NEw surps-This morning at nine o'clock, the
Rainbosc, new clipper chip tor the Ch'na trade,
will be launched from the yard oil Smith and
Damon. She is seven hundred and nifty tons In
size and will be commanded by Captain Land,
who, Tor several years, very spIendidy navlgated
the SPLENDID in The same trade that is to receive
the new shin. The Rainbotc holds out promise,
we should judge by her model, of great speed.
In shs ri time, another new clipper ship, intend
ed for racket, TO take the place of the George
Washin eton, and John r. Skiddy, in the " Swal-
low Tail Line Of Liverpool Packets" is to be
launched in this city. II is said that she Is to be
named the Henry Clay She will honor Harry OF
Ashland she is perfect enough to honor any
man. Captain Ezra Nye, lately Of the Indepen-
denee. is TO command her. That announcement,
alone. is sufficient to show what she will be in
speed.
Another new packet ship, beautiful in every
point of view, was lately launched, and is now TO
be seen at the foot of South street. Her name is
Havrs, which means good harbor, or haven, and
she will always prove 10 be one to all passengers
who wish to visit La Belle France and engage
state rooms in her splendid cabin. Captain Aims
worth commands her, and he is not only wor-
thy man, but an experienced navigator.
These ships ought to be visited by every one
they are ornaments to our mercantile marine.
THE ABSENT PACKETS of our noble pack
ct shps have long since been due at this port and
some little anxiety is beginning to be felt tor
Them. One, the United States, Captain Brltton,
sailed from Liverpool on the 10Th OF November
and the other, the England, Captain Bartlett sail
ed on the lst of December. They have been out
in very severe weather. and the probability is that
they have lost spars, and, perchance, masts. Ihey
have been long time at sea, yet hundreds OF last
sailing ships have been longer in making voy-
ages of an equal distance. For instance, the John,
arrived at Philadelphia last Sunday, after passage
of l3l days from Leghorn
The WANDERING JRw.-This work appears to
be creating great deal of excitement ON the con-
tinent of Europe. In Germany, it has passed
through no fewer than fourteen editions. But in
France it has met with the most violent opposi
ton from the Catholic clergy, and has been inter-
dicted in Cuba, on account of the singular expose
which il gives of the secret operations Of the So
ciety of Jesuits. II affectsto describe q regularly
organized system Of espionage, which is carried on
under the directions of this society: These details
are curious at all events. .D-tU
PACKET SHIP MoNTszUMA.-We find in the Liv-
erpool papers, two brief but braclng notes, on the
merits Of this fine packet and her worthy captain.
We place them on record.
