are some up at present, Of the very best descrip.
ton among them, the steam-propeller Hartford,
Capt. LefeveI; the splendid ships Memnon, Capt
Gordon; John G. Coster, Capt. Durfey; Helena
Capt Land. and some other inferior built ships
The steamer Hartford is about three months old
built of sc asoned white-oak, and Is Of beautiful
model. She Is strongly braced throughout, with
reversed arches of inch timber, cross. wasted
with 81 inch braces, fastened through and through
she has also very heavy extra knees. Her main
saloon is about 70 feet IN length, light and airy
with long and WIDE berths the after cabin Is Sc
feet In length, and is very handsomely fitted UP
She has every convenience of a hotel-water clO
sets, &c. Her promenade deck Is about $50 feet
in length and she Is well worth visit from those
who intend to 60 TO California by steam. The
Memnon is so wellknown, that it Is only necessary
to say, she is up tor California. All may remem-
Der that she came near beating one of the steam
ships ON the voyage from this port to Liverpool
The Helena has been in the Canton trade, and ia
a remarkably fast saller. she having made one Of
the shortest passages, between this port and Val
paralso, on record. The John G.. Coster Is quite
a new ship, having made but two or three voyages
to New Orleans. Besides these, there is host OF
other vessels, too numerous to mention
