We arrived this morning, after rapid passage Of four
days and two hours from New York. We had delightful
weather. sail was made passed Sandy Hook, aud
not taken in until within short distance Of this port.
The stoppage Of all steamers between New York and
Havana, except the Columbia has been fortunate oc
cnrrence for this vessel. She incnded for
passenger steamer but tho exigencies of tho
times keep her fuii 10 overnowng every trip
much indebted to Captain Le Mcssurcr and the other
officers Of tho vessel or many acts Of kindness and
sidcration received their hands, and trust they may all
bo changed to larger vessel and better fitted
for the large and increasing business OF this line.

when about mile from the lighthouse the pilot
ceived board We could distinguish the flags Of
tho different Consuates and was with much pride and
pleasure discovered the glorious old Stars and Stripes

torious "Stars and rarsn of JeG Davis Co.'s confcdc

well guarded by powerful furfcations although, far

with boats seeking passengers for shorc and
taking advantage Of notice suspended to tho side Of the
captains that the ship would not sail unit, the next
day made hasty toilet and departed to visit once more
the land Of cocoanuts bananas Engshmen and contra

On reaching the shore proceeded to search for our
active and energetic Consul Captain Whiting, Of steam
ship Marion potoricy and found him at the Post Once
awaiting the mail to be inserted. most Hospitality
received and Indebted to him for much valuable
