We learn that the steamer Merrimack, which became quite popular while on the route between this port and Boston, the past season, is now plying between Boston and Charleston. Capt. Crowell is still in com- mand, and Mr. F. H. Sawyer—for many years purser of the Worcester—is employed in the same position on the Merrimack. Mr. Sandall still occupies the post of chief engineer. With three such popular officers,

passage out was one of the roughest ever ex- perienced by Capt. Wade. Skylights were stove in, companion ways torn away, boats | lust and other damage was done. The Clifton stiled for Pictou this morning. We are pleased to notice that Mr. Blake is looking well after his rough experience.
