The Great Eastern.

The long expected Great Eastern ha Is arriy.
cd at last Friday morning the city of New
York was thrown into terrible state of ex-
element by the announcement that the /" big
steamer" was coming up the bay. The crowd
pushed towards the battery and in few min
utes many hundreds of the people were assem-
bIed at that place. The bay was soon filed
with steamers and yachts. al turning their way
towards the Hook. At III o'clock, a. M, she
reached Sandy Hook. where she was obliged
to wait ill o'clock for the tide. AT half past
four o'clock she passed the Battery. attended
by an immense feet Of small craft loaded with
spectators. The u. s. steamship Niagara,
which is anchored in the bay, seemed perfectly
Insignificant alongside the Leviathan. The
voyage was made in about eleven days and
half. II was expected that her speed would
have been from sixteen to eighteen knots 40
hour, but it ia said that her swiftest rate was
only fourteen and half. The utmost distance
she ran in any one day was 333 miles--which
makes an average Of less than fourteen miles
an hour. Hes bottom is said to be very foul,
and il is said that but for this she would have
made sixteen knots an hour. This foulness,
however, was known 10 England weeks before
she sailed, and ought to have been removed
Considering that this Leviaihan Of steamers
was built with the expectation of crossing the
Atlantic in seven days, it shust be confessed
that her fret voyage is not success.
1 Upwards of twenty Thousand persona visited
the ship on Friday Painters have been engag.
ed in painting the vessel up, lnd when the worl
10 finished she will be throwh open to the pub
lie, $50 per head being the price fixed for nd
mission. All around grog-ahops are springinl
