,,,.- with Mr. Forest, the of the steamers ca
the san Juan for the regular navigation of the Sarr
mimi River 70 commence the LIST Of January. 1854
The steamers are intended to twice month from
Grsvtovp 70 the Maelle Custom House, the Sa-
,,paui. and will, besides tie mail, also forward pas
.epgers and goods The communication between Cos
"A Rica and the Atlantic Ocean, which leaves now
much TO desire viii experience BY this contract great
Improvement and We hope also that the Road Comps
nv. which began about five years ago to construct
road for carriages from the debark8tion at the
poui 70 the capital of the Republic distance of IS
miles, will derive from this arrangement new vigor
ard energy, and deyelope more visible activity
Heretofore tie ssrapqu road has only been practca-
bic for carriages from san Jose TO the pass at Desen-
esno about 80 miles distance. The rest OF the jour
new uu.t still he made on mules which renders the
travelling extremely tiresOme, particularly during the
rainy season The capital of san jose, however,
can be essily reached from the Muele in about four
days. The conveyance by the Sarapiqui rO1te Is IN
cressing. North American importatiOns, OF certain
value especially, forwarded in small boats from
Grrytown 10 tie Muele, and then conveyed on
mules to the market Of San Jose. As the Re
uubTc of Costa Rca does not yet possess any
accessible Fort on the Atlantic Coast and European
merchandise generally takes the long and dangerous
detour around Cape Horn, some enterprising inaao-
snts Of San Jose have recently Undertaken to order
all articles in immediate demand at the market OF san
jose BY steamer from New.York, and have them for
wsrded from Greyown on boats and mules t. the Cap
its Tie native Spectators sad to have cleared
BY this operation 100 TO $50 per cent With the estab
lisfnent Of a steamer line or the Sarapiqu and the
completion Of the road from the Muelle to San Jose,
the commerce with the United States will rapidly in
crease. Among the North American goOds for which
there is general demand, articles of Indian Rubber
ready made shoes and clothes agricultural implements
&c, stand in first in order. The same prohtmight be
gained from English goods imported by way oil New
Yok in case they consist of articles IN Immediate de-
msnd The establishment of steam navigation on the
SaIspiqu is more important for American commerce
On account Of the fact that the 18th OF this month
steamer line is also to be established between the
Western coast OF Central America.
TLese steamers are TO the Pacific Coast twice
month ON Panama to Punta Arenas the only harbOr
Of Costa Rca the Pachc) and from thence TO lstapa
in the State Of Guat mala touching at San Juan DEB
Sur and Keoejo in the State OF Nicaragua and at the
ports Of La Union and Lberad in the Republic OF San
Salvador Whether this line will be entitled to the
Mexicsn posts OF San Bias and Maza;lan, touching at
the IstLmus Of Tehuanepec is still uncertain and will
depend entirely tie success Of the present undertake
Tg. But with the immense increase OF the number OF
CalfOfnians who pass through Central America, and
the rapid progress Of foreign emigration there remains
little doubt that the steamer line the Pacific coast
will coon become a most advantageous enterprise
There is already much talk in Costa Rca OF sending
portion II the next coffee crop to California where, IN
the opinion OF the planters 10 less exposed Ia huctu
tions Of price than in European markets part oithe
Californian travellers will probably IN future be led by
Int nf
in oder TO visit that most interesting and progressing
LeIutlic, where the emigrant finds peace and safety,
tocetler with the most fertile soil, and where, IN re-
rect to agriculture industry aud commerce, he meets
with less opposition than anywhere else. Beside the
buiIess OF lie laI mer, who viii ind IN Costa Rica
letter eaier and more profitable subsistence than ia
any Part of tie United States there are also several
oil er branches which would be sure OF success;
among these rank principally sugar rctners BRICK
