A London cablegram :saps : The Argoey left the Gala° on -tbe 51h instant, 1,250 milee from the Limrd. The rest of the Chatioe passengere were well. The Celtic, prior to speaking the steamer Argosy, •experienoed variable, but on the whole, fairly fine weather. She was perfebtlyeea- worthy andamply.eupplied with provisions. He oaptain wag tie hopes of being picked" up by the Britannia. More a the Oeltioei paseengere would, have gone on board the Argosy if the latter could have accommo- dated them. The four paesengers landed at Faliatouth etat e that at one time ,the gale was so heavy that the Celtic's sails were blown out of the ropes. All the canvas on board the steamer was utilized. The Bothnia was eighted December 29th; only numbers were ex- changed by theetwo steamers. The Celtic's passengers ogneiderecl the captain of the Celtio somewhat dilatory in signalling. It was a week before another vessel was sig- nalled, meanwhile he fresh - prodisions gave out, bub she liaa salt stores enough for a year. On •Seamary 4th the Italian steamer Independeacia, was sighted, when the Celtio salted to be reported "All well" at New York, but declined assistance. The steamer Argosy, offered to tow the Celtic, Mit the offer was declined. 'When it weal learned that the Argosy could take only four passeegere there was greet euitement amovg business men op the Celtic whose time was valuable. Lobs were drawn for the coveted berths on the Argosy. Two of the fortunate four went eni boardthat steamer, and the other two sold their places to the highest hidden/. , A last (Monday) night's Quenstown cablegram says: The Celtics, •ot the White Star line, whieli Railed from New York on the 16th ult., arrived here yesterday. She had only lett New York some twenty-four hours when her meow broke, and the efforts to cross the ocean under, canvas were greatly delayed by head winds 'during the entire voyage. When the Celtic wag some miles from Quednetown, Capt. • Gleadell hove her to, aeeping a safe- distance from 'the shore, kuowing that 'vessels were con- tinually passing, and that some of them " woule safely convey hie ship to shore. He • had not long to' wait, at( the Brit/tunic, another of the'White Star line, soma came up and towed the longlooked-for Celtio into the harbor. The Britanaio hove in sight ofahe Celtio on Saturday at .6 oelook in the morning. Her appearance was heartily cheered by the passengers on the Celtio, from which vesseln beet was sent off to the Britannic with the ohief steward' t&prootne aesupply • of whiskey and brandy, which had run abort. .
