§ MR. MAGUIREasked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is true that when the Cunard Contract ceases, at the end of this year, no arrangement has been made whereby the steamers of that Company will call at Queenstown?
§ MR. HUNTsaid, he had already made a statement to the House with regard to the arrangement to be made with the Cunard Company at the termination of their present contract. That arrangement, as he had stated, had not yet taken a formal shape, and was at present only a verbal one. The arrangement was that there should be a weekly service to New York for one year, the steamers calling at Queenstown, as at present.
