The Packet of the 20th July, carrying the Mails of that date
will he the splendid Clipper-ship
SHALIMAR,

1,405 tons register, 3,300 tons burthen, Captain A. ROBERTSON.
This magnificent ship is just off her first voyage to the Colo-
nies ; on the passage out and home she far exceeded the expecta-
tions formed of her sailing qualities. She made the run from
the Mersey to Cape Northumberland, within a day's sail of Hob-
son's Bay, in the remarkably short space of 67 days, under rather
unfavourable circumstances ; she attained, however, the high
speed of 420 nautical miles in one day. The entire voyage was
made in 6 months and 14 days, including detention of 45 days
abroad. All her passengers were landed in perfect health ; and
a testimonial was presented to Captain Robertson for his
urbanity and attention during the passage.

The SHALIMAR will be refitted. and whatever experience has
suggested as desirable to promote the cHmfort of the Emigrants
in the voyage will be introduced. The ventilation in this ship is
essentially perfect, an element in the fitting-up of a passenger-
ship which cannot be too highly appreciated.
Carry Surgeons and Chaplains, also an extensive Library.
For Freight and Passage apply to the Owners,
PILKINGTON and WILSON, Water-street, Liverpool.
