ARRIVAL OF THE VICEROY. NEWS FROM IRELAND. ae Imtense Steam Excitement im Galway, Ge, dic., doo. About half-past 11 o'clook, yesterday forenoon, the Viceroy, Capt. Robert Ewing, arrived from Galway. Ireland, in the North river. She brings Dublin and | Galway papers of the Ist inst, the day of her de’ parture. Bho sailed from the noble harbor of Galway at forty-five minutes past 9 o’olock, on the morning of the Ist of Juno, and was therefore, fourteen days, one anda quarter hours reaching this port, but thirteen days of sailing time, having been detained upwards of twenty-five hours in Halifax, for coal. Ske made tho pasengy to Halifax in ten days, seven hours and forty- five minutes, having arrived there at half past 5 o'slook on Tuesday evening. She encountered vory heavy head gales during the entire passage. On. arriving here yosterday, one of our reporters boarded the Viceroy and furnishes the following dea eription of her :—Length, 220 feet; breadth of beam 27% feet; Depth of holil 17% feet; tonnage 800 tons Her horse power is only 360, whereas that of the Cunarders is 80. She looks long and sharp, and ap- pears to be a ship that would makgrapid sailing in fa- vorable weather, She was built in Glasgow, in 1846. by Robert Napier for the Dublin, Glasgow and Cork Steamship Company, and bas been used as # packet ship during that time. For a steam vossel of her sise and horse powgr, and considering the adverse weather trong winds ahead, and the weather foggy—she hae made s very fair passage; and no doubt if she gets fair winds or cxlm weather, she will make a rapid run home. She made on one day, 80 high as 300 milos, and her loweat speed was 170 miles. Sho left Halifax at \ past 6 S'clock on Wednesday evening. She brought 22 first class passengers and some freight. She is the » first steamer that ever crossed the ooran from an Irish port, The following are the names of her offcers :— Captain, Robert Ewing ; first mate, William Henry Murray; first engineer, Archbold David Hamilton. The following observations from the Galway paper are Just and true :—“ The vessel sits lightly on the water, and appears to be in first-rate sailing trim. The beau- ty of her build has been the theme of admiration with even the experienced nautical men of our port, who have had an opportunity of seeing some of the most splendid steamers afloat. Should the woather prove favorable we have no doubt but the Viceroy will fally bear out the anticipations already tormed regarding hor railing powers; but should head winds or rough weather prevails sho. of course, would not be calculated to compete with the more powerful boats of the (u- nard line, one of whose swiftest steamers also sails from Liverpool to-day. The Viceroy will sail from this port for Galway on Saturday next Tho news of the state of the country, brought by the Viceroy, is fur from encouraging. The western coast of Ireland ia ins very deplorable condition. Between rack rents, poor rates, and other enormous taxatio the very blood and vitals aro pressed out of the people. It seems, it is neowssary to collect the poor rates by the aid of her Majenty’s war steamors. In reference to the collection of the rates in the Islos of Arran, off Galway, the Vindicator, under date of June 1st, ob- serves:— Poor Rates of Ireland. “Mr. Kernan, the Stipendiary Magistrate, aeeom- pened by Sub-I uapector U nd & large police force, as ben for rome time located North Island of Arran Purpose of collecting the poor rates.
