A letter from Liverpool, dated yesterday, in the Times this
morning, says- " The wind continues to blow very fresh from the Eastward. The arrivals from the 'Westward are, consequently, very few. Yesterday one vessel only made port. Even the steamers find it difficult to make way against so strong a head-wind. The Dublin mail-boats, which in ordinary weather make the trip in from ten to twelve hours, have been eighteen, twenty-four, and in one instance thirty-six hours, on the passage from Dublin to this port. The East- erlies will, of course, if they extend beyond the Channel, retard the voyage of the steam-ship Liverpool, from New York. She is due on Sunday next, (to- morrow,) which Will give her fourteen clear days from that city ; but it is not improbable that her passage may be protracted until Monday or Tuesday. The George Washington, the packet of the 7th ult., has not yet been heard of. The steamer win, therefore, in all probability, bring the news of her own arri- val out at New York. The files of papers by her will, however, it is to be feared, be imperfect, owing to the non-arrival of the sailing-vessel with those to the 7th."
