LEI, Bristol on the evening of the I'd of June BY the
pol,epess of Captain Hoskin our news collector was
allowed 10 board her in the bay about four o'clock in
the morning, and before six all our copies English
files were on eur table, including several valuable let
tiers from Mr.. Bennett written between the day OF
his landing in England the 10Th OF May, and the I'd
Of June the day the Great Western left.
That excellent steam ship, the Sirius, we learn
from one of Mr. Benefits letters, made the passage
out in nineteen days to the time of landing her pas
sengers at Falmouth, or emily seventeen days from
land to land. Two days out from New York she
encountered most violent head winds which lasted
for Eve days; great fault found with the coal
which was shipped in New York. The Sirius left
London on her return voyage TO New York at ten
O'Clock on the night of Saturday, the 10th of May
she reached Cork in forty eight hours being the short
est run on record for that distance. The Cork Re
porter OF Tuesday, the 18th of May, said that she
was IN leave Cork for New York on Thursday, the
3lst of May Consequently we may expect her sve-
~ hour. The day after she left Sandy Hook she pas
sed the Siddoas. The st. James which sailed
with the Sirius and Siddons, reached Deal on the
3lst Of May.
The Great Western made the passage out in fifteen
days and nine hours. The following are extracts

The length of Mr.. Benefits valuable and interest

ether foreign intelligence in detail. We have Mr..
Bennetts letter written on the passage, and others
written on the 2lst 23d and 25ih of May, which we
shall publish during the week.
