The Washington came up Just as our despatch Of
che news by the Canada, over the wires from Bos-
ton, was completed. The WIS advices are, there
fore, anticipated.
The Washington has made very fine passage.
Tie Washington sailed from Bremen on the I2ih
JuAe, (three days before her appointed time) and
arrived at Southampton on the l4th. This change
in the day of her departure from Bremen was ne
cess,taed by the refusal Of the Danish government
10 permit the importation of Goals for the use of
the American steamers in the river Weser, and
three days extra time was therefore needed to en-
able the Washington to take on board at South
smp,on full supply of Goals. The Hermann will
be similarly circumstanced during continuance
Of the blockade.
The Washington finally sailed from Southamp-
ton on the 10Th June.
We are informed that it was owing to a very
bad description Of coal having been supplied to
tins steamer in New York, that her last outward
passage hence to Southampton was protracted TO
Is days. wherea:, had good fuel been put on board,
CsPt. Floyd asserts he could have gone over in IL
or IL days. The weather was beautifully fine,
and the passengers were highly grstified with the
comforts Of the vessel.
The Washington, on this occasion, brings oae
Of the most valuable cargoes Of manufactured
goods ever imported into this city-the principal
part consisting Of French manufactures of an ex-
ceedingly costly character, including silk and sa-
tin broadsuffs, ribbons, gloves, and almost endless
fancy articles. She has about $50 tons measure
menD Of merchandise atogether-say about 100
tons from Bremen, 300 tons from Havre Uranship-
ped at Southampton from three special steamers
chartered for the purpose,) and so tons of mer-
chandize from Southampton. Many of the cases
of French silks we understand are valued at 200
TO t5.0o0 each, and the total value of the cargo
has been estimated at upwards Of 1000, 600.
These goods yield excellent freight to the ship,
ashigh rates were paid by theLondon sndPans mer-
chants, TO secure freight room a month in advance
1t was stated, in Havre, that the whole Of the
freight room in the Hermann, and also for the
Washington's next voyage, had been secured by
Paris houses, and all hopes Of shipping goods by
many PARTIES was, therefore, abandoned. The
French merchants are prccluded from sending
thcir valuable goods to this country by English
steamers, as the navigation laws now ope-
rate, and the sailing packets being compa-
ratiyely Glow and uncertain, il is only the
hHtllcul stcafncrs tndt arc competent 10 Dflng
thesc French msnuiactsre from the English ports.
The Ilasrc merchants were loud in their praises Of
the newly projected Havre and New York line Of
American steamers, as il was affirmed 1t would
prove highly remunerative to the proprietoTs.
The Washington brings % second class and 90
fIs, cisss passengers. Amongst the latter, as
bearer cf dispatches, is Mr. Joseph Crockey, bhe
United States Consul at Southampton, and agent
Of the steam Navigation Company at that port.
NI. Croskcy comes 10 America, alter a long
abtcrcr Of seven years, on leave, aud, we believe,
his business here is mainly to arrange for an eK-
tensica &C the means of Steam communication be-
twccn New YORK and Southampton in conjunc-
ticu v',h lIavre.
NJ. Crosk,y, it VIII be remembered, was the
org a. protector, with Colonel Mann, Of the New
io-h, Cowes aud Bremen Line OF steamships,
wilich, notwithstanding the mishaps which inau-
guisied the commencement, has, on the whole.
b,tn successful. IN pccuniary point ct view, from
the rgca, traffic which has been developed M goods

The lscnch, English and German ports
