BETURN OF THE GREAT 133.1 TAT FROM U
TRIAL TRIP. —We have noticed the performances of this
fine steam-ship to far as Holyhead. The Great Britain re-
turned from hertii.,l trip to Liverpool yesterday. We have
pleasure in announcing the entire success of the whole trip,
and that her compasses were as correct as in any wooden
vessel. After landing a part of her company at Holyhead Et
six, rat., on Monday night, she shaped her Collike with A
fresh head wind for Tuskar. At eight A.x. on Tuesday
morning she was abreast of the Saltees, the wind up to this
time having been fresh and dead against her. Here it died
away. The ahip's head was turned and the course shaped for
the &aunt Stick. Soon after ten the engines were put on at
full speed, and eo remained, without drawback, for ten
hours, the average rate being fdlly ten knots an hour. The
ship was kept the whole night out, in mid channel. At five
A.M. yesterday morning the engines were turned on again at
full speed, and the course shaped back for Liwri•ool. She
passed the Skerries at thirty minutes past seven, Pint Lynas
at twenty-five minutes past eight, and the Bell Buoy at noon.
