The People's Line of Steamers.

We learn that a brisk and earnest, competition is now intended on the New York route, and in a fast way of its completion. The steamship America, of 2,500 tons burden, for this side, will leave New York on the 23d of December, and will be due here the 10th January, next. She will stop at Panama, for passengers, and then proceed to this port.

The Retribution, a splendid steamer of 3,300 tons, equal to the Golden City, is now rapidly finishing and will leave New York in January.

The new America and the Moses Taylor are intended for this side. The new Retribution and the Illinois will run from New York to Panama. The length of time that this line will run on the Panama route, is uncertain. One thing is certain, however; a vigorous, able and earnest competition will be kept up on the Peoples' Line, for the people. Nothing has as yet been definitely settled by the United States Government relative to the rights of a National highway, yet our Government are determined it soon shall be. The moment this is done the People's Line will return lo the Nicaragua route, and press on in their determination to win the favor of the great Public to the Peoples' Line. Mr. Roberts is constantly at work to devise ways and means to advance the quickest and most safe way for the immigration of the people to our shores, and that is what California wants we want population, and those who labor for cheap fares and a quick passage will be sure to secure the people's patronage. One thing is certain, the new steamers added to this Line are certain to make the Line equal to any for safety, speed and accommodations.
