We give below, as a fitting and important accom- paniment to the otlver interesting statistical matter im to-day’s paper, a resumé of the passages of all the Atlantic steamships, for the eleven months com- mencing en the first of January, 1862, to the end of November last. The list embraces seven ocoan steam lines, viz :-- the Collins, and the two Cunard Liverpool lines, the Havre lino, the Bremen line, the Glasgow line, and the Philadelphia and Liverpool line. The names of the vessels empleyed, and the passages of which are given below, are the Atlantic, Pacific, Arvtic, and Baltic, composing the Collins line; the Asia, Afrioa, Europa, Niagara, Cambria, Canada, and America, of the Cunard Company’s lines; the Franklin and the Humboldt, of the Havre lino; the Washington and the Hermaan, of the Bremon lino; the Glasgow, of the Glasgow lino; and the City of Manchester and the City of Glasgew, of the Phila- delphia and Liverpool line—im all cighteon steam- ships. The Glasgow, City of Glasgow, and City of Manchester are sorew steamers. In comparing the different trips, it must bo re- membered that the passage from Liverpool te Phila- delphia ia thirty-eight hours longer than to this oity. Wherever ia the tables an asterisk (*) is placed, it has been found impossible to get the correct hour of arrival. The passages have consequently been mado up to even days, and may, therefore, vary an hour or two either way.

Collins line. 1,886 Cunard line, 1,168 Balance in favor of the Collins line .... 087 m8 It will be observed that the Collins steamers have added still further to their fame fer speed daring the past yoar, their trips having averaged shorter than those of 1851 by one and a half on the Lastern, and eight hours onthe Western passages. Tho pas- sages of the Cunard New York line, on the eon- trary, average, in comparison with 1851, seme five hours longer on the Eastern, and eleven hours and a» half on the Western trips. The pas- sages of the Havre lino have also averaged longer than those of 1851, by ten hours each way. The Eastern passages of the Bremen line average about the same as in 1851, but the Western trips have been shortened about twenty-five hours. The Collins steamers have thus mado the quickest trips, both East and West, during 1852. Their Eastern trips during 1851 avoraged two hours lon- ger than the Cunard line. This, however, they have now retriev@l, by leaving their competitors five hours behind on the Eastern passages, and nearly day and ahalf on the Western passages. This is a most satisfactory result for the compamy, and vory flattering to their ontorprising eaptains, and speaks well for tho sea-going qualities of the beautiful vessels they command. In addition to the vessels above enumerated, six other steamships—all propeilers—have made voy- ages across the Atlantie during the past year; but as they were all subsequently withdrawn, it was not thought necessary to enumerate them with the oth- ers. They comprised the Pioneer, City of Pittsburg, South Carolina, 8. S. Lewis, and the British iron steamships Great Britain and Sarah Sanda, Ex- copting the homeward passago vi tbe Groat Britain, which was accomplished in eleven days, six hours, forty-five minutes, (the shortest time ever made wcroes the Atlantic by a screw steamer,) the pas- sages of these vessels were mostly of s vory lengthen- od character, caused, in several instances, by some derangement ot accident tothe machinery. Two of them—the Pioneer and City of Pittsburg—have since boon lost in the Pacific, the former by going on shore betweon Panama aad San Francisco, and the letter by icq at Valpacaian, The §. 8.
