Steam Commuanicati Between New Yerk and St. Petersburg. ‘The steamer Ottawa, from Copenhagen, atrived at this port yesterday afternoon, after a pleasant paseage of fourteen days, with four hundred passengers and eight hundred and eighty-eight tons of freight, The Ottawa is the pioneer vessel of a new linc of steamers between New York and the principal seaports in the northern Baltic, and belongs to the American Eim'gration Aid and Homestead Company, and is commanded by Captain Cavendry, an old and experienced uavigator, well known both in this country and in Europe. In connection with the main lint to Copenhagen the company have smaller steamers plying batween that port and the capital of the Russian empire, which obvintes the necessity of persons desirous of reaching either that city or the leading ones along the Baltic laying over for several days in some one of the Enelish ports, where they loge both time and money. This is the first direct steam communication that has over been established between the Scandinavian: porta and this country and it already bids fair to Prove a sucerss. The Danish government has subsidized the company vory liberally, and much of the stock ts owned in that country. Four large iron steamors are new upon the route, and will leave this port and Copen- hagen semi-monthly, The steamers connect with the Southwest Pacific Railroad, and the emigrants are for- warded direct to their deatination without delay, thus es- caping the system of firecing xo prevaiont among the sharpers and runners of New York.

It is not hard to forerce that with such an influx of hardy settlers as is promised, and nenmple of which reaehod hore yesterday, the gaps made by the war will soon be Alled ap, and the fertile Western lands now lyiug idle will goon teem with a Abrifte, proeperone and happy poplatian.

Major Sommer, Knight of Donnebrog, and Captain Kreigor, of the Danish navy, the comms. stoners appointed by the King, will proceed Weet, under the care of General MeRinstrey, with the emigrants, after which they will return to Finrape.
