CITY.--The papers and private letters from the
United States and Canada do not add at all to the
copious information which given from thence in
the " Morning Herald'' Of this day. They convey
the impression, which responded TO here by parties
who have received advices from New York, that
there will not be any hostile movements between the
government Of this country and the United States,

must now ensuc to favorable issue.-lHorning

from port TO port in fifteen days and the latter also,
having performed the passage in two days more than

her copper. The average of her passages out was
l5 days and home IL days. the shortest passage out
was lia days, and the shortest home I2I. About
1000 passengers had gone in the ship After auding
to the great expense necessary to combine speed,
curity, and enjoyment, II expressed hope that
through the berality Of the American Congress the

and thus saving Of nearly El0OO year wend be
effected. the company have decided on construct
ing their vessel Of IRON for which the prepars-
tons far advanced. IL appeared from the state
