ship Cahawba, Capt Smith, arrived here on her last
trip from your port on the afternoon Of the 10th ult
| and sailed again for New York in about two hours
after her arrival, although it had been previously
advertised she would not leave here for New York
until the next day. the 30th ult The result of her
hasy departure was that but very little of the cores
pondence that had been intended to be forwarded by
her was prepared, and up to this hour there are
cigars on the wharf which had been intended to have
been shipped by her, to do which, time sufficient was
not allowed. Several passengers, too, who had in
tended to have gone in her were prevented from
doing so as their preparations had been made for the
following day, according to the previous advertise
ment
Very great and general indignation has been ex-
pressed In this city ut the hurried departure OF the
Cahawba which indignation has been increased from
its being understood that circumstance caused by
desire of Captain Smith to run race to New York
with the Quaker City, which sailed for New York an
hour earlier, the same afternoon than did the Ca
hawba; indeed, have been told by gentleman Of
great respectabty who pledged his veracity for the
correctness Of the statement, that large bet was
made In New Orleans that the Cahawba would reach
New York as soon as did the Quaker City and this
would seem to be confirmed by Captain Smith having
made enquiry Of the parties who rst boarded his ship
In this hsrbor that afternoon, {" at what hour the
Quaker City sailed :" and upon being told at four
O'clock" he replied, "then shall sail ct i've !"

period 80 that sheuld any al Of them b. incorrect

Of the CAhswbA who resde In your city to contradict

they are stated to have been principally interested.
