PASSAGES OF THE LIVERPOOL, NEW YORK AND PH!- LADELPHIA WEEKLY LINE—OF THE CUNARD, NEW YORK AND HAVRE, HAMBURG, BREMEN, LIVERPOOL, QUEBEC AND PORTLAND, GLASGOW, GALWAY, ETC., LINES OF STEAMSHIPS FOR THE YEAR 1861, ETO. In giving our usval annual tables of the movements of ocean steamships between this country and Europe, dur- ing the year 1861, we have to record the loss of three ver The first was the United States, which left Glasgow for Quebec April 13, and on the 25th she struck on Bird Rock, in the St. Lawrence, and was lost, withone steerage passenger. The United States belonged to the Anchor Line. The next was the Canadian, which sailed from Quebec June 1 for Liverpool, and on the 4th she struck an iceberg, five miles east of Belle Isle, and went down in thirty minutes thereafter, with two: y-fve pas- Sengers and ten of her crew. The third vorsel lost was the North Briton, which sailed from Quebec November 2, for Liverpool, and was wrecked onthe 6th, at one o'clock A, M., on Paroquet Island, but fortunately no lives were sacrificed. The two latter steamers belonged to the Liverpool, Montreal and Portland line, making five vossels which that lino bas lost in as many years. ‘The steamers of the Liverpool, New York and Philadel- phia line, sailing weekly between New York, Cork and Liverpool, have performed their voyages during the past year with great regularity; and that they stand in high favor with tho public will be seen by the number of pas- sengers which have travelled by them, exceeding thoso carried by any two of the other lines put together. Al- though the only commany running weekly steamers from this port, but one irregularity bas occurred in their sail- fg during tho past yoar,and this was caused by tho Etna being compelled to put back to Cork, in consequence of a derangement of her machinery, on the 7th of August. ‘This company have added a new and magniiicent versol to the ine during tho year, named the City of New York; and, although che has mnde only two voyages, she has already shown what she can accomplish, having beaten the Cunard s! ner Persia, the fastest of that line, four hours on the first passage home. We gave a dese:iption of the City of New York in the Hxraxp of the 3d of No- vember last. The Liverpool, New York and Philadelphia Company’s steamers run weekly during the winter months, as well as in the snmmer, and the tables below include all the wit ter passages, which, as a matter of course, are much Jonger than those made in more favorable seasons of the year, The Cimard lino had one break down during the year— ramely,the Australasian—the only propeller used by this line to carry mails. She left Liverpool February 16, ‘and put back to Queenstown on the 34 of March with two oflanges of her propeller broken. Her passengers came forward in the Arabia on the 8d,and her cargo per Eu- fopaon the 30th of March, Tho Cunard steamers carry Uittlo or no cargo on their eustern passages, Hence the cause of their making much better runs home than to the weetward, The Havro line (Fulton and Arago) have had no sail: ngs from New York sinco the 9th of November last, bay- tng missed two departures, Tho North German Lloyds (Bremen line) haye missed ‘two sailings during the past year—one from New York and the ether from Southampton in November last. Tho Hamburg line only made ono saiiing a month dur- fag January, Febroary and Mirch last, thus avoiding the heavy weather, and giving their steamors the appearance “of boing faster than they are really entitled to, In the following tables of the passages of the various Unes of steamers for the past year we have added fivo ‘hours to the western passages, and subtracted the samo time from those runningtto Europe:— LIVERPOOL, NEW YORK AND PHILADEL- PHIA. + WESTERN PASSAGES.
