The PASSAGE OF THE STEAMSHIP EaIcssoS.-rhe
following is an extract from letter by passenger in
the steamship Ericsson dated on board at Hsvre,
June 30, 1855, p. NJ.
1--WE have lust anchored at the mouth of the Seine
fourteen DAYS and three hours from New ork, the
five hours be deducted for difference in ii ne as I'M
dersiand is customary with steamers. Ihis has been
done on an average daily consumption OF 2l tuns OF
coal. The engines have worked beautifully regularly
and smoothly, and boilers have proved themselves
able to give all the steam the engines require and
more. OF the ship hersef a sea boat, the passen-
Gers do not seem able to speak in sufficiently high
terms. Even when rolling heavily in the trough oil tue
sea she perfectly easy-no Jerk nor stran OF any
kind Our passaee might easily have been male IN
IL or II DAYS but for the following circumstances
One of our air-pump valves required us TO stop J
hours to replace the packing which was detective In
quality; but our most serious hinderance has arisen
from the want of surface in the paddles,
and from their being numerous and therefore
30 close together as to cut the water INTO
foam and destroy its resistance. This was ascerained
by repcated trials during which it was shown by ac-
tial observation, that while with average of IL
turns of the engines for "a hours, she made 2O2
miles Oh a consumption of Is tuns of coal on the sue
ceedng "a hours with the same weather and sea- with
Ii turns of the engines and consumption OF POI tuns
of coal she only made pos mile. Exertion OF power
was therefore useless with such paddles. As soon as
we yet into dock All alteration will be made in them,
which our good Capt. Lowber thinks will carry her
home in dave There is coal enough left of the 73O
turs taken on board at New York TO carry her back.
Our passage has been in all respects most delight
full one and the accommodations fare aud attendance
excellent.

FIRES.


At IL o'clock yesterday morning, sooty chimney
in Ries Star Hotel Lispenard-st, took fire, and for
some time burned feroely. The proprietor directed
the servant to put blanket over the fireplace, in
order to lessen tie draugh, but the man paced over
the top of the chimney. The blanket quickly took
fire, and falling the roof caused considerable
elurm The fremen of the District were quickly on
the ground, but fortunately their services not
needed as the flames were subdued with few paits
Of water. Damage slight.
FIRE ~ BowERY AND DELANcY-sT.

IMPORTED Liquor ISTAcT.-Rccorder Smith gave
his decision Thursday morning in the Of Thomas
Dowd at the Court of Special Sessions at the Tombs.
After reciting the facts in the case which have al
ready been published in The TRIBUNE, he decided
that the penalties attached TO the old Excise Law
were repealed by the Prohibitory Law. The penalty
under the old Statute, he says was specific penalty
imposed for selling without the specific license men
toned in that Statute The Recorder then proceeds
TO decide that the right to sell il incident to the right
to import He considers the Prohibtory Law itself to
be crude and undgested aggregation of sections in
serted rather for their availability than for their effect
iyeress and says that in the construction Of this,
criminal statute be has nothing to do with the lnten'
ton Of the Legislature; if disputed point admits OF
two constructions that which il most favorable to the
party accused must prevail. He says that the excep-
ton in the law in favor Of imported liquor stands on
the same ground as the exception in favor of cider,
and no subsequent change Of form affect it, that
the question involved in the decision of the United
States Courts that imported liquor becomes subject
10 State regulations when the original packages are
broken does not apply in this casei the exemption Of
imported liquor Is absolute. The Recorder therefore
comes To the conclusion that it is no offene TO sell
"nported liquor without having obtained the license
mentioned in the act Of April" This defendant
consequently, s. wei Chas. G. Smith is dis
charged.
