which we published last night, there is a In an extract from the N. C. Daily News,
mistake in the time of the Loudoun Cavite on the run between Woosing and Singa pore. It is stated that the length of tho ran was seven days six hours, whereas it should have been seven days eighteen hinuts, as she passed Woosung about noon on the 50th May, and arrived at Singapore at 6 .. on the 6th Jane. The reports in the Shanghai papers differ considerally and aro
by no means uniform or exact, As the subject is of interest we have taken some trouble to secure reliable data, and the fol- lowing table, taking Woosung as the starting point, is, we think, correct:-- Glencoe.--

It will be seen from this that the Glencoe beaten the London Castle by fully 12
