The beautiful pleasure yacht called C0m's
dEU,' belonging to Louis Philippe. WAS recently
nearly lost In a heavy storm. She left Havre for
Cherbourg, whittier she was goiug Tor repairs and
was IN tow OF a steamer perfect hurricane came
on the two vessels parted and lost sight OF each
other during the night For two or three days It
was supposed that the yacht lost and that all
hands had persisted, but she put in at Deal, and
afterward proceeded 20 Rams9ate tor repairs. IL
was on board this yacht tina, ten lives lost

The American ocean steamer Warrington was
on her route TO Bremen during the terrific gales
that did so much damage to the shipping last week
Fears were entertained for her safety till letters
announced her arrival at Bremen from Southamp-
ton in the remarkably rapid passage OF forty tTo
hours
Another New-York packet ship has actually beat
the French steamer. The American ship admiral,
which left New York on the 27th November three
days after the steamer Ne1c York left, arrived at
Havre on the same day the steamer arrived thus

markedly short passage Of only fourteen days aud
one hourl
Afer the repeated dissppointments Of the pub
lie by these steamers IL is not to be supposed that
any person in England will pstronize this line IN
any shape moreover. soon as the Royal Mai
line OF steamers from England commence their
weekly voyages and the American line to South
ampton is completely organized, there will never
be any occasion for persons here either to embark
by the French line or send letters or papers.
