Sho 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 and aquarter hours reaching thi« port, but thirteen days of sailing time, having been detained upwards of twenty. hours in Halifax, for coal. Ske made the pasrage to Halifax in ten days, seven hours and forty- five ites, having arrived there at half past 5 o'clock on Tuesday ng. head gales during the entire passage. On arriving here yosterday, one of our reporters boarded the Viceroy and furnishes tho following dea” ‘oadth of beam 273 fect; Depth of hol 17% feet; tonnage 800 tons Her horse power is only 360, whereas that of the Cunarders is 820. She looks long and sharp, and ap- pears to be ship that would makgrapid aailing in fa- vorable weather. She was built in Glasgow, in 1840, by Robert Napier for the Dublin, Glasgow and Cork Steamship Company, and bas been used as # packet ‘hip during that time. For a steam vossel of her sise and horse powpr, and considering the adverse weather —strong winds abead, and the weather foggy—she bas made s very fair passage; and nodoudt if she gets fair winds or cxlm weath: he will make a rapid ran home. She made on one day, 80 high as 300 miles, and her lowest speed was 170 miles. Sho left Halifax at \ past 6 O'clock on Wednesday evening. She brought ‘22 first clars passen; and 801 freight. She is the first steamer that ever crossed the ooran from an Irish port, The following are the names of her offloers :— Captain, Robert Ewing ; first mate, Williem Henry Murray; firet 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 beon the theme of admiration with even the experienced nautical men of our port, who have had an opportunity of seeing « of the most splendid steamers afloat. Should the woather prove favorable we have no doubt but the Viceroy will fally Dear out the anticipations slrendy tormed regarding | her sailing powers; but should head wiads or rough weather prevails she, of course, would not be calculated | to compete with the more powerful boats of the Ou nard li: one of whose swiftest steamer) lio snl» from Liverpool to-day.
