A considerable quantity of mining mn- clilibry Is just now being shipped by steam¬ ers of the Lake Superior line, besides other supplies. Ward's line consists of four Steam¬ ers..

Just ten years previous (1832) tho llrst steamer arrived' at that port in the month of June—the Sheldon Thompson, Captain A. Walker, with United Slates troops on board for the Black Hawk war. Simultaneously there arrived live vessels will) supplies for that port, cugjsl6tlng chiefly of pork, beef and llm r. The contrast during the ten subsequent yours may be noted as remarkable.
