A FAST ATLANTIC SERVICE CONTEMPLATED.

LONDON, July 27th,

It is announced on good authority that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company is making arrangements for a fast Atlantic passenger and freight serpice. This is designed as a counter, move to Mr. Morgan's Trust. It is proposed to inaugurate the service with four large pas: senger steamers capable of doing 20 knots per hour. These steamers will be modern in the largest sense of the word and equipped mag- nificently. Ten or twelve fast freight steamers will also be put on the run and will be fitted | with every modern appliance. The route will be from Liverpool to Quebec during the sum mer months and from Liverpool to Halifax during the winter months. It is now a matter of negotiation between the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. and the Imperial Canadian Go- vernment as to whether the latter will offer a

subsidy sufficient to encourage the project The Government Favorably Disposed.

Apropos of the Press one distinctly discreditable incident, which has aroused the severe but dignified reprobation of the dailies, is to be recorded, In the Lady's Realm, à "Peer's daughter," writ ting in a somewhat previous strain, for which possibly the exigencies of present-day jour. nalism may in a measure offer some excuse, describes the Abbey ceremony with some minuteness, and much graceful diction. This proceeding cannot be commended, but what is to be said of the further article descriptive of the great Royal Opera, wherein the writer ads versely criticises both the leading "Command" artistes, and the chorus. With an unfavourable opinion, given with fairness, and in good faith no one should quarrel, but to condemn in advance the performance of those who live by their work is surely a gross and scandalous misuse of the power of the pen. It is difficult to see who is more to blame, the lady who wrote, or the editor who permitted to pass, any such verdict before' trial,
