The great German shipping .companies are constructing nine now steamers, representing 130,000 tons, specially to compete with British vessels cm the North. Atlantic and in Eastern trades (says the British shipping journal "Fairpvay" of 28th, December). K-ach of these vessels is to be rendered specially attractive to passengers, is being fitted with the "StoneLloyd" marine safety doors, and co made practically unsinkable. We understand that on "the German liners whioh have already been so fitted the commanders have definite orders at different points in each voyage to invite passengers to the bridge, and also to the engine-rooms, to see these safety-doors in actual operation, end so to assure l&emsolvos that it is next to impossible for a vessel go fitted to founder. By doing thds the German companies hove already found that the extra cost of -this installation baa be«n pair for over and over again by the increase* in the number of passengers on every vessel so fitted. The Cunard Company have no intention of leaving these laurels of safety in tie bands of their German and have fitted, or arc fitting, their four new crack vessels with the system. The Carmania, equipped with this gear, which left New York for Liverpool 'on the 14th inst., the day after the sailing of tho White Star liner Baltic, had a full complement of passengers, every berth being taken, although the Baltic was known as the "Christmas boat," and it was feared ifcat the Carmwnia would not leave early enough, to land her passengers in time for the first day of the holidays. Other British ship-owners will do well to consult the eafety and comfort of their passengers at least m fully as their foreign rivals. -aM the leading' lines in Germany, and the leading lines in Fiance, the Compagnie Generate Iran satl are using this means to improve tbeir position as caterers to the public, and none of these companies have the reputation of throwing "their money away uselessly. British ship-owners should consider the adoption of euch an obvious means of securing an xnoreaeed feeling of confidence and security on the part of those travelling by their lines. The Alexandra arrived from Pe'.orue Sound yesterday with a cargo of 1360 sheep, and left again for the same place' for another shipment of sheep.
