NEW YoRK, August 8.
Punctually at twelve to-day, her appointed hour,
the noble Atlantic cast off her moorings and de-
parted, amid the cheers of a great multitude, and
the booming of cannon, on her return trip TO Liv-
erpool. Considering that since her arrival on Sun
day morning she has discharged cargo OF seven
hundred tons of measurement goods, and taken in
another cargo and the coal necessary for her out
ward voyage, it speaks well for the energy and
perseverance of the manager of the company. Un-
questionably he is a driving merchant, and en-
terprising or he could never have created the mag
nificent steamers composing the Atlantic line,
with dubious prospect OF margin for profits.
The crowd that assembled on the wharf at the foot
of Canal street to the Atlantic off probably an
tcipated scena between Jenny Lind and her late
companions, Benedict and Belletti, who are pas
sengers (the two 80 in the steamer, or chorus
in which Captain West and Mr.. Collins would take
part but whatever tender or romantic passages
there might have been between the Nightingale
and her friends, they not for the public eye.
The noble ship moved off at the top of her speed as
though she was bent upon making the most of her
steamer at Jersey City, which was not responded
to, and was soon out of sight beyond the Narrows.
AS the Cunarder leaves Boston day at twelve pre-
cisely, there will be race between the two ships,
and it is not likely that either will lose any time
on the passage The America, which leaves Bos
ton to-day is one of the fastest of the Cunarders,
but il is expected that the Atlantic will beat her.
The Atlantic took but one hundred thousand dol

influence in Wall street, and the smalness of the
amount shipped, taken in connexion with the re-
ceipt of over a million in dust by the Empire City
this morning, has caused very decided rise in
stocks at the first board which fully sustained
at the second. The rise in Erie Railroad and other
fancies is nearly two per cent. The fears of a
panic are beginning to subsde, and ii is supposed
that the lowest point of depression has been reached

change, too, has taken place in the weather;
the effects of the eclipse have off and have
regular dog-days heat.
Mayor Kingsland has vetoed the Battery En-
largement law, and it is said that the friends of
that measure in the Common Council will, by way
of retaliation, defeat the project of the uptown
park, which is favorite scheme of the Mayors;
and we poor citizens, who would have been glad to
have both, or to sacrifice one for the sake of the
other, are likely to have neither.
remarkable entertainment is to take place at
Castle Garden next Tuesday, which will better de-
serve the name of festival than any similar event
than has occurred here. The friends of Mr..
Marshall, manager of the Broadway Theatre, have
determined to give him benefit, and have ar
ranged an entertainment on the most liberal and
magnificent scale; it is to commence at ten in the
morning and continue until eleven at night, COM
mencing with an English opera, which will be fol-
lowed by an Italian opera, French vaudeville,
a German comedy, an English comedy, rope dane
ing, Spanish ballet, Virginia minstrelsy, ballad
sin ging, &C., and conclude with fire. works. The
charge for the whole will be but one dollar and who
ever sits through it all will be sure of getting the
full value of his money.
One of the last importations from Europe is Pro.
fessor Anderson, who came passenger in the Allan
tic, and is managed by MIR. Hall Wilton, the plen-
ipotentiary who wns sent out to Germany by Mr..
Barnum, year ago, to negotiate with Jenny
Lind. Professor Anderson, II presume, is professor

Our daguerreotypists,w who are almost as numerous
as hotel keepers or exchange brokers, have put
themselves into complimentary mourning as
mark Of respect for M. Daguerre, whose death was
announced. They Grape on the left

bears his name. Every house, now, however hum

sentials that give value to portrait, surpass the
most splendid examples of antique art.
