[N.Y. Tribune]

The steamer America on Wednesday the 7th will make its first trip down the St. Lawrence from Clayton to Montreal by daylight, in connection with the New York Central and Hudson River railroad, the principal St. Lawrence terminus of which is at Clayton. The boat will run every other day, and will shoot the rapids. The America is a new steel boat. The St. Lawrence steamboat company, which operates a large fleet of boats in connection with the New York Central, and which owns the America, is to build two additional boats to be put on the route with the America next year.
