Arrival of the Niagara.

The steam frigate Niagara, of the telegraph
fleet, arrived at the floating light, below New
York, at o'clock Wednesday morning, and
was signaled from the telegraph station at !
O'Clock. The steam tug Achilles went down al
6 O'Clock and took off Cyrus w. Field. and his
brother Matthew ID. Field Messrs. w. L. Ey.
erett and Mr.. Woodhouse, first and second en-.
gineers of the Niagara Mr.. Mullaly, private
secretary to Prof. Morse and purser Eldridge
of the Niagara. The party were landed al
Whitehall at half-past eight o'clock, bringing
the first news of their own arrival in the city.
Mr.. Field took carriage and drove imme-
diately to his house, No. "a East Dist street.
stating that he must for few hours deny him
self to the press and everybody else, as he had
important dispatches to prepare for the steamer
which sailed few hours later. He has been
absent from his family eight months At pres
ent he is rather thin in flesh, and looks very
pale and fatigued.
The Niagara arrived up at about o'clock p.
NJ, having waited for high tide to cross the
bar. She proceeded directly to the BROOKLYN
navy yard, and as she passed the North Caro-
lima was greeted with national salute of twen-
ty-one guns under the English flag in honor of
the Queen. The Niagara had a supplyo poor
coal when she left ST., Johns, and this running
short has been the chief cause of her delay
she has also been detained by heavy fogs.
As the Niagara was coming up the harbor
she was approached by all the steamboats, con-
gregated in the bay, and the ringing huzzas
which greeted her, fully attested the enthusiasm
her grand exploit has elected from the public.
She was decked with flags from end to end, and
moved up the bay as light as pilot boat, though
drawing twenty-three feet of water.
The demonstrations at Brooklyn in honor of
the Niagara and her commander, Capt Hudson,
called out an immense throng of people TWAS
arranged that Capt II. should remain atthe ma
Wy yard until I o'clock, and at the firing of a
salute on Fort Green be. escorted to the Man
