should give an expression Of their salts
faction, or dissatisfaction, with the steam

with taste and elegance for the aceommoda-
tion of the travelling public.
RescFUed, That in Captain Rider we have
found faithful officer, q true seaman, a
courteous gentleman, and a generous friend,
who has devoted his time and labor to render

has successfully exerted himself to give ms
no cause Of complaint at our rooms or at the
table, but, on the contrary, has made US ex-
osedingly we'll pleased with both and with
the energetic gentlemen who has had super
vision Of this department. We are also
greatly indebted to the courteous attentions
Of the clerk, Mr.. J. 7. Hough.
ResOtUed, That the engineers Of the boat
Messrs. CroneWeth and Murgatroid, both
strictly temperate and courteous gentlemen,
have exercised care and skill in the manage

pie justice is done them by this acknowl-
edgement.
ResolUed, That the speed and comfort with
which the trip has been accomplished are the
best testimony to the faithfulness and efi-
cheney Of the mate, Mr.. John Halloran, and
the boats crew, but We would especially
commend, as g remarkable and gratifying
feature, that we have, in all the voyage, seen
no evidence Of the use of intoxicating LIQUOR
in any Of the officers, crew, or cabin employ
ees, nor have we been annoyed by that too
frequent vice, the use Of profane language.
This fact in regard to lhs Meteor is well
worthy remembrance by those who desire
quiet and we'll regulated boat.
ResotDed, That the benefit Of our visit to
VIZ AAAOA6A AN6 6AOAa u Ahk6 Dupo-
riOr has been greatly enhanced by the intel
ligibile and instructive explanations given
by Prof. Brainsrd, Of Cleveland, regarding
the formation Of this portion of the sarth's
surface.
Resolred, That while our journeyiugs have
extended over two sabbRths, we have been
Prohtsbly compensated for the loss Of home
church privileges, by hearing eloquent and
instructive discourses from Rev. Mr.. Addi-
son, OF Wheeling, who has proved his claim
upon our remembrance as a genial Christian
companion.
ResOiDsd, As the special voice of the ladies',
that the porter, VIM. Bennett, deserves a
compliment for his good nature, and the ac-
cOmmOdatiOn displayed in their behalf.
ResOlDed, That a copy of these resolutions
be presented to the officers of the Meteor and
their publication requested in the Detroit
and Cleveland papers.
