The mail line packet for Cincinnati yesterday,
the O. I. Dumont, left port at lu;3O A. NJ, hstea0
of 10 NJ, as heretofore. 81
The Peoples Line packet for CINCINNATI the ~
Charles, had previously changed her time OF oe,
parture from IL noon to ii A, NJ, and she started
punctually at the hour.
Both lines have now changed their time of de-
parture from this port to different hours, and no
fears of collisions or racing need be entertained,
unless the Peoples Line boats should have the
speed over the others and overtake them on the
way. In that case we would suggest that they
either agree to run on time between points, like
railroad trains on the same track, or else swap
places. Nt
