Northern ana Western Route from New
Ork.

We find the following in the y, Y. Evening
Post Of Wednesday,
The northern route from New York via. the
! OLdonsburgh Ralir1ld, will be a very lmpor-
tant ono 10 the interest of our western mer-
chnis dong business in this market the cnsu-
M season; as, from arrangements made du-
ring last winter, there will connect mt the Or
dnnsDurgh depot, regular line Of ten new
ilrsl-casS prope.lcrs, to run to all ports on Lake
Ene and Luke Michigan, MeSSrS. Crawford Il
/ Co, propretors. This line OF propellcrs, we
are well informed will run to and from this
route connecting with the several lines of rail-
ways and canals, at Cleveland, Sanduskv, To-
/ ledo, Monroe and Detroit and with Mcssrs
Parks q Cos. Northern Railroad line Of canal
boats. steamers and bargeS, between Chicago
and 81. Louis and, consequently, afford most
ample facilities for shipments destined west
ward coming from New York or from Boston
The additional number Of steam and SAL YES
Scs running on this route, must secure large
increase OF business, both on the up and down
! irelghts, and afford more general satisfaction
TO the trade west, than was obtained late last
season, as, owing to the loss of some of the
regular propeIlerS, goods were unayodaby
! detained.
The energies of Mcssrs Crawford & Co..
and all in the interests of the northern route,
Will be given to make this. as it will be, one OF
the most important links for shipments from or
to this market. Early shippers will find de-
cldcd advantage this year over last from the
fact, that merchandise can be forwarded in
about iorty-clght hours from New York to Og-
dcnSburgh, where, after open navigation, they
will meet the regular line ofpropcIlcrs to ports
west. Last season. goods were forwarded by
the Northern Canal lines and required far more
time than IS now had by the express route, via,
the Troy steamers The rates by this latter
route, are not more than : per ton over ordin-
AIRY canal rates on heavy goods, which, to a
merchant, can be of little importance, compar-
ed with the great saving of time obtained.
Shipments, last fall, from New York via Or
dcnsburgh, gave to New York merchants, do.
ing business with Canada West, the extraor.
binary time of five days to the head Of Lake
Ontano-a fact never before realized in the
history OF New York frcights by the old routes
We are assured, that under ordinary circum
stances of fair and open navigation, the ives
tern trade will, this spring, obtain advantages
IN time, not heretofore obtained by any othcI
channel, and at fair average prices.
