DEPARTERE of Tut: .1:-1A.—On Saturday after-
noon, at three o'clock, the British and North Art rican
Royal Mail Steam-ship Company's vessel the Asia, Captain
Judkins. left the Mersey, for New York direct. with the
mail for the United States and the British provinces, and
having on board upward. of 90 passengers, with a good
general cargo of merchandise. From the rapid voyages
recently made, both by this line of steamers and the Pacihc,
belonging to the United States Company, the comparative
rates of sailing have grown into a market fur speculation
quite as much as the duty on hops, the Derby Stakes, or
the St. Leger, and we now find Asia against Pacific, with
the same nunchalrme th.at the field is taken a-zainst the
favorite, or rice reran, at Epsom. Perhaps it ought to be
added that, notwithstanding the Pacific's List voyage, the
Asia still continues the favourite.
