EXCITING RACE ON THE ATLANTIC.

Great indignation was expressed by the passengers who landed at Liverpool on May 23rd from the White Star liner Majestic, at the treatment their steamer is said to have experienced by the American liner Paris, on the voyage from New York. The Majestic left Sandy Hook half an hour later than the Paris on the 16th, when the latter was out of sight. The Majestic, however, overhauled her rival on the second day and the two •tteamers ran neck ane neck almost till the 19th at noon, when the Majestic was slightly ahead of the Paris. At this time the latter steamer came up astern, and passed the Majestic on the port side, afterwards signalling that he intended crossing the Majestic's bow. This she did at no greater distance than 200 or 300 yards; bo close indeed, that there was no difficulty in reading the name of the steamer Paris. Captain Parsell, of the Majestic, slowed down, otherwise a very soriouß disaster might have happened. As it was, the Majestic's passengera say that shortly after this incident a fog suddenly obscured the horizon and they aver that, this crossing of the Majestic's course was gratuitous for the Paris shortly afterwards returned to the southerly course from which she deviated with such risk. At Southampton there was great excitement when the Paris arrived. When the liner had been berthed, Captain Handle, commander, was and, said after Jeeaving New York the Majestic remained astern the Parh until last Satnrdiy morning, when she crossed the bows ..1* the Paris from port to starboard, and remained on the Btarboard side of the merican liner until between three or four the same afternqon, tfoe distance between the vessels being about half a n ile.
