ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BALTI-
MORE.


New York, Sept. 27.
The steamer City Of Baltimore from Liver
pool on the l4th arrived this morning Her
advices have been anticipated
The New York Herald's Reporter had en-
interview yesterday, with Capt Comstock,
lately Of the Collins steamer Baltic, who came
home as a passenger in the Vanderbilt Capt.
G. commanded the Russian frigate General
Admiral on her voyage from New York 10
Cronstadt.
lie has taken great interest in the NAM
moth steamship.Great Eastern from the com
mencement, has visited her every few months
while in course Of construction, and on the
invitation Of Capt. Harrison her commander,
and Of the Board of Directors Of the Great
Ship Company, he accompanied her on her
recent trip, and happened to be on deck at
the time Of the fatal steam explosion of
Hastings on the evening Of the OH inst.
Capt ComstOck is highly pleased with the
steamer, pronounees her a perfect success so
far ~ navigation is concerned, and is even
enthusiastic on the subject other performance
Many have the impression that the late trip
was trial trip for speed, but this is an en-
tire mistake. The trip was made simply for
the purpose of removing the ship fiOm her
position in the Thames 10 n seaport, where
she can be coaled and put in proper trim for
trial trip.
The Great Eastern is to be prepared for her
trial trip as soon as the repairs necessitated
by the explosion can be completed. Her trial
trip will be from Portland to HOlyhead. md
according to present arrangements she will
sail from llolyhead for Portland America, on
the goth of October. Il has been fully deter
mined by the Board Of Directors that from
Portland, u. s., the Great Eastern shall come
on an excursion trip to New York, via Sandy
Hook, this is positively settled and determin-
cd
Shortly before the ship left the Thames
/ Capt ComstOck and Harrison were both cues.
| toned on the subject before the Board of Di.
reotors, and both concurred in ths opinion
that the ship can enter the harbor over the
bar at Sandy Hook, drawing twenty-four and
a half feet of water with safety. The famous
clipper ship Great Republic crossed the bar
safely drawing some inches over twenty-fv,
| feet. IL was then arranged that at Portland
D. D., the Great Eastern shall be lightened L
the required draft and then proceed on hel
excursion TO this city via Sandy Hook
Capt. COmstock is of the opinion that th,
\ Great Eastern cannot cross the bar safely eX
cept at the spring tides, which occur once ,
L fortnight, and that as even then she canno
bring much, if any cargo, it would hardly pa,
to run her regularly to this port.
The lieilgSts Channel, Capt. c. thinks, il
impraetcabie, not for want of water, but be
cause the channel is too crooked for Il vesse
of her Immense length. Under very extraor
dinary circumstances, the passage throug
iellgate might be effected.
Capt. Comstoek thinks that as n passenge
ship the Great Eastern might be run betwee
New York and some European port with prof
because she would not necessarily draw to
much water TO enter the harbor, if she carrie
little or no freight, or a depot made for he
the other side Of Hellgate, which, after all
would be as near New York as many shin
approach to the heart of London. A larg
A., number of the stockholders are directly inter
e. ted in the grand trunk railroads, and o
oou ."se would prefer to have the ship run /
Portla. nd and others in the direction are In
dia mere hants, and desire, il she shall prov
commercially as we'll as practically success
hl, to make her one of a regular line Of pack
cts to India. 1.Ney talk of building five NOR
steamers of SINH monster proportions 70
the India trade, hun of course that will de
pend upon the success of this FIRST great el
pertinent On the whole IT is probable tina
the ship will run regularly 20 this port.
