TEE LIVERPOOL, STEAMRII.-At present we have no fur-
ther particulars of importance to lay before our readers re•
specting this vessel. If the experimental trip prove success-
ful, which it is confidently believed would be the case, she
would leave Cork yesterday or this morning for New York.
In another part of the STANDARD will be found a letter to
the editor of the Athenaurn, someparts of which are exceed-
ingly objectionable, as reflecting, though unintentionally,
upon parties quite unconnected with the mechanical opera-
tions of the company. It states that the report of the pas-
sengers "lays the blame of the failure exclusively on the
negligence of the Company's agent, acquitting all other par-
ties, even the boat herself." The accredited mercantile
agent in Liverpool is Mr. John Pollock, of Water-street.
For the purpose of acquainting our distant readers, we are
authorised to publish this fact, and that the allusions of the
correspondent of the Atheneum were to the engineering de-
partment, which is quite distinct from the agency, which Mr.
Pollock has so respectably conducted.
