STEAM BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND PRILADELPHIA.

Fesus

Liverpool, Friclay.--.--The Liverpool and Philadelphia
Steam-ship Company have made arrangements whereby
the regular sailings of their line will soon be completed,
which have for a time been disturbed, owing to the strand-

ing of their fine new steamer City of Philadelphia on the
coast of Newfoundland. They have completed a pur-
chase from the Australasian Pacific Steam Company of
their steam-ship Kangaroo, of 1,874 tons burden and
300-horse power, which is new in the Black Sea, but is
ordered home, and expected to be on the station in about
six weeks. Their new steam-ship City of Baltimore, of
2,500 tons burden and 500-horse power (having 5 feet
longer keel than the celebrated Himalaya), is to be
launched in December, and to be ready for work in the
month of March next. They have also completed a con-
tract for a new steamer to be called the City of Wash-
ington, of 2,700 tons new measurement and 450-herse
power, to be ready in June next ; she will be built, as
the other vessels of the company have been, by the
well-known builders, Tod and M‘Gregor, of Glasgow,
and are all of iron. The floating of the City of Philadel-
phia, for more than two hours, with a hole et about 4 feet
square in her side, and on to a good beach where every
soul was safely landed ; and also the floating of the
steamer Vesta, after having her bow stove in by the
Arctic, bears very strong testimony to the safety of iron
vessels, if they have really strong water-tight bulkheads.
SOUTHAMPTON, Friday.—The Tagus, Captain Joy,
belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, left
this afternoon with the usual mails for Vigo, Oporto,
Cadiz, Lisbon, and Gibraltar. The Tagus has on board
forty-one passengers, amongst whom are Baron and
Baroness D'Aerseer, and Captain Lyon, 93d Highland-
ers. Her cargo consists of specie, amounting to 15,8101.
for Lisbon, and 27,8001. for Cadiz, 50 bottles of quick-
env tr, besides cottons, silks, hardware, indigo, &c. The
,text mails from the Peninsular ports will arrive by the
Nia,drid. She is expected on the 3d proximo. The
Candia, with the next homeward heavy portion of the
India and China mails, is expected on or about the 4th
November. The Indus will leave on that day with the
outward heavy portion of the India, mail ; and the Ma-
drid will probably convey the next mail of the 7th
proximo to the Peninsular ports. The Royal Mail Com-
panys st,3ani-ship La Plata will take the West India
andd Mexico mails of the 24 November, and the Atrato
is expected to arrive on or about Sunday
ward portion of that mail, with the home-
