Our Steamships.

1t seems to be misfortune attached to New
Orleans that almost every great advantage year.
IL, as soon as gained, is counterbalaneed by
some equivalent disadvantage. If the crops
are large the waters are low, and if the waters
are nayigable, there is little business to be
transacted If something beneficial to the well
fare and best interests Of the city occurs in one
direction, something injurious is almost certain
to happen in another.
We are reminded of this by recent an
nouncement, that in few days two of the finest
steamships that run out of this port will be
taken off, and not again resume their trips
The United States will make one more trip
between this city and Aspinwall, leaving here
on the 7th, and will then commence running be-
tween Havana and Aspinwall The I'll Dorado,
Immediately on her arrival from her present
trip, will leave for New York, and 60 into some
other trade. Thus all our direct communica-
| ton with California, by way Of Aspinwall, wall
| be closed The Daniel Webster, Pampero and
| Falcon, the two former of which ran between
| here and San Juan, were taken off some months
since, and are now in New York repairing.
Much as this state of affairs is to be regretted
| it is unavoidable on the part Of the steamship
| companies For some time past the different
boats have been running at an expense Of nearly
or quite five thousand dollars trip, while their
receipts wereonly between eighteen and twenty
four hundred. henumber Of cabin passengers
has varied from twenty to one hundred, and
freight has been almost nominal. AS matter
of self preservation, therefore, it was incumbent
upon them to adopt thecourse they have. By
its adoption, however, New Orleans loses the
presence Of q fine fleet Of steamers. and the
profits attendant-npo them.
Our communication with California is not,
however, entirely closed. II is the intention Of
the Company owning the United States and ID
Dorado, to put the former vessel on the route
between Aspinwall and Havana, and 50 to ar
range her trips that she shall, at the latter
port meet the semi monthly steamers running
from here to New York. In fact the old ar
rangement is to be renewed--the same that
existed when the Falcon used to carry three
aud four hundred passengers from this city, and
take on almost as many more at Havana. Pas
sengers from California here will go to Havana
