cramnsd BY msktnde Of our cisizsns, who seemed
10 vie with each other in Offering up their best
for the safe voyage and speedy return Of their
British visiters.
The Great Western was steaaaing away down
through the Narrows the "British Queeno was fol-
lowing her like feet race horse. The F." Neptune,n
'ne largest steamboat have was between the two;
men were huzzaing, ladies were sweltsrng, loafers
were shouting and sweating, rum-heads were swill-
ing and swearing, black-egs were betting, blue
stockings were debating, silk stockings were dis
cussing and sans stockings and sans culottes were
cutting about between the crowds, picking pockets
anu pisking up unconsdered trihes.''R 1t was a
great Day The hundred thousand eyes sazed after
'ne vessels until distance, which lent enchantment
the view, enviously hid them from the sight OF our
c"izens about Soesck; and then So zoo souls of all
sor's ana shades, compilations and conditions stray

sober, and all in sweat
10 CKAwFoRDs formerly steward Of the George
Washington, is now attached to the Great Western
steamship. This steamer made two or three trims
with steward some one picked up in Bristol. who
injured the culinary of the vessel yerv
much But since the company have engaged Craw
lord every thing goes as smoothly as il did i.
the George Washington packet ship. We feel the
more pleasure in speaking well Of Cra wford
IL Is one OF the few occasions which we can en-
dorse the sentiments Of esteemed cotem porary.
Col. Webb He too has spoken very highly Of
Crawford, and he speaks from practical knowledge
In pralsng the tat steward Of good ship, Col Webs
shows symptoms Of returning sense. He has tried
his hand at almost every thing, fro. attempting to
nog Dun Green, to attempting to kiss victo ria's
hands, and failed in every thing, except twice walk
Ing the length OF Pennsylvania Avenue. He has
tried writing and failed; he has tried fighting and
failed; he has tried challenging and failed; he has
tried borrowing and failed; he has tried to get nte
the Court Journal and failed; he has tried to get
into the Gazette" and failed-no-yes-he failed
even in that Had we a bankruPt's Gazette" in
this country, he might have stoed a better chance
And now he has taken up the cudgels i. fav.r of
eating and drinking. There be shows his sense;
he'll succeed at that and If he copies after Crawford
he'll make first rate steward before he dies. He
can't expect place board steam or sailing pac-
ket ship until his affairs better arranged, but he
can get place at the Astor House if he behaves
we and does not challenge any Of his brother cooks
or stewards. As for Crawford, he is fellow that it
would do q lean man good to look upon. His belly
seems
"with good Fat capon lined"
He is fat and jelly, and capital steward to sail with
because, in the event Of short allowance Of food
he could spare few prime cuts off his ribs and
only never miss them, but look the leaner for
his loss.

magnificent

devlle theatre has . strong company; the Olympic
Theatre is to be beaut6ed and opened in few weeks
