STEAMER CITY OF TOLEDO. -- The Detroit Advertiser of this morning, says "During the course of the coming week the new steamer CITY OF TOLEDO, Captain Dustin, will make an effort to reach Saginaw, should her fit-out be completed by that time. During the past winter a splendid upper cabin, with ample state-rooms has been added to this steamer, rendering her accommodations for passengers in every way complete. She is also adorned with a fresh coat of paint, and withal presents an attractive appearance. Mr. Kellogg continues as purser, who, with the other officers, will be found gentlemanly and obliging."
