Arrival OF the Baltio-AnOther Wonderful
Passage.


The Collins steamship Baltic arrived in this city
ut six o'clock yesterday morning, and her mails
we're Immediately transferred to the Post Office
authorities, who punctualiy distributed their con-
TENS by nine o'clocl-thus giving merchants and
Others, in the metropolis, opportunity to reply
20 their European correspondents By the Pa:idc,
which sailed for Liverpool few hours afterwards.
The probability Il, therefore, az the Pa,ifc and
Baltic arc the two models Of speed in the steam
marine Of the Atlantic, that advices will be sent
and replied to- between Liverpool and New York,
In twenty days. The Baltic has made the shortest
passage mot the greatest, as enc Of our cotempo-
raries has IT'D record, having accomplished the
voyage In nine days. ihiiteen hours, AMI City
minutes This remarkable voyage, however, was
made un der some adverse circumstances The force
Of the engines was superior TO the strength Of the
wheel floats and fourteen Of the latter broken
during the voyage, thus diminishing the speed Of
the n ,bIo SKIP. The weather, also, was not the
most favorable. However, we have every reason
70 be satisfed with the splendid Performance Of
this American vessel, under the guidance OF her
experienced engineer, and her commander, Captain
Comstock. The only regret we have heard ex-
pressed, is, concerning the sale Of 50 splendid
steamer 20 The CgnaTi line. Scarcely had the
mails been distributed, when IL was generally
announced on Change that the Baltic had been
Opposed Of TO the British company. There was
much aftonishmcnt expressed at such unwelconc

Of the brokers Of Wal street iaqrired, " What
have they sold her fgrl'' "What for why, to
tow the GUARD steamers from Liverpool to New
York. TO be sure" The broker retired to his PEI.

ships are matters Of just pride Tho Atlantic
