THE TRANSATLANIC STEAMERS'
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—Under a new arrangement'
intended to be retained in constant force, the Africa
left New York on the Ist instant, some three hours
and a half later than the usual period of departure.
Her mails were received on board at 11.30 A.m., but,
in order to afford time for mercantile letters of Inter
date to be transmitted, her ultimate departure w 615
postponed from the usual hour of noon until half-pal
three o'clock p.m , when she set forth under fra
steam, passing Sandy Hook precisely at five P.J.
During the greater part of the voyage the Africa en-
countered somewhat unfavourable and boisteevus
weather, and her run, although accomplished. in a
remarkably brief space of time, cannot be compared
with the fastest voyage of her sister ship Asia. On
miles one day only did ter speed exceed 300 ; apd
her voyage, therefore, can be reckoned only as a very
f
fair average. She steered her course via tkie nortb
Ireland, making Innistrahu!l at twenty !minutes past
four on Saturday afternoon, and s,hortly after eleven
o'clock yesterday morning steamed past the Roe,:
Lighthouse, after a run, mean time, of 10 der, 1'
hours, and 36 minutes, or some ten hours longer than.
the Asia's swiftest run. She brought about sixtylo,;`,;
sengers, the usual mails, a fine cargo, and 225,0 v"
dolls. and 7441. sterling specie on freight. On her out-
ward voyage the Africa encountered weather of 1
I‘.
truly tremendous character. From private sources, we
learn that her performances throughout were mag°l:
ficent, and that she rode the enormous sea with ad'
mirable ease. The United States' mail stearrt'srs
Baltic, Captain Comstock, arrived out at New York
9.30 A.M. on the Ist inst., after a run from LiverP°,"
of upwards of 171 days. She a „
ppears, however, '-
have encountered during her voyage a series of duns'
ters, owing to the terrible weather which she
rienced, fully accounting for the unusual length 0d:
her passage. From Liverpool, it wilt be remembere h
she cleared about 6 P.M. on the evening of the 14
ult., during a heavy gale if wind from the westward'
From the random unofficial reports which hays
reached us it appears that, from the nature of the Isei•.
off the bar, she was unable to land her pilot, andfily
compelled, therefore, to carry that officer out- to vle„,
York. During the first ',lire days out there was,„
abatement in the gales and her cabin lights welt
stove in by the heavy seas which broke upon be,
stern. She steamt.4d OD, however, direct for Ne_,
York, until the morning of Saturday, the 28th to"
when, from the length to which her voyage had e!:
tended, she ran short of coal and her course was
,b,
changed for Boston. Cape Cod Light was Ilu2
at 7 P.M. on the evening of the same day, but, to e
weather grew foggy, it was resolved again to change
her course, and she accordingly made for Provinc
aru.
e-
,.
town harbour, where she arrived shortly afterwards'
Many of her passengers then left her, en mule w°
Boston. Her mails were also landed and forwarf
to that city by express, six teams being engage d
carry the 48 bags of which the mails consisted, gifii
after one slight accident, arising from an overturn;
the whole were safely delivered at Boston, and the!'
dispatched to New York. Captain Comstock, map
while, purchased a cargo of coals, and on Tuests.s.l!.
the 31st ult., started again for New York, wilily*
as reported.—Liverpool Albion.
