CUNARD'S BRITISH STEAMERS. The annexed statement of the time of the arrival of each boat, and of the duration of their passages, is from the Boston Transcript. The time is calculated from the hour of their departure from Liverpool to the hour of their arrival in Boston, without deducting the time of their detention at Halifax : It will be seen by the above table that the boats have performed nineteen voyages from Liverpool to Boston. The average time occupied in these passages is fourteen days and ten hours, which, considering the tempestuous weather during the winter months, and which necessarily lengthened the voyages at that season of the year, may be said to be unparalleled in the annals of steam navigation.

They exhibit an aggregate amount of steamboat tonnage, that presents the commercial importance of the west in a strong light. The number of steamboats now afloat on the western and southwestern waters is about four hundred. Of these boats there were built at Pittsburg, 112; Cincinnati, 70; Louisville, New Albany, and Jeffersonville, 55; Wheeling, 20; the residue at Brownsville, Marietta, Portsmouth, and other places, all on the western waters, except four or five built in eastern ports COMMERCIAL STATISTICS.

ANNUAL STATEMENT OF LEVY'S "NEW ORLEANS PRICE CURRENT AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER." "We now present our readers," says the editor of the New Orleans Price Current, "with the annual statement of the commerce of New Orleans, made up to September 1, 1841, instead of October 1, as heretofore. The compilation of tables of receipts and exports for the last ten years, to compare with the present, has been attended with much labor, but such having been the expressed wish of the great body of merchants, as represented by the chamber of commerce, we have not hesitated to meet it, and the greatest care having been taken in compiling and checking them, we think ourselves justified in recommending them to the public as correct. An account of the actual stocks, both of cotton and tobacco, has recently been taken, which conforms with the annexed statements." 1.
