The NEW LINE.-The .NacgregoT, Of the Austria
liam and American Mail Line, which arrived on
Tuesday morning, sailed for San Francisco at 10
O'Clock on Wednesday, with the mails and quite a
number Of passengers from this city. This, the
pioneer of the new line, is a fine, large and powerful
propeller, and her extreme ~length-stated TO be 800
feet-renderei her n novel sight 10 our residents. a
good many of whom paid her a visit during Tuesday.
She is well fitted up for carrying passengers, with a
fine frst-elass saloon, and has many modern improve
ments and appliances. But it was universally re
marked that for n passenger ship, she was in rather
an uncleanly state, and did not compare well in this
respect with boats Of the Webb Line. This was
excused on the ground that she had been hurried of,
Immediately after her arrival in Sydney from China,
without time to clean up. But we learn from the
Sydney papers of the Goth ult, that she arrived
there on Sunday and left on the following Saturday,
having in the interim been 'docked, cleaned,
painted and washed" Unquestionably, more pains
will have to be paid to the internal cleanliness and
neatness of the ships of this line in order that they
become popular with the travelling public. The route
across the Pacific and over the American continent
and the Atlantic to Europe, is evidently destined to
be the favorite one to and from the great colonies of
Australia. The steamship .Afikado is to follow the
.HacgregOr, and will be due here February 9th. The
latter ship will be due from San Francisco Feb. 9th.
