<yTH« Bbidgstox Staox.—To those of oar readars who ore accustomed to visit the city of Philadelphia, it may be of acme importance to know i>«at the Bridgeton Stage connects with the steamer Patuxent at Bridgeton for Philadelphia, At this season of the year, when there is no certainty of gotting on board the New York steamers, this is the pleasantest route that travelers can take, and at the same rime cheaper, including meals kc, than any other. The stage leaves Cape Island every Monday and Thursday morning, at about 5 o'clock, and arrives in Bridgeton in time for passengers to take the steamer in the evening and proceed immediately to Pbiladelphiap wnere they will arrive early next morning, in time to attend to business. Berths and staterooms are provided on board the steamer so that passengers need loose no sleep — The stsge also leaves Bridgton immediately on the arrival of the steamer every Wednesday and Saturday morning. The fare from Cape Island to Bridgeton is S 2 00,

ation. The energy with which that por- ; and from Cape Island to Philadelphia

tion of the road has been constracled, $2 50. gives fall assurance that the lower section

THE BAILED AD QtfEETIOB.

Our readers will sea in the legislative ne#s of this week’s issue, that a supplement hsi been granted to the charter of the Millville and Glassboro Railroad Company, granting the Company power to extend their road from Millville to Cape Island. This fact will be received with gratification by those who are interested in the speedy aaceees of a project long delayed, but now placed in a more definite form, and in a more favorable position than at any previous period. The managers of the Millville and Ulaasboro Company are well known as men of wealth, of energy,’and of enterprise. No better evidence of this is required than the fact that in less than eighteen months from the granting of their charter, the nwd will be in successful oper-

will be pushed as rapidly as the extent of the subscription will admit. The West Jersey Company have entered into a written agreement to build the link from Woodbury to Claw boro, by the first of April, 1861, under a forfeit of one thousand dollars a month for each month that it may be uncompleted after that time.— There is therefore, the distance of thirtyfive miles from M illville to Cape Island to construct, and active measures will be immediately taken to raise the necessary subscriptions to commence the work. We shall have more to say on this subject next

week.

Traveller* will find onr friend Whitaker, the propriety and driver of the stage, as pleasant, accommodating and clever n roan

as they will wish to meet with.

Mr. Reeves called for tha reading of the remonstrance from the stockoltlers of thu W. Jersey Central Railroad Co. agsicstlhe passage of the bill.
