The bark _Euterpe_, Captain Riding, belonging to the Transatlantic
Clipper Line of Messrs. Judkins & Cooke, left the Mersey yesterday

steerage passengers. The first officer's cabin is occupied by Professor

Peebles, we are informed, has an important scientific mission in the
States, and will not return for six months.
