ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBUS.
The Canadian Leviathan—the Columbus, the largest
vessel that ever floated, has reached the British shores.
She arrived off Portsmouth at eight o'clock yesterday
morning, all well; and an express was dispatched to
W. Gilkison, Esq. the principal owner, which reached
him last night, and was announced in The Public
Ledger of this morning. The following additional par-
ticulars were received this morning, by the Agents at
Lloyd's I—
" Porismortti, 31* 1:k yenta, S. W. SLOWMCCI MARV.
eg Pa;sed by the Isle of Wight, this morning, the
Columbus, large timber vessel, NPKellar, from Quebec
—the surge4landed from her in the Fox pilot-boat, of
this port, and pioceeded for London; she was on shore
nth Sept. on Busianiti's Point, in the St. Lawrence, and
lost two anchors."

a NAMIATEN, OCT. 31, Mix-PAST F,vr.
"I have this instant received a report, that a vet y large
vessel is passing, with four masts; has a colour for a pi-
lot ; it is supposed that it must be the Colambuss as no
person here that has seen her can tecollect ever seeing so
large a ship. I have seen the vessel thrdugh a glass, but
have never seen anything like her before, as to size or
length, and am, theiefore, inclined to yield to the opi-
nion of the people. For so large a vessel, she appears
very low masted, but sails fast for such a bulk ; she is
at this moment from seven to eight miles from the land,
weather thick and foul, and looks veep wild—wind
