OUR ROUTE.

[FbOH THE "AITA CALIFORNIA," OCT. 14.] The colonies of Australasia have become thoroughly alive to the necessity and value of immediate and intimate commercial relations with ihe United States. It has been but a few months since steani communication was first established between San Francisco and those colonies, but in that short time a large freight and passenger traffic has sprung up. A spirited opposition has been going on for some time between the Webb and Hall lines of steamers for the trade,? but Mr.* Hall has become con rinced that it will be necessary for him to Withdraw from the contest unless he is granted liberal subsidies from the colonies. Mr. Webb will continue; to run his steamers to Auckland, and thence to Sydney, and probably to Melbourne, until the colonies and the United States determine whether they will grant sufficient subsidies to warrant him in making the line a permanent affair. The leading mercantile men of the colonies of :Ne,w: Zgaland, Tasmania, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, have' resolved to hold a conference at an early day, at which they will decide upon the line to be encouraged, the amount of subsidy to be given by each colony, and the route for the steamers. The Suez route has been abandoned as being impracticable, on account of the suffocating temperature encountered in the Eed Sea and Indian Ocean. The pleasures of a voyage from Australasia to San Francisco, a most delightful" trip across the United States, through some of the grandest scenery in the world, and au eight or nine days' voyage across the Atlantic, present more inducements for parties living in the colonies, ■who desire to visit Great Britain, to come by this route than to go by Suez." Aside from this, Mr. Webb's fast and corn m odious steamers carry the English mailthrough from this port in quieter time than it can be taken by. the other route. It is to be hoped that Congress, at its next session, will show as much liberality in aiding to establish this American line as the Australasian colonies have.
