The arrival OF Mr. Pierre soule in this city yesterday
prisoner, and at the same time passenger board
the Ocean Queen created considerable interest and oil
kinds Of inquiries were made everywhere how he
bad come whsrc he going aud what TO DO done
with him. 1t would be as embarrassing rece
tho numerous absurd rumors which put into cir.
culaton about his movements. Some Thought that no
had been sent right of to Fort Lafayette others that
gone to Fort Warren and few that quarters had
been provided for him on Governors Island
In order To obtain some reliable information
porter called upon the captain OF the steamer Ocean
Qucen--the vessel on which Mr.. Soue took pas
sage in New Orleans. This vesse!--a romarka-
bly, Ine one, by the way--stl lies in tho
stream OF pier No. 4 North river. Tho Captain says
that the conduct Of Mr.. Soue exceedingly
orderly and quiet during the whole passage. he by
cast down dispiritej bat converscd fieoy
with person who felt disposed to address him at the
same time being careful to avoid any conversation OF
roliticai nature. He treated in the way all
the other passangos board, distinction whatever
being made: 1t was tho special order Of General But
Tor previous to his cmbaikation. MI. Sauie camo on
board the Ocean Queen ut New o leans without any
guard protection and was perfectly unknown 10 tho
ether passengers board, so quiet and genenany was
his conduct He was Immediately followed By the gen.
tlcnan selected by General Butler to deliver him
the United states authorities in this city.
On the arrival OF the steamer in the harbor tug was
Immediately aones de by the United States Quarter
master or. Tompkins, for the purpose OF convey
irg the prisoner TO the United States Marshas
Office: and indeed, his presence board was kept SO
secret and reserved was he his general converse
ton, that it was only on leaving the vessel that tho
majority OF these on board discovered who was tho
gent,ernan with the long gray beard.
When tho news OF tho arrival OF Mr.. Soule reached
the city yesterday morning quite large number OF
citizens assembled pier No. 4-the dock at which tho
anxiety to him that hundreds Uttered about tho
pier for the whole day but, as night CANE on II became
evident they would be disappointed. as tho vessel si
lay riding at her moorings In the stream The disap-
pointncn, among the curious crowd, whom 1t was
acotaned that Soue had left the vessel In charge Of the
United MARSHAL was cvnced on every countenance
All access to or communication with tho distinguished
gentleman is strictly forbidden His ultimate destna-
ton will be. it is supposed, either Fort Warren
