This fine vessel is daily expected by great numbers of intending passengers, many of whom have already availed themselves of the accommodations afforded by her. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the Blackwall accomplished a singularly rapid voyage to England last season, and we may therefore anticipate that her performances in the forthcoming run will be such as to enhance her reputation as a sailing ship, whilst the names of her owners is a telling guarantee that in no degree will the comfort of her passengers be disregarded. The Blackwall will be followed, on the 5th January, by the noble ship Anglesea, and subsequently by a goodly list of Blackwall liners, so that no difficulty need be experienced by those, desirous of choosing a vessel to convey them to London during the current season. Argus, December 11.
