NEWS AND GOSSIP

An IMPORTANT ESrERPRIsE.-1t affords us
pleasure to say that arrangements nave Deen
completed for the prompt establishment OF
fine line of steamships Of from twelve tosixteen
hundred tons burthen, to ply between New
York and Washington city. They are designed
in mart to accommodate what must soon be the
heavy transit of goods between New York and
the Great Southwest, it being shorter route
to travel, and a cheaper way of sending them
to take the Great Southwestern Railroad line
at Alexandria than to send them either ria
Philadelphia, Baltimore or Norfolk That is
to say, ria the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and
Ohio, or the. Southside railroad to Richmond
The owners of this new line are heavy capital
lists, who have completed their contracts with
the companies composing the Great South
western line Of railroad travel
Washington city is deeply interested in the
success Of this enterprise, because this being
its terminus, it will afford more speedy and
convenient mode of seward communication
between Washington and New York than now
exists. Its success, we repeat, is therefore
of great Importance to the merchants Of the
Federal Metropolis, and all others who may
have occasion to have freight brought from
New York hither.
The great burthen of the vessels Of the line
precludes the possibility of making their Wash
ington depot higher up the Potomac than some
point on the Eastern branch.
The place selected for their wharyes are I'M
derstood to be Buzzard's Point; to which it
behooyes the Corporation at once to open the
street, that access may be had to 1t at all
times and under all circumstances by District
of Columbia freighters by the line. That por-
ton of Washington has up to this time been
well nigh entirely neglected by the corporate
authorities; perhaps because until now there
has been no real demand for its due improve
ment by them. The time has at length arrived
in the course Of the step by step progress of the
Federal Metropolis when it requires attention
in common with the rest of the city. AS its due
Improvement to meet the necessities of this
important enterprise will be of so much perma
nent advantage to the city at large, we presume
that it will speedily be authorized by the city
government.
