An extensive and most substantial wharf is being
constructed by the Panama Railroad Company, which
think looks to the commencement OF the new line OF
steamships between Aspuwai and New York, or rather
the continuation OF the Pacific Mail Steamship Companys
line. II will be a day of rejoicing when this Is occom
