York.
She left Liverpool at p NJ, on the afternoon
Of Wednesday, the 10Th inst, thus making the
passage across the Atlantic in nine days and slerem
hours. She encountered heavy westerly weather
for the first three and half days, accompanied
by a heavy sea. The engines worked beautifully,
and had not been stopped a moment
She was boarded at sea by the news schooner
