RAILWAYS AND STEAMERS 815 and Albany. Farther progress was comparatively slow, as it “i was not till 1820 that steamers were employed between ’ Dublin and Holyhead ; and it was only in 1838 that the first Transatlantic yoyages were attempted. The Enterprise toocean had made the voyage to Calcutta in 1827, but this proved To unremunerative, and the difficulties of obtaining fuel and gradual, working engines in the tropics, rendered the success of such long and distant trips problematical. Still the new invention opened up a prospect of rendering communication with India much more rapid, and the Government, along with the East India Company, organised a system for reopening the old route to the East through Egypt. This was a scheme which we inherited from Napoleon, and it was well-adapted for the early days of steaming, as the long voyage was interrupted by a brief journey overland. In 1835 steamers were regularly passing between Bombay and Suez, while the English Govern- ment despatched vessels to convey letters to Alexandrial. The detailed facilities for this overland route were carried out by Lieutenant Waghorn; and the dromedary post which bad been organised by Bagdad, Damascus. and Beyrout was superseded. The superiority of the steamer in regularity and punctu- ality was obvious from the first, so far as passenger traffic was concerned ; and the increase of steam-shipping went on side by side with that of sailing-vessels for thirty years. Steam had no such superiority over sailing as to supersede the older system on the water, in the rapid manner in which the locomotive asserted its superiority on land. Gradually, however, the regularity and punctuality of steam-ship voyages and it has . . greatly began to tell for freight, as well as for travellers, and since tensfited 1860 the increase of steam-shipping appears to have occurred he pom to some extent at the expense of the sailing-vessels. The new motor power has played a part in the recent develop- ment of British commerce. This has been advantageous to the manufacturer, as giving facilities both for the purchase of materials and the sale of goods, but the landed interests Jtat the have derived little advantage and have been exposed to interest. keener competition.
