The Netc Red River Packet Grand Duke.-The
excitement occasioned by the arrival Of this magni-
cent new steamer at the lower landing yesterday,
almost great as if the Grand Duke OF all tie
Russias had himself arrived. Her beautiful appear
ance, together with her easy and graceful bearing Is
she gradually slackened her speed and rounded to,
for the purpose Of entering her BERTH gave abundant
promise for the realization Of still greater beauties
contained within. And when she landed, and the
eager and admiring crowd hastened on board, they
not disappointed in their preconceiyed concep-
tons Of her size, magni6cence, comforts and general
accommodations. The G. D. was built to take the
place of the old Duke ont in the Red river
service-and is in every way worthy successor to
its venerable old namesake. She was built at Louis
vile at an expense of sixty thousand dollars. Her
extreme length is 205 feet with SO feet beam and "a
feet floor. Her capacity is 5000 bales of cotton As
criterion of her speed may adduce the fact that
she made the run from Louisville to this city in six
and half days, with heavy trip, which she picked
up from point to point on the Mississippi. She has
accommodations for eighty cabin passengers,
and can give good berths to twenty more. She will
be "star packet" in the Red river, and would
equally grace any other stream Her officers are too
welknown in this city to need any introduction to
our renders. Captain Samuel Apologize is her COM
mander and owner while the ever-attentive, urbane
and gentemanly clerk Mr.. l.. 7. Murdoch, presides
in the Office efficiently assisted by Mr. F. " CelIos
