As a good deal of anxiety is being felt on account of the seemingly long passage of this ▼easel, the following table, showing the average passages hitherto made by that vessel, will be read with interest. We do not think there should be any fear for the vessel’s safety In all probability she has either run short of water, and put into the Cape, or carried away acme spars, and put in to refit. If she left on the day stated, she is now 102 days out, which after all, is very little more than an average passage for her, and not shorter than many Home vessels that have lately arrived at other Sorts in the Colony. une 27,1864, from Glasgow, Captain Philips : ?o^i Ve oo a ?
