RETURN OF THE GREAT BRITAT

--4
The screw steam-ship Great Britain, which took bet
departure hence for Melbourne on Saturday', at Ile.)°:d
under the most favourable circumstances, was
to put back, when off Holyhead, owingto a !nisi)*
some new description of pipit).- connected with her.ule;
chinery. Although the accident was not of a sera)!
nature, Captain Gray, after consulting with the engtheer,:,
considered it his duty, at the commencement of
,
voyage, to return to port, and thus prevent the poo
lity of further accident taking place. As the Greetos
Britain will have to go into the gravincr-dock, an' 11
discharge a considerable portion of her cargo, she lead
be detained for some days. Though the report cause,
by the bursting of the pipe was loud, it was unheard ,I.°
unheeded by the passengers, who were not aware of t!
cause of the return until informed by the officers of the
ship. This is one of tho-e accidents' ao•ainst which Pre
vision cannot be made ; and no blaine,''con:eve"t,7i'el
attached to the owners, or those who have superintenu
b•
her arrangements and fittings.—Liverpool Al zo)2, of Yet
terday.
