as SHE NOW APPEARS.
The Steamship Warrington, and the AItsro-
tiOn made In her.

The Steamship Warrington, and the Alssro-
ton made In her.
This magnificent ocean steamer, went outside Sandy
| HOOK yesterday afternoon experimental trip IL
vas ut first intended to make but short excursion
merely to try the vessel her but
1t was subsequently determined to make longer trip,
and thoroughly test her behavior; and 1t was probably
the whole we'll thought OF; shall now know whe-
Their reducing her upper has had the desired Of
feet.
We give in the above engraving, view OF this
| steamer she appears.
The Washington Is now complete In all her appoint
nent and must be exacting In an unrsasona
degree II they do and her accommodations equal
to their expectations Her saloons and cabins fitted up
in style which leaves nothing BIZ desired that is not
at hand In fact IL led to i'm lgine when on board
that he Is In some magnificent hotel Saloons and sleep
ing apartments all furnished with every requisite ne
cessary to make them comfortable The settees, in the
dining saloon, are cushioned and covered with rich
figured velvet and arranged to be easily converted
either into LOUNGES at the dinner table, as the
occasion may require. The doors and other panel
work painted white, and the beading which sur
rounds the panels carved and glded This oonsti-
tutes the principal show Of ornament laid out upon the
joiner work Of the cabins and the effect though simple
exceedingly agreeable to the eye There pervading
every Of the ship that mir Of neaness and cleany
which characteri5es all American vessels from
forecaste to stern cabin deck nnd below, engine
room pantries store rooms Kitchen Offices lockers and
ALL everything Is excessively tidy and above all care has
been taken that comfort be enjoyed by those who
trust themselves for voyage to the care OF Captain
Hewett and his efficient aids But 1t may be well to par
ouarss in reference to the alterations which have been
made in the Washington since her return to urport
The principal difficulty appeared to be that the noble
ship burthened with too much weight above her
water line In order to remedy this defect the houses
which were built upon her upper deck have been re-
moved with the exception Of very small one which
closes the wheel and bnnacle The stables oe houses
etc which the guards fore and aft have been
entirely removed, and only platform now remains.
Thus, immense weight is taken of from her upper
works. and in addition to all this her wheels have been
reduced twenty inches in their diameter.
In the main saloon the alterations but slight The
ladies' boudors however, have been enlarged and great
y improved. The second class cabin has been abolish
Cd and mono taken but first class passengers
room occupied by the who paid the lesser
price found to be needed for freight and has been
appropriated this arrangement gives the vessel
freight capacity of 700 TONS which must add greatly TO
her stiffness
The cabins and sleeping apartments are oil below
deck, safe and commodious Under the main saloon are
large number Of state rooms, which also hand
comforts, marble BASIN with constant supply Of
fresh water BIZ had by turning small curved pipe
cock; these light and be made airy

place for every thing, and every thing in its place"
wine locker of liberal dimensions, sample ROOM the post
Office the clerks office also this deck it is fitted
in appropriate STYLE and compares well with the other
arrangements Of this beautiful floating establishment Of
beauty and good order The large and elegant saloon
which formerly occupied the forward part of the vessel
and which used as loungiug smoking room has
been converted into state The of the Off
and servants Of the ship all between decks well
arranged and comfortable In themselves but separate
from the apartments of the passengers
The engineers department has been entirely reorgan
lied and under the charge of the efficient and
renced going engneersr Mars who 1t will BIZ remem

ment every article is neat wax, and peep into it
is worth the trouble of visit If only to look at the
polished plates rods and other appurtensnces In the
metallic order.
Mr.. Robinson the steward, is known to many travel
ers both here aud in Europe and Is spoken of in the
highest terms Of praise beth in respect to his capacity
and his willingness to perform the duties which devove
upon him. Mr. Ross the storekeeper, enjoys equally
high reputation. Ne lately well known the
steward Of the splendid steamer Hendrick Hudson
the western lakes These two officers have much to
do with rendering comfortable the passengers the
voyage that it is matter Of great Importance that
capable and obging men should occupy these places.
IL.
ngton have altered her appearance for the worse
but on the contrary, have improved it. To the eyes
Of nautical the houses and extra hamper about the
decks Of modern ships appear exceedingly ungany
many and bitter the complaints that old dogs
lately been heard to make In respect this matter Tho
noble vessel rides in all her pride unnc by
this i'll contrved gear. The wheel houses are now un-
supported by the boxes which used to stretch
either side. The spondings hippiug on her sides
rather improves her appearance. They will greatly
strengthen the vessel and make her better winter sea
boat, and besides will relieve her Of great amount Of
ballast. The rig IL the 1t before she
altered as above mentioned. Captain Hewitt is very
sanguine of making the passage to Southampton as
quick not quicker than It has yet been made. Success
to him, and the noble vessel may che prove equal to his
expectation
VERY LATE FROM YUoATAs-The brig Globe,
Captain Burt, arrived at this port last evening
from Sisal, whence she sailed on the 25th ult.
We have received from Capt 3. full confirma-
ton OF the recent reports from Yucatan of the
rebellion among the Indians In several villages
the whole white population have been massacred,
and the main road from Sisal to Merida was
guarded with heavy cannon, to prevent an attack
upon the whites at Sisal
We learn from Capt. B. that previous to his
departure, about two hundred Indians had been
taken prisoners, and were at Sisal
MAINE ELEcTIoN.--The probability is that the
democrats have succeeded to their hearts con-
tent. II would not surprise Us to hear officially
