(now on connintonin.)
The arrival of the Great Eastern in New York
I:opposed at a fortunite time for her success as an exhibi-
r Sea. The departure of the Japanese embassy on the day
.It her advent had left a voittortikit, if it had been pro-
perly filled upby tibial sew excitemsst for the goodcitiseas of
Manhattan, scant set lime failed to move most proetabb

It the outset in putting up the price of admisaion at too
high • rate. This felse step has been since followed up by a
'stet of decision and 'Meta on the part of the management
which has told mast preindiMally on the receipts.
The reduction in the price of ashnimion to 50 cents. on ,
July 9, caused a gradual *creme in the number of visitors
to the ship. On the Mb et July the New Yorker were
.infirraed by adrertionnent then the Great Eastern would
rime as an exhibition on the 29th, and that on the 16th of
August she would mil from Milford Haven me Halifax,
' carrying such. firm-clam pusagers as chose to avail them-
settee of her superior accommodation. The certainty that
the alp would only remain open ten days longer induced all
who had defined «mug her to oome brim& The number
of vialoriaimullly Tess from six or levee thousands day to
I &tens SiOgistess thomend, at which point it INISIMaII•41.
Her !nee decks afforded sufficient apace for comfortable
Actosmotion • but the rash down the narrow companions
Florae to tie sass arid paddle engine rooms MN of the
most severe kind, and became eventeally entirely impracti-
cable for ladies.
During the four weeks that the ship was open, some hun-
dred and fifty thousand visitors meat have gone over her, to
an of whom she seemed to be a source of the utmost wander
and eMiefsetion.

The. exclusion system, (agonised by Mr. Jarrett, was
beginning to bring in large parties from various points south
sad west of New York, and but for the early closing of the
ship, would have eventually added considerably to the
asset. It is a remarkable fact that a large majority of the
vidtors to the ship were from the ooantry. Hatieled with
having her amongst them, the New Yorkers appear to have
deferred closer inspection until they have very nearly but
their chance.

Contrary to their find intention, the directors were in-
duced to consent to the/ship making a short excursion, to
enable visitors to see ;the machinery in motion, and to
judge of the capabilities of the ship for ocean navigation.
The point selected was Cape May, the southern point of the
state of New Jersey, at the mouth of the River Delaware.
The number of tickets was fixed at two thousand, and their
price at ten dollars each. The fare did not include provi-
sions, which were provided on board at reasonable rates, and
gentlemen were notified that the only facilities which could
be afforded them for sleeping were =Weems in the
lower saloons and cargo spaces of the vessel. The state
rooms were to be appropriated to ladies. The ship was
advertised to leave New York in the afternoon of Monday,
July 30, to reach Cap May about 8 o'clock in the
morning of the 31st—giving passengers an opportunity
of spending the day in this little watering
place, and to return at six o'clock the same evening, ex.
living in New York on the morning of Wednesday, the Ist
August. Some fifteen or sixteen hundred persons availed
tbeselves of this opportunity of going to see in the Great
Eastern. The ship hauled out into the stream the day pre-
vious to starting, and dropped anchor. Here abe was an
object of great interest, as people had a much better oppor-
tunity of seeing her proportions than when lying alongside
the dock. The excursionists were put on boanl by steam-
tenders on the afternoon of the day of sailing, and after
some difficulty in • getting the famous seven-ten Trotman
amber to quit his hold of tie stiff clay at the bottom of the
towa
rds
the Hodson, the ship got weigh. Her progress wards

All the ocean steamers in port saluted with their guns and
bunting, while an attendant fleet of smaller steamboats,
chartered to afford excursionists an opportunity of witness-
ing the passage of the great ship out to sea, did her un-
melodious honour with their steam whistles as they rounded
to alongside and formed her escort. Two hours gentle
steaming took her to Sandy Hook, where, under the skilful
guidance of Mr. Murphy, the pilot, who came out to
England to take charge of the ship, she crossed the bar
without any difficulty. The voyage across the Atlantic so
thoroughly corroborated the evidence afforded by the trial
Lips, of the perfect manageability of the vessel, that the
sass with which she threaded her way amid a fleet of sail-
ing ships in the narrows was not needed to impress every
one that there is no evolution which a ship of
one thousand tons can perform which the Great
Eastern cannot accomplish with equal speed and
facility. The change from the heat and dust of New
York to the cool bracing atmosphere of the Atlantic was
most agreeable, and tended much to the enjoyment of •
trip which, if it had been properly managed, would Lave
bow vemarabered by all who participated in it se the excur-
sion per ezer/leacc of their importance. The weather had
been magnificent all the evening, but towards midnight it
clouded over from the south-east and became somewhat
thick and misty. Numerous Domes of good-humoured en-
joyment were the pleasant features of the trip. Unfor-
tunately lass agreeable forte remain to be recorded.
. . . .

It became evident almost before the ship got under
weigh that there was ►n entire absence of anything like
system in the artangementa for the accommodation of the
mennimista. The very obvious coone of allotting berths
and state-rooms to ladies only, as the tieketa were sold,
seems to have been followed only to a alight extent. More
cabins were occupied by gentlemen than ladies, and, so a
consequence, many of the latter bad to rest content with
mattresses in the grand saloon and Indies' cabin, some even
attempted to sleep on deck. In more than one instance it
happened that out of the few allotted at the time of lolling
the tickets, the mama state-room was claimed by a party of
ladies and of gentlemen, both of whom presented tickets
bearing the same numbers One case of this kind
occurred in which it is maid—certainly not much to the
credit of American gallantry—that the ladies were
forcibly dispmesseed and compelled to peas the night
on the door of the grand saloon. Mr. Yates
and Mr. Bold exerted themselves to the utmost to
mails the demand for berths ; but with fifteen hundred
eager applicants this was impondble, and all but a fortunate
few resigned themselves to the inevitable mattrms, pitched
down wherever fancy indicated or chance led. An ample
supply of these necessary articles was provided, but being
piled pell•msll into two of the cargo spaces, and everybody
being allowed to help themselves, they ran short before all
were accommodated, and two or three hundred unfortunates
' either did not sleep at all or had to prick for the softest
plank. The very simple plan of putting these in charge of
one or two of the ship's company, with orders to give one
aely to feel applicant, or of sending round an officer to
apemen then who had appropriated three or four, would
bore prevented this annoyance and hardship. The feeding
sormagements failed entirely from inadequate meals of
distribution.
