THE TRANSATLAN/C STEAMERS'
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—Under a new arrangeraebt,
intended to be retained in constant force, the Africa
left New York on the Ist instant, some three hours
nod 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 later
date to be transmitted, her ultimate departure was
postponed from the usual hour of noon until half-past,
three o'clock P.M , when she set forth under fill'
steam, passing Sandy Hook precisely at five l'•°'
During the greater part of the voyage the Africa en"
countered somewhat unfavourable and boisterous
weather, and her run, although accomplished in I
remarkably brief space of time, cannot be cowpared,
with the fastest voyage or her sister ship Asia.
il
one day only did her speed exceed 300 miles ; and
her voyage, therefore, can ha reckoned 'only as a veryi.
fair averege. She steered her course via the north o.
Ireland, making Innistrahuil at twenty minutes past
four on Saturday afternoon, and shortly after eleven
o'clock yesterday morning steamed past the P'o 14
Lighthouse, after a run, mean time, of 10 days, 4'
hours, and 36 minutes, or some ten hours longer than
the Asia's swiftest run. She brought about sixty Pas;
sengers, the usual mails, a fine cargo, and 22,00
dol. and 7441. sterling specie on freight. On her out-
ward voyage the Africa encountered weather of a
truly tremendous character. From private sources vt:a
learn that her performances throughout were WWll-
ficent, and that she rode the enormous sea with ad'
mirable ease. The United States' mail steam-sill':
Baltic, Captain Comstock, arrived out at New York
9.30 A.M. on the Ist inst., after a run from Liverpool
of upwards of 171 days. She appears, however, to
have encountered during her voyage a series of discs•
tors, owing to the terrible weather which she exPe-,
rienced, fully accounting for the unusual length o,r
her passage. From Liverpool, it will be rememberet
she cleared about 6 P.M. on the evening of the 141 f
ult., during a heavy gale of wind from the westward'
From the random unofficial reports which have
reached us it appears that, from the nature of the sea
off the bar, she was unable to land her pilot, anci,rl2,
compelled, therefore, to carry that officer out to .04e"
York. During the first five days out there was 11°
abatement in the gale, and her cabin lights ivel!
stove in by the heavy seas which broke upon he
stern. She steamed on, however, direct for Nei...;
:
York, until the morning of Saturday, the 28th 111"
when, from the length to which her voyage had es„.
tended, she ran short of coal and her course de
changed for Boston. Cape Cod Light was 1139,b0
at 7 p.m. on the evening of the same day, but, as •
weather grew foggy, it was resolved again to chat*
her course, and she accordingly made for Province'
town harbour, where she arrived shortly afterwards.
Many of her passengers then left her, en roll
Boston. Her mails were also landed an 3 forwargeto
to that city by express, six teams being engage-
carry the 48 bags of which the mails consisted, an
after one alight accident, arising from an overturn,
the whole were safely delivered at Boston, and theaca
dispatched to New York. Captain Comstock, weer
while, purchased a cargo of coals, and on TuesdsYs
the 31st ult., started again for New York, arriving
as reported.—Liverpool Albion.
