FRENCH STRAMERs.-I see that the French
Commissioners have some idea of making Boston
the place of their line of steamers instead of New
York, and the reason urged is that they get wharf
age offered for nothing Now it is true they charge
no wharfage on the vessels, but the goods pay
wharfage; box Of tin pays three cents, and from
that to five cents for shoe boxes, barrels four cents
The Boston Packets pay here from fifty to seventy
FIVE davs' wharfage and Nothing for goods it takes
about eight DAYS to deliver and take in a cargo
In Boston the same vessels will pay, staying the
same time, Wharfage for goods from seventy-hvc to
one hundred dollars. Itisknown that our wharves
are largo expense to the City, and the charges SO
light in order to give commerce the benefit. Now
if we charged here as much tkey do in Boston,
the revenue in three years would pay the whole
debt of Croton Waser. Other advantages as to
freigh,s are much in favor of Newly ork, and should
Canard's line send every other steamer TO New
York they would soon see the difference in passen-
gers and freight. wish 70 give beth sides OF the
question. w.
