THE STEAMER PACIFIC -Ward's new boat, came up yesterday from Cleveland, where she was getting in her engine. Her running time from Cleveland here was eight hours and a half, allowing that she fully meets the expectations of her builder and when her machinery has been used and got in good order, we may expect some fast time from her. -- Detroit Free press

THE STEAMER PACIFIC.---Captain Salsbury, leaves this port this evening for Detroit. She is represented by those who have seen her move through the water, as a vessel of uncommon speed, and she will no doubt trouble her competition to keep up with her.
