The whole arrangements of these vessels are based upon an experience of upwards of seven years, during which Henry H. Willis & Co.’s Line of Packets has been regularly established between England and New Zealand, and every improvement which, from time to time, suggests itself as conducive to the comfort of Passengers, (without losing sight of economy in the Rates of Passage,) will continue- to be promptly adopted.
