places its durability beyond question, and in
this respect, as well as in volume and purity of
tone, it is superior to anything Of the kind
manufactured in this country. Messrs H. d.,

The four o'clock passenger train Of cars on the
Hudson River road, on Saturday afternoon, arrived
at Poughkeepse about seven o'clock, with about one
hundred and fifty passengers, two-thirds Of whom
were destined to Albany, Troy, and the West. On
arriving at Poughkeepsie, the railroad company
had provided no conveyance further up the river. An
hour so elapsed before any excuse was offered
why the passengers we're not continued on to Albany
as promised at Chambers street, in the city Of New
York, and for which conveyance through from city
to city the company had received their pay in ad-
vance. The reason then offered was that the steam
Armenia usually employed in their service, be.
came disabled in her downward trip, and had pro-
cecdcd to the city Of New York for repairs.
From seven o'clock until twelve at night, this
crowd Of passengers were kept upon the wharf, or
in rum drinking houses, with no fire during the
last two hours, without any information from the
conductor who came mp with the train, or any one
else. how, when. or in what manner the company
intended to fulfil their contract with the passengers.
The conductor was most Of the time In the house,
quietly smoking segars. When asked what was in
tended to be done, he gave sort Of encourage
mcnt, only stating that n Hudson boat; the Colum-
bia was on its way up the river, and might pro-
baby be induced t5take US as far as that place,
and probably to Albany. About twelve o'clock
that boat arrived and the captain distinctly stated
to people the wharf, "that all those who wanted
to 90 to Albany must step on board" IL was
thought by this movement, that arrangements had
been made for our conveyance through; but we
we're undeceived. No sooner were We on board this
cattle craft than the captains office" lighted
mp. and we were roughly told to settle" our fare

was, shat hs had nothing to do with railroad pas-
scsgers, and those who came our board msst pay

from aeyenty-fve cents up to- three dollars fox as
well as the railroad tickets, a which he knew one
to be in the possession of every passenger. When
taking those tickets, he assured all right"
Having encountered this species Of robbery, we
congratulated ourselves upon arriving at Albany at
an early hcar in the morning. Upon inquiring of
Captain Peak whether any arrangements had been
made to convey us to Albany he informed us that
there was none he was not aware, until coming
along side, that the Armenia disabled but in
formed hewould take the railroad tickets in pay
ment for our fare. But as they had been grabbed
from us, could not produce them; and as we
were happy in being upon that boat, and treated SO
gentlemanly by Capt. Peck, several of US again
paid our fare, making three payments between New
York and Albany. Some twenty Of the. passengers
had retained their railroad tickets, and the captain
took them without charging any additional fare.
