States mail steamship Baltic, Capt Comstock,
arrived here this morning, having made the
run from Liverpool to New York in NINE days
and thirteen hours, being the most extraordi-
nary ocean steam performance on record. This
wonderful trip is the subject of general remark
and congratulation among our business men,
