The Stetwaship Line between Philadelphia
and - Livcrpool.
The long-contemplated steamship line
betwe:n this city and Liverpool has at
l o wa been eStablithecl, in a very quiet
s ad unostentatious manner; but it is sup
raated by influences and commercial cora
l-Ina:ions that will, we think, insure its
perrcanence and prosperity. The old line
of steamships was for a time well sustained.
Our importers patronized it liberally, and
the business of our Custom-house was
much increased. But the loss of the ill
fated City of Glasgow, the wreck of several
other vessels on our coast, and, finally, the
temporary withdrawal of all its steamers
for the use of the British Government in
sending troops and supplies to the Crimea,
destroyed confidence in that enterprise, and
rendered the subsequent efforts to re-estab
lish it unsuccessful. Another drawback at
that period was the difficulty of obtaining
outward cargoes. This obstacle, however,
has now been nearly removed forever, and
a proper effort on the part of our merchants
'will erasure for the future of Philadelphia a
}sigh rank as an exporting city.
The new line is now composed of the
Bosphorus, the Gambia, the Propontis, and
the Hector ; but it is probable the present
steamers will hereafter be substituted by
two other foreign vessels, and two steamers
built in our own city, to be called the Fair
mount and the Southwark. They sail
from Liverpool to — oston, discharging their
passengers and a portion of their freight in
that cis ; then, coming to Philadelphia,
they receive their outward cargoes here,
and proceed direct from this port to Liver
pool. The first vessel that sailed was the
Cambia, but a derangement in its ma
chinery compelled it to return for repairs.
The Bosphorus, with a full cargo aad seven
hundred emigrants, sailed next, and it was
the first to arrive, It obtained on its return
trip about two hundred and fifty aeoond
class passengers, (it has no accommodations
:for first class passengers,) and a full cargo
of freight, consisting in part of quercitron
bark, provisions, tallow, oil-cake, etc. The
Bosphorus, soon after leaving England,
had the ill.fortaine to run down a fishing
smack, which sunk, with five of the men
on board. The remainder of its crew was
saved. No other disaster marked the voy
age of this pioneer of the new line. It hal
acarealy left our wharves before the Gambia
(which was speedily repaired) made its
appearance. The tonnage of this vessel is
•
Smaller than that of the Bosphorus, but it
lies the advantage of state rooms and first
class accommodations for passengers; so
that it supplies the facilities which are de
,manded by the large class who desire to
Beek recreation and pleasure in Europe.
Another vessel belonging to the new line
Was announced to depart from Liverpool
last week.
The best assurance of the success of these
steamers is to be found in the improved
railway facilities Width have marked the
interval that has elapsed since the abandon
ment of our former attempts to establish
direct steam communication with Liver.
pool. Gradually and silently, step by step,
little by little, Philadelphia has completed
all the huge labors and forged all the
mighty iron links that were necessary to
ensure her the benefits or her advantageous
geographical position, and to make her the
most convenient and economical, as she is
the most natural, outlet for the granaries of
the Great West.
These improvements have been of &local
as well as of an extended scope. The

