Clipper Sovereign Of The Seas and the
King This spfe mid ship was visited on
Tuesday ty his majesty and suite, who
spent an hour or two on board, and ex-
amined the ship in detail with surprise
and delight. .......
His Majesty was accompanied on board
by | his ministers, and we noticed, also,
II. B. Ms Consul General, the American
and French Commissioners, The American
Consu at this port, the BFembam Consul, ,
together with ii large number OF Fadles
and gentlemen, residents and strangers,
all of whom seemed highly pleased with
the mob ship and with the attentions
they received from Capt. Mckay while
on board.
At the collation. given on board, nun,e-
rous toasts were drank expressive Of the
highest degree of cordially among the
guests.
The Sovereign has taken in freight to
the amount of about 5000 barrels, but IS
not full. She could take some 5000 bar

channel for her to get out. She draws
90 feet forward and 81 aft, which is as
much AS she can safely carry over the
