TIE NEW STEAMSHIP CITY OF NEW

Tie steamship City of New-York arrived here
on Wednesday on her first trip, having left
Liverpool on the llth instant IL was expected
that she would make the passage in ten days, but
she was detained "a hours by her machinery be.

was launched late in june from the renowned building
yard of M0serr Todd & Macgregor, at Kelvin Dock,
near Glasgow, was built for the Liverpool, NewYork
and Philadelphia Steamship Company, and will run
between this port and Liverpool.

so feet and her depth q feet inches She is of $50
tuns old measurement and has been designed and con-
structed on beautiful lines having very fine ends and

constructed Of the very beet materials and divided into
six water.ight and fre-proof compartments by i've
strong bulkheads passing right across her hull from
the top OF the keel the under surface OF the upper
deck. TO strengthen her still further she has steel
plates running all along her deck and extending from
the gunwales on each side TO the outer SIDE
of the house-on-deck, in which her dining and
other saloons are placed. Those steel plates are
securely rivetted to the beams, and, being placed
so high in the hull, they constitute admirable
ties, by which the whole framework Of the vessel
is firmly bound together. The City Of New-York 10
propelled by screw of three blades Is feet in diae-
ter and 50 feet pitch. This is driven by two
engines, which work horizontally, and have direct
action Of pominally 800 horsepower, but which may
be worked TO double that power. They are furnished

named McCaflray, an Irshman who has only been en-
Estad abont ~ months. He bears very bad chsrac-

opposing argument.
In the above brief and extremely imperfect survey
of some of the causes Of the change of drift in
French public opinion, have tried to confne my
self strictly within the limits OF facts, but have not
gone over nearly all the ground within those limits.
1 might enter upon the debatabe ground OF opinion,
and vet keep far this side of the closed land of idle
conjecture, if | should say that frank declaration
of Emancipation Of Tie Stare uttered by our Gov
ernment would change the waverng and returning
current Of French sympathy into resistless tide III
our favor; and if / should say that the Southern
leaders, in bold desperation or high intelligence, de-
clariDg in advance Of US Emancipation of the Slaves,
would carry with them the full sympathy OF France
and England l am sure that should say the truth.
But what would public sympathy in either coun.
try amount tot 1t would greatly abbreSiate and
simplify the diplomatic answer to the "questl0n OF
time" That man must have i'll read current histo-
nv. who supposes that Louis Napoleon will antici-
pate or an English Ministry dare to oppose, public
opinion in hasty recognition Of the Southern Con.
federacy-or that that Ministry or Autocrat will
lag far behind public opinion in such recognition.
That, meantime, European men and statesmen
are perfectly willing 10 give fur trial, do not
see the slightest sound reason for doubling. They
do not make the bunge of taking the past SIX
months as n sample end of eternity Our next sic.
tory-wben we win twill be fully appreciated
tuls tuc hhtcIt Ot nhiU VI W. ~
ergy in the West is already highly appreciated here.
There is not the slightest imminent danger Of France
or England, or of France and England, attempting
to break the blockade-they will grant Mr.. Weles
handsome extension to redeem the paper part Of
it, As for the cotton warp, in the English view of
our case, it would seem that England is not more in
need of raw cotton than of purchasers of manuiac-
tured cotton. One want balances the other 30 far
as we are concerned.
Mail closes in half an hour, and defer TO next
Tuesday postscript appendix to this long letter.
adding only now u paragraph about Garibaldi.
Journalists and telegraniss in these last days have
II gived the rumors Of two months ago respecting
his immediate enlistment in the North American
army. We had it a few days ago from Reuters
telcgTammic mandatory that the United States
Minister at Brussels (slr. Santord) on his Italian
tour had been empowered by bis Government to
propose TO Garibaldi TO take command Of the
Federal army. It's said Garibaldi has accepted
