Packet De Wit Clinton ut Cork.

The arrival of the New.York packet ship De
Witt Clinton, Captain Funk, at Queenstown, at
ter for six weeks attempting to get to the west
ward has been reported. We append a letter
from passenger addressed to a gentleman In
Liverpool The De Witt Clinton, oil Cape Clear,
Wednesday, 22d January, 1851. My dear friend
| cannot permit, after your kindness to me- any

out among the passengers, and spread alarmngly
and rapidly, and we have had eight deaths. ok

Under such circumstances OF awful weather,
and contagious disease on board, Captain Funk
determined 70 bear up for Faya as our water
had become short from the voyage being SO long
and protIaoted and some leakage, by the casks
having shifted during the gales 1t was alter

Captain INK therefore consulted with his officers
and finally determined to bear up for Cork, on
the 18th instant. You will perceive that We made
as much progress in five or six days, as We did
previously in FIVE or six weeks, pretty conclusive
testimony of the sort Of weather we have expe-
rienced. We shall be in Cork TO- morrow morn
