The GREAT EAsTERN-The Eocursions.-Tbe prin-
clpa topic OF conversation yesterday on the street
was in relation to the arrival of the steamship
Great Eastern Although the fact of the ships
arrival in Annapolis roads was learned on Sunday
night, and that it was also well known that full
provision had been made for the transportation OF
visitors to the big ship, yet it evident that the
people were not yet ready to pay her a visit, to
judge from the number of persons who embarked
on the several steamboats, and railroad trains. The
Bay Line of steamers, under direction of Moor n.
Falls, Esq, with their splendid boats, made five
trips to the steamer carrying about fifteen hundred
passengers, who all boarded the ship, and had am
pie opportunity to examine her immense propor-
tions. The Richmond and Petersburg Line of
steamboats, also ran four boats to the Roads, but
they only passed around the ship, giving their
passengers view of her as she Law upon the water.
To realize the great size of the Leviathan.
one must go on board of her and then examine her
in all her parts He will then discover that her
portfolios are not three feet square, they appear
from steamboat,) but that any man can stand
erect In them; he will also see that the berth win
dows in the sides, which appear to be about six or
eight inches in diameter, will easily contain the
head and shoulders of full sized man. Dprino
the whole OF yesterday, Annapolis Roads was
whitened with the sails of small vessels and which
seemed, aside of the ship, like chips upon the
craft near the ship the cSew of the Great Eastern
cheered them Justify, which compliment was re-
turned always by the crowd on board. The number
of passengers taken down by the boats, other than
those of the Bay Line was about six hundred. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is also conveying
large number of passengers to Annapolis, where
they take steamboat for the ship. 1t is estimated
that about eighteen hundred persons went on
board the Great Eastern yesterday. To-day, the.
trips on all the routes will be resumed, when il is
expected that the number of visitors will be-
doubled. To those who wish merely to view the
out boarding her, the Richmond boats offer an
e'egant opportunity.
