CoASTwlsE OCEAN STEAMERs.-According to the
Boston Advertiser, the new steamer s. r.. Spduld-
ing, which was recently withdrawn from the Bati-
more and Providence line, has been placed upon
the line between Boston and Savannah. line of
steamers from Boston to Charleston is also TO be
opened during this summer. Looking to the happy
effects which this Increase of business facilities is
destined to produce upon the trade of Boston, the
Advertiser says:
at is only the want of such facilities that has
kept us heretofore from seeming to hold, in the
view of the South, that prominent place as bust
ness centre to which we are fairly entitled, and
we cannot doubt that the perfection of the system
ofconnections of which we speak, will now enable
our city to take its proper position, with great
advantage to all its business interests, and especial
ly to those whose enterprise is now bringing US
into regular communication with Southern COM
mercial cities"
We commend the above remarks to the attention
of the merchants and business men of this city, to
whom their practical application would be found
equally beneficial.
