STEAM AROUND THE WORLD.— A Philadelphia paper calls attention to the fact that the beginning of the new year will witness the inauguration of unbroken steam communication around the globe, to be thenceforth prosecuted as regularly as the arrival and departure of European steamships at our wharves. The steamship Henry Chauncey will sail on the 11th of December for the Isthmus; will connect there with the Golden City for San Francisco; and from San Francisco, on the first day of January, the steamship Colorado will sail for Yokohama, in Japan, and Hong Kong, in China. If, arrived at the latter port, the passenger wishes to still journey westward, he can proceed by the boats of the Peninsular and Oriental Company to Bombay, and onward through the Red Sea to the Isthmus of Suez, which, crossed by rail, conducts to the British line of Mediterranean steamers, touching at Malta and Gibraltar, and arrive in England, where a few hours of railway will enable him to take passage in one of a dozen lines of steamships for this country—the supposed point of departure.
