The line boats Burlington and JVinooski. \
started their regular trips from Whitehall
and st. Johns on Monday las:. The az.
Engagements are substantially the same az
last season--to leave each end of The Laks
at one o'clock, and meet at this port abou,

The Winoosti, having been thoroughly !
repaired during the past winter, comes out
this spring in fine condition for business
"almost as good as new" This boat,
compared with her new associate. is. to be |
sure, rather less than size; but. like The

Will do the public good service, for wears to

to be supplied the next season with a nev
boat.
The Burlington, is indeed paragon, Of
steamboats,, of which the inhabitants Of
Chnmp!an valley have jnstAssc to feel
proud. We believe we hazard lk1hing
saying, that. in the combination of great
strength, with beauty of model. conyen.
fence of arrangement, chaste elegance in
the finish, and uncommon speed, she ia IN.
surpassed by any boat in the world. This
may be though: exlravagant; but who
shol' galnsny it, The American steam
boas are admitted to be superior TO any
others in the world; and we will thank The
man who shall name to US the boat IN this
country that can bear The ties, of compsri.

Capt. SHERMAN has spent bis whole lie
thus far in steam nav CATION, and ranks de.

In the construction and arrangement ofthe
Burlington he has brought together the
rich fruits Of his long experience, and aided
| by nice discrimination and cxcellen, taste
in the finish, furniture, &c. has done him.
self great credit.
! The cost Of this boat, we understand 10
be about $50 o0o--nearly double the orig.
nal cost Of the franklin. In this we have
an earnest of,he enterprise and liberality
of the steam boat company. which we hope
will be duly appreciated by The public.
