Nxw LINE OF LIVERPOOL PAeKrrs--rHE SHIP
RocursrER.-we thought when the Roscius was
launc he'd that ship building could rot be carried to
any higher point of beauty and perfection; but while
on board the new packet ship Rochester yesterday
we thought differently. There arc improv in
the Rochester that we before in any ship.
Abaf the spacious and beautiful cabin is splendid
saddy, saloon, retiring room, which is the great
est Improvement for comfort we have yet seen. IL
IL fitted up In the same style many cabins in our
transient ships, and is contiguous to the principal
saloon. The advantages OF this extra cabin are
obvious. In many Of our packets there is con-
venient place for the passengers to retire In stormy
weather from the coseness of the main cabin. Many
have been the complaints this point, and not until
the poop decks were buit were passengers satisfied.
Now nothing could be better. These Cabin, are de-
cdely more splendid than the drawing rooms ri
those magnificent mansions in Bond street. People
seeing the Rochester will be astonished at so much
beauty combined. Besides the cabin arIang ments
there are extensive improvements for the stecragc
passengers and there are also two large ice houses
so constructed that fresh provisions be carried
the entire passage. The arrangements for the ac-
commodation Of the cows, sheep and poultry could
not be better. Throwing all the improvements for
comfort and convenience in the Rochester, and her
auty. together, we never saw erlike before. The
cabin passengers are kept entirely clear and distinct
from those Of the steerage, which, in these flush deck
ships is impossible to do, and has been for
much dissatisfaction.
This ship connected WIN the HIberna, Captain

notes and reported speeches have never been made

for the purchase of them, and also for their publ
cation. The work is nearly out and all who love

as interpret it, they will attempt TO buy, scare,

persist in claiming mniorty-and the V. b. pa.
