By the above schedule It will be perceived that passen
gers going South, leaving New York at 4 % p. m.. Phila
delphia at 10 p. m., or Baltimore at 6 p. m., reach Charles
ton, S. C., in two days from Baltimore, being twenty-four
hours in advance of any other line.
Breakfast on board the steamboat; passing down the
Potomac, in view of Mount Vernon, by daylight.
Passengers arriving in Baltimore by the morning line
from Philadelphia, gain nothing by going on immediately
by the Bay Line, and may as well remain over in Balti
more until 6 a. in., or go on to Washington at 5 p. m., and
remain until 1) a. m., the next morning, as thoy are
obliged to lie over in Petersburg, if they arrive there ear
lier than the (Ireat Mail Line of the next morning, and
are subjected to all the uncertainties and discomforts of a
night on the Bay, instead of passing an iigreeable one in
Baltimore or Washington, without arriving any sooner,
If as saon, at the end of their journey.
Passengers.going to Washington by the train of 10 p.m.,
are taken, if they desire it, by the Company's Omnibus, at
once, without charge, from the Washington depot to the
Potomac steamboat, where they lodge, free of charge, and
may lay over, (if they desire to do so,) with their through
tickets, fof- a few days, at the following places, vis: Wash
ington, Richmond, Petersburg, and Weldon.
Omnibuses are provided by the companies on this Line
at Washington, Richmond, and Petersburg, by which pas
sengers and their baggage are conveyed between the de
pots in those places, free of all expense.

LEVERETT'S LATIN LEXICON,
].ENLARGED AND IMPROVED, compiled chiefly from
i tlie Mlignum Totius Latinitatis lexicon at Facciolati
aud Forceilini, and the Uerman works of Hcheller and Lue
nemann, embracing, also, the classical distinctions of
1 words, and the Etymological Index from Freund's Lexi
con.
The present edition of this standard and favorite Latin
1 Lexicon has been much improved by the transfer to its
1 columns of the classical distinctions of Latin words, as
' given in the Lexicon of Dr. Win. Kround, of (iermany,
and translated by Riddle. The classical degree of each
wonl Is indicated by a figure; for cxnmple, a word without
a figure infMy rln.wirnl and < \rmmian ; with the figures
1, i. and 3, words are classical only in the first, sec
ond, Ac., degrees; ami this dislinotion the student per
ceive* at a glance. The Etymological Index, also from
Freund's Lexicon, has been incorporated into the present
edition of Lcverett, and will be found a valuable acquisi
tion. While transferring these notes and marks, cata
logues were carefully kept of the words found in each
lexicon, which were not found in the other. On compar
ing these catalogues, it was found that the value and im
portance of the additional words found in I?verett, so far
as a knowledge of tin: Latin language is concerned, very
far exceeds that of those found hi Kiddle's F round. The
extensive use of Levcrctt's Lexicon in all parts of the
country, ami the preference which has tieen universally
given to it over all similar works, render its recommenda
tion superfluous; but attention to this new edition is
respectfully invited, as being still more worthy than it*
predecessors of the distinguished favor which the work
lias hitherto received.
