SHORT ARRIVALS - 1830.

One ship, we are told, (the Liverpool) arrived at this port [Boston] from Liverpool, having been but three hundred and twelve hours from Cape Clear to the wharf in Boston! We also subjoin, as a matter of record, from the New-York Daily Advertiser, the following statement:

"We have recorded below a succession of short arrivals at this port [NYC] whichy we believe to be unparalleled in navigation, at least, from Europe to America. For the last three weeks the wind, we believe, without intermission, has prevailed from NE variable to ESE but principally at NE. The shortness of these trips will appear astonishing, when we consider that over thirty days is the yearly average of passages from Europe to New York.

Of the above vessels, whose passages have been extraordinarily short, that of the ship Josephine, Capt. Britton, stands the most conspicuous, she having performed her passage from Belfast to New-York, within fifteen days and twelve hours. There have been two short arrivals at Boston; one, the ship Liverpool, which sailed from Liverpool on the 25th of March, and arrived at Boston on the 13th April; the other, the barque Unity, which sailed from Liverpool on 27th March, and arrived on 15th April.
