SHIP SAMosET.- Having heard much of late in
| regard to the Superior accommodations OF the ship
! Samoset, Capt. Hollis, now up for California. we
were induced, yesterday, to pay her visit of IN
inspection, and are compelled to admit that
what we have heard has not been exaggerated.
She is 1874 tons register, and 500 tons burthen,
and Is Ieeed in style suitable for such voyage;
1t having been tried IN a voyage to Canton, during
/ which she proved herself remarkably fast sailer
She is but sixteen months DID, and is built of the
best timber, and IN superior manner; making
her one of the strongest vessels IN port. Her be-
tween.decks are high, and very hight and airy,
having patent Portfolios, with Emerson's ventila-
tors, and her beIths are all single and large,
NAB ing 1t as comfortable as passengers could de-
sire. An experienced physician and surgeon 10
employed by the ship; also stewardess goes out
to atten nd upon families in the first cabin. Those
seeking passage to the gold regions would not
| regret a visit to this fine vessel
