TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD

Great Britain steam-ship, off Liverpool,
21st June, 1846.

SIR,—As we believe it will 13egtatiTy'ingtt the public
to bear of the success of the Great Britain. steam-ship,
we shall he obliged by your inserting the following :
We left New York on the Bth instant. passing the Light-
vessel at 6. p.m., (11, p.m., Liverpool time.) and made
Cape Clear on the afternoon of the 20th, arriving off the
Ormsbead at 10 15 p.m , this day, where we received the
pilot on board, thus completing the passage in a little over
thirteen days. For ten days out of the thirteen we have
had a succession of easterly a inds, and, although the vessel
was deep, steamed against it on first leavine New York

ten knots, and latterli, eleven and a half and twelve, and,
not withstanding we have had, on some occasions, a strong
bead wind, with a E.N.E. sea, that would have seriously
inconvenienced a paddle-wheel steamer, we never went
less against it than eight and a half knots: the three
days fair winds were so light as scarcely to assist our pro-
gress. This is, under the circumstances, the quickest
passage on record. and the comfort and happiness we have
experienced in this magnificent steamer, under the good
cheer and kind attentions of bet able and excellent com-
mander, call for our warmest acknowledgments.
The following shows the ship's position and distance
run from day to day, and we believe it is not saying too
much to expect that, under the most favourable circum-
stances, she will yet complete a passage across is 104 or
11 days.
