L HE STEAMSHIP WASHlNGTON.-ln Oruer 10
give those an opportunity who are dis
posed to critcse the performance Of this
vessel on her passage TO Southampton, we
have obtained the log, which will aid them
in their calculations. II will be seen
that she landed her passengers at Southampton
in IL days and 90 hours from the time Of their
leaving the wharf at New York 1t also appears
by the log Of the engineer, that the engines were
stopped seven times on the passage, thus making
a total loss of running time of thirteen hours
and fifteen minutes. The hot~ ellis were found
to be too small, and it was the intention of Capt.
Hewitt to substitute hotwells of larger dimen-
sion, which were Immediately ordered in South
ampton, and would be ready to place in her on
her return from Bremen, but not so as to enable
her TO leave Southampton before the 10th inst -

The extracts from English papers, remarking
upon the capabilities of the vessel, which we
publish in another part of the paper, are as iber-
al as could be expected from such source, but
they are by no means correct.
The mails and passengers for Havre, were, I'M
mediately. on the Washington's arrival, taken
over by the Southampton Company's steamer,
where they were landed, at the same time, with
the mails by the Britannia.
