New York Correspondence.
New YORK, June 10, 1851.


The ow aers of the North America, the steamship
which was to have sailed yesterday for Galway,
in Ireland, were guilty yesterday of what is gen
kralIy regarded here as great outrage, viz: the
sae of the vessel auction and refusal to take the
passengers, (who, to the number Of thirty, with
their baggage, were all aboard,) upon the voyage.
The owner owners, kept their purpose pro.
found secret, until the sale had been actually con-
summated. OF course, the passengers were ndig-
nsnt beyond measure, and with all their command
of language, (and several talked freely in more than
one tongue) they found it impossible to "wreak
upon expression than one-half the wrath
occasioned by this gross disappointment.
p. T. Barnum, Esq, was among the intended
passengers and be was greatly incensed, declaring
he would prosecute the owners to the extent of the
law. The attempt to make the public believe him
party to the fraud, l regard in the highest
degree unjust and malignant. Mr.. Barnum is a
much better man than any of those who speak Of
him with such disrespec. and opprobrium.
The passengers of the North America are assured
of transfer to the Pacific to sail for Liverpool on
Saturday, but the most of them were earnest to &c
4 via Galway, not only to make the shortest voyage
on record, but to see old Ireland. OF course, an
action will lie against the owners. ! have heard
one man say and probably others agree with him
that the project of running steamships between
this country and Ireland direct, unsavory t.
British merchants, some of whom may have taker
this course to defeat the experiment. But, o
course, this is mistake. Probably the who'll
secret is. that the North America had so small /;
number of Messengers. that her owners would hav
lost money by the voyage; and what is more, the.
were very anxious to sell her, and Mr.. Vanderbilt
was verv desirous to buy her as a consort ior tn
steamship Prometbeus. and with her to complet
