The Presidential office presents no in.
ducements to me to seek its honors or re-

New YoRK AND New HAVEN RAIL ROAD.
We learn from the New York papers, that the
subscription Of So, 900 TO the stock OF the New
York and New Haven Rail Road is completed.
This railroad is designed to enter the former city
by connexion with the Harlem railroad, and at
the latter city to unite with the New Haven and
Hartford Railroad. This road when finished will
complete the line OF railroads from New York to
Boston, by way OF Hartford, Springfield, and Wor-
cester, the distance being about 236 miles. 1t
will form an extremely pleasant land route be-
tween the two capitals, which will be travelled
in about eleven hours. 1t will have the advan.
tage of passing through three of the principal in
land towns OF New England, besides many small
er towns containing large aggregate population,
and it will present to the view OF the traveller
very varied, and in many places rich and attrac-
tive scenery. The route will also have the ad-
vantage of being composed OF roads owned by
companies OF large capital, each supported by
large local business, independent of that of the
joint travel, which companies will readily unite
in the establishment of joint line, best suited to
meeting the wants OF the public, by combining
expedition, comfort and safety.
