MORNING HERALD.
WEDNESDAY,. July 81. 1855.
The Extra Herald-The sailing Of the Wri
fish Queen and Great Wessers.

Extra Herald containing all the latest brought
by all the mails up nine o'clock tomorrow morning,
together with all all the markets. statistics and ge-
neral items of valuable information published by us
since Saturday last. And we shall do this in order
to accommodate orr numerous customers who
wish Just such a sheet to send TO England by
the great steam ships. As both leave togs.
ther, it will be necessary to send copy by
each vessel il is impossible to tell which will ar
rive out FIRST and one may reach England day be-
fore the other. This is by no good arrange
ment on the part Of the agents; but suppose,
der the circunst anees that il could not be avoided
and the only way to remedy it, is for those who wish
to convey early intelligence to their friends in
England, to send duplicates Of their papers and let
tiers.
BY sending the extra Herald" which will con-
tain all the news Of this week, up to the last mo-
ment sheet, it will supersede the necessity
OF sending any other paper, and in many instances Of
sending any letters. ether papers will doubtless
follow our example, and issue Extra" as they
did when the g British Queen arrived; but unless
they succeed better tomorrow than they did on Sum
day, they will get laughed at for their trouble as
they did then. On Sunday issued an Extra"
precisely at halfPast ii A. NJ, containing all the
principal points of the news, the markets. the state
oftrade. the log of the voyage and every important
particular. Our Office crowded for three hours,
and sold q, 900 . Extras at two cents a piece
Our contemporary ofthe Sun" issued an extra and
sold 1900 Of Them but the whole thing was hoax;
1T was hash made up of the stale news brought by
the "Great Western" and embcllished with an old
cut bought of Redfeld, the magazine man, which
was no more like the /" British Queen than we are
to Hecuba. However, the bait took; they sold 7,OOO
people bought the :" Sum-" looked at the cut laugh.

THE BRIrIsn QUEEN.-This beautiful vessel was
open yesterday to few vsiters, bat will not be open
for general inspection until her next trip to New
York. We made brief visit to her yesterday, and
found her ALL and more than all, that our most san
guine expectations had induced to think her.
Her salosn is truly magnificent; nothing afoat
exceed its comfort, beauty, splendor and vastness.
The state room arrangements most admirable.
The ladies' cabin is most elegant affair.
We also slept into the lower saloon called the
cafacombs,' and found them remarkably well fur
nished with the exception that they are rather dark
Col Webb's berth was No. "a; il was a very dark
and gloomy one, and must have minded him of cell
"a in the Jail at Brsto hence his abuse Of the
vessel But he had one al vantage; he near the
wine cellar; but then, again, the steward kept the
key Of the cellar and therefore Webb praised the
steward Of the Great Western but said not sylla
BILE about him Of the 8. British Queen"
We saw Capt Roberts, Mr. Laird, and Mr.. Junus
Smith on board and drank Of their excellent Sherry
wine. They all in fine spirits; and Mr. Smith
was full Of life and vivacty. as he well might be at
the realization sf all his fsndest plans for the last
fifteen years. For fall fifteen years back he project
ed the paa Of Atlantic steam navigation on the grand
scale carried out by the success ofthe Bril-
tish Queen A few years since MIR. Guppv OF Bris
toll went into Mr.. Smiths Office, all his plans,
and stealing the ideas, went TO work and got up the
Great Western Company. But Mr.. Smith will still
receive the ho.ors Of projecting and so will Capt

This is but small part Of what is due to Captain
Roberts. The merchants and intelligent men Of this
city must get up a subscription and purchase the
beautiful "Roberts Vase" exhibited in the Mer-
chants Exchange few days since, and present IL
him on his return We perceive that the passengers
in the British Queen" this trip voted piece Of
plate 70 Capt. Roberts, in token Of their admiration
OF him az a sailor and gentleman. Now il the plate
be not purchased, and we think il is not, would
suggest 10 these gentlemen that meeting be called
at the Merchants Exchange, aud resolutions entered
into Tor purchasing the splendid "Robert's Vase"
