The superiority Of the J. w. RICHMOND,
as sea boat, was thoroughly proved in the
tempestuoUs weather last week. On We'd
nesday morning she arrived here before six
o'clock, and got to Providence, before the
steamboat Providence, (which LEFT N. York
with her,) arrived at Stonnington, where
she was compelled by the violence of the
gale TO stop and land her passengers, and
where she reached with much difficulty.

qualification, and express for her their de-

have been in. The Richmond leaves here

of the boats from New York had been able TO
arrive either at Providence or Stonningtou,
Capt Townsend determined to put into Ston-

of taking the passengers from Boston to New
York, who otherwise would (no boat arrivng)
be compelled To stay there over night. The

the engine, did not reach Stonington until "a
