The climate OF East Florida, which has ever been
proverbial for its salubrity and health restoring
quail ties, especially in the tall and winter months has
been thus far, the present autumn moro than ordi
narily attractive. In anticipation offs more than um-
al influx Of health and pleasure seekers into this
pleasant and thriving town the coming winter, &C
commodstions for their entertainment have been
extended and improved. The Burlington House,
which has heretofore been filed to overlooking dur
ing the winter months, has recently undergone ma
nifest improvements, both internally and externally,
and will in the future, hold out more than ordinary
inducements to those who make 1t their tenn ary
abiding place.
The Judson House, large ar1 spacious hotel
pleasantly situated in an attractive portion Of the
town, and recently completed by Nessrs. Day, Of
Damariscotta, Maine, win be opened for the recep-
tion Of guests on the LIST Of December and promises
to be kept in style that cannot fail to please the
most fastidious.
This town seems TO be recovering from the disas.
trous effects of the great confagrati0n Of April

infer that its enterprise an energy can accomplish
anything, and that the town will ere long have re
sumed its former position and standing as the town

KEY WEST, Nov. 10, 1854.
Adrantnges of Key West CoaIing Place for the
California Steamers Naval Mos, &C., &c.
For several years past our leading citizens have
been urging the proprietors Of the different lines of
California steamships to make . depot Of coal at
Key West. Many din ,ulties we're encountered,
many prejudices combated, and much opposition
manifested by rival ports, before either Of the steam
ers could be induced to try the experiment. Early
this fall Mr. Morgan made . contract with com
mercial house in this city for coal pa ed board
his vessels ON their return trip from San Juan. Be.
fore the proper whsrves AMI appliances for coaliny
we're completed, the Star Of the Yves. arrived from
Punta Arenas. TIE platforms on the wharf where
she Icy, and used BY the Isabel, were too low and
the coal went on board slowly. Ten hours we're
consumed in loading, and her detention was longer
than suited the interests Of the company. Since
her departure, inclined planes have been built, and
such alterations made at the wharf ~ will allow the
Northern Light to receive the despatch that Is pro
missed by the agent. 1t is now believed that six
hours win enable the largest boat Of tho line to re-
ceive two hundred tons board, no matter 1t what
hour OF the day or night she may arrive.

same location. A channel Of great depth, directly
west OF Sand Key, has been surveyed by the Coast
Survey, and accurate charts Of IT, and also the ha-
Dor, can be obtained. Vessels from the West save
by entering through this channel. The course is
direct thence to the town, and when one explained
by pilot may be followed without his presence.
We fully believe that the passage from San Fran
cisco to New York will be shortened one day IS soon
