perfect arrangements have been made for the COM
ort Of the younger branches Of families who may
attend during the day. We do not sec how such q
variety Of entertainment can be crowded into the
time designated; but the experience of Mr.. Rich
ings, as stage manager, is q sufficient guarantee
that everything Will pass of with the greatest regu-
larity and order. We wish every success to the
jubilee. not only on account of the worthy bsaef-
clare, but in justice to the gentlemen Of the CON-
nittee, who have labored hard to make this the
greatest dramatic Jets Of the age
In consequence of the demand for tickets from the
country, and the great number OF people from the
neighboring cities who intend awaiting themselves
of the excursion trains, to attend the jubilee, only
certain mum Der of tiskets have been reserved for
the CITY, and We would, therefore, advise those who
wish to secure eligible seats to purchase tickets as
soon as possible They will be found at the principal
hotels and music stores in Broadway.
The STEAMBOATS, ON LAKE ONTARIo-While the
steamboats, between New York and other places on
the North River, on Long Island Sound, and the
neiehborng States, are attracring much attention,
from time to time, the steamboats, on Lake Ontario
seem to demand some recognition of their merits.
There is joint stock enterprise, called the Ontario
and st. Lawrence Steamboat Company, which has
a line OF steamers plying between Lewiston, near
Niagara Falls, and Montreal. There are ten boats
in the whole; and new is now on the stocks ut
French's Bay, as we have been informed. Three of
the boats, which run between Lewiston and Og-
densburg touch at Rochester, Oswego, Sacketts
Harbor Kingston and intermediate points on tie

who are on their summer travels very acceptable,

sand islands of the St. Lawrence river by daylight
-one of the most enchanting scenes in North Ame-
rca These three boats are the Northerner, the
Ontario, and the Bay State The latter is speci
men Of the whole as We have been informed; aud it
is due to the enterprise of the company to say that
more clean, comfortable, and elegant boat seldom
floats on American waters
Besides these boats, the company run An express
line direct between Montreal and Lewiston. The
Cataract and the Niagara are two OF the boats en-
gagged in this part Of the enterprise and they are well
supported by the public. Though the company have
only the summer months in which to reap harvest,
yet they declared dividend Of 20 per cent on

Falls and Lewiston, and thence coast along the
shores of Lake Ontario to the beautiful sosnes OF
the st. Lawrence. From this point ths descent by
Lake Cham plain and the railroad 70 New York Is
easy, and more agreeable trip cannot be found in
our northern regions. 1t may be shortened, how
