The first of the China tea clippers to arrive this season at London was the steamer Glencoe, which made the passage from Woosung to the Thames in 37 days. She is a new steamer of 3000 tons gross register and 550 horse-power nominal, and built at Glasgow this year.

The Claud Hamilton is now at Melbourne repairing damages sustained by her through being in collision with a barque in Hobson'a Bay. As these are extensive, it will be three or four weeks before she resumes her usual running. The Union Company's time table for September having been published before the collision occurred, the Claud Hamilton was put down to leave Melbourne on Thursday last. Our telegrams to-day inform us that Captain Irvine's certificate has been suspended for two months. Mr James Gordon Bennett's steamer Jeannette has left San Francisco with the iVeto York Herald expedition to the Arctic seas. Lieut. Delong, of the United States navy, is in command. All the other officers have also been selected from the navy. The crew of 18 men have been carefully chosen out of 1,300 applicants. The expedition will endeavor to reach the North Pole, Lieut. Delong believing that the ice current setting in northward through Behring's Strait will aid him.
