and the western coast of Africa. A Royal charter his been obtained, and the title is "The Liverpool and African Screw Steam-Ship Company." The ships will call at Teneriflfe, Goree, Gambia. S.eira L"one, Liberia, Cape Coast Castle, Accra, Lago<, Whydab, Badagry, Bonny, Old Calabar, Camoroons, and Fernando Po. '1 be object of this company is to carrj passengers and cargo to and from Africa, sailing mtntblv each way. The distance being about 9.500 inilesit is expected these vessels will make the voyage in 3 months and a-half. The contemplated rates of freight are £3 per ton out and £5 per ton home. Taking into calculation the saving in interest, insurance, &C, coupled with the extra buoyancy of iron steamships over wooden on s of 33 per cent., "ietal casks have been invented foi the palm oil trade, having an increased internal capac ty of '_'"> per cent, over wood casks, and this will reduce the freight 255. per ton. This combination of ship and casks will bring the" rate of freight on a par with the present cost to importers. With efficient management, the results eannot be otherwise than satisfactory.— Liverpool Journal.
