from Havre on the slst ult. Mr. Lecomte, the
agent o. the company, Herout and de Handel,
has shown US letter which he has just
ceived, containing few particulars.
The French government, his correspondent
says, has prevented the company having their
ships ready in time. This was the only reason
Of the delay; however every thing made the pre-

great many passengers who had paid their pas
sage on the suppostion that she would sail on
the 3lst of last month, had chosen the way of
England, and are now in the United States, but
their places had been filled instantly, and the
number of passengers was nearly complete for
the 10th of jane. The cargo was also very near
ly completed Mr.. Lecomte assured us that such
delay, impossible to be prevented at the begin

happen in this country after the first steamship
arrived here. They will start at the day and
hour appointed. The office of the French steam.
ers is No. IA Broadway, opposite the Bowling
Green. The pier hired for the landing ofthe first
steamer is that one on the East River occupied
formerly by the Great Western but it appears
that for the future the place will be at pier No.
North River, nearly opposite Rector street.
Wese IN the last number of the Journal de Havre
an advertisement OF the Company, announcing
the names OF Its steamers as the Union, Philadei-
Phia, Netc York, and Missouri 1t is now GER
tain that such will be the names of the French
steamships, but which one is the Christophe CO.

newspaper, Con the date of 18th of May,) the cir
cular of the Royal Post Office of Paris, signed
"Conte," in which the tariff of the postage of
letters, pamphlets and parcels, from France to
New York, is published.
The Christophe Colomb, will be here on the
18th, according to every probability.
INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE FROM Albany
We are informed that Governor Young intends
to issue proclamation in day or two, conven-
ing the Senate on the 10Th of this month in AL
bany, to confirm the nominations of the two
judges Of the present supreme court, in lieu of
Messrs. Bronson and Jewett, and one Judge of
the superior court in this city, in lieu of Judge
Jones.
This proceeding is rendered necessary in con-
sequence of the election of Messrs. Bronson and
levitt to be Judges ofthe court of appeals, and
Judge Jones to the supreme court, under the new
constitution. There is every probability that
protracted, as the question of the nature of the
power and extent of the appointing power con-
ferred upon the Governor and Senate by the ne W
constitution, will no doubt be discussed at
length.
1t is said that Mr.. Comstock, member of the
bar in Syracuse, will receive the appointment of
reporter to the court of appeals, an Office worth
two thousand dollars year

are informed that preparations on a grand scale
being made by our civic and military officials,
to give President Polk grand reception in this
