at this port, yesterday morning, from New Orleans
and Havana.
She left Havana on the 9Th inst, and took on
board her pilot, at halcpast o'clock on Friday
afternoon. She has, therefore, made the run from
Havana to Sandy Hook In four days and eight
hours-the most extraordinary run on record.
She brings the remains of the lamented General
Worth, Colonel Duncan, and Major Gates.

Among the passengers in the Ohio is the famous
Col White, leader of the Round Island expedition.
On the arrival Of the o. at Havana, informa-
was sent to the Captain Geaeral, that Colonel
White was among the passengers on board.
Orders were Immediately given to the Captain Of
the port. to guard the ship, and not allow Colonel
White TO go shore.
The order was promptly executed, and soldier
placed on board for that purpose; but deemlng it
advisable tosend some one on board who would dis
cover and detect all that was going on, the chief
Of police, in citizens dress, sent on board and
remained until the steamer left.
During the day, number of American mer-
chants and others, natives of the island, visited
Colonel White, and expressed their regret that
he should be detained, and not permitted to go
on shore; at the same time expressed the belief
that the island would sooner later, belong to the
people of the United States. The rest Of the pas

where they pleased. The greater part of the ma
tive population of the island are in favor Of be-
coming annexed to the United States, but not
through unfair means.
She left New Orleans on the evening of the 3lst,
with every prospect Of rapid and prosperous run
home, but owing to downright carelessness and
gross stupidity the part Of the pilot, attempt
ing to bring her to at low water, and in taking
her out Of the regular channel, she ran aground
and renamed sixteen hours.
Alter many unsuccessful attempts, she was
drawn off by the Persian and Hercules, two
powerful steam tugs, and took her departure from
the Belize Light, about o'clock, on the evening of
the lst and arrived at Havana early on the morn
ing of the 4th.
The detention caused by getting aground has
occasloned delay of more than fifty hours in the
time of her arrival at this port-longer than it would
have been, had she proceeded direct to Havana,
where she would have arrived in time to have left
for home on Saturday, instead of Monday.
She brought SIX bags of doubloons from New
Orleans to Havana, and $l00, 900 specie freight
for this city.
She brought 10 passengers from New Orleans to
Havana, and 30 for New York.
She brings no later intelligence from California
the Falcon, ,v,th the October maui. from the Pacific,
not having had sufficient time to arrire at Hapana
,chsn the Ohio left.
The mails will be taken to New Orleans and for
warded overland, by the regular mail route.
The Ohio is advertised to sail again the 18th,
which will scarcely be time to discharge her cargo
and be ready
Her second voyage, we are sorry TO say, has not
been quite SO good as the first. There is one re-
markable fact connected with her last voyage,
that is IN her uneven speed. Both on her out
ward and homeward passages, she made, attimes,
most extraordinary speed. The run from Havana
to the Belize Light was made in A hours, dis
lance Of 5I0 miles. She made rapid run up the
Mississippi TO New Orleans. She ran from the bar
to her wharf, foot of ST. Mary's street, Lafayette,
In exactly nine hours, distance of 1l5 miles,
against two knot current, equal TO la miles an
hour. slack water.
