Portland, nnd New Work sscsmshfpl Line.
1sl From to-day the above line of steamers, of
which Messrs. Emery & Fox have for 20 long
time been the agents, will do their business at
Galt's wharf, and the steamer Dirigo, direct
from New York, will come to- that pier this
morning. The accommodations at this wharf
are more extensive and far superior to those at
the wharf where the business has heretofore
been transacted, and to which the steamers
have hitherto come sn3 d5neIfsib 1isbi ao'
a The line is now composed of the large and
substantial steamers iDirigo and Ffanconia
commanded by Capt. ii. Sherwood and Capt
WV. Sherwood, who have been so long on
the route that they know every rock between
Cape Elizabeth. ii and Long Island. These
steamers make two trips per week, leaving
New York and Portland on "Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons. The trips are performed
with great regularity, the average timoI being
about thirty hours. In addition to these the
steamer Chesapeake has been put in fine order
and ia kept as spare vessel, to be used in case
OF necessity offs sfsdW sRoA4 6a3.fi bA3d
,u The business of this line of steamers has in
creased SO materially that more extensive &C.
lcommodations were required. Formerly the
merchants of this city and throughout the
State made their purchases in Boston But of
late years the course of trade has materially
changed, and the larger portion of the business
is now done in New York directly with i'm
portersi Such are the accommodations here,
both by steamer and railroad, that goods
brought from New York by this line of steam
ers are transferred directly to steamers bound
East Or to railroad carr, and they reach their
destination in the shortest possible time, and
with no extra expense. The Grand Trunk Com
pany has made q contract with this line for the
conveyance of all their freight to and from
New York, for the period of ten years! loi sf
but in addition to freight capacities, these
steamers are handsomely fitted up for the ac-
commOdation Of passengers, aud the many who
have tried the route say that it is one Of the
most pleasant trips that can be made The
fare is fixed at a low rate. there il no baggage
smashing, change of cars or other ine6nye-
niences, and the commanders are kind and at
tentive, while the stewards are Of the most
,obliging character. In the summer season it
is delightful trip, leaving here in the after
noon, and the next day. threading up from
! Cape Cod to Long Island Sound, arriving in
New York early On the following morning. TO
those who like a pleasant, short sea trip, we
commend the Portland & New York steamers
This line has been Of great benefit, not only
to ourDity, but to the whole State, and 1t hard
ly needs word of commentator from US.
Messrs. Emery g. Fox, the gentlemanly agents,
still continue in the management of the bust
ness. ---- -. --LLLLI L-..LL
