security holders OF his road to accept
leases Of the Central Road OF New Jersey,
the RoundOrOok and the North Pennsyl.
vania Roads. The leases Of the two latter
companies have been effected, and the
leasing OF the Central Railroad OF New

OPENING a NEW TRADE.
There was considerable Comment, too,
to-day over the sailing Of the steamer Hart,
bound for Port Natal, South Africa. The
departure Of this vessel il Of the greatest
Significance, inasmuch rs 1t is the first
steamer which has ever sailed from this
port as trader. She carries provisions,
soap, -four, oats, barley, tobacco, wagon
materials, carriages, rope, drugs, canned
goods, &c. The growth OF the African
trade with this country has been remarka.
BILE. Nearly twenty years ago it was in its
infancy, but there Is now demand for all
kinds OF provisions and manufactured arti.
cles. a demand arose for agricultural i'm.
plements, which the English markets sup.
piled almost exclusively. Since then
Americans have endeavOred to win part
Of the trade, and the competition has been
fierce and bitter. But American grit and
enterprise are g adually triumphing, as
the voyage of the Hart proves.
