twenty-four hours, to repair piece OF her ma

| STEAMSHIP SARAH SANps.-This fine vessel,
| under the command of Captain w G. Thompson,
| will leave our harbor to-day, on another trip
across the broad Atlantic, and we can say truly
that she will carry with her the best wishes Of
the people of New York, for a safe and speedy
voyage.
Although she is not, properly speaking, an
ocean steamship, the Sarah Sands has proved, to
the satisfaction of every one that she is capable
of making rapid passages, and is as safe and COM
fortal lie vessel as ever piled between the old
world and the. new. Her owners intended her
to be the pioneer of new line of packets be-
tween the countries, different from steamships ge-
morally, in having propeller instead Of paddles,
and more resembling packet ships than any thing
else. They also calculated that she would make
her Western passages in twenty days, and her
Eastern in from fifteen to eighteen, both regularly.
Thus far, the Sarah Sands has more than accom-
plished all that was expected of her. Her last
Western passage was made in nineteen days-a
day less than what her owners calculated upon;
and if nothing intervenes, she will reach home
| in fifteen days.
| In referring TO this noble vessel, the public
generally speak Of her an ocean steam ship,
and very inappropri ,tely. Although she has a
steam engine on board, ii is not on it clone that
she is dependent, it is only of one hundred
and fifty horse power, and is mainly considered
an auxiliary to her sails. Under these circum-
stances, it must be acknowledged that her
last passage was rather an extraordinary one
We informed that she takes out full
amount of cargo and goodly list of passengers.
Another steamer like her will soon be built,
and thus the line be increased.
IMPORTANT TO SHIP OWNERS AND OTHERS
We give IN another column the lucid and able
opinion delivered by Judge Belts, in the cause
of &C The United States vs.. The Ship Recorder,
her cargo, &c. by which it will be seen, that
Notwithstanding the act of Congress of Sd Sep
| TENDER, l847, the productions and manufactures
of foreign State, and of its colonies, may be
imported into the United States in vessels owned
by the citizens or subjects of such State, with
out regard to their place Of residence within it's
possessions.
COOP SALNe.-The steamship Palmetto,
Captain Smith, which had been constantly en-
ployed between New Orleans and Mexico,
during the war, arrived in this city yesterday
morning. in passage short of eight days. The
mail, which left New Orleans the same day,
came in some five hours after her.
INCREASE OF EMrGRATroN.-The followin. ex-
hIbits the increase in the foreign emigration at
this port in the month of July:-
