Guilford. corresponding editor of The Coal and
Iron Record. visited New Bedford, and in that
journal of date 9TH May, Is a letter from him. He
says:
In the palmy days of New Bedford, when it re-
| ceived annually its thousands of tuns of whale oil,
large and substantial wharves were built for the
| accommodation of the great feet Of whalers con-
| stantly fitting out or discharging cargo, and there
are still wharves in perfect repair, built with granite
walls, at which sixteen coal vessels, eight on a side,
can discharge cargo at the same time. Since the
| decline of the whaling business, these immense de-
| pots have not been put to any profitable use, and
| New Bedford has sunk from an active. busting. en-
terprising city to c quiet. secluded watering place.
with the grass growing in the streets. But a new
era is about to dawn upon that seemingly fated
CITY. thanks to the far sighted enterprise of Fl. A
Blood. Esq. Of the Boston, Clinton u FitchbuTg
railroad. and his able coadjutOrs. among whom
NAV be named the General Freight Agent, Mr.. )
A.. Weber: and now New Bedford is about TO be-
CONS one of the great tide-water ports for the re-
ception and shipment of Goals.
The people of New Bedford are very much
elated at the prospects before them, and have prop
erly shown a liberal spirit in favor of again utili
zing their costly facilities for the landing and trans
p~ortation of freights. Real estate has advanced in
value considerably since it has become known that
Mr.. Blood's plans would be perfected and carried
into immediate execution
