very regular steamers, which arrive from Now

port yesterdsylup TO dark. They have been, pro.
badly detained by the severe winds which have
prevailed along the coast for several days, and
they may be looked for to-day. Some twelve sail
OF vessels, which have boon kept hore, left yes
torday, bound to various ccastwise cities.
The steamship Manhattan, under command oil
Captain NJ 8. Woodruff, arrived here last night
from New York with full complement OF freight

boistorous and trying passage South OF Hatteras,
but she was brought through finely by her well-
skilled captain. We refer our readers for list OF
consignees and passengers to the proper head; an6
very complimentary card from the latter to Cap
tain WooDHULL will be found in our columns.
