This has been busy day for the merchants, as it
is packet day for the steamer Hibernia which sails
tomorrow for Liverpool. | understand all her
berths were engaged before, or in a day aher she
landed at Boston. number of persons who de-
signed to go out in her have been disappointed As
they 90 out in splendid sailing packets Of
the LIST and 9th April, and almost quick, with the
enjoyment of every comfort and luxury necessary
TO make the passage agreeable the disappointment,
may, after all lead to their advantage. An over
crowded steamer under no circumstances, can prove
as comfortable the large and airy sate-rooms
and cabin saloons Of the splendid New York pack
cts. The paeket-ship Ashburton sails on the 9th of
April, and the Europe on the LIST, for Lverpoo and
the Baltimore, Captain johnson, for Havre on the
LIST. All these are splendid ships, have fine accom-
modations for passengers, and charge reasonable
rates for passage.
II seems that Governor Skunk, of Pennsylyania,
has signed bill giving the New York and Erie
Railroad liberty TO pass through small corner Of
Pennsylvania to get round point of a mountain on
per annum for the privilege! As there is somewhat
less practicable route surveyed within the State it
is likely the directors Of the road may conclude TO
adopt it, in preference to placing themselves, and the
public who may patronize their road, under such
heavy tribute TO an adjoining State.
Without wishing TO cast censure upon any State
parties, yet the policy Of compelling railroad COM
panes to pay heavy annual contributions TO the
treasury Of State through which it may happen TO
pass does not strike me as fair or liberal IL is said
the State Of New Jersey derives bonus OF $50 900
-
York to Philadelphia, across the State. To meet
this the directors compel all passengers TO pay tr
he four cents per mlle the price that was
charged by stage coaches after the revolution
airy war. IL may be doubted whether the States
possess the power TO tax persons and goods pass
ing through them. IL would to US, If they pos
sessed this power over transportation on railroads,
they could exercise the same power over rivers,
turnplkes, common roads, and all other channels OF
conveyance. / should like to see the constitution
aty OF the subjost tested. While New Jersey and
Pennsylvana have operated against their neg ghbors
by refusing channels Of communication to be open
ed without taxing them heavily when thus opened
New York, on the contrary, has shown the greatest
spirit Of liberaty, the connexion Of Albany TO
Boston by railway has shown. She has also grant
ed the privilege 10 Connecticut and other States 10
penetrate the State with railroads without heavy
tribute, taxation, any other burdens than those
imposed on her own citlzens Having led the way
in internal Improvements, she has shown no mar
row.minded and contracted policy towards others.
The ship Moselle arrived at Boston yesterday,
after passage of eighty days from Havre!
Friday, the 10th proximo, is fastday in Vermont.
There is no method Of satisfying the whg jour
nails the part of the President He either says
too little or too much In short, he will not speak
as they would dictate. He will not say what would
be most conducive to their plans and desires for
manufacturing political capital. "Tis true, and

A ne,o French papr.-"The Franco-Amercan" is
the title Of new French paper just commenced in
this city. have examined specimen number. 1t
is 10 appear regularly from the 9th Of April next.
1t is edited by M. Rene Massan. Ii is TO be demo-
cratic in its character. IL is intended to be more
strictly in unison with the feelings and views Of the
republicans Of France, and the same party in the
United States; to circulate sounder doctrines in ref
national institutions, and bring the lib
eral parties of each country more directly into con-
tact and into better acquaintance with each other
The sentiments put forth by the "Courrisr des
Etats Unis," has not at all times been calculated to
meet the approval Of the republican portion of our
French brethren resident in this country Its tone
has often made it appear as the advocate of mon
archy and legitimacy, in opposition to democratic
institutions.
The present number Of the "Franco- American il
neatly printed and its articles, both original and &c.
ected, give evidence of talent and taste. The
Franco American" has my best wishes for its sue.
