Owing to the rain and strong northeast winds, the steamer John Sylvester did not make her excursion to Cobb's Island yesterday. She went as far as Old Point, and then returned to the city. If the weather is favorable she will make the trip to day, leaving Campbell's wharf at 6, Portsmouth at 6:15 and Chamberlaine's wharf at 6:30 a.m., returning to-night. No one wishing to enjoy the numerous attractions of this island in the ocean should fail to go.
