Arrival OF the French Steamship Missouri,

Arrival Of the French Steamship Missouri,
from Cherbourg
The Missouri, the third of the French Trans
atlantic steamers, arrived at this port about
seven O'Clock last evening, and reached her
dock at quarter past eight, from Halifax,
whence she sailed on "Wednesday, the 18th inst,
al O'Clock p M. making quite fair passage
from Nova Scotia to New York.
We are indebted to M Lefebvre, the secretary
of the captain, and officers, and one OF the re-
porters Of the journal lie Commerce, for the ioi-
lowing particulars :
The Missouri left Cherbourg on the Isl VI
August, at one O'Clock p. M, and AFTER hei ue
parture met with contrary winds ana s'rons
head seas. On the 18th of August she was
within two hundred miles OF New fork' wheh
,be engineer announced TO the captain that there
xvsra i'm, a few tons of coal remaining IN the
huoksrs The next morning not single bit OF
coal was ON board of the Missouri, when fortun-
a,slv. Al about P. M they met with the BRUSH
r.vsnue cutter. Daring" which gave her assis-
lance and furnished her with collier, having
full cargo of COAL which being transferred to the
Missouri, enabled her to reach Halifax at four
O'Clock on the evening of the 10th.
On the 18th, the Missouri was furnished by MIR.
Cunard, one of the directors ofthe English steam
ers, with all the coal necessary for her passage to
New York, and she arrived here without any
other accident last evening. ...,+
The Missouri was thus but 81 dayson her pas
sage to New York via H litax, which induces
US TO suppose that she could have made her trip
in fifteen days had her supply of coal been suffi-
cient.
The want of coal is attributed to an error in
a.. Co. IL nd ~ IN
small space of the holds. However, the expert
ence of this trip will be sufficient to prevent any
difficulty of the same kind for the future.
The interior Of the Missouri, her cabin, her
parlor, her bedrooms, and her machinery, are
similar to those Of the Philadelphia and the
Union.
