The foregoing will, we trust, raffia to give our friends a

THZ GREAT BRITAIN It we. elated in Toosaitrit
Eaprams that this noble stemochip had been purchased for
the sum of 18,0001. by Mr. Patterson, the eminent ship-
builder of Bristel. It nerve that Mn Patterson purchased
her for the well.known firm of Gibbs, Bright, aad Co , of
Bristol sad Liverpool. These gestliween were the ages*
at Livergcol foe the Great Westin Bteamwship Company,
and they aro extensively engaged to the passenger and awry-
big trade between the tidied Stator, Awitralia, the Pacific,
and British Meth Altana. It Is Weeded that the large
engine now on board shall be removed,end new ones
adapted. It is not improbable that this.' Leviathan" will
convey a large amber of oar Transatlantic friends to view
