The investigation has, of course, been extended to all the accounts of each department of the bank ; and, after the most rigorous examination, the Directors can speak with confidence as to the entire accuracy of all the accounts ; and they feel satisfied that the system now in operation is sufficient, and effectual in all respects. The extent of the defalcation, and the simplicity of the course adopted by Pullinger, tend to increase the responsi bility which the knowledge acquired after the event may east upon the manager's department ; but the Directors be lieve that no proprietor can forget that Mr. Scrimgeour has been the faithful and zealous manager of the bank since its establishment, and that, during his management, it has at tained its present magnitude and high position. No pro prietary was ever served with more disinterestedness and energy, and the directors feel assured that these services, which the proprietors have acknowledged from year to year, cannot be forgotten on the first reverse which the bank has experienced. The Stock Exchange Committee, in their report of sth June, complain that " the Directors led the public to infer that the enormous sum of M 63,000, embezzled by the de linquent clerk, had been lost by him in speculations on the Stock Exchange," while a loss of "only £53,285 has been traced on account of speculative transactions carried on through members of the Stock Exchange." The directors consider that their statement—" it now appears that :he (Pullinger) had been engaged in an extensive system of time-bargains on the Stock Exchange" —is fully borne out by the figures in this report, supported by the resolution of the committee on the Stock Exchange, censuring Messrs. Bell and Ball " for having transacted speculative business to a most reckless extent for Pullinger," and they do not think it warrants the inference drawn from it by that com mittee. The Directors give full credit to the Committee of the Stock Exchange for their desire to enforce the strict ob servance of their regulation against transacting speculative business for clerks in public and private establishments, as well as for their anxiety for the reputation of their associa tion ; but admitting it to be true, that only a portion of the money stolen has been discovered to have been lost on the Stock Exchange directly through members of that body, there can be no doubt that the bulk of the defalcations has been lost " through an extensive system of time bargains," although all those operations were not conducted by mem bers of the Stock Exchange. The Committee of the Stock Exchange also complain of the Directors withholding from their knowledge that Messrs. Scrimgeour and Co., the Brokers of the Bank, had carried on a speculative account for Pullinger, while they fur nished information to that effect as regards four other mem bers of the Stock Exchange. Shortly after the discovery of the frauds, Messrs. Scrim geouc and Co. informed the Manager, for the first time, that they had had one transaction with Pullinger—which was the purchase of £5,000 Turkish Stock in July, 1856 which they had continued, without charging any brokerage, till 16th March, 1860; having treated it as an act of courtesy towards a person they had known for many years holding a confidential position in the Bank of which they were the Brokers; and as there was no regulation of the Stock Exchange against brokers dealing with clerks at the time the purchase was effected, their attention was not drawn to the rule, as applicable to this case. The manager at once reported this communication to the Directors, who received it with equal surprise and die- approbation. The Directors furnished the committee with all informa tion traced by them in the course of their investigations ; and, if they hail thus discovered any connection whatever between Pullinger and Messrs. Scrimgeour and Co., they would have reported it to the committee, as they reported his connection with other stockbrokers, as soon as it became known to them; but they had no knowledge of this trans aetion, except from the voluntary statement of Messrs. Scrimgeour and Co.—and the Directors felt, and still feel, that they would not have been justified in making such a use of a spontaneous statement of facts of which the Directors could have had no cognizance in any other way. In accordance with their Report on the 24th April last, the Directors have ap propriated towards meeting these frauds the Reserved Fund, which has realised £100,851 15 10 Now proposed to re-debit Capital Account with amount carried last year to credit of that account from Reserved Fund 120,000 0 0 Balance to be paid out of profits of the year £252,00812 0 This course will provide for a dividend of 12s. per share for the last six months, making, with the dividend and bonus paid in January last, a total payment for the year of 121 per cent, on the capital of £720,000, and leaves an un pared. t a o p p lp, r rh o ee p fi r at i : a : ne e du d nl b et a ss l sn a s u e ew c c e sp o ur f ne X et e 3 on ,4 ft e dOnfie next year. we td rt . h. t e o r b e e rations of the past year, and attest the extent and highly su ca lt rri s of the th k e rw o profitable state of the business.

