FROM LrvrarooL TO New YoRx.

The above table commences on the 9th of
July, but she left Liverpool on the 7th, and made
the first distance mentioned in the table, four
hundred and thirty-fve miles, to the 9th, inclusive
The honor Of having made the passage from
the Old World to New York, in the shortest time,
therefore belongs to the mammoth steamship
Great Britain, and her noble Captain Hosken.
We should think that these results would con-
vince the most sceptical Of the success Of the
submerged propeller. The Great Britain now
stands dsservedly high in the estimation of the
public; and another voyage like the last would
place her in the position heretofore occupied by
the Great Western.
We congratulate Captain Hosken on the very
successful sailing qualities of his noble vessel.

VERY INTERESTING FROM MEXICO.

The steamer Clyde arrived at Havana on the
7th inst. She brought advices to the 23d ult., in
elusive, with the following important items. An
American brig had been reported as blockadng
the port Of Alvarado. Her boats had, in pursr,-
ing loaded vessel into the port, come in encoun-
ter with some armed boats of the Mexicans, and
according to the Mexican accounts, had been dri-
ven off but it seems that they were recalled by
signals from the brig. The latter sailed the next
day. The inhabitants of Alvarado had turned
out en- nasse, and subscriptions to the amount Of
5000 had been made for the erection Of fortfca-
tons.
One brigade OF the army of reserve had march
ed to the aid of the army of the North, showing
that the outbreaks in Jalsco would be suppressed
previous to any movement against the army of
Gen. Taylor. The remaining body of reserve
would remain in the capital till the arrival of Gen.
Bravo, 80 that the forces previously announced
as having collected at Monterey, have been very
much overrated.
From the Castle of Perote, large number Of
mounted guns, and ammunition, lad been sent
to the defence of the city of Mexico.
The steamer Clyde, sailing from Tampico sub
sequentto the lombard nent, announced an
tive cannonading going on between the Mexican
gun boats Queretana and Poblana, and the Anne
rican brig St. Mary's.
The English steam fgate vesuvius had sailed
from Tampico for Vera Cruz, in consequence of
the refusal of the captain of the ST. Mary's to per-
nit bullion to be taken on board the Clyde
much trouble was expected to accrue from this
refusal
The following statement was received by ex-
press at Vera Cruz on the 30th ult: The Cali
fornias have separated from Mexico. General
Taylor has occupied the country at the right of
the Rio Bravo, and had advanced towards Saith
10. The town ofAltamira, distant a days jour
ney from Tampico was in the hands OF the Anne
ricans."
After the bombardment of Tampdo by the st.
Mary's (which seemed to have done no injury, the
Commandant Of the department of Tamaulpas
had called to all the citizens of the province
On the oath June, General Bravo, with his staff,
departed from Vera Cruz to assume his station
as provisional President. General Gonzales Are
valo had left the city of Mexico at the head of
division of the army-destinaton not stated. The
orders at Vera Cruz were for the garrison to be
the alert. especially at night to guard against
surprise. General Paroles had received formal
permission from the grand junta to lead the troops
to the Nerth, and on the 18th accompanied Gen.
Arevalo. Arista was on his way to the capital,
and Ampuda at st. Luis Potosi.
General Rodriguez de Celia has taken the place
Of Bravo in the government of the department at
Vera Cruz.

LONDON, 9th July, 1886
We are still in London, and will probably re-
main here for several days. The fashionable sea-
son is drawing to its close, and, in fortnight, the
west end will be DESERT and the gay parks
empty
Yesterday we returned from delightful visit
to a beautiful seat in the country, where we dined
in company with Prince Louis Napoleon, who
recently made his extraordinary escape from the
fortress OF Ham. He is fine young man-very in
telligent-speaks English fuently, and was full OF
inquiries ofthose who formerly extended kindness
to him when he was in the United States few
years ago. He made special enquiries of Colonel
Webb, who entertained him once at his country
place on Long Island. The Prince talks of going
to South America but from his long confinement
his spirits are low and detected. Fresh air and
liberty may improve him soon.
There is no news here since l wrote by the last
steamer. We are just in the beginning of new
ministry, and nothing of interest will transpre till
Lord John Russell gives his programme Of govern
ment in the House Of Commons.
The war between the United States and Mexico
does not make much sensation here. 1t is gen.
orally believed and expressed, that Mexico was
foolish to provoke powerful and military re-
public as the United States. In other respects,
have no doubt the English people would like,
rather than otherwise, that Mexico was under the
dominion ofthe United States.
Great numbers Of American travellers have
come over this summer, and many are bound for
the German spas and other watering places.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP GREAT BRITAIN
The remarkably short passages which this noble
vessel has made on her two last trips, form the
subject of conversation among all classes of the
community, and particularly among commercial
and scientific men, 1t will be recollecied that her
last trip to England was made in little over
thirteen days, and that she arrived in the harbor
yesterday, from Liverpool, in thirteen days and
eight hours, RAINING time. If the time oc-
cupied in stoppages be deducted from this,
the length of the passage will be reduced to
twelve days and eleven hours, which is the
shortest passage to New York, on record
Before this last performance of the Great Britain,
the Great Western had made the passage in
twelve days and eighteen hours-but the Great
Britain made it shooter.
The following table shows the distance from
day to day, on her last outward passage;-
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1846-07-22

All must allow that this is a moderate estimate.
In the first place, il is made the supposition
that each vessel will, on average, have but
one hundred and twenty passengers, and second
iy, the large sum of Sls6 ,962, is set down in the
disbursement as sum to cover every possible
expense that might occur beyond the regular
OUTLAWS We think it would be nearer the fact to
put down zoo as the regular number of passen-
gers, and deduct at least one half of the sum put
down for contingencies.
1t will be perceived, then, that the first Ameri-
oan steamship company will commence business
under the most favorable auspices, and we hope
the day is not distant when we can congratulate
the country on possessing as numer Gus feet of
steamships as any other nation in the world.
