COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, MAY H.
ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICAN STEAM-SHIP.
At 1.30 this day (wind W., strong) the Humboldt
arrived in our roadstead with 80 passengers. She left
New York at five P.M. on the 6tb, and has therefore been
nearly twelve ds on the passage. At 1.10 she left for
Havre. The Amayericans say she is a very handsome
ship: their tastes differ from ours, for we can see no-
thing handsome about her; she does not even sport a
bowsprit to relieve her long black hull; but if she proves
to be a good and fast sea boat we will not quarrel with
her about her besuty.
AMERICAN YACHTS FOR ENGLAND.
(From the New York Weekly Empress.)
Tho yacht Maria, which has been lengthening, at
Cape and Allison's ship-yard, Hoboken, was launched a
day or two ago, and is now getting ready for the match
which, we believe, her owners, the Messrs. Stevens, have
made with the new yacht that Brown has now nearly
ready to launch. That part settled, there is a proba-
bility, we understand, that both vessels will take a trip
across to the World's Fair in London.
