The new steamer London left Chippewa for Buffalo on Saturday last. A gentleman who was on board at the time informs us that the engine worked admirably, and that in speed the London outstrips even the Emerald, and that she afforded every indication of proving a first rate sea-boat. She is a magnificent vessel, in model, equipment and power, and under the command of such an experienced officer as Capt. Van Allen, can hardly fail to prove first favorite with those who are led by business to traverse the waters of Lake Erie. [Niagara Chronicle]
