ARRIVAL OF THE CLEOPATRA.

The Cleopatra, Captain H. Salt, arrived here on Satur-
day, from Quebec, which she left at 4, p.m., on the 11th,
In
passage 13- days. Captain Salt reports
been detained by fog and ice on the Banks of
havingakingthe .
Newfoundland. The Cleopatra had no opportunity of set-
ting canvas from the time of leaving Quebec till within
300 miles of Liverpool, having thus steamed nearly the
whole distance. She steamed 240 knots in-24 hours with-
out canvas. The Cleopatra brings 46 passengers, and a
full cargo of ashes, flour, &c. On the outward passage she
encountered fearful weather, and the full fury of the hur-
ricane of the 17th and 18th April, and put into Portland
previous to getting to Quebec. Notwithstanding, she
landed the whole of her large cargo in good condition, not
a single package damaged by water.

THE EARL op BURLINGTON has been ploughing and
sowing about 200 acres of land reclaimed from the sea, on
Morecombe Bay, in the vicinity of Holker-hall. Several
other plots of land have been reclaimed, all promising to
make good land.
