| Tho steam boat Chancellor Livingston, we
understand, will commence running between
! New York, this place and Providence in the
course ofa few weeks. The following re-
marks on the subject, are copied from the N.
York Evening Post
We mentioned day or two since that
4 company had been incorporated by an act
Of the Rhode Island Legislature, for the
purpose of fitting up the steamboat Chan
cellor Livingston, to convey passengers TO
and from New York, aud Providence. We
then stated that it was intended immedi-
ately to opon the books for subscription to
the stock We have since learned that
we were mistaken on this point, and that
'for the present, at least, there is 10 such in-
tention.
We are glad however to learn that the
project il going on well, and that the sub
scriptlon j. filing up. The enterprise is a
liberal aud public spirited one, and as such
deserves 10 be cOuntenanced and encour-
aged. Having, ourselves no interest in the
matter beyond what is felt by every mem
Der of the community who likes to travel
commodiously, cheaply and expedltlously,
we shall offer our remarks on the subject
with the greatest freedom.
1t IS common observation that the a.
mount Of travel from one important com.
mercia place to another IN our country, |
has lately increased in an astonishing de-
grce. The mere growth Of our population /
IS not sufficient to account for this effect.
Tor the increase Of population has been IN
t,ntely short Of The Increase Of travel. IL
must be owing therefore to the reduction
Of the fare and the greater speed Of the
passage. The increase OF the travel or
the North River IS striking eXempIIfica-
ton Of the truth oftAls remark. The bring
ng Of such q nunbcr of new steam boats
N that river seeis TO have multiplied rath-
ar than diminished the number of passen-
gers in each.-Every new boat is mI.sdi-
ateiy illed and yet the decks Of the old
ones seem OILY TO swarm with additional
Thus the public are the gamers,
and those Who are told the fact that the
hudson Steam Boat Association divided ~
per cent. ss the amount Of the last years
profits, vii. be satisfied that the proprle-
tors are uut the losers. So far * thiS con-
petition from having reached is highest
,oint. that new boats continue TO be built
or tins Tlvrr with good prospects Of sue
'css. 1t may be expected that the same
'auscS will produce the same effect upon
he travel betwccl this and the eastern
,orts. Il should seem that there is at pres.
mt more room for successful competition
u that quarter than even on the North
tlver where the competition has been kept
lp so long and has grown so ardent.
The summer om,grutiors FROM this CITY
,rc every year becoming more numerous
. only needs the same facilities OF passage
,lung the Sound To the shores Of Long Is
and, Connecticut and Rhode Island, az
nov exist on the Hudson, to make the cX
,ursious during the hot season as frequent
0 the cas-. rs they are to the north.

Shocking .4ccident. The steamboat
Connecticut arrived at ". York on Friday

when the boat was within FIVE miles :. f
from Falkland Island, mr.. SANFORD, her
irst officer was knocked over board by the
lib sheet and blocks; and although every
oNcrtion was made to rescue him from IA
vatery grave--thcy all proved Intellectual
Captain Comstock stood near him at the
time of the accident; the engine was imme-
diatcly stopped, and the boat got ready,
vet to no purpose, as he sank to rise no

torious officer, and highly respectable
man. He belonged to this town, and has
