TRAVELLING TO BUFFALO AND NIAGARA-Such are
the present facilities by steamboat and railway that
the traveller can now leave New York at 7o'clock
in the morning. and arrive in Buffalo at o'clock in
the evening of the next day-making the whole
distance, of $50 miles, in about 36 hours, and at the
trfng expense of some twelve or fourteen dollars,
or two cents per mile. A cheapness in fashionable
travelling never before known.
BY this arrangement, visit can be made from
New York to the great western wonder-Niagara
Falls-and the whole expense OF going and return
ing, not exceed $50 The effect of this must be &c
increase the travel upon this route very greatly
When the new line of French steamers commence
running, there will be greater number of French
visitors to the Falls than there has ever been be.

cleanliness as New York. With two rivers one

rivers of water ntersecing every street and lane of

HE New FRENCH STEAMERs-It will be recol.
lected that the French government are about TO
commence running new line OF steamers between
tins country and France-N. York and Cherbourg-
which is essentially between New York and Paris.
This arrangement is expected to commence in
June next and will constitute an entirely new fea-
ture in steam navigation and transatlantic commu.
nlcatlon. The distance, in time, between London
and Liverpool, and between London and Paris, OF
Cherbourg, is about the same and as the new
steamers are to week, it is very manifest
that we shall not only receive all our French news
by this line, but very large portion of our English
news also and not only SO, but the China and
other news by the great Eastern mail /; for as it all
passes to England by the way of France, it is OF
course received there first and will thus reach New
York earliest by the French steamers.
In literary point Of view, the new arrangement
may be expected to create quite revolution. The
| interchange of French and American periodi-
Gals will be very greatly multiplied, and the slight
difficulties OF the language will be easily overcome
and gradually grow less. AS the French govern
ment establish the line merely in rivalry, and as ar
equipoise, to the English steamers, and take nc
freight il is evident they care nothing for expense
but will endeavor to run their steamers RAPIDLY ano
regularly. New York will become the great cen.
trail point, the vertex of the angle, at which the two
lines meet, and thus derive two.fold advantage
The competition may also bring down the price of
passage across the Atlantic.

RELIGIOUS ANNIVERSARIES. This Holy Far is ra
pdy approaching. Great preparations are in pro-
gress. Representatives are expected to congregate
here from great majority Of all the known reli-
gions upon the face of the earth, and even some
that are unknown. The Quakers are already in

OF Mormonsm, Knapps, Swans, Kinks. and ID. DIS.
without acknowledgements Congregationalisfs,
Methodists, Unitarians, Baptis,s. Episcopalians,
universities, Abolitonis,s. Colonizationiss, Che
rokees, Choctaws, Hindoos, and Hottentots. We
are preparing to report them ALL and give to every
one his portion Of type in due season. The
question as to the time of the end Of the denoue
ment of this grand terrestrial drama, Is expected to
come up. The probability is, that on consultation
the time will be postponed to " a more convenient
season."

Correspondence of the HERALD

ST. LOUIS, April IA, 1913.
Depressed State of Business GeneraHy-Distress
among The Mechanics Expeditions to the Rocky
Mountains.
| MY DEAN SIR
Complaints are made here that money was never
more In demand There is a complete stagnaion
| in every department of trade, and merchants are
offering their goods at Eastern prices.
There Is fall OF SOL per cent on almost every de.
| scrptlon OF merchandise as dry goods, gro
| ceres, hardware, marketing, ETC. What will be the
| result of all this Heaven only knows. Whether
The rich are becoming richer, is more than can
tell but this much is evident, that the poor are
every day becoming poorer. Even the rents, which
TOT several years past have been on the increase
have undergone very perceptbe change. Houses
which not more than twelve months back were
considered cheap at $50 per month, now bring from
Ten to twelve, and are called too high at that
There lsvery little business of any kind doing in
81. Louis at this time. Hundreds of mechanics
may be found here idle and in state Of absolute
penury. There IS very little, if any, building in
progress reason, the lien law pissed at the late
sion OF the Legislature, secures to the industrious
mechanic payment for his labor.
There are several expeditions to leave here on or
about the LIST of May for the Oregon Territory,
Rocky Mountains, &c. There are hundreds of
young men anxious To accompany them-many OF
whom will be unable to go for the want of means 10
tit themselves out.
Many OF our finest steamboats, are lying at our
wharf, beng unable TO obtain either freight pas
sepgers sufficient TO warrant their departure.
Such, sir, is but an imperfect sketch ofhe severity
OF the times in ST. Louis but one from which
you may obtain toerably satisfactory conclusion.

one TO two hours time 10 exercise the full scope OF
their energies, as the city is then without protection
This is one OF the most necessary reiormations of

new Boards will Immediately adopt some system
that will reculy the evil here so plainly presented

Washington Hall listening to the exercises of the
evening In the midst of the spectators, he felt some

stolen from a trunk on the premises. His assistant
stated that man named Savours Orr had come in-
to the place In the course OF the evening and re-
quested HIM TO step across the street errand,
which he consented TO, leaving Orr alone on the
premises. Suspicion falling upon Orr under these
circumstance, he was arrested, and on searching
him 81 note of the North River Bank was found
In his possession which Mr.. Sturgis identified by
the figures 3S4 on the back one of the notes that
had been stolen. Orr was therefore fully commit

FURTHER Particulars - REcovERV or

the Saunders forgery, from which we ex-
tract the following So .a IS .f. .....t 81
On Saturday last, in the forenoon, lad
called at The store of Austen, Willmerding

which contained large amount of money
probably that obtained by Saunders OF
the Banks. A cab was Immediately called,

II seems that the money was first placed.

who was an accomplish in the whole forgery,
with Mrs. Esther B. Rage, lwife of Henry

Friday afternoon, and then sent for color

MULBERRY street, who had been in the habit
Of washing for her, and asked her to take
charge of a box containing valuable jewell

care. The colored woman took II home, but
soon after took il to a Mrs. Hunter, wife of
William Hunter, cooper by trade, at No.
275 Division street, for whom also she was
in the habit of washing, asking her to keep
it for her, repeating what she had been told,
that 1t contained jewelry. On Saturday
morning the colored woman went again to
Mrs. Hunters. Mrs. II. inquired something
about the box. and, telling Mrs.. Osborne
that she ought to be very careful about
receiving such things as they might contain
stolen property, asked il she had heard of
the great forgery by Saunders. The color

read. Mrs. Hunter then requested her TO
take back the box-but she declined, say
