Departure OF the british Queen and three
Packet Ships TO day.

| The noble steam ship British Queen, will leave
this afternoon at one O'clock, for London under cir
cumstances unparalleled in the annals OF Atlantic Ma
vigation, either by wind or steam. About the same
time, also, the South America for Liverpool, Charles
Carroll for Havre, and Mediator for London, will
take their departure, and nearly under equal circum-
stances. The British Queen has on board the
greatest number of cabin passengers and the largest
cargo ever carried in a single vessel. The agents
here have been compelled TO refuse both passengers
and cargo and they could easily fill the Sirius
with the surplus supply. Including the servants
and those attached to the ship, no less than two
hundred and fifty persons will leave this city in
day and in one vessel, for ''Merrie England" And
By the packets than hundred more depart on
their watery way.
Amongst those who go in the steamer are several
who were saved from the burning Poland two weeks
ago, and who will be- in three days more, nearly in
the same place where that Inflated packet was
struck by a bolt from heaven. Mrs. George Catlin
the lady Of the celebrated Indian lecturer and ira
weller, who is now in England, is also passenger
Besides these, two Russian Engineers of emnence,
the French Ambassador to Mexico, several officers
of the British Army stationed in Canada, one with
dispatches, and MIR. Smith, Of the house of Wads-
worth & Smith, the agents here, so out in her. A
gentleman from Louisiana, an improver on the cot
ton gin, i, also passenger by her. He has been
gased by the East India Company to superintend
the manufacture of the gin in England, for the pur
pose of improving and extending the growth of cot
ton in the East Indies. We hope that one of the
many passengers,wll send us statement ofth guam
tty of provisions consumed during the passage.
The accomplished lady Of Captain Roberts, who
came ont with him his last trip, remains here,

packages for us, not to delay them day after her
arrival here, but always to hand them to our Com
