open deck Of boat, with five hundred passengers
upon it, more than half of whom we've women and
Children, We have seen from one 10 two hundred Hen
ut the same moment putting out their tobacco smoke
into the stiff breeze that carried It toward the stern,
and through ell the cabins and saterooms, until every

is positively nauseang TO about one half OF prons-
cuous crowd. This rule compes those who have be-
come addicted 10 what we think bad habit, to prac
tice in the face and eyes OF all the rest OF the
passengers. The same thing occurs, to smaller de-
gree, upon all our railroad trains-the smoking car -
forward, and in Summer time, with open doors and
windows, those who do no. smoke are smoked.
1t is sicgu'ar thing that this wrong-end FORE
most construction of all passenger boats comes
from the fact that the seat OF honor IN the
first vessels constructed was IN the stern,
and in the stern continue 20 locate it. If il the
best place for the cabin Of seagoing ships it is not
the best place for river passengerboats 10 try
ing to put the ladies cabins in the place OF honor, we
place them in the very worst possible position on toe
boat for heat and smell. The ladies' cabin
is the natural receptacle owing to t position not only
Of tobacco smoke coming from forward Of the shaft
but for all the other vile smels dust ard gaseous
substances that float from the cookroom, the engine
room, the freght-room, the room Of pigs, poultry,
horses cattle, sheep, and sometimes froms few hun
dred emigrants who would put pig to blush
because they were much more dirty, and

the engine, kitchen and smokng-room sft-the latter
the upper deck, quite over the rudder, so that all
that nuisance might be carried of astern without
offending any body on board. Probably this matter
of wrongerdsdness comes in some degree, from build

Ferry TO Brooklyn TO be quite forgotten by the
Union Company, a1d now manages Itself. Wretchef
old boats after being worn out at Fulton street are
though good enough here on nearlythe longest route
from the city. Some years ago the Company deluded

reducing the fare to one cent. Having got large
population the lands Of the spectators Interested

Of small parcels OF lard WHO were not up 10 the

city. Recently we have had occasion to notice the
working Of this Ferry, and find it altogether unreha-

half an bour at the humor of the pilots they wait

Der Of passengers, TO be of getting the Saten
Island boat, started from Hamilton-avenue ferry at

the river the pilot got tired and stopped few min

carelessness, drftsd go far up stream that he
was obliged to run back two hundred yards
