ordinary short period of Nine days and
twenty -one hours from dock To dork-
She left the dock at Liverpool at o.
clock p. M, and reached the dock at
half past ten.
THIS, we believe, Is the shortest pas
sage ever made between The two porls F;
the Asia's shortest was ten days nine
hours and thirty minutes; and lEat
by the Pacific in September last, ten
days, four hours and forty minutes. The

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
The British Mail Steamer America

rived at Boston, Friday noon. She was
detained about 30 hours by The ice off
Race Point otherwise she has had Il
good passage.
She encountered severe gale on her
passage from Halifax.
The American steamer Atlantic has
been plac, d in a Dry Dock in Liver

much less expense than WAS supp sed,
and will he ready tor sea in June next.

Times says On The simple question
Of Tree trade and protection the Issue
could not be doubted"
