Quick Passage of a sailing vessel

--The clipper ship Andrew Jackson arrived at New York Monday morning from Liverpool, after a passage of fifteen days, with a full cargo.--She made the passage to Liverpool (grain laden) in fifteen days, and on the passage out and home has been only thirty days at sea, including two days calm, sailing over 6,500 miles; thus averaging nearly two hundred and twenty miles a day.
