| port on Monday for California. We have described
this vessel already-giVing readers minute de-
scuPtion Of her model, size, the fitting up OF her
/ BINS, and the length and size Of her spars-but
find II impossible to give any description of her as
she passed down the bay Monday and went dancing
out into the broad Atlantic There was stiff,
steady wind, and the beautiful vessel, almost hid
by the cloud Of canvas which she spread. seem
ed TO glide through the rolling waves as smooth
ly as the Reindeer the Nae World cleave the waters
Of the Hudson As we watched her far out on the
briny deep until vessel and seemed
Speck mo larger than a mans hand" we thought
what glorious thing II was to Ego down into the
sea in ships" and we fear that we were half tempted
to look with some favor upon Rover's life, and to
dream of sunny isles, and fair forms, sparkling with
bright gems such we read Of in the Lives of the
Pirates" and the Tales of the Howadji. These
and thousand other thoughts came over u.s. and at
one time there were strong premonitory symptoms
that we should find vent for them in torrent Of
rhyme-but we smothered the desire, and turnngSO-
ward the city, we bid good-by TO the Flying Cloud

n A CONCERT of Amateurs for the ben
EFT Of the Benevolent Society of the Ladies Of St.
Vincent of Paul, will take place Friday evening,
June 6, at o'clock, in the church Of that name in
Canal street. We commend the announcement TO
the lovers of good deeds and Of good music, who
obtain tickets for the concert at Messrs. Delmon
icos, Milhaus, S.ereig & Breusings, Scharfenberg
Luis and Delluc's.
"QUIcK PAssAGB-The steamboat Reindeer. we
perceive by "A published certificate has made the
passage from Albany 10 this City IN hours and "a
minutes. ThiSis extraordinary speed, and we there
fore put il on record But we must protest against
having
tendency and steamboat racing against time eSpe-
cially As dangerous TO the lives Of passengers"
We cut the above from the Commercial,
TO correct al error which contemporary has made.
The trip alluded TO was not a race against time nor
was it intended TO be so understood-for what Cap
tain would think of running against time with such
load the Reindeer brought down on Saturday
She could not be expected to make anything like
good time she could without passengers, and If
Capt. Degroot wished to show what his boat could
do, he would take the opportunity when she had but
few passengers-if that time should ever occur
When the Reindeer does against time, we rather
think that time will be inside Of :: a.
