It will be remfmbsred that this vessel made the passage from Liverpool, including detentions, in the short space of fifty seven days; so now she Jhas fully proved: her fast steaming qualities, and as she is to be placed in the intercolonial trade, ;will : no- doubt prove a great f :vorite. ; She is commanded ■by Captain Thomas Logan, a gentleman^well known when commanding the steamer Citizen, who has at all times won the golden opinions of the /passengers j — Melbourne Argus. ■ -;.'*' ':':.
