The custom house officials in New Orleans are,
learn, more attentive to steamboats, than usual.
In fact, they carry their attentions and ottcious
ness to such an extent as to become odiOus in
petty anuoyances. The marine law requires that
vessels shall have the full name the hull also
the port where built or owned; and possibly it
requires steamboats, to have their full name on
the side or whee-house Now, the Nicholas
| Longworth-a rather long time-flled ali these
requirements, but the sharp agentin New Orleans
peCkng about for flaws discovered that the name
the sides of the pilot-house was abbreviated to
g N. Longworth." Before Capt Irwin could
| leave port he was compelled to take out special
permit for the an. Longworth' though the
\ Nichas Longworth I on the wheel-house
| doomed out big enough and long enough for any
| one to see.
