ANOTHER NEW PACKET SH.r.-Yesterdsy, in our

ramoles through the city, we stopped in At Webb q
Aliens ship yard Wenoticed two large ships on the
stocks. One was the Cambridge" and the other
| the Sddons"-both intended for the Liverpool
trade. The former belongs to the Old Line Of Pack
cts, famllarly known as the Black Ball Line. She
is to be commanded by Captain Ira Bursey, at pre-
| sent Of the Orpheus, well known for his nautical
skill and genllemanly department.. The Cambridge
is building under his superntendence and he intends
to have number of improvements, for the conve-
nience OF passengers One of them is to have house
built on deck TO take tho place Of the clumsy, awk-
ward jolly boat that is now used for the purpose OF
keeping the poultry, cattle &c. BY this ar
rangcmen, the passengers Gun have fresh eggs
and milk every day, also fresh meat We know ofno
arrangement that would be acceptable as the above
lit has been much wanted, and never before tried.
The owners intend TO have her launched about The
middle of October. We shall then dwell more at
length on this beautiful specimen Of naval archtec-
tuTe.
NiBLos-VAuDEvI LEs-Our friend Nblo is really
coming our. His garden has gained for him profit
and renown But he stopped not there. He has en-
tered upon new species Of entertainment. He has
brought back to the ancient plays just theyused
to be given in Athens and In Rome. The pieces of
Menander and Terence were very much like the Vau-
devlles. They were and finished representations
Of things as they were and they were played in an
open theatre just like that at Nblo's.
Yet the artists engaged do not work well together.
In Vaudeville not a word-net syllable must be
lost. The players must be perfec, else the auditor
loses the whole spirit of the piece. The bunglng of
Mr. Jefferson in the hat of the first Vaudeville on
Thursday evening was truly ridiculous. Mrs. Bailey
had to prompt him continually. But we hope these
imperfections will be remedied. There Seton
numbering Natz Tieck in the same way. Come,
come gentlemen artists do learn the language ofyour
author.
BY the by, why do the ladies wear their bonnets?
They are not afraid of showing their lovely faces,
surely? And then it would add so much TO the coup
dell of the scene.
Nblo is prince of fellow His fire works, his
ice creams and his fountains are not be oudone in
this city. Success to his efforts.
TIE AFFAIR OF HoNoR-Great inquiry is made of
of the affair Of honor the tapis from this city
towards Canada. The facts are these. Sometime
ago the elder Mr.. Barley, of Broad street, had diff
ference with Mr.. Eugene Grousset, also of Broad
street, both French merchants, respecting some i'm
ported wines, on which advances had been made in
France Mr.. Barley gave directions to the Collector
not permit the wines to be taken out of the public
stores but on certain conditions Mr.. Groussett con-
ceived these conditions UNJUST and wrote a note to
Mr. b. accordingly. correspondence, in French,
took place of some length, but no settlement was
made. AT last, Mr.. G. sent note in English,
ia lining translation OF the terms he had used to MIR.
B. in French. Mr.. B still made no reply. Oneday,
when Mr. B. was on the wharf, seeing off some
friends to Europe Mr.. G. up to him, and insult
ed him in very gross manner Mr.. b. being mar
ried man. and not fighting character his younger
brother took it up but in what form we have not
heard. A challenge given to Mr.. G. who accep-
ted. Both the original parties had been bound
over before the second affair." or made arrangements
to 60 to Canada.
About week since the younger B. and G., but not
in company, set out. On Thursday they were to have
fought opposite Ogdensburgh, the Canada side of
Lake Ontario not with swords, but pistols. Neither
pa rites are married One of them gave his word
of honor to Justice Lownds, before he went off, that
he would not be engaged in any such affair Why did
the Justice let him slip through his ingers7
Today intelligence is expected that they have
fought. The philosophical reflections hereafter.
