msnded by Wm II. Allen, Esq, who for many
years was captnin of the old favorte virginian.
ms Waterloo is really magnificent ship. She
being The last built, OF course she has all the latest
improvements in ship building. Throughout every
part she Is perfect and complete. One thousand
tons In bulk, one hundred and sixty feet in length,
with hne promenade decks, she presents to the eye
one OF the finest specimens Of naval architecture
ahoat.
All the cabin arrangements Of the Waterloo are
not only superb, but they are comfortable. They
are chas'ely fitted up with mahogany panels and
white enameed pilasters; high ceiling and rich
settees large state rooms and capacous berhs; and
tables go arranged that the passengers either all
eat at one table, or they form themselves into
separate sets or messes. We saw with pleasure all
'hese nice arrangements for the comfort OF those
who travel over the ocean.
These flne cabins form only one of the charac-
terlstics OF the Waterloo. She has mapy-she is as
complete in her arrangements tor the steerage pas
sengers. They have the roomiest quarters OF any
ship that we have seen. Airy, high, wide, and
clean Is their cabin. So are the quarters for the
sailors they will have fine library, which has
been presented to the ship f; stove to keep them
warm and places to stow away their clothes from
the reach Of the sea.
This strong and powerful ship ought to be seen
by every one. She is now open for visitors, and
ladies and gentlemen are welcome to her cabins
and to her decks. She lays at the foot of Maiden
Lane, and will remain in port till the llth of next
month.
THE STREKTs.-The condition of the streets is
horrible beyond description. Piles OF flIh are to
be seen every wheIe-when it rains the CROSSINGS
are lmpassable and when it is dry, the clouds Of
dust fill the stores, penetrate into every house, and
almost suHocate those who are unfortunately
obliged to go out of doors. Is this awful state OF
things never to end?
Prison REFoRM.-The remarks of Judge Ed
monds. in his charge to the grand jury Of the
ty, before the Court of Oyer and Terminer, in re-
lao1 to the abuses that exist in the public prisons,
will be found OF the deepest importance. We give
a full report.
DANIEL WEBSTER AT THE CATTLE MARKET
The Hon. Daniel Webster yesterday visited the
cattle market at Bulls Head, to inspect few fine
cattle that had arrived there from Virginia, and
remarkably good looking heifer from Chenango
county, in this State. He pronounced them to be
superior animals-equal to any he had ever seen,
and he has met with I" much cattle" in his day.
MUSICAL IrEMs.-We understand that De Begnis
has been offered very muni6cent terms to accom-
pany the Borghese troupe-now at New Orleans
to Mexico. They intend, it seems, to proceed
Immediately to Vera Cruz and Mexico, and to per-
form there during the next four months. If they
should do SO, it would break up the arrangements
which have been in progress here for the resuscita-
ton of the opera in New York, by combining Val
telna, Antogaini, Sanquirico and Madame Pico,
in one troupe We are really afraid that, after all,
the efforts to establish the opera in this city will
turn out quite abortive.
The "Wardens" open tonight at the Society
Library. Their talents as vocaliss have been spo.
ken OF in the highest terms.
