Arrival OF the BaltIe-QuieI<est Passage over
made.
The American steamship Baltic arrived at
New York on Saturday morning, the 10th IN
slant, at halfpas six o'clock, having left Liv-
erpool at quarter before five in the afternoon
of the 9th. She has, therefore, made the pas
sage in nine days, thirteen hours, and forty five
minutes OF apparent time, to which add five
hours for difference of longitude, and it makes
nine days, eighteen hours, and forty-fve min
utes Of real time-this being the quickest pas
sage ever made across the Atlantic, and some
six hours shorter than the celebrated passage
of the Pacific.
The arrival of the Baltic was in time to en-
able the Pacifc-whch vessel sailed at noon of
the same day-;o take out return advices, de-
livering them in England probably within
twenty days of the Baltc's departure, which,
as New York paper remarks, will be quick
work indeed.
Among the Baltic's passengers are Horace
GREELEY, of the New York Tribune, and A.
M. HoLBRooK, of the New Orleans Picayae.
