SrRANGERs.-Our town during the
present season, has been visited by a
great number Of Strangers from the
South and West, and other sections of
the country, who have repaired hithcr
for the benefit of health and cool air
very nearly if not quito as many, we
believe, as during any former year
since Newport has become lashiona-
bic summer resort. But a mistaken
notion has prevailed to some extent in
relation to our being very much crO'r-
dcd, insomuch that accopmodations
could not be had, arising undoubtedly
from tho fact that n few of the most
prominent houses have been occasion
ally GHod. 1t has been suggested to us
that several very respectable boarding
houses in town and on the Island, have
at no timo during the season been
"fillcd to ovcrnowing,' as has been
frequently represented, and that many
more might have been accommodated
who would have gladly sojourncd with
us, had they not been led to seek n
retreat elsewhere, under the impression,
derived from vague report, that every
house was full. We do not consider,
however, that blame can be Justly at
tachcd to any one for stating what they
believe to he our actual situation on
that head. The fact is, those who are
more Immediately interested and pre-
pared to accommodate visitors, should
take little more pains (thc expense Of
which would hardly be worth naming,
TO acquaint the public of their readiness
and ability to serve thcm--by printed
cards or advertisements in the newspa-
pcrs--cithcr mode being essentially re-
1uisitc rs well as benciicial-morep par
ticularly the latter. The fault, there
fore, it will be seen lies principally will
them. The remedy, in our view, Is
altogether an available one.

RAcING.-Wc are. happy to notice
in the Providence papers Card, from
the proprictors of the new and swift
steamboat John w. Richmond, in which
they pledge themselves to tho public,
that i'm the operation of that boat no ci-
fort for trial Of speed with any other
boat, shall bc.pcrmitted. This we think
highly commcndablc, and VIC cannot
doubt it will be strictly adhered to on
the part of her excellent commander,
Capt. Townsend, who has for some
years past, had much experience in
this arduous business.
We hope the same prudence and attcn-
lion will continue to be observed by the
boats Of the old line also, as have al
ways been manifested by them to guard
against the calamities so often resulting
= from imprudcnt racing, and desire to
gain name for great speed. The old
line has ever been remarkably fortu-
nate in this particular to say the least,
and whatever may be said as to its be-
ing an Outrageous monopoly concern, }"
sc. sc. it must be acknowledged, has
accommodated the public for many
years with the best and safest boats that
have navigatcd any waters in the world
and if they have been somewhat cx-
travagant heretofore, as many pretend
in their prices, and arc now compelled
TO yield to fair competition, let them
not be deprived Of any Of the lau-
rcls they are justly entitled TO, as re-
CARDS safety, accommodations, skillul
commanders, and punctuality in the per-
formancc ofthcir engagements. "Givc
the dell his due" is an old saying, and
n very good one. We hope the boats
will all do well, so long as they arc de-
serving public patronagc-but of that
we leave the public to decide for them
selves, in accordance with their own
prcconccivcd notions, prcjudiccs and
preferences.

The Great Western is again on the ocean.
She sailed from New York on Thursday ai-
ternoon during heavy rain storm. Her de-
parture is thus noticed by the Evening Stdr.
The GREAT WESTERN steam ship took her
departure at half past 4 yesterday afternoon
in fine stye-in spite OF the stiff blow from
South by East, much rain and dirty looking
weather, all of which detained the packets in
port. She came round from the East River
with her British, American and French col
ors at mast head, and moved with great ele-
gance her quarter deck covered with passcn-
gers, and her hull scarcely having the ap-
pearance Of being sunk at all in the water
On the Battery there were thousands col.
lected to see her cleaving so swiftly through
a head wind directly in her teeth, and (for
our bay) heavy sea that was constantly
splashing up its breakers on the Battery Ter.
race. As she went up the river past the
Battery shc fired a gun, then rounded the
two French vessels, the Didon hosting the
British ensign, when the Great Western fired
again and was answered by the irigatc. She
now proceeded onward with great beauty
down the bay on her course to tho sea, fol.
lowed by the Passaic and one or two other
StcdihcIS CIoWucu Will PusScHpcTS. He
Great Western us she passed the Didon gave
an opportunity of comparing her length, which
is some 10 to Is feet longer than that large
sized frigatc. Every one was struck with
the steady movement and handsome appear
ance of the steam ship, as sho was seen to
great advantage, by every object looming up
stronger and brighter from the humid state Of
the atmosphere. She carried eG'passengers,
and her letter postage amounts TO $4,000.
