been bestowed in rendering her a comfortable passenger-
ship, as well as a good seagoing craft. The exertions
made to secure these objects were duly appreciated by the
public, and the result was an extensive complement of
passengers 'and a large cargo ; and on the day appointed
she sailed with 360 passengers, 600 tons of cargo, and'l,4oo
tons of coal. Of passengers there were 84 first class, at
72 guineas each ; 119 second class, at 42 guineas ; and 163
third class, at rates varying from 32 to 25 guineas each.

as to her performances, and no little interest having been
excited by the number of her passengers, an immense
concourse •of people turned out to witness her departure,
and shortly after two o'clock the piers from the Custom
House down to Canning Dock were thronged by multi-
tudes desirous of seeing the good ship sail. Besides those

On approaching the vessel, she seemed heavily laden,
and sat deep, yet majestically in the water, her water
draft at the stern marking twenty-one feet, while she evi-
dently-sa-t deeper at the bow. Having received the prin-
cipal portion of her mails, at a quarter to three o'clock, a
signal gun gave notice that-she had raised her anchor and
was under weigh; proceeding downwards she was saluted
by •the Arabia and other vessels which lay close by.
The • Great Britain returning the salute as she passed,
glided gently down till she came abreast of the Custom-
House, where, having fired a full salute and made some
necessary arrangements, she put on more steam power,
and shot rapidly down the river, keeping close to the
Liverpool side, and firing salutes as she swept along. A
considerable number of the river steamers crowded with
passengers, and each having ahand, followed Alongside of
her, exchanginc, huzzas, and playing appropriate airs. In
this 'company le proceeded several miles, when, having
given three hearty cheers, which were reciprocated from
the deck of the Great Britain, the river craft, hauled off
and returned to port, leaving the gigantic ship to steer
