STEAMBOAT TRAVELLING IN New YORK DUE
ING THE SUMNER SEAs0N.-Summer is close at
hand-the season for excursions down the bay
up the Hudson, through the Sound-when the
merchant, the mechanic and the artist are alike
driven by the heat of a scorching July sun out
of the city, to seek some cool retreat in the
country, where they can for while breathe the
pure air of heaven. Thousands Of course, will
avail themselves Of the many opportunities af-
forded them by the various steamboat lines ply
ing up the Hudson, touching between here and|
Troy, to Fort Hamilton, Glen Cove. Cedar
Grove, Keyport Shrewsbury, Staten and Coney|
Islands, to inhale the sweet fragrance of ma
lures garden, and to hear the joy GUS singing oil
the little birds.
Although disasters dire, coupled with terri
BILE loss of life and property, some years agoI
created panic among the inhabitants of New
York, causing them to denounce the entire sys-
sem of steamboat travelling as unsafe and UNI
worthy of patronage, much to the pecuniary
benefit Of railroad companies, still the present.
season promises to be one Of unusual success to|
the proprietors, and one of safety, convenience,
and economy to the good folks of Gotham.
The Henry Clay and Reindeer catastrophes,
which threw so many families into the deepest
mourning and distress, produced, as all know,
strong feeling of unpopularity against steam
boat travelling on the Hudson and to such an
extent, too, that the Legislature were obliged
to pass stringent laws providing for the more
effectual safety of passengers against accidents
by FIRE, collision, or explosion, before the usual
ratio of persons could be induced to venture on
voyage to Albany. The fearful lesson
Taught the several steamboat owners by the sa-
crifice Of so many hundred lives, has had we
are glad to say, good effect, steamboats, never
being managed with so much care as they are
at present. and the public are beginning to
have increased confidence in this mode Of con-
veyance. In fact, the confidence of the public
in any line or mode of travelling increases in
proportion to the decrease of accident.
But this comparative immunity from serious
accidents during the past year, should not have !
the effect OF making those connected with
steamboats, less vgilant or careful in guarding
against accidents whereby loss Of life might
ensue For although there is no mode of ira
yelling during the summer season 80 convenient.
economical, or so pleasant as that by steamboat.
still, if any further accidents Of magnitude take
place, produced as they are either by careless
ness or cupidity, the public will, or ought. for
ever, as body, abandon all ideas of patronizing
conveyances by water. We see no reason why
accidents attended with loss of life sbould
take place. There is no more favorite way Of
travelling, no business SO profitable Or vast 10

THE WANTS OF Our Cry PopuLATIoN-Sus-
GEsTIoNs FOR STREET IMpRovEMENTs-Ther is
perhaps no city in the world that presents
stranger anomalies in its local arrangements
and government than that in which our lot has
been cast. The Capitalization Of nearly all the
business and wealth Of such large community
in, we may almost sayra single line of street,
cculd not fail to give rise to numberless evils
and Inconvenience which are not felt in other
great cities. They will ultimately produce the
.ame congestion which is experienced in the
human system, and which, if not relieved in
tine, prevents the circulation to the extremites
of the vital fluid Whilst Broadway is fattened
and paGperd into plethora the remainder Of
the city is deprived of those natural supplies
which should keep it in healthy activity.
The inevitable tendency of this LEGAL pecu-
is'rty, is to keep rents perpetually on the rise,
and to enable landlords to impose what terms
they please upon their tenants. Out Of Broad
way or its immediate vicinity, there is no bust
ness to be done, and therefore men must pay
for sfice or warehouse accommodation whatever
is exacted Of them. The proprietors of stores

ia. -ation is kept up to much higher point than
thcre'would be any occasion for if the trade and
