Norwich STEAMBOAT ROUTE TO New
YoRK.-Travelers from the central, northern,
and eastern sections of New England will be
glad to hear of the near completion of ar.
engagements which will render this favorite
route to New York still more worthy of sup
port as commodious safe, and rapid transit.
The new steamboat company of which Josiah
j. Comstock is president, organized with a
capital of 100000, of which the Norwich and
Worcester railroad has subscribed S200,000
is exhibiting truly enterprising spirit. The
keels of two of the finest boats that ever
foated upon the Sound, have been laid, and
in due process of time will be placed on the
route. They will be of nearly the length of
the Commonwealth, with equal strength,
speed, and elegance of build but without her
great draught of water, enabling them at all
tides to run to Norwich. Every regard will
be paid to comfort and convenience in the con.
struction of the new steamers. They will be
warmed by steam, provided with wide, spa.
cious berths, and water introduced in the same
manner as in our best private dwellings. The
partitions will be double and lined with telling,
thus keeping them cool in summer and warm
in winter, while greatly decreasing the hazard
of fire. Spacious wash rooms smoking
rooms, &C., will be provided, and the other ap
pontments, including the fitting up of elegant
saloons, will be in such a style as to make il
eminently pleasure to travel. The cuisine is
to be arranged, it is understood, on the Euro
pean plan, each article to be cooked to order
1t is also contemplated, by change in the
dock arrangements, instead Of landing on
the North River, to land on the East River, al
some point more nearly contiguous to the great
hotels, which will be great convenience to
passengers. This arrangement will also short
en- the trip somewhat saving something like
half or three-quarters of an hour.

"The treasurer of the college has lately re-
ceived from Mr.. Daniel Sears of Boston, q
heretofore liberal benefactor OF the college, a
small and carefully sealed box, with the in
structon that it is not to be opened for one
hundred years, on pain of forfeiture of the
gift which it contains. Speculation is all at
fault as to its contents and the reasons for the
accompanying condition The shrewdest sug-
gestion is that the box holds deeds of real es-
tate in Boston, now under lease for one hun
dred years, but then to be transferred to the
college But let us be patient until 1860, and
then we shall all know"
Commencement week hereafter will occur

the Oxford Cornet Band and about thirty in
vited guests, had an excursion to the great
pond with the long name, in the town of Web

The time was spentn boating fishing, bathing

other seasonable viands. The inspiring strains
of the band, seated in boats in the middle of
the lake added much to the pleasure of the
occasion, and the cottagers on its shaded

unexpected concourse of sweet sounds at in
tervals through the day Everything passed

and the numerous ct cetera of the pos
riders accompaniment, are distributed,
while the barkeeper, ever at his post
is busy in preparing such refreshments
under the broad shield of license for the pub
lie good, as the occasion demands, and without
which the practice of taking money out of the
bank, so common at that day, would in all
probability have been very much lessened, If
it could have continued at all. Refreshments
over, the post now proceeds in a retired corner
to communicate the result, and to hand over
to his customers the balance of money, after
deducting from the amount his fees-whlch'
according to particular rules, were about one
dollar on a hundred of the amount loaned
and if payments were made out OF the loan,
twenty-five cents for each payment, in addi-
ton, was charged so that it frequently hap.
pened that the post would get, say on a loan
of $500, his five dollars, for taking care of the
money, and make some alfdozen payments
amounting in the aggregate to the full amount
of the loan, for each of which payments the
post must have his twenty-five cents more,
which, considering the services rendered,
would certainly save him from any loss in the
transaction, and place him on favorable
ground to render any assistance which his en-
ployer might require, in a subsequent opera
ton. The post must now furnish to his Gus.
toner memorandum of the time of the first
payments and if anything should happen,
must pay the first payment, either out of his
own or some other persons money. The bar
keeper is again called into service, and thus
ends the first scene in taking money out of the
bank, thirty years ago. OLD TIMES.
