AHoTnER New SrEAMBoAr.-The Albany At
las of Saturday thus speaks of the forthcoming
rival to The Empire
The Peoples Line seems determined not to
be outdone IN placing new and splendid Steam,
boats upon the river. Their new boat, the CIR.
ARAcr' takes her station iii the above line about
the middle of June. She is $40 feet in length.
draws four feet of water, and is considered the
best modcicd boat ever launched. Her accom-
inodatons, decorations, &c. will be IN the same
style OF spIcndor and libcr.!ity which has gained
Tor Their boats such wide spread reputation.
Her machinery Is that which propelled the old
and tme-honored De Witt Clinton, and some idea
can be formed OF her intended speed from the
tact that she IS calculated to make the passage
from Albany 10 New Yorl1 one hour quicker than
the South America. She is to be under the com.
mand OF Capt. \. P. Sr. john, OF whom we can
add little IN praise, for he has been in the Roches
ter since she was first built
