On Sunday, those clippers the Helen S. page and Lightning. both full of New Zealand produce, sailed on their rival course to California. The Hio-Mama (Greyhound) is also full, and although the last to start, may not prove the last in the enterprising race. It is cheering to see three sucli smart vessels exerting their antagonistic poweYs of industry,—relieving us of that produce which we can so readily and so abundantly grow. Although our exports of the present year, to Sail Francisco, may not he so large in amount as those of lust year, it is to be hoped, from a more accurate knowledge ol the market, that
they will yield n much more favourable return- According to tlie statement of the President of tlie'Agricultural Society, upwards of .£701)0 worth of vegetables had been shipped prior to the departure of these vessels. The Helen S. Vwjo has proved herself a fine smnrt ship, mid it is but justice to Capt. Church, her commander, to say lie has exhibited unusual zeal and alacrity in the despatch with which he has got away. In the brief period of ten days, lie beached, examined the copper, and smoked his ship, —overhauled hull and rigging,—received 370 tons of cargo, weight and measurement, and is now speeding to his market.—May a rapid passage and a rich return reward his own aiul owners' exertions.