The Directors have now laid before the proprietors all the information they possess with reference to this matter. They had hoped that, on the twenty-first anniversary meeting of the Company, the hitherto uninterrupted Kos - congratulation,pr e e g r r i t e y t o t f l a th t t e h B e Bank andnk expectationsw t e h e l y d h e a a n n v h e ea b tv e eeennd not h er e b a s e t u ‘e en b l j yf u e c si t fix of d u e s n . s m , rt rhhx their believe nitett forby t a n d e e c p o t u i e r n s e thew i e p h e r in they u n t o w i n t un e r : a n t s i m s o f u t s h l y e Bank will be best combined with the immediate convenience of the shareholders.

In February last Mr. Wight, the able and highly-re spected manager of the Charing-cross branch, resigned that office in order to join a mercantile firm, as a partner ; and the Directors have appointed in his room Mr. John St. Barbs, who held, for seven years, a confidential appoint ment in the Bank of England.

" It has demonstrated the Great Eastem's superiority as a seagoing vessel, and the excellence and reliability of her machinery. " The highest speed attained was 141 knots. The ship's bottom is very foul, and an allowance of at least two knots an hour should be made on that account. " The distance from Southampton, as usually steamed, is 3,190 miles, but to avoid the ice she went further south." The Great Eastern is now at anchor between the bar and the Lightship. She will cross the bar at 3 o'clock—the top of high water, and arrive at the city at about 5 o'clock. DETAILS OF THE VOYAGE TO NEW YORK. On Board the Great Eastern, June 28. The Great Eastern was advertised to sail on Sa turday, the 16th of June. Workmen were engaged on her up to 5 o'clock on the afternoon of that day, and before they could be disembarked the weather, which had been stormy since noon, became thick and hazy, so that it was felt by the pilot that it would be dangerous to attempt to take so large a vessel through the intricate channel of the Solent in the uncertain light of the evening, She lay, therefore, at her moorings in Southampton-water till Sunday morning. About 7 o'clock orders were given to unshackle the mooring chains. Such is the ponderous character of these cables that it was some 45 minutes before this could be effected. The morning was raw and gusty, with the wind blow ing down the water. The tide had canted the huge vessel athwart the channel, which she appeared to half block up, but on hoisting the forestaysail she slowly paid off and got her head pointed in the direction she was to go. Steam was admitted into the cylinders of the paddle engines about 10 minutes past 8 o'clock; shortly after the order was given " easy ahead with the screw," and the Great Eastern steamed slowly out on her first voyage to sea. It has been a matter of remark in all the trials that no motion whatever is felt when the ship is under way. This was corroborated by our experience of the start this morning. It was not until the objects on shore began to recede that one could realise the fact of the huge ship being fairly on her voyage. A few minutes' steaming brought us abreast of Calahot Castle, where the colours were dipped, in acknowledment of a similar courtesy from the fort. With this exception our departure was ungreeted. The men on board the few vessels we saw had seen so muck of the big ship that she excited no emotion in their minds, and we passed without a single cheer. The ship rounded the Bell Buoy and ran into the Solent with the handiness of a yacht. As we passed Yarmouth our presence was acknowledged by lowerin 0 ° . the ensign of the Yacht Club - house, a civility duly returned by the ship. In two hours from starting we were abreast of the Needles, a little to the east ward of which we passed a large ship on shore, that had come to grief in trying to run out during the haziness of the previous evening. At 20 minutes past 10 o'clock we discharged our Southampton pilot, Mr. Bowyer, who, on taking his departure, fraternised very cordially with his American con frere, Mr. Murphy. In a few minutes we again got under way, with the screw making 27 revolutions and the paddles about 71 revolutions per minute, and ran down Channel. The ship on starting drew 22 feet of water forward and 26 aft. Her right trim is on an even keel, so that her condition was rather unfavourable to her best performance. She had 5,500 tons of coals in the bunkers. Being stored principally aft, this had something to do with her being down by the stern. The object in making the trip out was not to attempt to get any great amount of speed out of the ship, but to get machinery and men into good working order. After discharging the pilot, the ship steamed steadily down the English Channel, nicking a straight course past the Bill of Portland. Nume rous vessels were passed, but no notice was taken of us, if we except the case of one little schooner, which, standing across our bows, held on her course until a collision seemed inevitable. She then sheared up alongside near enough to toss a biscuit on board, and having apparently satisfied herself of our character and proportions, luffed up and continued her voyage. By 130 p.m. we were abreast of Portland light, whence we made the run to the start in something under four hours, show ing an average, under easy steam, of nearly 12 knots an hour. At 752 we sighted the Eddystone lighthouse, distant five miles. The Lizard was seen at 9 p.m. and'passed at 11 20, the lighthouse bearing north-north-east distant seven miles. To wards evening the weather, which during the day had been thick, with occasional showers, cleared up and became fine. MONDAY, JUNE 18. Commenced with light, variable breezes and hazy weather. Ship steamed steadily on her course, with the paddles making eight to eight and a half revolutions and the screw about 28. At 2 a.m. sighted St. Agnes light, and at 7 passed to the southward of Bishop's Rock. As we rounded the Scilly Islands we met the long westerly swell of the Atlantic Ocean. The great ship acknow ledged its power by behaving very much in the same way as another would have done under similar cir cumstances—that is to say, that she rolled very dis tinctly. The motion, though similar in kind, is much less in degree and much slower than in a smaller vessel. Observations at noon showed that we were in latitude 49 deg. 27 min. north, and longitude 7 deg. 54 min. west. Distance run from the Needles 300 knots. The engineer's log showed that the paddle engines had made on an average eight and a half revolutions, and the screw 28 revolutions ; average pressure of steam 151 b., with a consump tion of coals since getting under way of 250 tons. No more striking illustration of the economy of the principle involved in the construction of the Great Eastern can be given than by a moment's comparison of her day's work with that of the ' crack ship of the Cunard line—the Persia. This vessel, which is about one-fifth the tonnage of her gigantic rival, burns on an average 170 or 180 tons of coal a day. Her average performance under steam alone would not exceed this first day's run of Commenced wi th fresh breezeS and light misty weather. Wind hauled again to the westward, with heavy squalls of rain. At 8 a.m. took in all sail. One of the most interesting lounges on board of the ship was a visit to the engine-rooms to watch the ponderous masses of metal revolving with steady, uniform motion in the performance of their appointed task. Nothing can be more easy and beautiful than the mode in which both screw and paddle engines have worked. While lying at Southampton alterations were made in the valve gear, by which priming in the cylinders seems to have been successfully obviated. All who were on board during the trial trips will remember the tremendous pounding noise made by the piston at times from this cause. To the uninitiated it seemed as if the bottom of the cylinder must inevitably be knocked out. Opening a small tap to allow the escape of the intruding water was the remedy which speedily put a stop to the disturbance. Everything has gone on with the most perfect order and precision. The paddle-engines worked so quietly that, with the eyes shut, one would be unconscious of a power being in operation which, in its resistless force seems scarcely inferior to those which operate in the dread convulsions of nature. Though really far more powerful than the paddle-engines, the screw engines do not convey. to the mind the same impression of calm matured strength. They wrestle with the ponderous screw shaft so busily as to give the idea of making great efforts to accom plish their task. The engines are the largest ever made for marine purposes, and their performances in every particular are worthy of the firm estab lished by the father of the steam engine—James Watt. The only mistake made in fitting them was that of employing " soft metal" bearings for the screw shaft. This, when exposed to the action of the salt water, during the run from Portland to Holyhead and back to Southampton, speedily gave out. Bearings in brass and lignumvitre were then substituted, and these have been found to answer well. A long westerly swell this morning caused the ship to roll more than she has ever done yet. Weather thick and foggy, putting one in mind of the banks of Newfoundland. Towards noon cleared up sufficiently to get the usual observations, which determinded our position to be latitude 46 deg. 16 min. north, longitude 30 deg. 3 min. west_ Dis tance run 304 miles. Sandy Hook bore 79 deg. 45 min. west, distant 1,960 miles. Got sail on the ship about 5 p.m., but the wind soon hauled so much ahead that they were useless, and before midnight were taken in. People were not quite so sanguine to-day about making the shortest passage to the westward. They thought it might be extended to ten days, and those who had been most frequently across even contemplated the possibility of its being eleven days before we saw New York. FRIDAY, JUNE 22. We have not been fortunate as respects wind. It has prevailed from the westward ever since start ing., sometimes veering sufficiently to induce the officer of the watch to make sail, but then hauling ahead so as to render the canvas of little service. The experience of the effect of the sails on the ship's way up to the present seems to indicate that with a good breeze they will add one knot an hour to her speed, besides easing the engines. During the mid dle watch fresh breeze from the north-west ; at 4 a.m. shifted to the south-west and blew freshly, with rain squalls; at 7.30 a.m. wind hauled again to the north-west ; in ail sail ; at noon moderate breezes and cloudy ; heavy swell from south-south west. Latitude, by observation, 44 deg. 50 min. N.; longitude, 36 deg. 14 min. west. Distance run, 276 miles. Sandy Hook bore south 81 deg. 30 min. west ; distant 1,684 miles. Average revolutions of the paddles, 10; of the screw 36, with 20 pounds of steam. Consumption of coal, 266 tons. At 1 p.m. passed a British barque bound west, and ex changed colours with her. At 3 p.m. wind hauled to north-north-west, set forestaysail and trysails. At 6 p.m. veered back to the westward, in all sail. Heavy leaden-coloured clouds to the west, with increasing breeze. At 8 p.m. cloudy, with moderate breeze. SATURDAY, JUNE 23. Commenced with cloudy weather, and light wind from the north-west. At 8 a.m. shifted to southward and eastward, but too light to be serviceable. At noon cloudy and calm. Ship ran into the Gulf Stream this morning, having steered well south to avoid meeting ice on the banks. Too cloudy for _ob servation ; latitude by reduction to the meridian , deg. 50 min. north; long. 42 deg. 16 min' west; distance run 301 miles; paddle engines have alv:irnaifte 101 revolutions, and the screw 351 per of fuel steam gauge marking2olb., and consumption 265 tons. Set foresail and and fore towards ail, wind too light to make them draw well, even ing again hauled ahead and blew freshly from the westward all night. With this pressure and num_ ber of revolutions th e ship ran by the log 14 and 141 knots. SUNDAY, JUNE 24. Strong breezes from the north-west vee r i ng t o the north. Set fore and aft canvas ; at 6 a.m. ex changed colours with all American liner bound RECEPTION OF THE SHIP IN NEW YORK. As the morning advanced, the haze cleared away, the sun came out with a blue sky, such as America and Italy only can boast. Not a breath of air ruffled the surface of the water, and the ship lay motion less some mile from the light ship. She was sur rounded by outward-bound vessels, which lay be calmed around, with their colours hoisted in her honour. Our presence was known in New York by 10 a.m., and two tugs and small passenger steamers immediately started, crowded with passengers, to come and have a look at the ship. By 11 o'clock they commenced coming alongside, and from that time until our arrival in New York the scene was one of vociferous cheering and dipping of ensigns on the part of our warm-hearted and enthusiastic " American cousins," and of hearty but inefficient attempts on the part of those on board to respond to their hearty welcome. About 1.30 p.m. the steamtug Achilles arrived, bringing the secretary of the company, Mr. Yates, the consignees of the ship, Messrs. Grinnell and Murturn, and the repre sentatives of the New York press. About two steam was got up, and under the able charge of Mr. Murphy, the New York pilot, safely crossed the bar, and proceededonward towards the noble bay of New York, surrounded by a flotilla of steamers, all crowded with passengers, whose spontaneous bursts of enthusiasm bore testimonylto their astonishment and delight. The great ship in her passage up was constantly met by these crowded steamers, all of which after paying their tribute of cheers, and re ceiving those in return of the passengers and guests on board, rounded to in the ship's wake and followed her, like a flock of white cyg nets in the rear of a huge black swan. The scene on approaching the Narrows was truly magnificent. The immense flotilla escort, crowded with people, and decorated with flags ; and the noble bay, which could now be seen covered with white-sailed yachts and steamers, all crowding in the direction of the ship, formed a tableau which for picturesque beauty could not be surpassed. Just outside the Narrows the Great Eastern fired a salute from her 18. pounders to the American sag. This compliment was almost immediately re sponded to by a splendid little United States re venue steamer, the Harriet Lane. At 3.45 we arrived abreast of Fort Lafayette, in the Narrows, from which another grand salute was fired. This was not returned until we had fairly entered the bay, when the sleeping echoes of Staten Island and the opposite shore were awakened by the deep-toned thunder of our guns. From this point to the dock selected for mooring the Great Eastern, in the North river, off Ham mond-street, the scene was a perfect ovation. Hundreds of small craft shot out from both shores and fell into the cortege which followed her—a huge fan composed of vessels of all classes and sizes, from the noble river steamer to a sailing wherry. When the battery was reached it was found to be so densely packed with human beings that no por tion of the ample park-like space could be distin guished. Spectators clung to the tops and rigging of the shipping at the wharves like swarming bees. From every steamer in port, either British or American, salutes were fired. Gun after gun blazed away so thick and fast, that we were fain to content ourselves with dipping our colours, and give up all hope of being able to make a return in kind. Arrived at the place selected for her stay in New York, some little difficulty was experienced in getting the ship's head turned against the strong flood-tide down stream. This was eventually effected, however, and she was run alongside her dock with very little more difficulty than above bridge on the Thames. The run of the Great Eastern down the Thames on her first trial pro duced an amount of enthusiasm very seldom wit nessed in England, but the scene was tame com pared with that which awaited her at New, York. If the rush to view her more nearly bears any pro portion to that made to see her entrance into Neal r York, the Great Ship Company congratulation in having sent her over tile r another How this may be it will be the business 0 letter to describe. w ill have Acauatic.

At a GENERAL MEET LNG of the PROPRIETORS, held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, London, on WEDNESDAY, the 11th of July, 1860—present, P. Northall.Laurie, Esq., in the chair, and two hundred and sixty-seven proprietors—the following report was read by the secretary : The I hectors beg to submit to the Proprietors the ac counts of the business of the bank for the year ending 30th June last, from which it will be seen that, after payment of all charges, and including the sum of £122 Os. 6d. brought forward from the last yearly account, the profits amount to £124,563 14s. 6d. The extent and nature of the frauds committed on the Bank by W. G. Pullinger, the late chief cashier, have been the subject of a report issued to the proprietors immediately after their discovery, and of a circular more recently ad dressed to them; but it now becomes the duty of the Directors to furnish the details of the defalcations, as they have been traced in the course of the investigation which has occupied the constant attention of the Directors. The precise amount of the frauds is now ascertained to be £2.63,125 6s. 10d., which represents the difference be tween the balance shown to be due by the Bank of Eng land to this Bank in its own books, and the amount which appeared to be due to it by the books of the Bank of Eng land ; and the investigation of the Directors shows that this sum has been disposed of in manner following : Sums credited to four stock brokers, in their accounts current with this Bank, which were not received Sums credited in same way to a bullion broker (Nathan) Sums credited in same way to two other per sons, customers of the Bank (T. Thorn hill and Parr) _ to become a candidate for the office of Director at this meeting. By order of the Court, H. NEWMARCH, Secretary. 2, Princes-street, Mansion-House, July 4, 1860.

After hopes. deferred, and delays almost innu merable, the Great Eastern is at last upon us. While we write her gigantic shadow is quivering in the waters of the North river, and before another sun has set our Oriental friends will be almost forgotten in the contemplation of this new sensation. Public interest has so often been aroused in connection with this huge triumph of art, and so often disap pointed, that the various announcements of her trial trips and departure have heretofore had little more effect than to excite the disparaging criticisms of the multitude, who, with Yankee pride, are loth to believe in the promptness of English enterprise. Now that the leviathan is fairly here, however, no one can be found who will gaze upon the magnifi cent proportions of this mighty ship and cast a slur upon an experiment which, if successful, is destined to revolutionise, in a measure, the maritime inter course of the world. "The first announcement of the arrival of die Great Eastern at this port was received by telegraph from Sandy Hook in the following despatch : " SANDY 1100 K, Jurc 28, 10.30 A.M. " The steamship Great Eastern came in to the Lightship at half-past 7 o'clock this morning. " She left the Needles at 10 a.m. on the 17th. " With the exception of two days, she has experienced' fine weather. " She has 42 passengers. " She steamed the entire passage, ranging from 254 to 333 miles per 24 hours. "The engines were not stopped until she was off George's Shoal, for soundings. " She came in a route south-east, direct to the Lightship, where she was boarded by our ship news collector and Mr. John Van Dasen, of pilot-boat Washington, No. 4, a busi ness partner of Admiral Murphy, who went out to South ampton for the ship. " She was received, on reaching the Lightship, by Capt. Cosgrcve, with a salute and the dipping of colours, and as the mist blew away all the vessels in sight set their bunt ing and cheered her. " She is drawing 27 feet water aft, and will be trimmed to an even keel before crossing. " The following is the number of miles made per day Date. Miles. Date. Miles.

The investigation also shows that £62,799 6s. 2d. has been traced to the bullion broker referred to—who is known to have been largely engaged with Pullinger in speculative operations, but was not a member of the Stock Exchange. These sums, amounting together to £180,074 ls. 4d., leave an amount of £83,051 ss. 6d. not yet traced to parties as having received it. It is now known that Pullinger had an interest in cer tain race horses, and that he had betted largely on races ; but nothing has transpired to throw any doubt upon his own statement that only a small portion of the money was lost in that way. £90,000 0 0 Amount proposed to be reserved £34,563 14 6 Proceeds of reserved f u nd r ea li s ed 100,851 15 10 Amount proposed to be debited to capital account to meet the frauds of the late chief cashier . .. . 120,000 0 0 £255,415 10 4 It was resolved (one Proprietor dissenting) : That the Report submitted to the meeting be, and the same is, hereby adopted and confirmed, and that the Direc tors be authorised to carry into effect the recommendations contained in the said report. Whereupon the Chairman declared a dividend of 12s. per share for the last six months, ending the 30th June last, which, with the dividend and bonus paid in January last, makes a total payment of 121 per cent., clear of income tax, on X 720,000, the paid up capital of tho Company. It was resolved unanimously : That Arehibald Boyd, Esq., be re-elected a Director of the Bank. It will be seen, by the accounts appended to this report, that the Directors have realised £11,116 14s. 10d. from property of various kinds that belonged to Pullinger ; and though they have taken the safe course Of assuming the balance as a loss, they can assure the proprietors that the subject engages their constant attention, and that no steps are neglected which may lead to the further recovery of property. In their circular letter of the Bth June, the Directors informed the proprietors that they had been engaged in a close examination of the system of checks existing in the bank, and had, in some departments, introduced others which they trusted would prove:effectual safeguards against any repetition of fraud ; and the result has been to ensure the greatest stringency in the administration of the office. It would be impossible to make the effect of these regula tions clear to those not conversant with the daily working and necessarily complicated operations of the bank ; but they are based on an extension of the present system of double responsibility—that is, of each operation of one clerk requiring the check of another, and on a rotation of duties by the clerks in certain departments, whereby the accounts kept by one clerk are, from time to time, trans ferred to another clerk. That Charles Lyall, Esq., be re-elected a Director of the Bank. That Fleetwood Pellew Wilson, Esq., be elected a Direc tor of the Bank. It was proposed by George Hodgkinson, Esq., seconded by Thomas Hislop, Esq. ; and resolved una nimously, That the cordial thanks of this meeting be presented to the Governor, Deputy Governor, and Directors of this Com pany for their services ; and that this Meeting desire to express their entire confidence in their management. Proposed by James Anderton, Esq. ; seconded by G. B. Gunton, Esq., and resolved, That the best thanks and wishes of this Meeting be pre sented to W. W. Scrimgeour, Esq., the tried and faithful Manager of the Bank. Proposed by Donald Stewart, Esq., seconded by Andrew Graham, Esq., and resolved, That the thanks of the Meeting be presented to Mr. HenryNewmarch, the Secretary ; Mr. Robt.F. Ingpeia, the Manager of the Regent-street Branch ; Mr. John St. Barbe, the Manager of the Charing-cross Branch; Mr. John Beattie, the Manager of the Temple-bar Branch ; and the other Officers of the Bank, for the zealous discharge of their several duties `~~ ~~'~~ z~. —= "or acE STAMPED, 5D the Great Eastern. In the one case each horse power propels about three and a half tons, and in the other each horse power propels nearly 91 tons, and corkequeutly to this extent the one ship is more effective in its mechanical result than the other. If the consumption of coal in the larger vesiel was equal in proportion to that of the Persia it would amount to something over 800 tons a day ; but, as already stated, toe Great Ship will do better than this under circumstances more favourable to an ex hibition of power, when, of course, the advantages will he still nmre apparently in her favour. The day's run was looked upon generally as pretty satisffictory, considering the speed and pressure at which the engines had been work and people thereupon began to speculate ,upon the time we should reach New York. The general cunclusion arrived at was that she would gut across the bar at Sandy Hook by three o'clock of Wednesday, June 27. A few sanguine people expressed an opinion about her making the shortest passage that had ever been m a d e ; b u t these were not quite so well aware of the ex pressed determination of the officers in charge to go slowly but surely. One or two bets were made that she would beat the Adriatic, who left three days after her. Attention was diverted from this topic by the announcement that they were getting , canvas on the ship; At 1 o'clock p.m. the fore and aft canvas was set, with the effect of slightly in creasing her speed and diminishing the amount of rolling motion. As the wind kept pretty steady the foresail and foretopsail were set. By 6 o'clock p.m. the fore and aft sails were taken in, and by midnight the square sails were clewed up, the wind having increased during the night to a fresh gale. Up to the time of setting sail the wind had been from the westward, with too little northing in it to make sails draw ; it then veered round to the east - ward,.and blew 111 gusts, with rainy 'sintilli'l r OFtEW rest of the evening. TUESDAY, JUNE 19. From midnight to 9 a.m. it blew strongly from north to east, and the ship increased her roll very perceptibly. Two or three of the trysails and the fore staysail were set, but the wind soon hauled to the westward again, and they had to be taken in, Ship quite lively at breakfast time, but not enough to prevent all the passengers putting in appearance and discussing the good things set before them. The rolling motion of the great ship, though sufficiently decided, is so easy and long that it is not likely that the most squeamish voyager will suffer much from sea sickness ; if it is not escaped entirely, it will most certainly be reduced to a minimum. At noon this day, our latitude, by observation, was 48 deg. 41 min. N., lon. 16 deg. 12 rain. W. Distance run, 310 miles. Calculating the day at 24 hours, this would give a speed of 14.1 knots ; but it must be borne in mind that the day from noon to noon, in running to the westward, exceeds 24 hours by the amount of longitude made. The difference in longitude between New York and the Needles is about five hours, so that in making a ten days' run a ship would gain about half an hour a day. As the ship gained during this fine run fully that amount, it reduces the average rate per hour to 13 and 8-10th knots. The paddle engines ave raged 91 and the screw engines 301 revolutions per minute during the day. The consumption of coal was 246 tons; average pressure of steam, 171 b. to 181 b. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20. Light breezes from the W.N.W. all the morning, which veered at 8 p.m. to the S.W. Set trysails and fore topsails. This morning, to test the accu racy of the ship's compasses, steamed for 50 minutes due north and for 50 minutes due south, thus losing 1 hour 40 minutes in the day's run. Only one compass was found to be in any way affected by the attractive power of the ship's hull. At noon we were in 47 deg. 40 min. north lat., and 22 deg. 54 min. west lon.—distance run, 276 miles. The paddles averaged 10 revolutions, and the screw 31 per minute, during the 24 hours. The consumption of coal for the same period was 272 tons ; average pressure of steam, 191 b. Towards evening the wind increased .oensidcrably, and by midnight blew up heavy rain. THURSDAY, JUNE 21. NEWSPAPER I _ . 1 7 " .

'Joe force of the current . • is set down in charts at two knots an hour in this part of the Gulf.

According to Lieut. Maury the distance by the tine courseis only 2,980 miles; consequently we have hkit in this Wfil . 270 miles. Add to this the loss in tlw Gulf Strom, arid we have the voyage lengthened at least one day from these causes. The eng.iIWLYS report showed that for tie day, from noon to noon, the paddles had averaged 11.1 revolutions and the screw 36 5 per minute, and that the consumption of coal had been 283 tons MONDAY, JUNE 25. , Light breezes and fine warm. weather. Passed patches of Cult' weed and saw flying fish. At noon the latitude was 40 deg. 58 min. N., longitude 56 deg. 10 min. ; distance run 325 miles. Passed several shies bound for the eastward. Calm, clear weathur ail day; towards night a breeze sprang up from the southward and eastward. Fore arid aft canvas set at 9 p.m., the revolution of the paddles reached 11.75 and. of her screw 35 . 5, with a con sumption of coal of 269 tons ; average pressure of steam 20Ib. ; ship made 13,-1- and 14 knots by the log during the whole day. - TUESDAY, JUNE 26. Commenced with light breezes from the south ward, veering towards the west • foggy at times, forming banks to l e ewa r d, ver y closely resembling the land. At 10 a.m. wind ha u l e d aga i n t o t he westward; in all sail ; cleared the Gulf Stream ; latitude at noon 40 deg. 58 min. north, longitude 63 deg. 31 min. west ; distance 333 miles ; Sandy Hook bore sluth, 86 deg. 15 min. west, distant 477 miles ; paddles averaged 121 revolutions, the screw 361 ; average pressure of steam, 211 b.; consump tion of coal, 298 tons ; at half-past 3 p.m. a heavy, dense fog came on, which obliged us to keep the whistles going ; engines eased, ship going half speed speed' - ull night; stopped to sound; no bottom at 100 fathoms. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27. Commenced with less fog, engines going easy till daylight; towards noon fog lifted ; pilot boat No. 1 hove in sight ; ran down nearly alongside, fired a gun to windward, and dipped her ensign ; ship's colours hoisted and dipped in acknowledgment; at noon, the latitude was 40 deg. 13 min. north ; longitude 68 deg. 56 min. west ' • distance run 254 mil e s ; Sandy Ho o k bore south 79 deg. 30 min. west ; distant 234 miles. THURSDAY, JUNE , XS. Ran under easy steam all night, and at 2Nlimi nutes past seven o'clock (ship's time) this mottling reached the lightship at Sandy Hook, thus making the run, in spite of the long route taken, the loss of time by encountering the Gulf Stream, and the delay from fogs, in 11 days two hours, including the difference of time. The distance run by the ship was 3,242 miles ; deducting the loss of time from fog, this gives a speed of about 13 knots, proving that with a clear bottom and a full pres sure of steam, she would overrun Brunel's estimate of fourteen and a half knots an hour for a long run. Though the passage was, all things considered, de cidedly fine, it was still sufficiently checkered to settle the important point of the Great Eastern being the most comfortable passenger ship in the world. Her movements in a seaway are so long, slight, and easy that no inconvenience is produced. Sea sickness may be considered as annihilated, and all the attendant discomforts of a sea passage re duced to a minimum. The power► of the vessel have been but very im perfectly developed as yet. She may be considered as inaugurating a new era in steam navigation, fraught with the most beneficial consequences to civilisation and commercial progress. ~~ -_ __- - l re but He the Asko ,:nsi- ....~,
