CLIPPER-SHIP LIGHTNING -This fine craft was advertised to sail on the 20th instant, and in accordance with the characteristic punctu-ality of the Black Ball Liners, she moved down the Bay in tow of the steam-tug Washington, on Sunday morning, about ten o'clock. Some attempt was made to stop her by the Comman-der of H. M. brig Fantome, but Captain Forbes succeeded in getting to sea, having arranged the matter in dispute. The steamer left her about ten miles outside the Heads at 3 p m , and she started on her voyage with a fine wind. She is expected to take home answers to the letters by the Great Britain, in a line which will render the communication the most rapid yet accom-plished.

The beautiful clipper Ocean Chief is the suc-ceeding vessel of the Black Ball Line, and sails on the 6th Sept, for Liverpool.-Wednesday's Argus._