s; the development of our grain interest
into such a vigorous and enterprising or
ganization as the Corn Exchange, will all
have a direct bearing upon the tupply of
outward freights. But these are only ac_
cessories of the gigantic and magnificent
railway combinations that have been com
pleted. We have tife shortest and best
routes to St. Louis and Chicago; and, what
is more to the purpose for the object under
discussion, we have now a line that is daily
sending and receiving large quantities of
freight to and from both those cities, with
out a single change of cars. For speed and
convenience, this is almost as great an im
provement upon the old railway system of
loading and unloading freight at the termi
nus of each separate road as the locomotive
is upon the Conestoga wagon. Western
produce is forwarded here with wonderful
celerity. Perishable articles,
like butter
and eggs, are transported almost as
rapidly as passengers. The Union line
requires little or no more time to bring our
edibles from Illinois than an old-fashioned
huckster-wagon consumed on a journey
from Lancaster county to the stalls of
Market street. Cars, loaded with wheat or
provisions in the distant Western States,
need never have their packages handled
until they are placed on board the new
steamships en rotate for England. This is
an advantage, we believe, peculiar to this
city, and one that should be promptly im
proved.
But we have not merely this marked su
periority. The completion of the Phila
delphia and Erie railway, after a long and
wearisome struggle against adversity,
gives ue the nearest and best route to the
great internal seas of our country, and
places in our keeping a key to the vast
Lake trade that has so wonderfully en
riched New York. We are now in a
position to win the prizes; which our
business men of former limes pined
for in vain. We have not only equal, but
greatly superior facilities for enlarging our
internal trade with the fertile region that
lies west and northwest of Pennsylvania.-
It forms One-third of the Union in popula
tion and wealth, and progresses with such
magical rapidity, that it must soon greatly
exceed that proportion. We present to this
whole magnificent empire, the best ave
nues for its extensive travel and traffic,
alike from the points requiring direct rail
road communication and those from which
transit on the lakes is available. Now,
since we have a line of steamships to send
abroad, what can be so profitably for
warded here, we should begin a new era in
our commercial history, and regain the po
sition with reference to foreign trade that
we enjoyed in the days of GIRARD.
Vehicular.
In Wi17449 7 Spirit of the Times, a well
known New York journal, we find the fol
lowing
"We direct `attention to the fact
that an enterprising Frenchman has este
bliehed a number of one-horse cabs, or
coupes, in this city, and that their stand for
the present is in front of the liaison Dora',
Union Square. They take the passenger
for fifty cents to any distance inside the
Eatery and Forty-fourth street, and go by
the hour for a dollar. We bespeak public
favor for the enterprise, and hope it will
be supported, as the only means of escape
from our abominable and extortionate hack
system." Let us put in a plea of the same
character for Philadelphia, where hack
prices appear to depend almost entirely
„ taa• V OS,.
price is regulated
by law, and an overcharge is promptly and
severely punished.
In Paris an elegant glass coach, or voi
ture de remise, can be hired for $5 a day—
the obligation being that the driver must
take you to any part of the city and to any
place in the suburbs, and be subject to your
order until midnight. Next to this is the
eahriolet voitUre tie remiss, the fare of
which is two francs (forty cents) for the
single trip or course; and forty-five cents
per hour ; after midnight five cents more
are payable, and the same if the vehicle
be taken outside the fortifications. Still
cheaper is the voitsire de place; the fare, by
the drive or course, is twenty-five cents,
and, by the hour, only thirty-five cents.
That is, if one or two persons are to be
taken; if four persons use the voitere the
fare is thirty cents for the drive or Course,
and forty cents per hour. After the first
hour, you are charged for the portion
of the hour you may have the carriage in
use, and not, as with us, for the full hour.
There is an extra Charge of four cents for
each trunk or large packet ; a hand valise
or travelling bag is not charged for. The
driver usually receives a small present,
(" povr Loire,") for drink, but this is only
from five to ten cents. The Paris drivers
have the reputation of being very honest,
and anything left in one of the public car
riages may generally be found at the Pre
fecture next day. In London, the ordi
nary street-carriages are broughams and
clarences, on four wheels, and the "Han
som" cabs on two. A clarence holds four
persons ; the brougham and "Hansom,"
(so called after the patentee) carry only
two. Eaeh of these carriages is drawn, as
in Paris, by one horse. The prices are fifty
cents per hour for one or two persons, and
twelve cents additional for every extra
person, and twelve cents for every extra
quarter of an hour. The ordinary fare, by
the drive, for one or two persons, is only
twelve cents a mile. In London, as in
Paris, there is inexpensive and almost im
mediate adjudication upon any diepute as
to overcharge or complaint of ill conduct,
and the punishments vary from fines to im
prisonment, which is accompanied by for
feiture of the license to drive.
'Without expecting that we can realize
the advantage of such low fares as the
above—especially as we have got into the
bad habit of submitting, however grum
blingly, to the excessive rates generally
exacted here—we submit that light, one
horse carriages, like the English cab of
"Hansom," or the French voiture de plate,
might, advantageously be introduced into
all our great cities. If a man has got to
go a mile or two in a hurry, he now has to
take a large and lumbering coach, drawn
by two horses, and must pay heavily for
the superfluity. It is an anomely that
your travel from New York to Philadel
phia, nearly one hundred miles, costs no
more than, sometimes not as much as, your
transit from the foot of Walnut street or the
depot at Kensington to your residence "up
town," which may be considerably east
of the Schuylkill. Light " cabs, " in
which two persons can be comfortably ac
commodated, would not cost one-third of
the present large hacks, and there would
be a great saving, too, in the expense, one
horse being less costly than two. Above
all, the regulations of travel—fares and
conduct—ought to be clear and decisive,
and complaints should be adjudicated upon
by aldermen, or any other appointed ma
gistrate, so as to make punishment, when
necessary, immediate and certain. The
enterprising Frenchman who has started a
line of cabs in New York, will have imita
tore, here and elsewhere, if his speculation
shall finally "pay."

