ATLANTIC STEAM NAvIGArIoS--NEw York AND
BosroN The Great Western, steamer, which sail
to-day for Liverpool or Bristol, has already en-
gagged over one hundred passengers---and the Co
lumbia steamer, ofthe Cmard line, which sails from
Boston, probably will take only forty or fifty, fso
many. The last Boston steamers went out one
third lu-whe the steamers and packets from this
port are absolutely crowded with passengers from
all parts Of the country.
How is this what is the reason 2
It arises principally from the locality of the ports
OF arrival and departure both sides OF the Atlantic
New York and Liverpool are the only central ports
Of both continents. Bristol IN England, and Boston
in the United States, both out of the great line
Of travel If the Cunard steamers were to come
here, instead of Boston, they would sail full every
time. They have been obliged to reduce the pas
sage to Sl35--the same as that ofthe Western--bui
to the most Of their passengers, the additional ex
pense to Boston still makes a sum equal to $50
which maybe saved by sailing from New York
All these singular results are produced by insepa-
rable causcs--natura and artificial In England
Bristol never can contend with Lverpoo--nor car
Boston contend with New York as the great central
point on this continent In a few months, the
French line of steamers will be expected at this port
and then will commence a new trade and new
movement in favor of New York. The Belgian
government are already in the field and if success
full, they will add another to the Queen. The
French government have every means to create ar
immense line Of steamers, and we have no doubt
they will exert all their energy-torval the English.
Another thing-We should not be surprised to find
that the West India steamers should be taken of
that line and put upon the New York route. They
would make more money, and be equally effective,
If they did
In the meantime, Atlantic steam navigation is in
a state of experiment. Many changes will yet take
place, before it settles down into its natural ano
most effective channel. Till this be done, the sail
Ing packets will make a smashing business-but
Boston can never make the Cunard line thrive
that's fat

IIENRIcH's Musical FEsrIvAL-It should be re-
collected that this is the evening for one of the most
interesting musical performances ever held in New
York That elaborate composition Of Heinrich's,
called the Pilgrim Fathers" certainly is one
which must make a strong appeal to the breast of
every American; and lis performance with such an
orchestra as is the one engaged for the occasion,
and with such vonst as]Herwig, cannot fail of an
effect worthy of the subject. This concert is quite
peculiar in several respects and thus adds the charm
of novelty to its other attractions Those who fail
to attend il, will lose opportunity rarely to be en-

CONGRESSIONAL BUsNEss-EXPLosIoys AND W.
FOES ExtEcrED-Thc state of public affairs in Con-
gress is very amusing.
The new Excheluer scheme, TO establish national
currency, il entirely laid aside--none can pass
bank or exchequer. The Navy and Army are to be
cut down. because the Presidents name is "Capain
Tyler and he must be I" headed off," The Tariff
and Distribution Bill is before Congress in four diff
lercnt shapes-and as many different forns-and
there is every probability that if the Tariff and Dis.
iribution principles be united in the same bill, the
President iciR plt his rcfo on il at once. The action
ofCongressi is very uncertain--and the result of the
Session mere matter of chance TO be brought about
by the eeryescence Of four or five factions in Con-
gress all electonenng for different candidates for the
next Presidency-and all opposed to the present re-
sPectable and moderate dynasty.
We expect great excitement and confusion to-
wards the close of the session.
IEXAs AND NlENco.-Accordng to the last au-
thentic accounts from these parts of the earth. 1t
would seem thata war is inevitable between Texas
and Mexico.
President Houston OF Texas has called the Con.
gress together for the 9Th Of June and the intention
is to organize an invasion Of Mexico at once-and
70 march upon that counuy during the ensuing win
ter AMI spring. Already about two thousand armed
emiyranis for Texas have left the different larg
cities Of the south, and probably S2O0Oo have been
contrib Itel to aid the cause of the war.
great opposition, however, is expected to be
mlds to the declaration of war, in the new Con
gress Many Texans ofconsiderabIe influence anc
sun ling will oppose the moyement-riih what sue
cess we know not. Nothing further can be known

TALE OF lIoRRoR. In the Runsas (lowa)Ga
zette we find the most extraordinary and cruel rca
ton Of circumstances that believe went forth
in type. An old man lived alone, and had forbidden
daughter who lived ear and her husband or even
their children approach his pace, on account of
some wh;ms ica pique that the old wretch had taken
against his child. One morning the inhuman being
found his grandchd under three years of climb
ing upon his garden rail and he deliberately went for
his rifle, and shot the boy dead The victim fell in
side Of the fence. The old man reloaded and sat
watching. Not long after the mother came seeking
her child, and the minute she touched her fathers
garden rails as she did with shrek, the instant she
perceived her dead child, the old brute shot her in
the temple and killed her stone dead on the spot,
The hoary maniac Gas he is now accounted) shot the
father also, when he came, and he is now in prison
to answer for three murders.
