American Royal Mail Steam-ship Europa sailed on

DEPARTURE OF THE LIGHTNING}.—We regret ex-
edingly that an error, occasioned by the carlessness of
_ _

our shipping .reporter, should have appeared in our
columns, relative to the number of passengers taken
out by the celebrated "Black Ball" clipper Lightning.

ARRIVAL Op, THE Ex-RoI:AL MAIL ST

Mail Steamer Stork arrived in the Mersey. yesterday

afternoon, after one of the most rapid passages on
record, from the Clyde ; —thus fully sustaining the
already high reputation which she enjoys, as one of the
safest, fastest, and most commodious passenger steamers
afloat. We understand she will make her first trip to
Holyhead to-morrow,-to. meet, the Great EaStern and
that she will continue te.ply between Liverpool and
Holyhead, carrying passengers, during the stay of the

Leviathan at that port. •

lIENGLER'S GRAND :CIRQUE ARIETI
Hengler, the spirited proprietor of this place of amus(
ment, cannot but feel •gratified at the " bumper " house
he had on Saturday,,evening, last, when 14s attractive
performers made their first appearance for the season.
The great numbers 'who congregated to the circus amply
testified to the fact that a highly-appreciated place of
amusement was again opened in Dale-street ; and we
must say that it would have been difficult indeed to
exceed the performances gone through on the occasion.
They were, in themselves, not to be surpassed by any
previous entertainments ; and if we only made reference
to the clownish part of the affair, these, strictly speaking,
are a host in themselves. Apart, however, from these,
it will well repay `the visitor to witness the performance
of the mare Diamond. This highly-trainat steed goes
through the movements in a manlier such as to testify
of the diligence and attention that have been bestowed
upon her by the owner. The population of Liverpool
have now an opportunity of witnessing the wonderful
performances carried on in this circus ; and if we take
Saturday's proceedings as a test, we cannot doubt that
enlarged and increasing patronage is sure to attend the
exertions of Mr. Hengfer and his highly-qualified troupe.
