, A TRIP TO HookERis DIv1sIoS.-The swiff
and graceful steamer Metamora, which has re-
Gently made Its appearance on the waters OF the
Potomac, on Saturday and yesterday made trips
as far down river as Budds Ferry. As she car
ried large excursion parties Of ladies and gentle
men, no particular attempt was made to show her
speed, but on Wednesday last an opportunity was
given TO some MY OF our citizens to witness the
manner in which she can slip along on occasion.
The steamer left her wharf at the foot Of Eleventh
street at half-pd 10 m and in forty minutes
thereafter was brought 70 at the bluffs Of Mount
Vernon! On her return trip she gave evidence
Of her superiority over all contestants by the APP
parent ease with which she overloaded the gun
boat yankee" nearly three miles In advance
when the "Metamora" started, but which was
in q few minutes passed, and keeping up this
rate of speed the "Metamora" reached her dock
again, having made the return trip In thirty-fve
minutes.
The Metamora has 100 feet deck and three sa-
looms, and Ia fitted up in the usual style OF COM
pleteness of the celebrated North river boats,
from which fraternity she comes.
IL Is not yet known for what object she was
brought here unless ID may be to make one Of a
line between This city and one Of the surely to be
captured ports now in possession Of the rebels
AN IMPOSITION Editor Star A "victimu de
sires to caution travellers against the imposition
practiced by some Of the omnibus drivers on the
line between Pennsylvania avenue and the steam
boat landing. The regular fare is ten cents
enough In all conscience; but last night excur-
stonists from Rockers division were bled to the
tune of twenty-five cents for a jolt from the foot
Of Eleventh st. to WilardT Hotel. IL there Is no
other remedy, let the uninitiated arrange their
terms before being seduced into these vehicular
money traps. Will you walk into my parlorn
(said the spider to the fy) evidently is not con-
fined to the realms of cobwebs alone.
