The Franklin experienced succession of heavy
westerly gales during the passage. On the I'd No
vember, of Spithead, she passed the packet ship
Devonshire, from New York, for Liverpool.
Among the passengers in the Franklin we notice

The Queen Mab, arrived at Liverpool on 3lst of
October, reports that the U. S sloop of war York

royal yacht schooner Ariel. from ST. Jago. which

The Franklin does not bring large number of
passengers. This is accounted for by the fact of
her first (or tral voyage, and because the European
public do not like to venture upon crossing the
mighty Atlantic in any steamer whose reputation
has not been fully established, until the name
Of the vessel has been some what famarzed TO
them by means ofnotices of succe ssfo voyages, in
the public journals of America and England. We
feel assured that this will soon be the case with
the Franklin. We are Informed that vast nber
OF applications for second class herths were made
to the agents in England and France, and that at
least one hundred might have been secured at a
rate of about 500 each. The fare, however, for
first class, exclusively fixed at thirtytwo guneas,
or G33 IL sterling, seemed to prohibit large
traffic, now that there many steamships
Tor voyaeers to choose from. We fully Of opinion
that If the managers of the Havre line were to
provide accommodation in their ships for one hua-
died respectable second class passengers, At E2o
each, such berths would be foil every voyage This
fact is peculiarly impressed upon us by our private
correspondence, and we believe that the absolute
necessity for such an arrangement will eventually
be seen and recognized.
There is but very small freight by the Frank
lin; but this arises from the autumn shipping season
at Havre having closed, and the winter trade not
having commenced. There is, besides, consider.
Ole competition. In December, we understand that
the Franklin will have an immense freight from
Havre.
To celebrate the arrival Of the Fraullia at
Havre, the principal merchants of that seaport
gave a grand banquet, at Frascat's Hotel, 10 the
commander and officers of that steamer. The

An important notice issued by the Bitch |
Postmaster General, the day before the Frankli1 |
sailed. 1t is 20 the effect that, in future, the Amer

New York intended for Canada, New Brunswick, |

are 10 be forwarded hence TO thcir several dssii-

The German screw steamship Helena Slon ai,
Capt. Paulsen, sailed from Southampton, for New
York, on the lst November, with full cargo, aud
about 15j passengers, forty Of whom embarked 1t
Southampton, the remainder having been taken on
board at Hamburg, the port Of departure. We
understand that the Helena S!oman IA regularly
to touch at Southampton her outward vo. ages
from Hamburg, and that the pro prieiors have de-
cided TO build, in England, three more screw pro-
pelers, OF larger size and greater power than the
Helena Slomsn, with which 10 keep up semi
monthly steam communication between llambng
and New York, via Southampton. These vessels,
IN the w6y OF German passengers and merchandise, |
will prove to be formidable competitors to the
Bremen line Of steamships. The Sloman left /
Hamburg on the 9th, and only sixty hours
steaming to Southampton. She remained three |
days at the latter port, to take in Goals aRd pas
sengers.
