FRENCH STEAMER New York One of the
passengers of this steamer arrived in town yes
terday afternoon and has furnished US with the
following particulars relative to her trip. twill
be recollected that we yesterday announced her
arrival at Newport, r. !.
The passengers of the New York arrived at
Cherbourg on the 18th ult., In the bateau rapeur
Finistiere, which runs between Havre and Cher
bourg, and were landed in the afternoon on the
wharf of that city. When they arrived on board
of the New York, their cabins were not ready
for them, being occupied by the carpenters, upho.
sterers, &C., and consequently, they were all in
vited to dine on board the Union, where Capt
Hebert, with that politeness which. made him so
conspicuous in our harbor, gave them very
cordial reception.
1t was about twelve O'Clock at night, when the
passengers ultimately went on board the New
York, which Immediately left her dock, and put
to sea under full press of steam. At one o'clock
she was in the channel. Nothing particular occur
red during the twelve first days of the passage.
In that time she had very favorable weather.
The only thing which happened, was a de-
lay or two, occasioned in repairing the en-
CINE. The stoppage of the steamer was about
fifteen hours
On the 10Th ut., Sunday last,) about O'Clock
the engineer made known to Capt. Ferraud, that
the coal was very low in the bunkers,
and that he feared he had not enough to
carry them to New York. The captain then
ordered all the tar and pitch on board to be
mingled with the coal in the furnaces, in or
der, if possible, to make the coal, (Which
had been furnished by friend o Messrs. He
rout and de Handel, and proved to be very bad,)
of good quality, and to last to the end of the
voyage this, however, was not sufficient, for
the steamer, on Tuesday night, had but few tons
left, and was in the latitude of Newport. Cap
tain Ferraud, seeing the inpossibility of arriv-
ing in New York, changed his course to New
port, where he arrived on Wednesday morning
at half past eight o'clock.
SO far as we know, the New York has about
65 first class passengers, 81 in the second ca
bin, and full cargo of different kinds of mer-
chandise.
Among the passengers are M lie Marquis DE-
RaJecourt, the president Of the Transatlantic
Company, and M. Dagneao, who comes here
TO be the local agent of the French steam
ers We have been told by the gentleman

the passengers have been delighted with the ar
rangements, meals, urbanity and politeness,
which they found on board of the New York,
and that Captain Ferraud is an extremely anna
bic man.
We know, however, that there will be some
complaints made by the passengers. of the second
cabin who have not been furnished with all the
delicacies for which they had been led to sup
pose they would have had by the mock agents,
who make it their business to collect passengers
in Germany, Holland. &c. SC This is very.disa-
greeable, but the company cannot be responsible
for the false representations made by agents,
who are not authorized to obtain passengers.
Nevertheless, such thing will not occur again,
for the captains know too well the consequences
to themselves and to the company which they re-
present, to tolerate it he reaiter

to his orders, which are not to leave the steamer
before her arrival at her destination -,
The probability 10, the New York will arrive