POE7l'llO7 ()Final!, June 2,1665.
MY LORDS: I have the honor to state to your
lordship?, that since the date of my letter of the lith
ult Intelligence has reached this cooetry that the
late President of the scooalled 000 federate Stotts
has been captured by the military forces of the
United States., and has been transported as *pri
soner to Fortress Monroe, and that the armies
hitherto kept in the field by the Confederate States
have, for the most part, surrendered or dispersed.
this posture of affairs her Majesty's (I.3vorn.
went are of the opinion that neutral nations cannot
but consider the civil war In North <lnterim as at an
etd. In conformity with this opinion, her Majesty's
Government recognizes that peace has been restored
within the whole territory of which the United
Slates of North America, before the commencement
01 the civil war, were in undisturbed possession.
Ile a necessary consequence of such reoognitl - di
ee the part of bar Oiejesty's Government, her
Majesty's several authorities la all poets, harbors,
ano waters belonging to her Majesty,whetner in the
United Kmedots or beyond the seas, must hence

the Confederate flog, to enter any each ports,
harbors and waters, and must require any Coaled°.

her ?Noel, and which haling' Complied with the

aby such ports, harbors and waters,

But her Majesty's Government Consider that a
due reward for national-good faith and honor re•
qui es that her Majesty's authorities should be in
wafted as regards any Conostiorate vessels so de
parting, that trey should have the benefit of the
prohibition heretofore enforced against pursuit of
teem within twenty-tour hours by a cruiser of the

her, to remain without the Confederate flag,
writhe. British waters, her Majestry authorities
m,l allow the commander of such vessel to do so at
MS own risk in all respecte —ln which Case ho should

We quote the following ektraet from the Peters

the people in that vanquished and lengnontelited-for
Strong-hold of the South:
It would really be a deserving act of humanity,
were Our citizens to runlet some refreshments to the
Confederate Soldiers who daily arrive In; he city from
Point Lookout. Many of them, when they 1.83,0 h
the depot In Petersburg, are eompietely exhausted,
at.d to these, a glass or lemonade or a little food
from the private mole, bestowed by kind hands,
would prove a meet acceptable and refreshing trift.
in former dots, entire regiments and brigades
going torth to battle, were handsomely entertained
by the pecple. Now that the soldier has fought
throne!' all the battles or the Sruth, and has stiff:red
untold privations In behalf of a cause he though was
right, is he, because he is vanquished and his cause
lost, less entitled to sympathy and kindness 7 God
forbid. And yet we are doing nothing to relieve his
mind of such an impresston. We do not even fur
nish him with a cop of cold water or a crumb of
Weed. Let our people move in this matter, and
form an association for the relief of thetiti MOD—our
kindred and Mends. It will mil, be a temporary
matter, No one will refuse to lend a helping hand,
or open his purse—limited though it be—to their re
lief. It is a noble sentiment—do auto others as yc
would they should on uuto you. These gallant ve
terans are not returning to their homes wreathed
with viotory as does the United States army ' hut,
they are entitled to respect and sympathy, anti both
should be meted out liberally to them"
A GOOD STORY, IF TRDIL—The 09r.
respondent of the Boston Journal, who writes under
the slgnature of "Burleigh," thus relates the story
of Grunt' S reentrance into the United States army
at the outbreak of the rebellion :
Four years this very month, Mrs. Grant lived in
her quiet home in Galena. Her husband was Par.
Grant, the leather dealer, a plain, modest, reliable
man, without much apparent foto°, who attracted
vs, y little' attention anyway. The war had com
menced. The flog had been shot away from Sump.
ter, and shot °moot a rebel cannon at Memohls.
Ohe morning Mr. Grant called on Senator Wash
borne, who resides in Galena. He told Par. W. that
he old not feel right—that he could not sleep nights;
that be felt that he was not doing his duty. Wash
borne asked him what was the matter. Mr. Grant
replied, "I am.doing notning for my country. 1
have been educated at the nation's expense ; but
here I am at home doing nothing. I don't know
'a hut to 40. lam no pollilelan. I don't NM to be
wanted anywhere, Yet I feel as if I were ilt_for
something If 1 could only find my place." Mr.
Washburne invited his neighbor to asoorops,ny him
to I , pringfielci, where an important consultation
was to be it'd at the request, of Governor Yates.
On the morning of the fourth day Mr. Grant called
at Mr. Washburne's room, and said to him: " No.
body knows me here—there Is nothing for -me ti
do-1 am going home," Hold on a day longer,"
Said Washburne. The next day an important die.
mission was held in the council chamber. At Mr.
Washburne'a request Mr. Grant was called in. lie
held an interview with the State authorities 'for
- ‘lO,-ty reibutee, and then went out. As the door
eh•ted. Governor Yates Wad one, "Good God,
Washburne, who is this men 1 I have learned MON
ate' ut troops in this thirty minutes than I knew all
my Ilia. All I can do for him now is to pat Min on
my staff. You go home and raise a regiment and
I'll commission him as Colonel." The thing was
done. The rest of the story the world knows by
heart.

