TRAVEL FROM NEW YORK TO NEW OR
LEANS,

BY the New York papers we perceive that
Messrs Rowland & Aspinwall have reduced the
fare on their steamships, between these points,
to fifty dollars. We desire to call the attention
of the railroad and steamboat companies carry
ing the United States mail between those cities
to the propriety of reducing their fare, and OF
adapting through ticket to the schedule we
submit, in order that the travel may be brought
over their routes, instead of by means Of
a direct communication between New York
and New Orleans. Why have the steamship
company reduced their fare? We win explain
it. They had no opposition until within the
last month, when the steamers Union and
Winfield Scott were put upon the line. This is
the cause They are not satisfied with making
millions from passengers to Havana, New Or
leans, and Chagres, at enormous rates, but now
wish to drive the new line off by reducing the
fare; and when this is accomplished they will
put the rates up again to seventy-fve dollars
We hope the companies will adopt the following
schedule, and retain the travel on the mail
routes:
