DESCRIPTION OF THIS FAMOUS VEssE SK,ETCH OF RER HISTORY -A NAUTIcA • MUSEUM. .The largest vessel that ever:floated i the Thames, or indeed, anywhere else nanaely the "Great Eastern" was bui by Messrs. Scott, Russel & Co., Mil 'wn11 Iron Works, on the Thames, nea Ta!ondon. ;This huge steamship whose subsequen career has hardly been on a par with th interest which was evinced during he construction occupied about six yea' THE HU ON EXPOS1TOR. seems th have prospered, and more than L once she as nearly lost in the Atlantic, through iling to answer her helm, or through a me other accident. Daring! the past summer the Great rn Easte1, as been one of the attractions of the' iverpool exhibition. She was. fitted up s a nautical museum and has been visi d by thousands of sightseers from bot sides of the Atlantic. A pro- ject is on oot to maintain the vessel as a, perman at floating exhibition. _ 1- .rH • News Notes. s I , i,A building 'having been commenced i 1153, and equipped ready far sailing by Jaamary„ 1860. It was. built for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, and was intended for the Indian and Australian route by the Cape of Good Hope'. During the construction of the asesseL, the preportions of the ship were *teen to great advantage, as she lay with her broadside- to the river, her form being 'to- a great extent free from the forest poles: which usually serves as the stage used in ordinary ship -building. The hull of the vessel. is built entirely of iron, and is 680, feet in length, 80 feet in breadth and 58 feet in height from keel to., deck. The ship is divided trans- versely in ten separate compartments, of ti0- feet each, rendered perfectly water- tight by bulkheads,: having no openings' whatever lower than the second deck, whilst two longitudinal walls of iron, 36 feet apart, traverse '350 feet of the length of the ship. Some idea of the magnitude- of thee dimensions may be formed when it is stated the Great Eastern is six times the size of the Duke of Wellington's Ent -of -battle ship; that her length is more than three times that of the monu- ment on, Fish Street - while her breadth, is equal to the width of Pall and that a promenade round, the deck affords a walk of more than a quarter of a mile. . She was designed by Mr. Isambard Kingdom Brunel, F. L. S., the "father at transatlantic steam nava- gation.." The bottom. of the ship his al- most flat. Upeto the water mark,' the hall is- constructed with an . inner and outer skin, nearly three feet apart, , and each composed of three-quarter inch plates-. between these at intervals of aix feet, run horizontal • webs of iron plates, which- materially increase the power of resistance, both of the inner and eater skin. Abont 10,000 tone of iron plates were used in the construction of the hull. 'These plates are 30,000 in and arle each secured by 100 iron rivets. The distinguishing feature of the Great Eastern in addition to her vast size is the earabiaed application 'of steamspower ttrongh the paddle wheel and. the screw. The engines are corn aiderably larger than anyettitheato Made for marine purposes. The vessel. has tee boilers and five:fannels„ and • the healers are placed longitudinally along the centre of the ship,. and are entirely independent of each other. Each pad- dle boiler has ten furnaces; and each screw boiler twelve furnaces, thus giving to • the whole the large number of one handred and twelve furnace. Inde- pendent of, her, m stea-power, her means et propulsion are aided by six. masts, no less than 6,500 square yards of eaavas being used in the construction of her sails. The paddle -wheels are fifty eight feet in diameter and the engine shaft 160 feet in length. The ship was de- sigaed to. accommodate 4,000 passengers -800 first class, 2,000 second class, and ',Dia third class-seindependently of1 the complement of about 400 haads. Her registered tonnage is 53,000- 1. The first attempt -0 float this monster vessel Was 'made in November, 1857, but ansuccessfully. On Sunday, January :Ilea. 1858, however, in the presence of a vast concourse of spectators, she yield- ed to the hydraulic pressure that was brught to bear upon her, and glided slawly but gracefully into the Thames,_ where she lay at rest, while being fitted tot sea, till November, 1859, where , she was towed down the river to Gravesend. itt tne- following June the Great Eastern made her first sea trip. Iti.may be of iater- est to record that when first floated, the vessel registered sixteen and a half feet aft, and fourteen feet eleven inches .for- ward, at within six. inches of the amount calculated. In a -work entitled "A Floating City " by Jules Verne,. some interesting par- ticalars of the great ship and its subse- quent career are given. From it We learn that __after twenty passages from Eugland to America, one of which was marked by very serious disasters the use of the Great Eastern was temporarily I` abandoaed, and this immense ship; ar- ranged to accomtnodate passengers, seemed no longer good for anything. When the first attempt to lay the At- lantic cable had failed -partly because the number of ships Which carried ihwas ineufficient-engineers thought . of the Great. Eastern. She alone co.uld store ea board the 2,100, miles of -metallic Wire, weighing 4,500. She alone, thanks to her. perfect indifference to the sea, could earoll and immere this immense cable. But special arrangements were necessary for staring away the cable in the ship's hold. Two out of six boilers were removed_ and One funnel out of three belonging. to the ;serew engine .1; in their places. large tank a were placed for the cable, which was immereed water to preserve it from the e:ffects of varia- tion of the atmosphere; the wire thus passed from these tanks. -of water into the sea without suffering the least con- tact with the air. The laying of the cable having been successfully accom- plished and the object in view attained, the Great Eastern was once more left in her costly idleness. The vessel was afterwards takenin heed by a French company,. which ;was floated with a capital of 2,000,000. francs, with the intention of again conveying passengers across the Atlantic,. and the - immense ship was accordingly re -arrang- ed for that purpose. The interior of the'ship was fitted with every eanvenience„ and every luxury to suit the requirements of passengers. The ladies' saloon and the grand saloon were ornainented with lastrcs„ swinging lamps and pictures, and the magnificent rooms lighted by side sky lights, sup- ported an gilded pillars, and -cammuni- eating with the upper deck by wide staircases with metallic steps and ma- hogany balusters. The laundries and the crew's berths are shutoff at the fore part ; an deck are arranged four rows of cabins/ separated by a passage, and at the stern three immense dining -rooms run it the eame direction as the cabins. A passage leads from the saloons at the stern to those at the bows round the paddle, eagine, between its . sheet -iron partition and the ship's offices. . The ill-fated vessel, however, .neVer V. H.

Sir: The Col- umbus Watch that I purchased from you 'about a year ago is a beautiful timekeeper, and I am well pleased, as it has given me entire satisfac- tion.

Dear Sir: , The Columbus movement I. purchased from you sonic time ago, in a Boss filled case, is as repre- sented, and I don't think there IS any watch made in the wOrld that will keep better tinie, as mine has never varied since I purchased it, and I would tell everybody to get a Columbns move- ment when wanting_ s good watch.
