GREAT SPEED.

we earn, from an accurate source
that the new steamboat Thomas JEFF
ferson made yesterday what NAV tru-
~ be termed a nm She performed
her trip from Norfolk TO this CITY, IN
the unprecedented short time Of srgAf
hosrs md eight minutes. The paSsen-
gers were here before = O'Clock. and
had time to get snuSiy fixed IN their
quarters before dinner. This MAS the
more agreeable, there being a we'd
ding party on board, who were doubt
less much grafi6ed at moving as upon
the wings Of love" after the unex-
pected detention m Norfolk.
We are Sorry to hear that there l.
not deposition on the part OF the
Bay Boats to accommodate the pas
Sengcrs who go IN the Thomas JefTer-
son. II Is stated en- good authority
that when the Thomas Jefferson board
ed the Baltimore boat, on Sunday. the
officers refused TO take the passengers.
pushed them back, and made the hands
stand ready TO cut the line. The pas
sengers were then put on board the
Boat Chesapeake, TO proceed by wsy
OF Washington City.
In reference 10 the rivalry between
the boats, we have nothing TO saw, ex-
cePt to give vent TO the complaints OF
those who are irstommoded by IL.
The public have always entertained
so high respect for the commanders
Of the old line Of boats that IL Is un-
pleasant to complain OF them: and We
hope good understanding VIII hereaf-
ter prevail, 50 rs 20 obvizie all inconre-
nIencc 10 those who choose 10 take one
boat or the other. The refusal 60 ac-
commodate passengers wiIl have 20
other effect than 90 produce a current
Of feeling IN favor OF the new boat.
