OppoSition.-In all objects of public
nature, and for the public accommodation,
rivalry and opposition cannot fail to be Of
service it developes the resources Of the
country; it shows what can be done by
enterprise, and it adds to the comfort, the
convenience, and the interest of the COM
munity. We see this exemplified in the
Post Coaches and Steam Boat lines be-
tween this city and Philadelphia, where
passengers can be accommodated in any
manner to suit their wishes. In doctor
Franklin's time, the post boy for New
York, used to leave Philadelphia once q
fortnight; at present, in addition to many
coaches, there is new line called the
Citiseas Coach, and, by calculation in
the Franklin Gazette, we perceive that
the coach leaves Powles Hook, at S A. NJ
is at Newark, at 5h. 53m. at Elizabeth
Town TO breakfast, at Oh. 32m. at Bridge
Town. at III. 7a,.; at Brunswick, at 8h.
I'm. at Kingston, at Oh. 22m. {; at Tren-
ton, lOh. 45m. (; at Bristol, at ] LII. 45m !;
at Coinwells, at l2h. ] Am. /; and at Phila-
deIphia, at lib. 40m.--making only S
hours and forty minutes between the two
cities; so that news contained in the New
York morning papers, may be found in
the Philadelphia afternoon ones--or if
there was return line, passenger may
leave New-York in the morning-transact
business for one hour and half 10 Phila-
delphia, and return to New York to sleep
by eleven at night. Talk of European
improvements and expedition! there is
nothing to equal this in the world.
