We perceive this road i, steadily increasing ia
its business ia the directors procure locomotives
and cars TO accommodate the public The road
is now receiving about Sll.o00 per week, or near

city of Albany of i 900 900 towards its cons.ruc

We notice by albany paper that tram with
200 tons passed from Grcenbush To Boston. the
principal item of the load being l,667 barrels OF
flour from the Erie Canal. Ii this gteat load was
drawn over the Western Railroad with engine.
the actual cost to the Company Exclusive OF in
tcrcst on the capta) for the 300 miles should not
have exceeded ninety cents per train per milo
this sum Being more than the average rate per
train per mile of all the railroads in New-knsa
We thus find that 667 barrels cost for transporta-
ton from Grccnbush To Boston, $3.50, or twelve
cents per barrel. To this fact would call the
attention of landhoilcrs and merchants, aud ash

TINT the CAPITALISTS Of Boston haNc directed their
attention To investments in our Northern line OF
railways fom Albany to Buffalo. Certain 1t T..
they now have the control ot u majority oil me
stock in two important railways on this lnc. When
the proper time arrives, they will control the hours
az departure and arrival at Buffalo to suit the
travel and business to Boston. They viii naturally
make such regulations to force the largest travel
oil the ALBANY and West Stockhridgc and Western
Railroads daring the winter months; and they
may again taunt u' with the Invitation " To take

1t is stated that some of the graCos on the West

tons over this grade, tho friends Of the New-i orh

The importance of constructing road to Dan
kirk or Lake Erie, As well as 10 Albany aud Troy,
consider more important al thl' time than the
Enlargement, OF the Eric Canal should i be nc
cessaTy to discriminate between the two.
We consider i, high time that the great tax
paving city of Ncw-lork, should investigate the
absolute necessity Of continuous lines OF railways
into the interior to the Upper Lakes. We have
now got pure water, let our Common Council look
TO the introduction by railways Of pure meats, W.
getables and miik. They will then receive the
blessings of thousands and save millions annually
to the city in the cost OF the nccessaries Of life
