The steamship America arrived at Halifax at IL
O'Clock on Thursday night. She left Liverpool on
Saturday, the 9th inst.
We are under great obligations to the Purser of
the America for the prompt delivery of our pack
ages to our agent, at Halifax. We are also in
debted to the same gentleman for reporting several
American vessels passed, going into Liverpool, as
the America came out.
The America passed considerable quantities of
ice on the Banks of Newfoundland, and to the
north Of Sable Island. The weather during the
passage from Liverpool was unusually severe for
the season.
The news by the A. was telegraphed to Portland,
thence dispatched, by Winslow and Co.'S express
20 Boston, and thence transmitted, as usual, over
Bain's Merchants Telegraph to this city. There
was some delay on the eastern lines, in consequence
of difficulty in writing through to Portland Bain's
line between Boston and this city worked admi-
rably.
The new steamship, British Queen, left Hamburg
on the I'd inst, for New York.
