The four Arabian horses brought out by Mr. Rhind, although they have suffered great fatigue during the voyage from Smyrna, and especially in the storm of Friday night last, appear to be very fine animals, and will no doubt be a most valuable acquisition to this country. One of them is sorrel, and another grey, limbed and with fine heads: but it was impossible to get a full sight of the animals on board the Phoebe Ann, standing as they did in their stables, with slings beneath them. We understand that two of them had been brought from the desert only about three months before they were obtained for this country; and that although the voyage appeared in prospect very dangerous for them, by the skill of one of the crew, who had been accustomed to the care of live stock, they were brought over with tolerable comfort.
