CoRMoRANT-IC.-The p. NJ. S. S. Co. is fast ap-
preaching the achme of illiberalty. To say that
this company is destitute of every sense of gener-
osty, does not express the utter meanness which
characterizes its operation. The vampire drains
the hearts blood Of the sleeping victim-so this
company, having the travelling public entirely at
its mercy, guts its hungry nav by base extor-
tions from the dcfenceless. By the steamer which
left on Thursday last, the prices of passage, in
Guiding the Isthmus transit, were S2S3 for the
first cabin. S23l for the second cabin, and $40
in the steeragc. Many who intended to go to the
Atlantic on the last steamer, abandoned the idea
in disgust when they had ascertaincd the out

Supervisors at their last sitting stating the pre-
sent value and gloomy prospect Of the income
of the Washington Flume. In the face Of that

gone so foreign, and on such strange grounds in
taxing myself on said 1umc in the sum of five
thousand dollars. that take this method OF lay

for me- by my agent and attorney on the 10th
day Of last January, and who is now authorized
to sell the same for said one thousand dollars
and taxes, they can have the property. in this
make one proviso under circulating report
that this place will soon have its revival. If So
where is the cnterprising man or men that will
delay in the prize, if sucn be the case, that is
now at their disposal. A delay in this surely
should be my privilege to hold, in order to re-
ccive my money paid out TO keep the humc alive,
