The BOLIVAR Ii. COOKE.-This bran
new steamer put in an appearance at the
wharf on Sunday last, and was very much
admired yesterday by the many persons
who visited her. We have in a previous
issue given the dimensions Of this new
craft for popular favor, and details as to her
capacity for carrying. She is a twin sister
OF the BransfOrd, and in every respect
comes up to the expectation of her owners
and those interested in having a first-cIass
boat in the upper Cumberland trade.
About IL o'clock yesterday a large num-
Der Of our merchants and others visited the
new boat upon the invitation Of Col. Boil
var III. Cooke, after whom she was named,
and for an hour or more the cabin was the
scene Of social enjoyment. Champagne
bottles were opened, tOastS and sentiments
offered, the boat and its officers compli-
mented, and several bumpers given to the
enlerprlslnS gentleman and genial host Of
the occasion, who to all intents and purposes
was proud of his namesake and glad to see
so many of his friends around him. After
duly christening the new boat, number
Of the party visited the other boats in port.
and paid their respects especially to
The SHIPPERs' OWN-Auother new
boat recently built by Capt. Ryman for the
upper Cumberland trade, and in mort for
the first time. What we have said about
the Bolivar III. Cooke can Falso be said
about the Shippers Own. She is first-class
in all her appointments, and is an orna-
ment to her owners and the trade forwhich
she was built. She is of very light draught,
and can no doubt carry more freight for her
inches than any boat that ever stemmed the
Cumberland. She is substantially built.
