Arrival OF the Great Eastern nt Cape May.
CAPE MAY, July 3llAThe steamship Great
Eastern arrived here at eight this morning
She has 2,0S7 passengers. One steamboat
accompanied her TO the bar last evening. She
got over the bar safely, at twelve minutes
after seven ?. NJ, high tide, and had two feet
to spare. She then started at full speed, the
band playing. ..r strD -r'l.a',
At Sandy Hook the eighty-tun anchor was
secured with great difficulty, the loop of the
cast-block having broken. II was replaced,
when the capstan was found TO be too small
for the cable, the slack of which was pulled
out by the weight of the anchor. This Jared
the bow OF the vessel tremendously, dozen
times.
The sea was very smooth and light, and
the vessel made graceful roll Of three de-
grees. Land was lost sight of at half-past
eight p. Nj. At this time the Highland lights
were last seen, and there was a slight haze
on the water, but splendid moonlight over
head. -.
Among the passengers, there was much
grumbling in consequence of the scarcity of
water. This was caused by the cock Of
compartment having been left open, flooding
the ice-house and store-rooms. A consider
able quantity of produce and provisions was
injured by this disaster, and food cmse-
quently became scarce. rr.
At night, 500 persons slept on the deck,
which was rendered very unpleasant by
thick rain of cinders. The accommodations
were very meager. Not more than 100
women were on board. On the voyage,
water was sold at ten cents glass.
An indignation meeting was held on board,
and resolutions were passed censuring the
Directors for the singular conduct of the
officers toward the passengers.
The Great Eastern sails for New York at
six o'clock tonight and will reach there at
six o'clock in the morning.
