fas New York, Sunday, August 2%, 1847, Arrival of the French Steamship Misourt, fcom Cherbourg. The Missouri, the third of the French Trans- atlentic steamers, arrived at this port about seven o’clock last evening, and reached her dock at a quarter past eight, from Halifax, | whenee she sailed on Wednesday, the 18th inst., at 5o’clock P. M., making quite a fair passage trom Nova Scotia to New York. We are indebted to M. Lefebvre, the secretary of the captain, and officers, and one of the re- porters of the journal Le Commerce, for the tol- lowing particulars: — The Missouri left Cherbourg on the Ist of August, at one o’clock P. M., and after her de- parture met with contrary winds and strong head sens, On the 18th of August she was within two hundred miles of New York, when the engineer announced to the captain that there were but a few tons of coal remaining in the buokers. The next morning nota single bit of coal was on board of the Missouri, when fortun- ately, at about 3 P. M, they met with the British revenue cutter, ‘ Daring,” which gave her assis- tance and furnished her with a coliier, having a full cargo of coal, which being transferred to the Missouri, enabled her to reach Halifax at four o’clock on the evening of the 16th. On the 17th, the Missouri was furnished by Mr. Cunard, one of the directors ofthe English steam- ers, with all the coal necessary for her passage to New York, and she arrived here without any other accident last evening. sir The Missouri was thus but 21 daya,on her sage to New York via H litax, which indu us to suppose that she could have made her trip | in fifteen days had ber supply of coal been suffi- cient. f Tne want of coal is attributed to an errorin the calculations of the furnishers, and to the small space of the holds. However, the experi- ence of this trip will be sufficient to prevent any difficulty of the same kind for the future. The interior of the Missouri, her cabin, her parlor, her bed-rooms, end her machinery, are similar to those of the Philadelphia and the Union, Tne following is a list of the officers of the Missouri: as VM.

So much for the steamships and packet ships leaving the port of New York.

Stoneall; and | when his name was announced, he was greeted | with loud clapping, and other demonstrations of | appluuse. | “As goon ap sileace prevailed, James T.

The little 1 can say, however, I will endeavor to inake #8 concise as possible.

A voeiferous burst of applause followed this reply, which continued for some minutes. Nine cheers for the gallant Lieutenant Charles G. Alverudo Hunter, were then proposed, and heartily given The numerous friends of the recipient of these honors stepped upto him, shook him warmly by the hand, and congratulated him on the occasion. Three cheers were then proposed and given | for the New York Regiment ia Mexico, and the company separated, Lieut. Hunter being the hap- piest man among them, and all well pleased with tae presentation. The sword is a beautiful and costly instrument. It was manufactured to order by Col. Drucker, of the firm of Horteman & Oo., Maiden Lane, and bears the following inscription:—“Present- ed to Lieutenant Charles G. Hunter, U.S. N., by his fellow-citizens of New York, for his gal- lantry in the capture of Alvayado and Flacotal- pam, while in command of the U. 8. steamer Scourge, on the first day of April, 1847.” At antic Steamers.—The Guadalquiver, Cap- tain Hoskens, advertised to leave Liverpool for this port, we see by the last accounts, is further | detained.

