But the dream baa been realized. Yesterday at 8 oVlock in the morning, the Steamboat Utica received on board as good ly a company as ever left out wharves, bound on tbo first excursion -over the- New York and Erie rail road to Goshen. ; 4 t The Governor of the State, wtUi his Staff, cv il and military, theMayor, and .several members of Common Council were ot tne company the - Judges of our Cotffls, the Members of Congrci from this City, the rev- erenu yiergy oi, various aenominaiiona, w Bairl 'tiie.BanVsl the Insurance , Companies, tliA nhamhpr af Commerce, the .

Transferred speedily from the Boat to the Cars in waiting at the end of the pier, and augmenting our numbers with a goodly ad dition from Westchester, among whom was Washington Irving, we started in two traius for. Goshen. '--. -:..:' . , , -The ascent is abont 60 feet in the mile, with numerous curves, increasing of course the drkft. The Cars, -moreover, were set ao tow down on the frame, as. burdened as they were with human beings, lo press down upon the wheels, of which the; flanges- ground at each revolution into the frame work. Nev. ertheleas, the Steam giants flagged not, and though laboring hard very often,' they tired never, and rapidly did tfaeyj whirl ua. over glen and over mountain through a region of stone and iron but of cultivation, there was nothing; until we had left the Highlands be hind, and entered upon the fertile fields of Orange .. - kr. .-:- a-., . . - . The summit near- Ramapo being gained, there is thence a continuous stretch of road through the Highlands; following the sinuos ities of the "Ramapo river, and constructed. close besjde its rocky bed, of several miles, with a grade of only 12 feet, and singularly beautiful from its windings among the moun tains. " Emerging thence into Orange cottnty,the eye is greeted with' a succession of delight- lui lanascapes, pi , nigniy cumyaieu ,101113, rich pastures, and grazing hrds, that start ed with affright, as the unaccastomed apec. tacle swept past them. Within a few1 miles of Goshen, the road runs over a peat meadow formerly famous for hemp and there is built upon piles driven, some of thorn, seventy feet down into the soil.' -J As Goshen came into view, its whole pop ulation, with that of all the' neighboring towns, seemed paraded upon the gentle slopes near which the Depot and ; tho Rail Koad Hotel are constructed, and amid the firing of cannon, the sound of music,' and the prolonged huzzas of the multitude, the first tram from this City over the If em York and Erie Rail Road arrived at GoaAen arid amid Songs and Toasts and Speeches, the brief space allotted for the halt at Goshen rapidly passed.

CCQtlM ES, v Hie October number, of that excellent work, the Southern Literary Messenger; (says lueTayeiievme vpserver,; contains a.senes of Letters addressed to Mr. Clay, by an (Of ficer of the Navy, (understood to be Lieut. Maury,) in which very powerful, considera tions are at a ted in favor of the establishment of a Navy Yard and Naval Acadenty at, Mem phis, Teon. and a National Foundry at some point on the Mississippi above that place ; with a National Ship Canal to oonnecl the waters of the Mississippi with the Lakes. At Memphis, be says, rteam Ships could' be built at half the cost qf construction la v ished on tbera at the North. Witness the frigate Fulton, of 72Q tons; which cost 0333. 000, or 9460 per ton, whilst the British war steamer Cyciop-of. 1,105? tons cost but 9250,000, or lesa than 9240 -a ton-, her tim bers .too' being imported, chargeable .with heavy duties. ', He proposes that the United States follow the example of France and England, by contributing one-fifth of the cost of as many substantial steamers as Indi vidual entcrpriie'may be: disposed W 'con struct with that aid, on condition that in case of war they should be turned over to Govern ment at a valuation. England; he says, will soon have a fleet bf fifty1 sUch Steam Ships, now epiployed as Packets to New York, Eos ton, dec. but to be at her disposal incase of war. 1 He would have the United States keep pace with European powers in ibis matter, so as, in case of collision, to be prepared to meet them in this hew and most powerfo I species of Naval warfare. ' And instead of the government building them, and laying them up to rot, he advises tjhat they should be huilt principally by private enterprize, and ' employed in commerce, during peace. Memphis he regards as the best place tor building these Ships, as it is contiguous to the Live-oak Iron, Coal, Copper, Hemp, dec. of the West and JSouth-West; From that point, too, tho egress to the Gulf of Mexico, and, by means of the proposed canalf to the Lakesthe two great theatres of any, future war,) would. be speedy and safe. -! : ' ' ' The proposed Canal, besides its ad vanta ges jt cooMnerce, would enable the United Slates, in case 'of , wot with "England, to throw a force at once into the .Lakes, wiUi which to strike a blow that might be deci si ve, instead of hay idgf I o "wait; the tediotis process of building , after ; hostilities f conV menced. t-vt iA-hi k N: A 1 So much for the West., As regards the Southi tho writer has some important sugges tions. . Not a solitary building yard has been fstiiDlisned by Government South of Norfolk! and the one at thai place was established by Virginia at her own expense, and ceded to the government in 1800, 00 condition that a Navy -Yard should he maintained there, for ever. From Virginia to New Hampshire, since the war, more than a hundred millions of dollars have been disbursed for the Navv. J and scarce a dollar South and West, ex cept a paltry sum at i'ensacola. If a Ship on the Weat India station requires repairs, however slight, or loses a few bands by death or deseTtion, she must go to the North to sup ply her wants. i4f va crew- is to be paid' off; 1p the North iroes the Shin 'that thn mm of the improvidentiilors may be aouander - . iigui, ficc. , j 1 ue uut letter, 01 me series pkcetbia)nsttK s strong aihi Jhatwear tempted to copyit entire, in the nope that it will rouse the Siai.mh jh rWMto:?ejl rrhts, bH a consideration of tKe dangfep of their condition whilst in such a neglected state as at present : ;,-- H.iu'-, nn.nt ?f Tf Ma.
