Line will be placed upon our strccts at once, by
BIessrs. LoR1NG & Co.. proprietors of the Mcr-

on King at Spring-strcet, run down King to Hasel,
down Hascl to Meeting-strect, and down Meeting
street to the Battery For the present they will
run each way every half hour.
RAnnoAps.-In oldcn days. when communica-
tion existed between places of Importance through
vehicles and horses, or by vessels, our ancestors
were patient, quiet race, who did ih;nes slowly
Int surely and did we'll o'.--J cling they unut'-
loon. Ircy did not, like tho settlers of Now Am
sterdam, it is truo, when matter was to be un-
dertakcn, seat themselves in their broad brooches
and not attempt the performance of it until half
dozen pipes were smoked out, and just then OBJ
tain cleaning of what was to be done; but the!
proceeded carefully and regularly in all their al
fairs, and their method has been handed down, IL
family tradition, from the elder, as a shining ligh
to guide the young in whatever pursuit tho!
might adopt. At this day, when we look back q
their proceedings, we wonder how it was possibl
men could be satisfied with 80 slow an existence
with such want of energy in their actions, an
such an inactivity in their business pursuits. Ye
we doubt not, they imagined that all they did wa
done with the rapidity which the times required an
called upon them for; and certainly they wer
right in their Imagination, for haste, at that TIM
Baa not requisite in any OF the occupations OF LII
Owners OF vessels satisfied with month";
trims that may now be made every other day, ar
stage contractors run thoir vehicles hebdominal
to places that now are visited in two hours Bal
and boxes which took O month to reach their dc
tination with groat uncertainty attached, now,
q short period of time, are placed before yo
door, almost as surely as the daily rising of Il
sun is looked for. These slow characteristics
tho oldcn time, in comparison with the great spe
of modern days, gives of reflection, al
,oakes us desire to know what has made tt
revolution which is none other than tho mig,
difference between tho system Of travel which tn
existed, and tho hurry, haste, and bustle viii
meets us at every step. Speed, in the transit
goods and tho conveying Of passengers, spreads
activity in every community which has come
lion with such means of rapidly transporting t
goods or persons, and infuses into all around ]
and energy that was not supposed to have exist
-. before and the best evidence of the strength
this assertion is tho relative position of the mon
the old time and the people OF the present da'
th9 formers lazy ways, coming from their " sle
cdlch" system, while our quick, rapid, emerge
h1bits have been made to spring up by the int
duction Of the lightning speed Of the rairo
Wherever tho iron horse is seen, his track is
lowed by q rapid increase of population and br
ness-he can people deserts, and he can fill
prairie with habitations; and all this he can do VI
a rapidity hitherto unknown.
If our fathers had had an acquaintance "
railroads what, at this time, would have been
rate of speed in oil things2 The thought is o,
