New Yor, March 23.--The White Star linor Majestic is due, but uv to noon she had not been sighted. On board are Coleman Drayton and Hallett Borrowe, concerning whose actions gociety and everybody else bas been talking for the _past week. All night there were watchers, friends of the respective disputants and others, wai ing for the xe that would tell of the Ma- 1 down the bay. ws expected that aregular squadron of tugs and small steamers would swoop down ‘upon the incoming vessel to receive the first intelligence, whether of » sanguinary nature or not, for it was feared by the friends of Drayton and Borrowe that the threatened duel in Paris | might become an actuality in the narrow con- fines of a steamer.

It may be, however, that Mr. Borrowe comes here to explain his 8 position both in regard to his relations with Mrs. Drayton and bis alleged refusal to give satisfaction. Some of the offi- cers at the barge office are inclined to believe that the Majestic may not arrive in port until atively late in the afternoon, although liable to be sighted at any moment. SIGHTED.
