sit is proposed to run line of Steamers
from New York to Vera Cruz, and from this
point to cross over by land and water to the
Pacifc-from Vera Cruz by one fthe national
roads of Mexico to Puebla, and thence,
leaving the city Of Mexico to the north,
in westerly line, to Coacualco on the Mesca-
la river two hundred and ten miles, and thence
by steamers down said river four hundred
and fifty nine miles to its mouth, where
it is known as the Zacatula river; thence by
steamships to San Francisco. By this route
the distance to San Francisco from New York
is nearly two Thousand miles less than by the
Panama route, and some five hundred miles
shorter than the Tehuantepec. A still more
important con sideration is the question oftime
The company, by this new route, calculate on
making the trip between New York and San
Francisco in sixteen days. The shortest time.
made by the Nicaragua route is twenty six days
and sixteen hours, and by the Panama route
within a fraction of twenty six days, al
though the distance via Nicaragua is at least a
thousand miles less than by way of Panama.
The Company organised for the purpose Of
putting this route in operation is styled ''the
Mexican Ocean Mail and Inland Company
and was incorporated by the New Y DIRK Legis-
lature in July last Its capital stock is $780,

vernment the exclusive right of way by this
route, and also the exclusive right to the trans
portation of all foreign mails across the Republic
of Mexico for fifteen years.

the river, in an almost northerly direction, to

navigation, affording three feet in the depth of

largest ocean steamers in the rainy season.
This river, at Puebla, is called the Atoyoc, and

MIR. WEBSTER.

MIR. Webster has been fully and formally an
nounced by his political adherents IN the city OF
New Y ork as candidate for the Presidency
The nomination is addressed to the people of
the q. States. but made subject to a ratification
of the Wing National Convention. We have
already expressed our preference for MIR. Fill
more, but we are not on that account less prompt
to acknowledge Mr. Webster's great qualfca-
tions for the office, the immense value of his
public services, and the validity of his claims to
the confidence and the gratitude of his country
men. The nomination of Mr.. Webster would
impart highly intellectual cast to the strug-
gle In order fully to illustrate his career and set
forth in becoming colours what he has Thought
and done," it would be necessary for our public
speakers and public journalists to exert de-
gree of industry which the nomination of any
other candidate would not call forth. Since he
eutered upon the political arena he has been a
busy actor in its busiest scenes. Wherever the
storm was the loudest, or the battle fercest,
there Mr. lobster has always been found
He has been present at two crises in the history
of his country, and on both occasions, as the
splendid record of his oratory shows, he was the
principal actor. Modification did not perish till
smote by his enormous club. We all know
that at the time that he rose in the Senate to
deliver his speech in relation to the agitation
which grew out of the slavery troubles, that all
in that throngng audience felt as though the
Union hung upon the trembling balance OF a
word, and looked into his grave countenance as
though he were about to pronounce the oracles
of fate. That solemn scene has often rose be-
fore our imagination with the great actor, butal-
ways as Swallowed forth by the greatest of Eng
fish bards, whose imagination seemed to have
broke loose from the present, and soaring far
into the regions of the future, to have caug ht
the shadow of our orator.

Aspect he rose and in his rising seem'd
A pillar of State: Deep on his front engraven,
Deliberation sat and public care;
And princely counselin his face yet shone,
