Such was the resolution as il passed mem. con- We
\ were in the Board of Aldermen that night and NOT
only know every word that passed in relation to the
Sirius, but we know that al that time not only was
! the Great Western not spoken Of, but she was not
Thought of. by any enc present very few nad
heard il said that such vessel coming, but none
NAV ANYTHING of her whereabouts. And in sonfor-
utv withtthc above resolution, Hoxe, in behalf OF
The COMMITTEES i, our presence greeted Capt Roberts
a the commander Of the first steamship that ever
crossed from Europe to America.
=, AT that time, nothing was said about England or
Ireland. This is patry qubbls-we repeat is-a base
msnnuvre raised by Hosken gallant Csptain) IN tho
absence Of Capt. Roberta to heal his own wounded
pride in NOT getting in frst But even taking him up
on this point he will be defeated Fer che Sirius both
m her 6rst and second voyages, cleared at London
for Nec York She took out her only clearance at the
London custom house; she took in her wines and near
lv all her stores there Moreover leaving London,
che took On board ohaRnei pilot this settles the
<luestop) which vessel is compelled 10 do, or ever
does, unIess she Is boxsd foreign! The expense OF
channel plot which is very great, being pad at the
London custom house.
Captain Movie assures us that all he had to do
when he touched At the Company's wharf at Pas
sage (several miles below Cork to pay the dues
for the light house az the of the harbor.
The Sirius did not 90 up to Cork either time. She
remained NJ Passage. She did not touch there solely
20 take in coal, but the grand object was ihs-to
wait ill the Companys branch steam boats brought
them their passengers from Glasgow and Liverpool
She herself brought several passengers each time d.
rect from London.
Hosken's boast about the Great Western having
Goals enough left to take her 1900 miles, is idle The
Sirius had enosgh left each time TO take her loco
miles farther. One of Mr.. Benefits letters speaks OF
this surplus quantity Of coal Neither is tho Sirius
an intsrloper, nor the company to whom she be-
longs That Company bega.' the British Queen be-
fore the Great Western was thought Of The con-
tract was made for her engines with Messrs. Card
Co. Of Glasgow; they failed, and the Company lost
E50o0 By them, this delayed the progress Of the
Britain Queen In the interim, the Great Western
was begun, and every exerton msde 10 forward her.
She was built at Bristol, and lowed round TO London
A. "a n<c~ n "A H. has s.0~r I'd mir

rican Steam Ship Company determined not to be
oudone BY this man0uvre Of the Others and not be-
,as able 70 get Messrs. Napier TO complete the Bri

Of the ST Georges Company, (the directors in both
sompsnies being nearly the same the gallant sinus
and despatched her. And she rtu erer be remcm-
sered the FRS, ship that came from Europe to Ame-
rica by steam, and the FIRST that returned TO England
from New York.
We think then this settles the question of priority

mind)-forever between the two ships Capt Hes
