Care of Mails.
Mr.. John A. Ostrom, Mail Agent on the Hud-
son River, says that the Mails conveyed on that
river are always carefully guarded. Our impress
sion was and is different from this. At any rate,
the land conveyance of the Mails between this
and Albany is very careless, as 1t Is apt to be
almost every where. Can any man regard with
patience the throwing down of load of Mail
bags, each of which may be opened in minute
with Jack knife, in bar.rooms, carriage. houses
and stables there to remain all night, as IN the
case of the robbery at Hudson The contractors
in every such case are clearly responsible for
whatever loss may be sustained through their or
their agents gross careessness
We should have given Mr.. Ostrom's letter in
full instead of its substance, had 1t not appeared
in other papers as early it reached US.
- The Packer Ship George Washington, which
| arrived at this port on Saturday from Liverpool

commander, who died on the passage OF Brain fe-
yer. He was removed or the arrival OF the vessel
to his late residence in Brooklyn. Mrs. Burroughs
was on board the ship at the time OF the Captains
death returning to home which is now dcsolote.
PRoF, GouRAuD.-We would coll the attention
of our readers 10 the advertisement of Prof. Gou-
raud, on another page, announcing the commence
ent of his course OF lectures al the Tabernacle on
Thursday evening We are perfectly confident that
the tests Mr.. Gouraud will allow to be applied to
his pupils will satisfy every one that his system cX
hbits the most astonishing triumph over the diff
cultcs Of memory witnessed
THE Observation-Disclosures member has been
added TO the splendid family of our packet ships,
with the above name, given i'll honor of one OF the
richest and most populous counties in England.
The Yorkshire belongs 10 the old Black Ball line,
always famous for its ships, Charles II. Marshall
agent, and is every thing in model, rig, and general
belongings, that the eye of seaman could require.
Her builder is VIM. II. Webb, and she well sus-
tains his reputation, being strong, to use COM
mon expression, as wood, iron and corlage can
make her She is 100 tons burden, and capable of
carrying 5000 bales of cotton. She is l67 feet long,
and 3d. feet beam. Her depth of hold is II feet i
inches, and between decks feet. Fer between
decks is a clear sweep from stem to STERN with
pie ventilation and light. In her cabin she has
commo1ations for fifty passengers. The cabin is
fitted up in rich but simple STYLE the ornamental
work being only mahogany, and pilastcrs OF imita-
ton porcelain. with u delicate bead of gliding to
afford the requisite relief. The credit Of the cabin
fittings is due to lr. Robert ialon The stern win
dows are OF stained glass, with the arms OF England
and Yorks Shire, and Of the State and City OF New
York, beautifully executed by Carse Il West. The
ladies' cabin is forward of the gentlemens, and both
are on the spar deck This arrangement of the la
dies cabin we should think very convenient. The
upholstery work done by Phyfe, and the ship
was rugged BY Clarke & Doran; of course every
thing about the rigging is ship-shape and Bristol
| fashion.
Moreover and above all, this splendid craft COM
manded by Capt. D. G. Bailey and if favoring
gales and bright skies cannot be wooed under such
auspices, we might as well make up our minds to
meet storm and wreck.
The Yorkshire men residing in this City resolved
TO return the compliment OF the naming the ship,
and Saturday presented her with full suit of CO.
| ors and Sigrets and cabin cutlery, on which occa-
sion, the owners of the snip gave most liberal and
splendid entertainment their friends An address
of presentation responded to by Capt. Marshall
in appropriate and happy manner. The health
OF Lord Nlorpeth was drank with all the honors, to
which Dr. Cheaton responded.
Among the passengers already engaged is Gen.
Thomas Thumb who has taken FIVE state-rooms
Tor himself and suite. His father and mother and
Mr.. Barnun, OF the Museum, go out with him.
The Yorkshire has our warrnest wishes for her
prosperity. We trust she has many years of
pleasant and profitable voyages before her. and that
the storm and the lee shore may leave her unsca
thed TO bring safely to shore those who go down to
do business on the great deep.