THE FIIICLIITO AT RICHMOND TOWARD JEFF.
DANIES..--il newspaper correspondent at Richmond,
Va., writes : "A marked feature of the times is
the total indifference manifested as to the future
fate of Jeff. Davis. This, doubtless, proceeds from a
foregone conviction, very generally entertained,
that, though found guilty, he will be pardoned by
the President. From the indicate= with% I see
around me I should judge that the people are not
liknly to be seriously Miaow:mad by the worst fate
that can Wail Davi& for they seem toe tell Oil at)•

LEE AND STADIUMS APPLY FOE PARDON.—
Among the petitions received by the President to.
day, asking special pardon, is that of Robert E.
Lee, late commander of the rebel forces, and that
of Alexander R. Stephens, late Vice President of
'he late Confederacy. Mr. Stephens enters at
length into an apOlOgy Or vlnamemon of the adtion
he has taken. Among the reasons which led Etat
to espouse the cause of the rebellion, he ratan to
the tact that the Tribune, known to be a powerful
and influential Supporter of the Republican Ad-
ministration, openly advocated the right of the
Southern people to independence. Mr. Stephens
inferred from this that independence would be con
ceded to the South without war. Re acknowledges

TIMMInve lisamt or A YOUNG LADY, IN Duca.
BIBLD, IYIAOS.—On Thursday afternoon, the
instant, as a train was coming into Deerfield, Mass.,
a shocking accident occurred. Three young ladies
were running by the side of the track, each endea,
coring to reach the depot first, when one of them
(Miss Elizabeth Brown) attempted to cross a stone
bridge in advance of the train, and as there was
title room outside of the rails, ran between them.
Not calculating the velocity of the train, and the
engine coniing upon her from behind, killed her
instantly, mangling her body in a shocking manner.
Her sister got Upon the train at South Deerflald,
and received from the oonduetor her drat tidings of
the sad affair. The uniortanate girl has attended
school in Deerfield for several weeks, going from
her home in Whately, and returning on the oars
each day. Her vivacious disposition and many
lovable traits of character endeared her to many
outside her family circle, and her sudden death will
be widely mourned. Her age was eighteen.
ATMEGIC Of A. HoTab Tama IN PITTS:MR.O.
On Friday morning a rallroad agent, stopping at
the Monongahela house, in Pittsburg, discovered .a
stranger In his room, who hastily eeparted at his
approach. On examining a coat widen hung upon
the wall, be discovered that the fellow had abstract
od from the packet a Wallet containing a number or
railroad passefi and other papers. This wallet was
subsequently found In one of his boots, which had
boon left standing in the room. It contained no
money, but had evidently been searched and thrown
into the boot on hearing the sound of approaching
footsteps. Information was given the mayor, and
the stranger was subsequently recognised by the
railway agent as a man giving the name of John
H. Shelby. He was arrested whllesitting In a chair
to the hotel, and under the Chair was found a num
ber of burglars' tools—severed skeleton keys, an
outsider, etc. He had been apprehending arreflt,
and bad dropped the tools there to prevent their
being found upon his person. He was sent to jail
to answer a charge of 'welly, and on arriving at
the entrance to the jail, he broke from the officer,
but, unfortunately for him, he suddenly rushed into
the arms of the jailor. He had over one hundred
and fifty dollars in greenbacks on his person, and is
supposed to be a professional thief and burglar.