According to previous arrangement, the steamer New Haven wad at Pier No. 1, North River, at about 4 o’clock on Thursday afternoon, in readiness to convey the New York delegation of Henry Clay’s friends to Cape May, in order to pay their respects to that distinguished gen- tlemaa, and invite him to vistitthe metropolis, Some time before the hour ef starting, a large crowd of speo- tators had assembled on the wharf,choering thelr friends. who answered them in the thundering tones of « beau- tiful brass cannon,which had been'provided for the occa- | sion, At length 6 o'clock arrived; friends parted, all went “ashore that were going,” and the New Haven | started off, receiving nine hearty cheers as she put out, and returning through her passengers three times three of the same sort, spiced with the brazen notes of the gun aforesaid, If the passengers could have made choice of an evening for the trip, they could not possibly have selected one more lovely. | There was until after bed time a half-full moon, | which shed « silvery veil of beauty over all around; the wind, which was but moderate, was, and had been for | thirty-six hours blowing off shore, so that the sea was | only just agreeably agitated, and the New Haven sped | along as if she were traversing the waters of the placid | Hudson, instead of ploughing old briny ocean’s waves. In | the bay there was afresh breeze, but after we had got to sea we were agreesbly surprised at the absence of the | swell which we had expected. At an early hour supper | was announced by an ebony colored lump of good na- | ture, who bad already been ding-dong-ing upon a huge hand bell, an unbarmonious accompaniment to his song of “ All gent’men hav’nt paid their passa-g-e please call up to de captain’s office and pay dere passig.” Over an hundred hungry men were soon losing their appetites ‘at the supper table, and right good justice was done to the viands of that board before the cloth was removed. After supper the passengers met in the gentlemen’s cabin, and organized a meeting of the Now York delega- tion to make arrangements for the next day. Nicholas Dean, Esq., was called to preside, and Mr. M. G. Hart was appointed Seoretary. The meeting being thus arganized, Hon. Furp. A. Tattmavor, offered some remarks, stating the nature of the present errand to Cape May, vis: to pay a visit of respect to the Hon. Henry Clay, and to invite him, on the part of the citizens of New York, to visit them be- fore he returned home. He proposed that a committee of three be sppointed by the Chair, which committee should designate a person to perform the duty, on the morrow. of addressing Mr. Clay, and expreseing the views of that portion of the oltisens of Now York, which are represented by those of their number now on board this boat. Mr. H. Greecry proposed as an amendment, Mr. T.’s resolution, that » Ccmmittee of five or seven be appoint- by the chair, which Committee would of course choose their own to perform the requisite ty. ON. Marrusw L. Davis was in favor of « Committes of 13; he said he always liked large Committees. The chair then proposed to the meeting a Committee of 13— Lost. A committee of 7 was then proposed ani ap- proved, and the following gentlemen were appointed to aot as qgid Committee :— Hon F, A. Talmadge, Hon. Morris Franklin, Matthew L Davis, James A. Coffin, Horace Greeley, Nicholas Dean, Amory Gammage. The Committee retired, and after an absence of half an hour, returned and reported the following arrange- ments, which were read by tho Secretary from minutes That N.

Mr. Tallmadge and Mr. Davis were appointed to introduce such of the delegation as were not already acquainted with Mr. Clay. The meeting then adjourned, and the company separa- ed to amuse themselves according to their different tastes. Some turned into their berths and courted sleep, som ght amusement in games, and some went on deck and enjoyed the delightful breeze for a time, and then they too took to sleep. Sometime after midnight the clanking ofthe machinery was suddonly stopped, and almost instantly some scores of semi-nude individuals sprang from their berths, and rushed upon deck to find —the men heaving the lead. All right; and new we're under way once more, and proceed without any remark- able incident to the place of our destination, Cape Is- land, whero the New Haven cai to ancho1 a lit tle before 7 o'clock in the morning, about half a mile | from shore. A boat came off. aud the sub-committee went on shore, accompanied by Mr. McCrackan, the New Haven delegate, called upon Mr. Clay, and return- ing reported at the honorable geutleman would, meet his friends at 12 o'clock, noom at the Mansion House. ‘The company, a8 oon a8 convenient after | breakfast, landed by small detachments in surf boats; and this same landing, by the way, oocasioned c nside- rable sport. For 25 cents each, the passengers were taken safely through the surf to within a few yards of the shore; and in order to complete tbe distance to dry land, each one bad to mount upon the back of a water. man. who waded with his precious load to a safe place of deposit, far enough up to be out of reach of the curling waves Proceeding to the Columbia House, the delega- tion were handsomely received by the proprietor of the establishment, Mr. Harwood.

We find that Jobn M. Clayton of Delaware, is here, as i also the mayor of Philadelphia, Mr. John Swift.

The hour having finally arrived at which the compa- ny were to move from the Columbian House, a proces. sion was formed in the following order:—First was Mr. Dean, the gentleman who was to address Mr. Clay; he was supported on elther side by Mr. Tallmadge, and mr Hart, the Seoretary of the commi'tee. Next in order came the committees. Then followed the members of the Common Couneil of New York and their officers. and finally the cltisens of New York, walking arm in arm, two abreast. Just previous to starting, it was an- nounced that & band bad been provided to escort the procession, at which announcement a cousultation was had, and finally Mr. Talimadge arose, and stated that as the gentlemen who were about to call upon Mr. Clay and pay their respects to him as private citizens and iriends, {t would appear more dignified to walk without the accompaniment of a band of music; he therefore | iwoved that the musto be dispensed with. Thismotion was curried; but as it was subsequently stated that the baud had been engaged by Mr. Ludlum, of the Mansion House, to come down and accomoany the delegation up it was agreed that the kind offer should be accepted. and we finally started. and after a short march, found our. selves in the epacious hall of the Mansion House, where a large number of persons were already assembled. Here we found that there were delegates from both Phi indelphia and Pagton, i) ogme on the same errand, to invite Mr. Clay to visit their cities - A platform was erected at one end of the room, or which the committees took theirseats. A large number of chairs were placed near the platform, and many 0 them occupied by ladies, richly dressed, while the re mainder of the room was filled by an immense number 0 spectators The band now struck upa beautiful air, and wotertained the audience until Vr Clay war announo~ as abouc to enter the hall A pasaage was cleared, and | for the moment, the etiliness of silence ttavlf wns oh. served, until the tall form of Mir Clay was seen to ap- proach. when % commotion commenoad, und aa soon at he was fairly in the room, cheers, loud and hearty, wore given and repeated.

