LATE VOYAGE OF THE GREAT WEsrERN-Th.
BUBBLES OF BRuNRN.-The last trip of the Grea
Western has been made the subject Of good des
OF conversation and spirited discussion for the pas
week. II was one of the most singular trips she eve
both from the extraordinary number OF her pas
sengers, and the still more strange fact that some o
them were dissatisfied. Among such number of sea
going travellers, some OF whom, perhaps, neve
were there before in such trim, il IS not sur
prlslng, however, that rough and contrary winds
tempestuous waves, hazy skies, and seasckness
would perplex and dsquet dozen SO, and cause
| difference of opinion between them and the "con
tents" But we will let the n-contents speak fol
themselves Here is their card:-

can rightly accommodate upon smooth passage, or
save accident should make 1t necessary to take to
the boats which upor the present voyage they think
would been found inadequate for the safety of
many.
In closing to the owners and agents will say and
we use the language deliberately that towards those of
who had taken their passages regularly and paid for

lie IN writing the above. Mr.. Hughes would natu-

cratic salons, where he has been sporting his figure
in Europe for many years, to the comparatively and
positively less luxurious dtme,vs on board steam

his sense of discomfort, and write letter about II

be by no means strengthened by the following test-

The pleasantest part OF the thing s, that we find,
IN some cases, the same names attached to both
documents, which proves, clearly, NEST praise.
worthy desire TO be the right side, else, that
through the lingering and pertinaclous assault OF
that common enemy, sea sickness, they had not
been restored to perfect equanlmity and sefposses-
sion. But, independent of these conectures, there
is one thing certain, that if passengers are SO dis
posed, there is no better opportunity, in all crea
ton, than DO sterous voyage for getting out O.
temper with themselves, and the entire earthly
GLOBE not forgetting the moon for causing erroneous
lunar observations, and the polar star for leading
them astray. On democratic principles, Captain
M. carries his case by a majority of nearly ten to
one-or 100 contents, and IA non-contents. Few
voyages made with so few grumbers.
SUBURBAN RETREATS Amongst all the other
blessings vouchsafed to New Workers. the variety
and beauty Of our suburban retreats constitutes not
the least valuable. Who has not heard of Hobo
ken-its shady walks-its fine old trees-its swell
ing hills carpeted with the rich green sward-
its romantic clifs-its natural panorama of the
bay, the river and the city! New and elegant
boats have been placed on the ferry-a splendid
hotel has risen, like the palace of Aladdin, at the
landing-Schwartz's Cottage is more inviting than
ever, and altogether Hoboken affords one of the
most delightful lounges in the morning, or in the
calm and pleasant evende, that weary sinner
could desire.
The Abbey" on the Boomingdale road is one Of
the most charming retreats In the neighborhood o.

giant style, is approached by broad avenue lined by
MAGNIFICENT trees. whose yenerahls ARM no and
