Jus, az We're going TO press, we received by
orr Shp-news Collector from the Clyde an Extra
from the office Of the Halifax Morning Post Of
Tuesday. the 9th, containing the intelligence
which will cause the hearts OF thousands, relieved
from the pressure of horrible apprehension, tt
leap with gladness-that the CALEDONIA Is SAFE
IN EsGLAND. As was hopefully believed by the
most judicious, she did return in consequence OF
the terrible storm. The CLYDE arrived at about
! o'clock. We COPY the following whle!l will
be read with JOY, from the Posts Extra:
Never did the peal Of cannon burst more CRATE
fully on our ear than when last evening 1t an
nounccd to ia the arrival OF steamship from
England waking thousands from their SAUNDERS
and thrilling thousands of anxious hearts with the
,idings that the missing steamer had escaped the
iury Of the mighty deep.
4 few minutes before midnight we heard guns
pcaling down the harbor, and soon after rockets
were seen nving into the air from the neighbour
hood of Georges lslaHd
Crowds of persons tlockcd down to the whorvcs,
and two steamers passed up, answering the hail
ings from shore with Acadia Unicarn, and The
Caledonia safe IN England, and then arose
mrltitudinous shout from the wlarvc as the gallant
steamers passed up TO the Cunard Wharf. where
an immense ,hrong greeted them with enthusiastic
cheers.
twill be recollecucd that the Unicorn sailed
down the harbor on her way to England at halt
pas, clock on Monday afternoon About an
hour after dark, not far from Sambro. a light was
discovered bearing up toward hcr-tor rs the
Unicorn carried blue lights, She was distinctly
seen BY the other which, when hailed, proved to
be the Acadia BY the least chance in the world
The ships would have passed. and the tidings that
would have thus been carried home by the Unit
corn would have given rise to much anxiety Tor
the safety of the Acadia.
AS it is, the Acadia wi make the most rapid
outward and homcward trip ever performed across
the Atlantic by any steamer We understand
she will sail to-day for England, and thus, no
doubt carry home the news of her own arrival
here.
The news of the Caledonia 5 safety will be hniled
throughout the whole of this Continent with en-
thusnstic gladness.
The following account of the Caledonas return
is from an English Paper:
Return of the Caledonia.
The Caledonia left Liverpool the 9TH Feb.
with the mails and u large number of passengers.
She had a fair wind and walked the water admira-
blk iorhe three first DAYS; hut on the 9TH the wind
chopped refund and blew very hard from the West
ward On the S,!l. the storm increased and con-
tianed on the 9th, and raised to such tremendous
pitch on the 9th that the fore sturhonrd, the bull
warl1s and cc-houS,. were carried away the fore
cabinilicl with watcr,he passengers were washed
out the bedding saturated and the ruddct sprung.
Part Of the aIterbulwarks and the iron-ra on the

and the larboard paddlc-box partially stove in.
In this dilemma the ship nav gated By hci
sails while they tried to Sccsre the rudder viii

violence on the ll,E. and at 6 O'clock, T. NJ. the
Captain and Officers decided on returning and put

plctcly twisted and useless, and the sea running
very high.

Night She arrived az Liverpool on the Mersay.-
The Acadia was got ready with the extraordinary