Mr. Clay then sat down amidst the most vociferous and long continued cheering. After the speeches, the ceremony of introduction was gone through with, Mr Clay receiving the warmest con- gratulations from his friends, who finally adjourned to the Columbia Hotel. xccompanied by their respected guest. It was now but half-past one o'clock, and the time intervening between that and half-past three was passed in conversation, in which the ladies took an ac- tive part. The New York beaux were introduce to the Philadelphia belles, and all things went on charmingly. There was an episode of a most agreeable character in- troduced just here. A charming young lady, who had been the bright particular star of the galaxy of beauty present. in the eyes of all the deka 2 gentlemen, ap- proachad Mr. Clay with » magnificent bouquet, and pre- sented it tohim, addressing him as follows:— At the request of the ladies of the Columbia, I have the honor, respected sir, of presenting this bouquet. May its beauty and fragrance picture to Te the great respect we entertain for your virtues and excellent character ; the same time, we give you a hearty weloome to Cape In end iin pete mnt hope ley your ange may as eful anc as your former days have vom telllisntend wet? * ‘To this Mr. Clay replied in handcome terms, and it was now that a score or two of young gents from New York found out that the fair donor was a married lady, Mra Isaac Suiger of Philadelphia. At length dinner was aunonnoed, and the very largo company proceeded to take their seats at two long tables extending the entire length of the long dining hall of the Columbia. There ini Se pesa probably, two hundred and fifty or three hundred persons. The dinner was good, and well served up; fish and fowl aud the more substantial meats, were there in abundance. The des- sert was well prepared, and disposed of as if it was well like Mr. Clay ovoupled the head of the table, supported by Hon. F. A. Tallmadge on the right, and Mayor Swift on the left. Hon Morris Franklin occupied the place of saes Eeeelaentahongh there was no formal appointment to places. Dioner being over, and night being near. it was neces- sary forthe New York and New Haven delegatious to think about getting on board the stea: ‘he Phila- delphia aud Trenton committees formed an escort, and, preceded by the band, accompanied the New Yorkers to the shore, where they were to take boats. On the way down, they passed the Mansion House, (where Mr. Clay lodges) and halting, gave nine hearty cheers. On the beach, Mayor Swift, of Philadelphis, made @ parting speech,in which he said many handsome things of our city, and promised our committee that if they ever visit- eee city, they should haye a warm reception at friend- ly hands 4 Hon. Monuis Franxiy replied for New York; and then followed some happy little exchanges of sentiment from several of the gentlemen present. But the parting came at last; and all being on board the New Haven, the pas- sengers were requested to assemble on the upper deck, from whence we gave nine cheers, fired several guns.and were answered from the shore by cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs, not only those in the hands of the men. but our fuir friends also waved us their best wishes, and with them in view we got under way at 6 o'clock, and were soon on our voyage homeward bound. We had hardly got under way when it was discovered that a young man. a guest at the Island, was performing an in- voluntary excursion to New York, but it couldn’t be helped ; he bad been brought off unconsciously. and so putting ‘on the best face possible. he yoce through w th us, and is now prebablr on his return to C Philadelphia.

Mr. Reeve chose for is debut the character of Bill Downey, in Buckstone’s farce of “The Unfinished Gentleman,’ a part in which the late “glorious Jehn” was particularly great; and making the necessary allowance for his inexperience of the stage. it was = performance that promises well for his attaining a high position in the theatrical profession There {a an infinite fund of aeleey, fa his eye, aud he bas all the indescribable humor in his smile that we re- meinber in his father’s.

His reveption on his entrance was most enthuslastic,aod he was called for by acelamation at the end af the farce, when he was led on and presented hs Mr. Buckstone, amidet the reiterated cheers and plaudits of the audience. Altogether, we have no doubt of Mr Reeve’s ultimate success if he will but aubmit to a couple of years’ probation in the provingial theatres to learn the grammar of his art. ‘Ihe comedy of “The Boaux Stratagem,”’ in which Ms. Buckstone played Sorub for the first time, preceded the farce, with the utmost favor.
