NEW YORK, April 3Oth, 1858.
FRIEND CouRIER:-The steamship Star OF
the Vest arrived here on the night of Monday
25th inst, with the passengers who left San
Francisco on the LIST in the Sierra Nevada, there
by making the trip in "a days and two or three
hours. What l said in my last from San Juan
del Sur about the Sierra Nevada, repeat in re-
spect to the Star of the West. But what shall
say of the journey and treatment the passegers
received OH the transit route, commencing with
the agents at San Juan, Messrs Body, White &,
Co., and continued at Pineda City on Virgin
Bay on Lake Nicaragua! There was nothing
but misrepresentation and abuse from the time
of departure from San Juan until we arrived on
board the Atlantic steamer. 1t would occupy
more space than either OF us have to spare a.:
present. to enumerate all that occurred. Let the
following suffice for the present. To begin at
San Juan del Sur. Messrs. Body, White & Co.
weighed all the baggage and took charge of it,
giving checks and demanding the payment
of the freight SIS per 100 lbs OF the latter
procedure nobody complained, but when those
gentlemen gave us the checks they represented

compelled to give up the checks and take charge

passengers, some 700, ON board small she'll Of a
steamboat not as large as of the ferry boats
on the East River. The officers of the boats are

New York is full of strangers: all the hotels
