NEW YORK HERALD.


The American steamship Washington, Captain
Hewitt, from Southampton, has been at sea near
ly fourteen days, and is about due. The heavy
north west gales we have experienced during the
past two days have no doubt somewhat impeded
her progress; but as she made her outward trip
in QUICKER time than the Britannia, it is our i'm
preston that she will make her voyage home
compare as favorably with the Caledonia's.
The Washington will bring five days later in
teligence from England, and her arrival is anx-
iously looked for. We are prepared to see ano-
Their long list of failures, and gloomy accounts of
the revulsion; but as every day brings the bottom
nearer and nearer, we are under the impression
that we shall see something in our advces from
the other side, by this steamer orithe next, giving
some hopes of mitigation of the evils weighing
so heavily upon the commercial community Of
Great Britain
