Alexandria Gazette

A NEW ENTERPRISE.—We take great pleasure in announcing that a company with large capital has been formed by leading merchants in this District and in New York, for the purpose of establishing a fast ocean express freight line between New York, Washington, and Georgetown, touching at Alexandria. The steamships are new, of large tonnage and in every respect first class. The first steamship of this line will sail from the company's docks, Pier No. 14, North river, on Wednesday next, and steamers will thereafter leave either point on Wednesdays and Saturdays. As the line is owned by business men, who are interested in property here as well as in New York, we have warrant in saying that the trips will be regular, and shipments of goods will promptly reach their destination.—Nat. Int.
