THE SHIP PATRICK HENRY,
FROM LIVERPOOL.


We have another extraordinarily short pas
sage from Liverpool, bringing us London pa
pers to the 24th of December, and Liverpool
to the 25th, both inclusive. They were brought
by the Patrick Henry, Captain Delane, after
passage oftwenty days. Capt D. sailed from
Liverpool on the 25th and anchored in the
Lower Bay on the l4th.
Although the passage has been made in the
midst of tDinter, the Patrick Henry has had
summer trip-light easterly winds, and smooth
sea the whole passage, and not even topsail
was reefed until Monday last, when the ship
was off Nantucket, where there was moder-
ate gale from the westward.
The commercial accounts are favorable
The sales of cotton at Liverpool, during the
week ending oath December, amounted to near

noted.
The British Queen arrived off Cowes on the

The papers abound with details respecting
the severity of the winter, on the continent as
well as in England.
The London papers are making an cutlery

companion and cut it up into cuffs for her own
sleeVes-senteneed to transportation for ten
years, although recommended to mercy by the
Jury; another was on servant girl who stole
:. val "a fri
from her mistress-also transportation for ten
wears; and third on a sailor who stabbed a.
notner sailor, with intent to kill-sentence,
six months in the House of Correction. Ger
tainly there appears great lack of discrimina-
ton in these judgments. MIR. Justice Patter-
son, it seems, is deaf as post; and his infirmi-
ty is very reasonably mentioned as disqualify
ing him for his important office.
