TRANSATLANTIC VOYAGES. .
The Asia left Boston shortly after noon on the 12th
instant; touched at Halifax on the evening of the 13tb;
sighted the coast of Ireland on the 21st, after a run of
seven days seven hours ; and arrived in the river,
saluting the town at half•past six o'clock on the morning
of Saturday, having accomplished the whole distance
from Boston in a mean running time of precisely nine
days fifteen hours. She was detained on the bar two
hours.

The Asia's run is, therefore, unparalleled in point of
speed; exceeding even that accomplished by the Europa,
as recorded in our last. From her log it appears that
during two days she rani on each respectively 313 and
316 miles. The Europa's highest runs during any two
days were respectively 298 and 296 miles. Of course,
however, the peculiar weather exercises a powerful in-
fluence in regard to speed. The Europa's run from
Halifax, allowing nothing for difference of time to either
ships, is 8 days 13 hours 56 minutes, against 8 days 7
hours 50 minutes of the Asia; 6 hours 6 minutes being
the balance in favour of the latter ship.
The royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Shannon,
which left the Mersey on the 25th ult., arrived at New
York at 6 30, A.M., on the sth instant; after a run of
11 days 23 hours, inclusive of the detour to Halifax.
The Uuited States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain
West, arrived out at New York at 41-, P.m., on the 9th
instant; after a run, allowing for difference of time, of
11 days 9/ hours. During her run the Atlantic met
with severe weather, and shipped a sea which carried
away her larboard roundhouse. On three occasions the
Atlantic ran 300, 303, and 304 miles in 24 hours.
The Atlantic's and America's runs are, therefore,
about equal, bearing in mind the deviation in the route
of the latter ship.
The royal mail steamship Canada, Captain Harrison,
arrived at Halifax at 9, A.M., on the 11th instant, and at
Boston at 3, P.m., on the 12th.

The steam-ship Viceroy, Captain Ewing, which left
Galway on the morning cf the Ist, arrived at Halifax at
five, r.st.. on the 11th inst., after a mean run of 9i days.
The United States mail steam-ship Hermann, Captain
Crabtree, arrived at New York from Southampton on the
9th instant, after a run of nineteen days. On the 24th
iu lat. 49.42, lon. 21.30, five days after leaving
Cowes, an accident occurred to her larboard engine, and
the remaining 2,700 miles of her voyage were conse-
quently run with one engine. She encountered strong
westerly breevs during six days.—Liverpool Albion.
